Yeah even messing with a venv was too much work for me. So I used this and it's as simple as extract the download and run the curl | bash script inside it. Is it safe for enterprise use? Nay. Is it more convenient than manually futzing

2022 was the year I learned how to articulate what a random email or piece of paper means to me, whether there is work to be done about it, what the work looks like when it has been completed, and what my next physical step to do it is. Tha

Just wanted to say I appreciated this nice start to a story and now I have an app idea to create crowdsourced interactive fiction or at least branching fiction, one paragraph at a time. You pay the in-app-token equivalent of $0.25 to post a

Documentation can't save us from being human. No data translated from one medium (brain) to another (paper) and back (brain) is 100% efficient. But documentation is not only 'tutorials' / how to do something. Documentati

If even Microsoft is trimming employees, whether it's less than X % or not is somewhat immaterial. The chilling fear of job loss articles like it produces is still a feeling I experience. At least for me, I have multiple former coworke

I mean, isn't that a potential usecase for Syncthing? If I go offline on one of my devices, my files are still locally on the system. When it comes back online, it re-syncs the other devices to use my latest files.

I wonder _why_ it is that 50% of the initial team has left within 3-5 years? Could it be that continuous rewrites and ever-shifting tech stacks is a symptom / the "pound of cure" to the problem created by companies not valuin

It reminds me of the ancient concept of patronage. If you were a patron, you housed and fed your client, and in return, they were expected to act the part out. So if you had a garden hermit, they needed to act their part out, and act gratef
