Intriguing idea! I love the idea of having a database of the commands you’ve run and their output. I use tmux religiously, but it’s sometimes frustrating using a crappy interface to spelunk my terminal history and manually look for the vari

I’m always on the lookout for chícharones cooked in a healthy fat, but I’ve never found them cooked in anything but vegetable oils.

There’s a lot of snap bashing in here, but one thing that seems really appealing is that snaps are run in sandboxes and protected by AppArmor profiles. I don’t know how good the implementation is, but sandboxing would seem to alleviate the

Has anyone tried https://github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii ? It seems to be under active development but it always makes me nervous when the vast majority of updates come from one person. (What happens to the project w

Sometimes I feel like programming is physically and mentally designed to create bad health and mood, at least if you’re not very careful about how you’re _being_ while doing it. Maybe it’s just me, but I have to work hard to avoid: - Bad po

What city was this in? Every state and city in Mexico can be a different story, but it seems to change every year. Guadalajara seemed safe a few years ago and is now considered dangerous, for example. Yucatan seems like it has been safe for

100% agree. I think the unsolved meta problem here is large-scale game theoretic stalemates where we all lose in grand ways, and yet nobody can bust out of their local incentives. To do so successfully would require thousands of unacquainte

Calling it a joyride seems like typical rage bait du jour. Space is a worthy project. Projects need goals to rally around, and this was a goal being accomplished. Who cares who was on the ride? Furthermore, making it all about the richest f

I used to do that and I had to stop because my recall of the dreams was so detailed that it took me an hour to write it all down in the morning. The details were too vivid to gloss over or not write down, and eventually I wanted that hour b
