Huge fan of the Uni-ball Signo UM-151 Gel Pen (I get the 28mm). I've been buying them from jetpens for years.

In the video, they apparently didn't actually check up on the answer it gave about the next eclipse. The April 8 2024 total eclipse is best seen in North America. Exmouth Australia was where the April 20 2023 total eclipse occurred. h

Just want to say I've recently started listening, and I really love the podcast. The last few interviews have been fascinating and really well done!

I also use Nix, and agree with these caveats. My personal experience is that it can be hard to initially set up Nix, but once you do, it's rock solid. It's particularly great for sharing config across machines. Here's config

The mockingbirds and catbirds I’ve heard are easy to identify, not from a particular sound but from how they string sounds together. It seems to me they copy notes, but not songs.

Yeah, you missed where it seems to nearly pull out right in front of a truck hauling a boat (~8:27).

In my experience, Wyoming was one of the most pleasant states to bike across (apart from the bits of interstate you need to take). Highways with wide shoulders and little traffic. Just get started early to avoid the afternoon wind.

Love that this is a project, anything to get more people doing long distance biking in the US. I'll just add that on my tours, I tended to avoid rail trails. They are nice at first, but quickly become boring. Too straight, too flat and

I'm pro-office, and I'm not a manager or anything. I just prefer working in offices, and prefer when my colleagues do too, because I find face-to-face interaction much more satisfying.

Thanks for explaining! It sounds like I am just lucky with my set up not to run into issues. Hopefully they come up with a solution soon.

1 — Sure. But Nix isn't exactly the most friendly package manager to begin with. I wouldn't recommend it if you're not comfortable creating volumes. 2 — Could you explain? Mine is on and working, I didn't need to do anyt

It's funny, I just had to do this a few days ago. This comment has worked for me on two machines: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2925#issuecomment-539570...

Nix is very cool, and I encourage anyone to at least install nix on their machine and try it out. I started using it on my Mac, mostly to set up a Haskell environment, which at the time meant quicker builds than using other tools, due to th

What you describe can also be done with one buffer and multiple windows that show the same buffer, and I do this all the time. The position of the cursor is associated with a window when multiple windows present the same buffer.

I think the filter you would need for a fisheye like that would be specialized and somewhat expensive, though, due to the protruding front element. Someone in the comments said it would pretty much be the cost of the lens.

> there’s not a single concrete example of how linear types would help real-life code Given what Rust has achieved in terms of memory management, that seems like a strange claim to make? There are also some rather concrete examples here:

I'm particularly excited about the prospect of linear types; not so much for helping with space/GC efficiency (which is good of course) but for modeling state transitions and ensuring that, for instance, some intermediate state mu

I use org-mode to track my todos, track my time, and to take notes. The big benefit for me is that it can link to lots of different types of things within my emacs environment. For instance, I manage my email from within emacs (using mu4e),
