interesting, I've had a much easier time pairing (and felt benefits like you describe) over Zoom. Pairing by actually having 2 people at a desk never felt very comfortable, but screen-sharing with each person on their own monitor etc.

Is this accounting for inflation? 4% inflation per year (the most common estimate I see in the US) means 3x over 30 years doesn't even break even (1.04**30 ≈ 3.24). I often wonder how much people obsessed with home prices rising (in th

Back of envelope: The 10MB estimated size came from [100 bytes per row] * [100k rows]. 50 of the bytes per row were "description", which should compress well (2-3x, I'd guess). 40 bytes per row were the IPFS ID/hash, IIU

if you are "cutting and pasting from the notebook into a .py file" you should look at `jupyter nbconvert` on the CLI. I think there's ways to feed it a template that basically metaprograms what you want the output .py file to

semi-OT but Twitter seems to have recently started putting "mobile.twitter.com" in my URL bar (on mobile), as well as adding a UUID in a "t" query param when you use their "copy link" flow, which is all annoyin

(post author here ) "Better bike infrastructure" and "a bit of pedal assist" are both good things that we need more of. Even in the best possible future, I believe cycling in US cities will involve some amount of mixing

Maybe I need to caveat it more, but I'm really focused on the range from, say, ≈5mph (uphill on a "leg-bike", or starting from a stop at a light or stop sign) to ≈25mph (roughly my top speed on a leg-bike or e-bike). In that

Used e-bikes are also available, and cheaper. I'm comparing new cars to new e-bikes and, sure, in both cases you can get something "pretty good" for ≈half the average new {e-bike,car} price. Some people will get something &qu

A problem with rebase workflows that I don't see addressed (here or in the replies) is: if I have, say, 20 local commits and am rebasing them on top of some upstream, I have to fix conflicts up to 20 times; in general I will have to st

There may be some subjectivity around what constitutes added/removed complexity. The ability to factor out repeated logic and configuration in SBT, by dint of using Scala instead of XML, removes a lot of complexity. Of course, arbitrar
