I’ve done this enough times I chain the desired command and the cd together: cd ~/x/y/z && my-command So that when I CTRL-R for my-command it automatically reminds me.

I used to feel this was true for me, and to a large degree still do. But lately I’ve been wondering to what extent this is a self-limiting belief, and how much I can train myself to remain productive in the face of interruptions. My life is

Possible, yes, and frequently used I’m sure, but entangles the retirees financial future with the business’s future — the retiree loses if the new owners make bad decisions, overleverage, and end up defaulting / bankrupting themselves.

Building inspections are not really the same as purchase inspections, or at least don’t seem to me like they should be. Purchase inspection generally might not see a partially-constructed building or blueprints or otherwise be able to verif

I had a manager — who I basically loved — that loved to say “assume positive intent”, perhaps from teammate $T And I tried! But my priors were that teammate $T has rejected ideas from most of my design documents for (imho) inconsequential r

I use a similar setup to store code snippets (certain Java annotations for integration/unit tests, various things like that), vehicle license plate/vins, internal (but nonsensitive) ids for test accounts, tons of things like that.

Really neat! I’ve been wanting to make something similar for _years_ to be a standardized data modeling testbed as I explore/experiment/prototype some new feature or problem space or even doing ad-hoc fixes. I think this is a much

I’ve learned a TON from the [okhttp3]( https://square.github.io/okhttp/ ) codebase, highly recommend studying it.

The original seems to have been designed with different goals in mind. I have no doubt that the new ux better optimized their new goals, I just don’t agree that the new goals were as useful to me personally.

Seems like GP means it’s noticeable but difficult to interpret?

Gotta love military-grade pragmatism.

I am SUPER worried about this when it affects something really important, like getting the client/customer/merchant/cardholder their money. It seems like the world has moved on without me —- “ohh, three nines is enough”… “hrm

Really interesting. I've been on Adderall for almost 10 years and am constantly accused of being overly optimistic, which sounds a lot like the "the brain to fix its attention on the benefits, rather than the costs, of completing

Everything is a probability game; it’s not about reducing risk to zero (impossible!) but having less risk than the alternative.

Yeah thing $T _might_ (but probably won’t) happen, so the idea is automatically terrible.

I really love the pragmatism behind saying: yes, X sucks, but it’s still useful.

There's also the occasional _necessity_ for making a breaking change, in particular _breaking some exploit_ and thereby making the software more secure. I don't envy Chrome leadership's decision or having that problem to solv

ahhh this is a much better theory than mine: my first thought was the lifting of a holiday deploy freeze.

Down for me on work + personal accounts. I guess their holiday deploy freeze is lifted? :-)

I’d never heard of 120% until this thread, but I immediately interpreted it to mean “you’re free to do your self directed 20% work on nights/weekends/your “own time”.” It actually took me a second to see yours, but I guess you mea

Then parameterize & return results for one specific duration, return that duration with results, and make it easy to adjust afterward. “Here are the results I found for the last week...” “Show the same for the last 10 days”

In this case, it "steals" the ad revenue that the copyright tries to protect, no? Or am I thinking about this incorrectly?
