I could also see myself in Mexico City since I already speak Spanish pretty fluently, and have far more friends who expatriated there, but I really wanted to learn Russian and Berlin has much better resources for foreign language instructio

I do love living in New Orleans, either this or Brooklyn are the only real cities for me here. I need to be able to walk to a grocery store. I'm privileged to have lived here for 6 years, and the only reason I recently got an old truck

Seems the intent is to clearly separate commentary from code. I could see that being intentional, imagine cursive annotations on a printed document.

I tried a few prompts that were misses, and there was one that it nailed on the head. Here's the prompt > The pace of technological and social evolution, catalyzed by massively accelerating interconnection is causing our society to

Git’s style of decentralization, still requires individual git servers no? Is there something like git, but based on magnet/torrent architecture?

This advice will sound like a joke, but getting drunk in your target language goes a long way. I studied Spanish for years but didn't feel like I had it "in flow", and couldn't quite nail down feeling comfortable communi

It wasn't euphoria. It was the realization that the finest intricate details embedded in the way I breathe, reflect my experiences, and my emotional connection to those details is strongly influenced by what I experienced when I was to

Holotropic breathing. Someone in my town offers workshops on Conscious Connected Breathing. I would have never thought that just breathing for an hour would fundamentally change my life, yet here I am. My relationship with deep seated traum

Some say that New Orleans is so far behind, that it's ahead. Definitely true. The information systems in SF all feel like they were built in 2010. I've had a digital ID ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/la-w

> IIRC only ~10% of prisoners are held in privately run prisons. It's kind of a red herring. I disagree. Even if only 10% of prisoners are held in privately run prisons, the corporate leadership of those prisons has a disproportiona

The OP glossed over managing styles and i18n between embedded JS apps and the host app. I'm not sure if there is a way to create strictly isolated CSS in pure server rendered applications without managing naming your own selectors manu

You can use custom queries in metabase and parameterize them, for any parameter you can expose the parameter with a text field available when you embed the "question" anywhere. https://hevodata.com/blog/postgr

I think Docker is very useful for beginning developers and for spinning up and trying out services quickly. The barrier for getting started with web development used to be so much higher, even for people on Mac OSX. To setup a rails develop

My battery started failing on my 2016 Macbook Pro. I took it in and Apple said it would take 5 days to fix. I found a loaner macbook, but didn't want to setup a whole development environment to use for just a week. So I used Google Clo

One tip, is to keep re-using them as long as you can. We have non-biodegradable trashcan liners for our kitchen trash-can. It helps that we recycle, compost, and are vegan (so nothing particularly icky is in the trash). We can usually go 2-

I started writing myself weekly letters. I would, in narrative form: tell myself what I really enjoyed; what was stressful; and what didn't work out. I came up with a list of affirmations and things to keep in mind for the coming week.

Having been a rails engineer for 12+ years, I can say I haven't used rails for front end work in about 5 years. In 2011 I started migrating front ends from erb to ERB heavily enhanced with angular, my frontends relied more and more on

I just eat in a 3 hour window starting at 6pm every weekday. I sometimes do this on weekends as well. If you're curious what I eat in that window, it's mostly non-starch based vegetables, tofu, and paneer.

I'm really surprised intermittent fasting hasn't been mentioned. I've found eating one meal/day or restricting eating to a 3 hour window to be very beneficial for my energy levels, focus, time, and financial habits. I&#x

I think 'hostile' is a bit harsh. I'd say 'infinitely reticent to large changes'. All the neovim authors wanted, was a list of blockers needed to merge their async patch. Bram would never give them that, always comi

Apathy and inaction is the easiest thing, as it always has been. Those in power know this, and depend on it to perpetuate doing things the way they always have been. The distinction between who is in power and who is not has always been in

My SO is of the same sex. We are both in tech, he is more of a ux designer (though he started as a rails engineer), and I am more backend. We hack together often, and constantly inspire each other to be disruptive in what we put together. F
