Many fall in the face of chaos, but not this one, not today
Eugh watching him eat tomatoes was a terrible day to have eyes
I listened to it while lifting, and now every time I lift while listening to something else I’m like “ugh this book is fine but it’s no Silmarillion”
I’ve listened to dozens of great books at the gym, but there’s only two I’ve wanted to listen to a second time: Silmarillion and Norse Mythology by Neil Gaimon
There’s just such a vibe to those books. The stories are short, but they feel ancient. I feel rooted when I listen to them.
That and when I’m trying to fall asleep and it’s winter. I’m cozy and feeling the hygge. I’ve got my warm drink and blankets and I want a bedtime story of how Morgoth was cast down
Golden chandelier sure is proud about his efforts to oppress his fellow Americansenemies. He really hates Americans having freedom I guess
Thanks for getting me to laugh this early
Looks like, nasty weather…

I love this game, it’s got so much flavor and drama. Yeah some of the missions are practically impossible, but there’s something about cruising along on a hilly road, watching the city lights
This is written by Ray Dalio, the conservative billionaire.
The “extremist left” he is worried about is Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax on billionaires.

Definitely include a graph of shareholder value overlayed on top.
Sarcasm aside, maybe we should have a graph that also shows:
And see that by basically all metrics we are working more, paid less, more depressed, more stressed, and unhappy.
Perhaps strong communities are exactly what we need to resist modern fascism. Communities of high trust and resilience that can resist culture war propaganda.
Hold strong Mr Fordo
CrossFit, running club, November project, hiking club, board game clubs, DND clubs, Meetup.com events. Coed sports leagues like: disc golf, infinite Frisbee, soccer.
There’s also things like live figure drawing, music jam clubs, acting in local plays.
Freedom for me, not for thee
This is why I love more abstract systems like Fate Core or Cortex Prime. They’ve got systems flexible enough to be turned into really anything you want. I ran a Fate Core game for a year that had tons of cooking and feasts, modeled off of the Redwall books. The heros were always preparing some feast or finding some new food to forage.
This ‘carrier bag theory’ is brilliant. It makes a lot of sense that being able to carry lots of things is so much more important than throwing a stick. Another comment called it “unfathomably based” and I agree.
Also, we aren’t going to “beat” climate change. We’re going to have to humble ourselves and say no to things. We’re going to have to adapt, not overcome.
I suppose this is a hot take, but I’d never intentionally select a closed source paid database or programming language. Your data is the most valuable thing you have. The idea that you’d lock yourself into a contract with a third party is extremely risky.
For example, I’ve never seen a product on Oracle that didn’t want to migrate off, but every one has tightly coupled everything Oracle so it’s nearly impossible. Why start with Oracle in the first place? Just stay away from paid databases, they are always the wrong decision. It’s a tax on people who think they need something special, when at most they just need to hire experts in an open source database. It’ll be much much cheaper to just hire talent.
Meanwhile I’ve done two major database shifts in my career, and you are correct, keeping to ANSI standard SQL is extremely important. If you’re on a project that isn’t disciplined about that, chances are they are undisciplined about so many other things the whole project is a mess that’ll be gone in ten years anyway. I know so few projects that have survived more than fifteen years without calls for a “rewrite”. Those few projects have been extremely disciplined about 50% of all effort is tech debt repayment, open source everything, and continuous modernization.
I don’t think it’s going away until ECMA supports native types. Until then it’s the best game in town.
If a team decides to move away from it, it’s only few hours work to entirely remove. So even if it’s going away, it’s risk free until then.
But I cannot imagine why any team would elect to remove Typescript without moving to something else similar. Unless it’s just a personal preference by the developers who aren’t willing to learn it. It removes so many issues and bugs. It makes refactoring possible again. I think teams that want to remove all types are nostalgic, like a woodworker who wants to use hand tools instead of power tools. It’s perfectly fine, and for some jobs it’s better. But it’s not the most efficient use of a team to build a house.
Seems like it increases cancer risk, but it’s the cheapest way we have to sanitize water so

I’m putting the water in glass containers, so no need to worry about it leeching materials. Also, I am positive I get all the micronutrients (the paper your cited refers to magnesium and iron) I need from vegetables, without needing to resort to tap water that contains high levels of microplastics. I also brush my teeth with floride, so no need to worry about dental caries.
I got a copy of it, excited to give it a listen!
