I can see that this _could_ happen, but I've had the opposite experience; I spend an hour or 2 every day outside exercising, I knock off at a sensible hour to play with the kids, I have lunch with the wife & kids on days that they aren't at school/work.

I do miss the corporate banter a bit, but organise social events with colleagues in the nearest city periodically that helps.

site down for me; here's an archive link:

Lastfm stopped me moving from Spotify to Apple Music; none of the iOS scrobblers seem to consistently catch all listens.

Heat pumps are so _ordinary_ here (Central Europe), im always a bit surprised how skeptical folks in the US and UK seem to be about them

Sounds like it wasn’t sized well?

Thanks! I didn’t realise it’s common for CPUs to rock dedicated hardware for this.

This’d be a great way to hedge against folks like cloudfront aggressively restricting your training scraping too! Endpoints everywhere

Do you have a source for “with very little observer effect”? I don’t know better, it just seems like a big assumption the CPU can emit all this extra stuff without behaving differently.

There’s quite some fresh gerrymandering going on, and because folks already “tolerate” this, it’s just incremental heat in the pot.

I am obliged to use a public GitHub org for work. Is it “blessed path” to try do the CR part in tangled and sync back to GitHub? I would love to profit from my nice jj habits at the review stage!

The showering thing is an urban legend; you can have landlords try and enforce it, but it infringes on your basic right to enjoy your property iirc and is unenforceable.

The glass thing is accurate tho!

As a jujutsu fan, I like to prepare a nice clean commit history for my reviewers to probably ignore. But I kind of assume - there’s _some tool_ we could use - perhaps on top of GitHub - to make stacked reviews not suck, either actually stacked PRs or just incrementally reviewing a nicely divided branch PR. I thought it might be graphite but it seems that needs some whole other tooling _stuff_ on top? Any recommendations ?

The public transport coverage especially with tram in Zürich is already amazing

Moreover it’s not even possible for us to engage in _honest debate_ about the impact of social media anymore.

Absolutist positions without nuance are the norm, and the folks who control these platforms control to a very large extent the narrative to push surrounding them, both directly through the platforms themselves and indirectly through lobbying and the obscene pool of capital they have siphoned off.

Not op but I also have a varia and feel safer for it. Living in Switzerland, cycle a lot on public curvy roads in the alps. Often I don’t hear someone coming if I’m focusing on something else important - like traffic in the other direction - or I don’t realise there’s actually more than one car about to overtake which the Varia also shows. Generally turning your head around to check is a bit dodgy!
