A few months ago I was working on migrating cloud build for a personal project and hit a documentation error. Submitted a correction via the feedback button and it got fixed few days later. To be honest I was a little surprised by how fast it got fixed.

totally agree with you.

Regardless where you are, removable battery is a huge fire hazard. News about devastating fires caused by e-bikes batteries shows up from time to time. In China, It's common to see posters advocating for the storage of e-bikes outside building.

So don't store it in your home.

As a huge fan of podcasts, I am building a podcast information database that includes metadata on shows and episodes.

2 millions shows, 70 million episodes collected so far.

Now, I just need to find the perfect audience for it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A couple in Canada were reportedly scammed out of $21,000 after getting a call from an AI-generated voice pretending to be their son.

repos sitting in my Bookmarks.

Supposedly, One can search github using `language:typescript filename:docker-compose.yml stars:>1000` but it's not working for me somehow.

DB data can be stored in volume and persisted.

There are a lot of dockerfile / compose examples on github.

Vimium is the vim mode for browser.

I have been living with the broken yank feature for the past two weeks and just found out that Vimium has been disabled on the Mozilla addon site and leaving me no way to get the yank fix.

Also a long time keepass user.

The db file on my Mac is shared with iCloud and is acted as the master file. All updates happen on the mac and the rest of the clients just sync and do read only. It has been working well.

All my website passwords are saved in firefox account so I rarely need to update the db file.

I have both PHPStorm and Pycharm running, each takes up 4+GB memory on a 8G M1. Slowly growing memory usage for WindowServer process makes matter worse.

For the last week, I have been playing with Neovim in spare time using a setup based on https://github.com/LunarVim/nvim-basic-ide It does pinning plug-in too.

It's working well for small projects so far.

Software I use the daily

Apptivate - set global keyboard shortcut for Mac. Firefox - been using it for 20 years and still loving it. Vimium - vim binding for Firefox. Make web browsing more productive.

I built a historical feed builder[0] so I can listen to previous episodes in one feed.

Most podcast feeds only include last ~100 episodes. Podcasts such as Planet Money and Radio Lab have more than 1000 episodes in total.

Manually combining the feeds is too time consuming and I enjoy building this tool.

the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse and Addiction just released a new report[1] on Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines.

> Among healthy individuals, there is a continuum of risk for alcohol-related harms whereby the risk is: > • Negligible to low for individuals who consume two standard drinks or less per week; > • Moderate for those who consume between three and six standard drinks per week; and > • Increasingly high for those who consume more than six standard drinks per week.

standard drink is the equivalent of a bottle of beer (12 oz., 341 ml, 5% alcohol) read more on the old report [2]

I know I will watch my beer intake more closely now.

At least the company was being honest.

I have heard some companies hide the truth of relocating to another city and announce it right before the move. As employee, you either move with the company or find a new job.

It's probably better to build a team in the new location then announce the move in advance. It will be a shock either way.

Helped me get started with API design in my early career. Learning from other existing APIs helps too. such as stripe, github, shopify. Any others?

Something that We do at my current job:

* set a standard and stick with it. tweak it if needed. we even have naming standard on some of the json key. for example, use XXX_count for counting. when it doesn't make sense, use total_XXX.

* Document your API, we use postman and code review API changes too.
