I changed the way I wrote my y's (now very curly) and z's (now crossed) in college while studying math after realizing I was making silly mistakes changing y's to x's and z's to 2's.
I've been using Jekyll for my blog for nearly 10 years now. I also recently wrote a little plugin that uses SQLite, though I'm using it in a minimal way as a vector database rather than storing content in it right now.
> Taxpayers, including active-duty military, with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $79,000 or less in 2023 can likely find an offer from an IRS Free File provider that matches their needs. Some providers also offer free state tax return preparation. Those with an AGI over the limit can still file their return for free using Free File Fillable Forms.
VS Code takes an opinionated view of this with "dev containers". Other IDEs (including JetBrains) have support as well. It's probably worth looking into a little, whether you decide to use them or not, to understand why they made some of the trade-offs they chose. I wrote a little blog post as an intro a while back: https://www.mikekasberg.com/blog/2021/11/06/what-are-dev-con...
Shift-click (on the last photo) to select bulk photos works in the web interface. Not sure you can do all at once but you can probably do hundreds at once.
Same thing happened to me. 10 years ago using Linux on the Desktop was tricky but worth it for me. Now it's almost the opposite, my Linux desktop feels smooth and unobtrusive compared to Windows, and rarely has any problems!

Keep pulling on this thread... pretty soon you'll be writing unit tests!
Crap like this makes my Linux desktop (Gnome on Ubuntu) feel nice in comparison. As the mainstream players have added more bloat/ads/etc (e.g. ads in the start menu) over the last N years, and the Linux desktop has gotten more mature, it really does just feel simple & smooth in comparison.
Not suggesting Linux is for everyone, but if you happen to use it or are thinking about it, it's nice.
I had bumped mine up once before (to 200K) and I just bumped it up again to 600K. But my wife (registered several years ago, like me) was still at 5K, I just bumped hers up too. Wish Bitwarden would force this for anyone still on an old default - particularly given the LastPass compromise we just saw.
The way Snap updates packages caused some problems with Firefox on recent versions of Ubuntu - I wrote a blog about it: https://www.mikekasberg.com/blog/2022/03/21/how-to-fix-firef... Perhaps this update mechanism was part of the solution to some of those problems...
I've found recently that walking into the local Walmart, Costco, or grocery store is a better experience than shopping on Amazon, and I increasingly try to do it instead.
Need a spatula? You could look on Amazon and hope you get something relatively sturdy and that isn't filled with chemicals harmful for cooking/eating. Or, you could walk into a local grocery store or Walmart where they probably have 2 or 3 to choose from, they've already researched and selected the best items to stock, and you can feel and see the item before you buy it. I like to think that if enough people realize Amazon is selling garbage and start doing this more, Amazon will need to respond to consumer demand (or will fail).
Such a simple tool to implement with so much power in certain situations!
