Video is really well done. Will be looking for the next one.

Does an After Dark clone exist for the modern Mac?

The attempted or purported scholarship in this letter is extremely poor. It’s very clear that the author has an agenda and is not really seeking clarification or truth.

Kroger did that very thing last year it was messy.

If you don’t have a really good quality preamp in your interface, the fethead makes making up the gain really well that the sm7b needs. Sooo much gain.

Surprisingly the monoprice 600700 pencil condenser with a hypercardiod capsule works really well for this, and it’s way cheaper than mid range shotguns.

How is the smoothness/precision of the trackpad compared to MBP?

I volunteer to ask the stupid questions sometimes to make it ok for others to. It has really helped, and as a bonus, no one really thinks I’m stupid.

Wow. I had never read the manifesto before. That is incredibly interesting, and actually makes a lot more sense why the Missourians were incensed.

He’s on his way to deliver the Spanish Inquisition!

Thanks for the laughs, Terry!

I used it for trip planning and expenses when I worked at a BigCo. It reminded me a lot of Amex travel.

Every day should be Vim day ;)

Not as much as it used to be. I’ve been in a few distros lately (container distros mostly) that only had nano. I got all “get off my lawn” about it too.

It has taken me a long time to internalize that grief is not a “bad” feeling, but rather just an uncomfortable one. Until I was fully willing to experience it, instead of avoid or ignore it, I was completely unable to move on. Grief is indeed strange.

That gunship read was fascinating!

Technically, yes. But because the word had been misused for so long, it has taken on the meaning of a developer/sysadmin combination role.

The word “irregardless” also got misused long enough that it became acceptable.

irregardless irregardless /ˌɪrɪˈɡɑːdləs / ▸ adverb non-standard regardless: the photographer always says, irregardless of how his subjects are feeling, ‘Smile!’ irregardless, the song is a fine piece of work. – ORIGIN mid 19th century : probably a blend of irrespective and regardless. Irregardless means the same as regardless, but the negative prefix ir- merely duplicates the suffix -less, and is unnecessary. The word dates back to the 19th century, but is regarded as incorrect in standard English.

I’ve often pondered this too. I think it is ok for jobs to exist that aren’t intended to provide a living wage due to the nature of the job, perhaps targeted for seniors in high school, or someone looking to add their very first entry to their resume.

But what happens when those are the only jobs available for someone who _needs_ a living wage? I don’t know the answer.

An example comes to mind of someone who gets caught needing to work two or three of these jobs just to make rent, who doesn’t have time to get educated, because there is no spare time. I would like to think that this is where some outside intervention supplements that persons income so they can devote a few hours a week to learning a trade. In my limited experience with state programs for this, it feels nigh impossible.

2nded. Amazing and engaging book

I really loved the roman numeral chord theory here. Helped me a ton.

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a correct sentence in American English[0]

Native English speaker here, this is my first time ever hearing about phrasal verbs.

After learning French and Spanish (wow there is such a thing as a subjunctive tense?) I started to understand how ridiculous English is, but this? wow.

As far as I know, they don't get any public money[0]. It comes from donations from their membership.

1.85mg/kg injection IM once or twice a month in office, then 200mg sublingual or 80mg intranasal at home twice a week. Improvement has been steady for over a year.

How much pressure are we talking here to blow a windscreen? Enough to rupture an eardrum?

I’ve been on prescribed ketamine for over a year and I can’t even begin to articulate the improvement I’ve made.

If you include telemetry, yes.

DataGrip by Jetbrains is decent. I really like the autocomplete found in the psql client as well. Sublime Text has a few sql plugins that help with code readability.

Use emoji in your slack convos, have regular non work related chats, learn about your colleagues hobbies. Basically, really try to engage in the same types of things you would do in an office, just adjusted for your remote tools.

I have found that if I put in some real effort with interpersonal communications and relationships, the work experience is an order of magnitude better. Then things like code reviews, backlog grooming, etc go a lot smoother.

I tried learning Braille. It’s incredibly difficult, and I’ve only had a handful of times in 10 years where it would have been helpful. In my opinion, screen readers are king. Also, Audible is amazing!

My last job search was very enlightening. Coding tests, phone interviews all went great at several places. Step into an in person interview with a white cane though and everything changes.

I understand it can make people uncomfortable, especially if I’m the first blind person someone interacts with. But, that doesn’t make it any less illegal to pass on me over someone else all else being equal.

I think most hiring managers just aren’t aware of the bias they might bring in to the equation when they encounter a disability for the first few times. Incredibly frustrating though.
