You are right re: kermits/commits.

They are referring to a cover of once in a lifetime performed by Kermit the frog snd the muppets.

And you may find yourself overlooking a pun

> That whole Speaking In Tongues album is quite good. Definitely my favorite TH album. Great name for an album and very attractive cover art.

Byrne is featured singing on an Arcade Fire B side of the same name, which as a fan of both I find surreal to hear singing together. His part is towards the end of the song.

I’m 69 years old and listen mostly to mother goose books on tape

I’m convinced that this is one of the greatest songs written to date. Very simple but at the same time deep, and I haven't yet met a person who didn’t like it.

As an aside I read that fela kuti was an influence to eno at the time and I think that can be heard in the repetitive nature of the song, especially in the guitar lines.

Spoiler, DuckDuckNope it's not

What if guns were treated similarly to cars? Mandatory training, License w/ renewals, registration w/ renewals, insurance mandatory, yearly inspection mandatory, etc.

Personally I feel people should be able to defend themselves while at the same time deterred from stockpiling and accessing mass casualty capable arms.

I wish it were possible to use git with government policy. I want to diff the gun laws and health service offerings between a countries a with low gun violence and the usa to look for commonality.

This is an American problem and I find it strange how closed off many Americans are to adopting “best practices” from other countries who have this issue solved.

Both are highly sensitive to latency

Ninjam/jamtaba on the other hand is not

Ooh, do cowsay next!

Sandy hook happened again today.

Naturally there's a blocking cookie warning in front of the article

> Logitech's wireless dongles (which are notoriously bad about both causing and being super-sensitive to 2.4Ghz-spectrum interference).

Really? Been using Logitech devices for years and never had any issue with interference.

I'm convinced that the money saved by not ordering unnecessary things off amazon on a whim more than covers the shipping costs from other ecommerce sites. Although these day many sites offer free 2-day shipping without asking for a yearly subscription fee.

This is what Google has become, install their apps and use their services at your own risk.

Usually I'll learn until I've figured out the reason I started down that path in the first place. And then move on to the next shiny object until something breaks, then learn what I did wrong, fix, and repeat.

I hope this gains traction, real alternative browser options on iOS would be a welcome improvement.

Arguably yes. For example declaring a state of emergency does have knock-on if not immediate consequences.

Came here to mention 'ddrescue' as well.

It's been invaluable as an intuitive tool to recover data from failing disks/drives.

Never thought to use it as a day to day dd, but will give that a try. Thanks for the idea!

Does fd solve the annoying “the order of the command line arguments matters a ton” approach that find uses?

Bought them a round of Ferraris

Sometimes limitations do foster creativity. Drawing a card and following the statement can help put you in a different mindset and try new things. It’s quite effective.

Gross! Just use a fresh tortilla and toast the outside of the wrapped burrito and it will stick together no problem.

I think it will be climate change leading to food and water shortages that trigger the collapse. Or perhaps I should say “new normal” after “new normal”

Looks like we’re boned unless we can dig up a new solution. Mother nature keeps tightening the leash and our water bowl is getting dry.

The main problem I've seen with OKRs in a technical setting is that they haven't accounted for steady state support, or sudden urgent issues.

Both of those make up important work that has to be done in a timeframe shorter than the OKR reporting period.

As a result important work goes untracked, and completeness of KRs are affected since people had to focus on "unexpected" issues instead.

A compounding effect is burnout because a persons OKR workload and review process doesn't accurately reflect the day-to-day work that they did. Heroics are needed to avoid people higher up the management ladder seeing unfinished work under your name.

What have you replaced Spotify with for music discovery? I'm a Spotify user on the fence myself

And helps build a personal network that could possibly help

> First, you notice a friend's post stating that she has accepted her ideal job.

> You continue browsing and see a video of your neighbour enjoying a fantastic tropical vacation.

> And now your cousin has uploaded a before and after photo that makes you want to hide your thighs for the rest of your life.

Sorry to say, but if a person shares a positive thing that's happened to them, and their "friend" makes that about themself in a negative way, the problem isn't really the delivery mechanism (social media)

My trick is to follow accounts about things that I enjoy and people who are positive.

I simply unfollow accounts if they post toxic or exhausting things. Even if I know them in person (including my sibling, sorry send a text or a postcard!)

Now my feed is full of positive things, close friends, my favorite hobbies and jokes that I enjoy.

Also, only using insta and tiktok is an immediate improvement. Facebook is a cesspool due to it constantly highlighting "friends" comments on random other accounts.
