To provide some context on this, Bruce Webster worked mainly as a consultant that triaged projects that have missed their targets. Therefore, his definition of the "Dead Sea Effect" probably comes from his almost exclusive experience with failed projects and ineffective teams.

Source: He taught my software engineering class and this blog post was required reading. I think his "thermocline of truth"[1] is one of his more effective metaphors.

Maybe it's ironic, or maybe I am a poor searcher, but I can't find the source code for the app anywhere.

I'm glad they changed the scroll wheel–it was arguably the worst part of the first one. I have had one for a few years, and the mechanical part that determines whether the wheel is free spinning or ratcheting has a tendency to slip over time, making the ratchet less effective until it is all gone. The mouse needs to be opened up every few months to poke the part back down. This is not an uncommon problem and I'm glad the mechanism has been changed.

What's the difference other than being an alpha (2 major versions ahead) and having some nicer default settings?

I recently wrote one of these salary-sharing surveys for my college. Making one survey that is comprehensible and also includes all the different compensation options is HARD. I'm impressed by their ability to do so in this survey.

I'm kinda struggling right now. I'm a few months from graduating with a BS in CS, and I'm scared. Not scared about getting a job (I've had a few internships and have a solid handshake return offer from more than one of them) or “the next step” (kids? house?) independently, just the combination of all those things. How do I find a job that's is within a same commute distance, but also affordable? How do I find a job that will help me afford those “next steps?” How on Earth do people afford a house (I mean, $300,000 is more than 3× my expected salary, and where I am, that barely gets you a townhome)? The uncertainty of the future has really knocked my level of “okay-ness” down to like a two for the past few weeks.

This sound like a use for Rofi[0] and some kind of Todo.txt code that appends to a file

I switched to this format a few months ago and I love it. The file is kept in a Google Drive folder and synced to all my devices. Aditya Bhaskar's Todo.txt for Android app[0] is probably the best app there is for it and is my preferred way of interfacing with it. I haven't gotten the hang of the CLI, and the configuration documentation isn't great. When I use it on a computer I just use a text editor, but it isn't as nice.

The only con I've run into in the few months is that there is no built-in support for re-occurring tasks, but I've moved around that by adding a manual tag like "repeats:every-saturday" or "repeats:last-sunday-of-month" and then changing the due date to that instead of hitting "complete"

TL;DR;

1. > ...experienced early childhood trauma and exposure to violence at a young age... often a precursor to mental health concerns

2. > ...practically every mass shooter we studied had reached an identifiable crisis point in the weeks or months leading up to the shooting.

3. > ...most of the shooters had studied the actions of other shooters and sought validation for their motives.

4. > ...the shooters all had the means to carry out their plans.

I just want to say thank you for your posts on ledger and CLI accounting. I've been trying to port my personal book-keeping from Mint recently and your blog posts have been extremely helpful (even if I have chosen beancount over ledger/hledger because I was struggling with the Haskell ecosystem).

Notion does have Latex math (called "math equation") blocks
