coparenting is a thing. thats why they made the app.

as someone with a pre-existing condition (that I didn't ask for), Obamacare was such a huge relief. Before I got into tech I was teaching guitar lessons and really enjoying things. My condition requires more than a once a year physical and my specialist got on me about not having health insurance because we weren't able to get the full panel of bloodwork done. I was routinely denied healthcare because of the condition. I had to pivot into tech as it was one of the few paths available that gave me health insurance. As you said its not perfect but its so much better than what we had prior to Obamacare becoming law.

The cost of living has significantly outpaced salary growth. And given how quick companies are to do layoffs, even when things are going well; makes people a little less confident in a job switch. And that doesn't even account for the current state of the market which is brutal. I saw a thing the other day that said people can't even really budget for groceries because the costs are changing drastically week to week. You arent going to get a new job and feel the effects of (hopefully) the larger paycheck as quick as prices can and will change currently.

I think about this a lot actually. I was playing No Man's Sky this weekend, hoping between galaxy's and was thinking about how we aren't even on a path to making something like that possible. I think the show "For All Mankind" kind of gives us a glimpse if we (I am an American) didn't run out of ambition and had competition to build it. But since everything is/was government funded, it's all very precarious.

A lot of what is being built now is because it's what can be funded, and in turn make a profit for the funders. Here is something I'd love to see that I dont think has the ROI yet to attract the money but solar panels over parking lots. Parking lots are ugly, so who cares if you make them uglier; they aren't often shaded so little tree cover to contend with, and there is _so_ much of it around America. A step towards the future would be to get companies and cities on board with putting up solar panels over parking lots. It creates shade, harnesses energy, and puts a massive space to better use. That feels like its would be a solid step into the future. If this is proven to be successful, like I think it would be, then who knows what the next step would be.

they probably used a magnifying glass to help read.

Pythons in SW Florida are found to have dangerously high levels of mercury[0] so it may not be as perfectly good as hoped for.

why not?

Arc at work, Safari at home.

I don't think thats on the table right now. Good to have a cut over plan, but I wouldn't stress it right now. It appears the Canadians are aiming their efforts at hurting "red" states, and AWS is based in a "blue" state that tends to fly under the radar.

YNAB generally gets mentioned as one of the de factor budgeting options. I used it a lot a few years ago and it works. Their system is a little wonky if you aren't used to the envelope method but they have great docs, a great little podcast and a healthy community.

I would put this up there with Dark Mode. I want your product to work, I could care less about dark mode, light mode, keyboard shortcuts or anything else.

have you met congress? they can barely agree on anything so getting more funding for National Parks is an uphill battle.

Sure I am lonely, but going to an office isn't it. We need more third places that aren't work and home. In Nashville, the options are bars (which if you don't drink that's a bummer) and that's about it. Coffee shops are all closing up at 6pm and same with places like bookshops and other places where hobbies can grow like outdoor equipment shops, bike shops, and other things.

the current mayor of Nashville, TN is a software architect (took a sabbatical to run for office, was a 2 term city council member).

Build APIs You Wont Hate - Phil Sturgeon.

they aren't curated from one source, they are curated by one source. This site curates from various left, right, and center leaning news sources so you can get a fuller picture.

he also body slammed a reporter, so lets not give him too much credit

Mark Denney and Nick Page are two I really enjoy lately. Both do nature photography and I personally love their style and the stuff they try to teach.

his "get out of debt" advice is fine, his investment advice is pretty terrible.

also he is just a terrible person all around. One of his antics bringing a loaded gun to an all hands.

yes its awesome to have my work merged, even though Im not supposed to be doing a lot of coding. But what is equally awesome is when the junior developer who I manage does the implementation work I laid out and gets her PR merged. Even better if it can get through with her defending all of the choices she made (even if we pair on it) versus coming to me to help in the comments.

It wasn't during college (I dropped out) but in 2020 I did the audio version of "How To Win Friends and Influence People" which had a profound impact on how I handled day to day conversations.

A few others:

The Simple Path to Wealth - JL Collins (changed my entire investment strategy)

Breath - James Nestor (something so routine but there is so much to learn)

A Short History of Everything - Bill Bryson (silly, but its a pretty large and encompassing look at various parts of life from the galaxy to the planet to cells)

for the lulz

openapi.tools has a list, however I havent found anything like Stoplight

"How To Listen to Jazz" is phenomenal. I picked it up on a whim, not even knowing who Ted Gioia is but I've loved it so far. Its opened me up to some new tunes I didn't know about.

I've been off Facebook for about 2 years now and I've not seen any damage to my social life. Maybe its because I had a robust handful of hobbies that helped me make friends in the wild or something else I don't know but it sounds more like a problem you need to solve, not rely on social media.

wasn't WW1 supposed to be the "last war"? and then again with WW2?

>Meh. We've set up a deconfliction hotline with Russia so we don't start WW3.

So far Russia has shown they don't care. They will take this war as far as they can, to make the casualties they have already sustained "worth it". A deconfliction hotline is only as good as the parties on either end and Putin isn't exactly arguing or negotiating in good faith.

Unfortunately, yea we do. Now that more people are working from home the lines between work and not work are incredibly blurred. Add the increased connectivity we all have (email/slack/teams/etc on phones, laptops as work computers), it is essential we build good and meaningful habits of rest.

in the PHP community, it has somewhat started. Longhorn PHP was a few weeks ago with an in person event and virtual option.

huge plus one there.
