Personal/anectodal/non-scientific: having read his book, I understood that in my specific case my wrist pain was psychosomatic in nature and the pain itself could be caused by blood flow restriction. Just being aware of this and what may be causing it (stress, anxiety) helped alleviate the pain. I imagined the veins in my wrist expanding and allowing more blood to flow through it.

slekker··on Show HN: Flake schemas – teaching Nix about your flake outputs
Thanks for the awesome Nix installer and zero-to-nix! If you don't mind my asking: what are your thoughts on tools like Flox (floxdev) or Jetpack.io's Devbox? Do you feel like they are a good approach for sharing dev envs inside a company? And is DetSys working on something similar :^)?
slekker··on Blue-light glasses may not reduce eyestrain from screens, study says
I don’t have this specific brand of glasses, but mines are yellow tinted and although it makes me see the world with a different hue, I notice that when working, my eye is way less strained with them on. I have astigmatism so maybe there’s some correlation there with the dimmed brightness.

slekker··on Metaculus
Sorry for the out of place question but I am really curious: how do you folks make money?
slekker··on If PEP 703 is accepted, Meta can commit three engineer-years to no-GIL CPython

Congratulations Andreas!

One question that might have already popped up: with more and more attention going to Ladybird (in contrast to SerenityOS), how will these sponsorships direct what you do in both projects?

A video auto-started on the page, and I couldn't even find it to stop it.

Not OP but to me it is a bit difficult to read due to the syntax highlighting colours (mainly red and brown)

slekker··on Subreddit Migration Directory
short rant: one thing I dislike about these ActivityPub links is that given it is parsed as an email, you cannot click it. Plus, I have no idea how this “email” translates to the actual URL I am supposed to use.
slekker··on Stop eliminating good candidates by asking them the wrong questions
Use reference checks, like every other industry does.
slekker··on Stop eliminating good candidates by asking them the wrong questions
And yet developers go through the most ludicrous interviewing processes, having to prove time and time again that they have enough technical skills, while having 10 years of experience in their CV :^)

slekker··on The EARN IT bill is back. We've killed it twice, let's do it again
If a bill was rejected it should have some kind of exponential backoff that wouldn't allow it to be brought up, otherwise fatigue ensues and it will pass at some point.
