I never I realized I was so evil, nor so neutral.

No no you see it's...it's all made of vibrating... energy, no not like that, in a science way! There's particles, but actually they're waves, but of probability but its all energy. What is energy? Uh... work, over time. What's work? Uh... the thing I really better get back to, bye!

You seem like a person who wants to try and do well and be a good manager. So be very careful of burnout, because the constant tension between doing what is right for your team and meeting upper-management expectations can drive you crazy. It did me anyway, which is why I don't manage anymore.

Take regular vacations and actually disconnect from work when you do. Try to do the same for at least 1 or 2 weekends per month. Being organized is important and helps with the job and the burnout, but there's a thin line between "keeping notes in Obsidian keeps me focused" and "my entire 2nd job is now maintaining Jira tickets."

Organization is for you, keep it for you, and don't let your organizing become a part of your "public api" or else it'll become another avenue for status updates that you're obliged to maintain. Turning your notes and private charts into data for upper management is why you compile special reports, just for them.

Ah man, living the dream!

Me who just cook her dinner AND likes to go down for dessert! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I made a static site with Hexo a few years back. I thankfully didn't make any "Get started with Hexo" posts but I did only really use it for a few months. I think that puts me in the cluster with the "switch from Jekyll to Hugo" people. Now it just sits there, absorbing some money every two years for the "personal website tax".

Shame too, I constantly think I need to get back to it. Hexo is nice, popular with Chinese users I think. I don't recall now why I liked it over Jekyll or Hugo, but I've always loved an underdog. Once I got the hang of using it, it was very customizable and fun to work with.

Oh is this why Biden is suddenly cracking down on immigration and wanting to build the wall too? I had assumed it was just blatant appeals to the right.

🤮 (but literally)

Oui

Ah, the classic Ultimatum Game. Economists would say that any amount of money should be acceptable for getting punched in the face, because its better than getting decked for nothing. The vast vast majority of people feel cheated if it isn't a 50/50 split. This is what passes for a "paradox" to economists, who could probably all do with being punched in the face more often.

One world, one gender, one love 💗

I want to upvote the OP for presenting an interesting discussion but downvote them for being wrong. This presents a case for a non-binary voting option.

A singular like button would still only express one portion of my sentiment. A third option could be many things, none are sufficient: a none or 0 or neutral option is effectively not voting, a sideways arrow or maybe state, or mixed state would express indecision or indeterminism rather than mixed feelings.

Therefore, I propose that a second positive-negative axis is required. The addition of these "sideways" arrows allow expressing 2 kinds of sentiment: towards the post content, and towards the poster themselves. I will not specify whether left or right is positive nor will i clarify which axis (x or y) corresponds to which kind of sentiment. I'm sure this undefined behavior will cause no problems.

Here is your composite vote in the new system: ↖️

If there already exists "a binary" then that says there are 2 states. "Non-binary" only means there are not-two-states. This could be unary (there is one kind of thing), trinary (there are now 3 things, the old 2 and new, secret 3rd thing), or really any n-ary set of n distinctly numbered things, so long as there aren't only exactly 2 of them.

I, like most of the millenial lemmings it seems, am not shocked about this. I remember what Dubya said as president, the daily evils. I would have never thought it could get worse and then we got Trump, and I think it all does echoes out from 9/11. If there are future historians, 9/11 is going to be the pivot that this entire century stumbles over, probably leading directly to WW3 any day now.

But when I see articles like this, (in the Atlantic ofc, always this one or the NYT) my nostrils fill up with the smell of consent being manufactured. Has the shadow council decided that we shall war with the Saudis now? With Russia and China just flat-out taking land now, has the US decided to extend it's "protection" more directly over a few strategic areas?

I really enjoyed this game back when, and replayed it a couple of years ago. Very unique RTS mechanics and engine, I'm excited to see this open sourced!

Perimeter had several weird gimmicks. Bases must be built on terrain that has been flattened with a terriforming tool (voxel/heighmap manipulation of the landscape is part of the game.) The titular permiter is an energy shield that you can put up around your entire base. There's also only 3 basic units, but units can be fused together (and separated back out) to make more advanced units on the fly.

The terraforming-as-war approach is neat and I've always been surprised that more games don't try to incorporate similar mechanics. The multi-units are interesting but to me suffer a similar issue as games with many guns but only one kind of ammo. By the time you've decided to switch tactics, you might already be too low on basic units of one type to change into what you need.

I keep my Obsidian notebooks and several source code repos in syncthing and then have them auto-shared between all my computers and my phone. Its been a great system, all my docs I need are readily available on all my devices with almost no delay and no cloud needed. A little advanced configuration to allow local deletes and I also have all my phone photos backed up this way too.

When I travel, I use my laptop and phone on a little travel router, so they're always networked together and syncing files. Definitely saved my butt a few times!

Who the fuck is Steve Jobs?

They're a landlord and very hurt that you would frown at them. Did you even consider the feelings of landlords before you twisted your peasant face into that awful expression?
