good time to not have a ~/Documents and keep backups encrypted off site

yeah, overall it's a bad idea to not update a browser for an entire year. It's not 2010 anymore.

That's an interesting project.

I'll add to anyone who doesn't already know it, that most people not using something like Pijul probably should be using a noreply email for git commits to prevent the spam, and that GitHub and potentially others already have it:

• your-github-user@users.noreply.github.com

I think for development processes not centered around emails this is a must have.

"... except you, a dog. Because on the internet nobody knows that you're a dog."

so there are no humans on reddit

this probably won't change anything for end-users, but transpiling 1.5M LOC from TS in 5.7s is pretty impressive.

hey, at least it's a --force-with-lease, we're not animals

Plot twist: Dave had cheat sheets for previous projects glued to the ceiling

Quillpad has an interface like Google Keep - which for mobile it's one of the best ones out there IMO. It's also markdown-based, local-first, open source, gluten-free, vegan, etc

sure, you can store the config in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/your-app-name/ (the var usually defaults to ~/.config/).

In two apps, maybe two different phones too, for redundancy.

What does a staff engineer do? Engineers staff?

drops rubber duck

Sounds like it could be published as a PyPI package, then used with uvx or pipx.

and if they want to go fancy and cheap, suggest excel.

I didn't think masturbation needed the advocacy, but here we are.

how didn't I think of that, thanks!

to be fair, that's a talk from 2005, but I can imagine the new article taking longer to read than the app to be created.

in case you loose

I don't bother. Most sites I wouldn't miss at all. There's only half a dozen or so websites that could force me to take any action on my end.

that is an ungodly 40 minute read without much of a takeaway. Here's the AI generated tl;dr

The author recounts a reluctant experience with public speaking, stemming from a past incident where he discussed topics beyond his audience's expectations. Despite initially hesitating, he revives his experience to talk about "Computers in the Movies," drawing parallels between the portrayal of computers in films and real technological advances. The author highlights the impact of movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey and WarGames in depicting computers as both helpers and threats, often reflecting societal fears about technology. He contrasts Hollywood’s dramatizations with today's mundane reality of technology, pointing out how things like email and PowerPoint have subtly influenced our behaviors and thinking, suggesting that our relationship with technology is akin to addiction rather than dependency. Transitioning to modern development practices, the author critiques tools like Visual Studio and features like IntelliSense for shaping, perhaps simplifying, programming methods. Despite these tools' capabilities, he fears they undermine coding skills by promoting faster but potentially less thoughtful programming. Finally, he reflects on the shift from traditional coding, highlighting the value of returning to basic coding tasks to rediscover the joy of pure algorithmic programming, away from the complexity of modern integrated development environments and pre-written frameworks.
