Your pinkie is a perfect fit for your nostril.

One of the things I’ve learned from my favorite psychology professor is that paying attention to my conscience, doing what my gut tells me is the right thing to do, is the most effective treatment for depression I’ve ever found.

I used to be enamored of basically financial success and exploration. Now I most highly value the lack of things nagging at my conscience.

I’m pretty poor, but I’m happy.

I used to make a lot more money making software. During that time, I kept maybe 25% of the promises I made to people professionally. I would very often say “This’ll be done in three weeks” knowing I’d have a better chance of landing this or that contract, also knowing the three weeks was extremely optimistic.

I did that all the time. Very bad character in retrospect. No wonder I was anxious and depressed. Always feeling like some kind of hunted animal. Somehow, I thought of myself as a good person because I lied to myself.

Now I do work where I keep approximately 97% of my promises (I track this). I make less money. Honestly the work I do is easy. But the payoff in terms of my serotonin and dopamine levels is huge. I feel solid. I rarely have trouble getting started with my day.

I’m hoping to take on slightly harder, slightly more meaningful work. But now that I have a taste of being reliable, I never want to go back.

This is very true on codebases as well. There’s always this instinct to underestimate the value of what’s already been built.

On the other hand, being able to re-create momentum when it has completely drained away is an excellent life skill to have.

I sold cabinets for a while, and at the time I lived in a little studio apartment, basically paycheck to paycheck.

People would drop $10-50k to have slightly nicer cabinets. It seemed so trivial to me.

But then again, I would spend $20 on pizza or whatever sometimes so I didn’t have to cook. I’m sure to someone starving, that would seem like a ridiculous use of resources.

It’s a strange feeling interacting regularly with people more wealthy than myself.

I installed a gravitic emitter in my belt that makes it feel like she has to walk uphill to approach me. Let’s see just how much she loves me, and if it’s statistically significant in its difference between how much she loves approaching the cat.

Could have also meant just not working to maintain it. “Let it go” could (foolishly IMO) mean “stop feeding it”.

Calling that advice is like the opposite of a modern fortune cookie.

You’re only permitted to have one primary address. If you want a second address you’ll have to call support.

I ain’t never seen no double negative work like that before

It’s a good question

It sucks when a person has to negotiate under enormous pressure.

I’d say if you get married in a place with alimony, then you do ethically owe your spouse alimony in the case of divorce. Part of the understanding under which the relationship commitments were made.

Even if it is docker it’s still a bash script or something in the container right? Or are people referring to the docker CLI directly changing DNS records somehow?

My best guess is the reason to involve docker would be if you already have a cluster of containers as part of the project. Then you can have a container that does nothing but manage the DNS.

How could it be less than their whole genome? Is more neanderthal dna lost than homo sapiens dna when the two mate somehow?

Robert Kennedy also did quite a bit of rallying on that front. Kennedy’s why I voted for Trump.

Thank you for posting this. I’ve been curious about what he wrote.

Shorter than some git commit messages. I’m a fan.

Enough of this dicking around in the shallows.

Someone needs to implement Minecraft with redstone.

I’m over 40 and want kids. Unfortunately I’m a male so I don’t get to reproduce until someone else decides to carry my child for me.
