All coders:

Indent your code for readability. Use tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment.

Lay that shit out. Put it into columns and groupings.

We are humans, not robots. We scan things, we detect patterns and groupings. *All humans do this*. We pre-parse everything we see in 2D, including words and code, before we stream in data sequentially.

Do not do a robot's work for them. Do not be lazy.

I just fixed a bug because I re-formatted "computer code" so it was scannable.

Many software engineers complain about bad product decisions and then skip every opportunity to influence them.

Maybe it's because they don't know how?

If that's you, here are 3 tips on how to partner:

1. Have monthly 1:1s with the product manager. These 1:1s are different than the ones with your manager. Your goal here is to understand what the future roadmap looks like.

“외부의 소리를 완벽히 차단하는 좋은 창호는 적막강산 같은 실내에 익숙해진 우리를 층간 소음에 더더욱 예민해지게 만든다. 편하려고 만든 집에서 우리는 정작 필요한 감각에 무뎌지거나 불필요한 감각에 정신적 소진을 겪는 연약한 ‘생명체’가 되어 간다.”

편리함의 역설, 불편함의 미학

RE: tech.lgbt/@JadedBlueEyes/11596

they edited the clearly LLM-generated-and-human-unread readme to “clarify” that by production-ready matrix server by Cloudflare they meant a proof-of-concept matrix server not endorsed for production use by Cloudflare. They removed all the lines like “// TODO: implement authentication” from the source code without implementing anything

a colorized git diff:

old text in red: A production-grade Matrix home server implementation blablabla Cloudflare 

new text in green: this is a proof of concept Matrix home server implementation blablabla Cloudflare not endorsed

Manchmal ist die Antwort nicht "42", sondern "Nein!"

Nein, wir müssen nicht mehr arbeiten, sondern weniger!

Wir müssen, wenn wir gegen reaktionäre Verzögerer und Weltverschlechterer bestehen wollen, aus deren Definitionshoheit ausbrechen.

Es ergibt keinen Sinn, Teilzeit und Arbeit ganz allgemein unter dem Primat der Wirtschaft zu diskutieren. Es braucht einen Gegenentwurf dessen, was ein gutes Leben ausmacht, dann ist das Spielfeld plötzlich ein völlig anderes und die Quatschlogik der Gegenseite verfängt nicht mehr.
In der Psychologie des Wohlergehens kommen "immer mehr Pröttel anhäufen" und unendliches Wachstum ohne Ziel, schlicht nicht vor.

Wenn es von allem zu viel gibt, nur schlecht verteilt, aber gleichzeitig Freizeit, Freiheit und Beziehungen fehlen, dann ist nicht mehr arbeiten der Ausweg, sondern weniger arbeiten und besser _ver_teilen.

the real luxuries: 
a good night's sleep 
slow mornings 
freedom to choose
time for fun and play 
listening to birds singing 
long walks 
a good book 
favorite home-cooked meal 
colorful sunsets 
ability to freely express yourself 
day naps 
a good conversation

Want to cycle through multiple windows automatically?

1. start screen session with > 1 windows
2a. on another terminal, run "while screen -X next; do sleep 30 ; done"
2b. alternatively, add crontab entry "screen -X next"

Of course, when you have multiple screen sessions, don't forget the session name

20대였을 때 나는 코딩을 좋아했지만, 내 사수를 자처하던 사람들은 하나같이 이런 조언을 해줬음.

코드는 하루 5시간을 초과해서 들여다보지 마라. 그날 구현해야할게 있다면 최대 5시간 안에 끝내고, 그 안에 못끝냈으면 다음날로 넘기고 쳐다보지도 마라.

그래야 너와 네 주변 사람들과 원만하게 지낼 수 있다.

한창 배워야할 때인데 하루 최대 5시간으로 제한해야 한다는 대원칙을 강조하고 있으니 무척이나 답답하기도 했고, 그땐 왜 그래야되는지 전혀 몰랐는데...

시간이 흘러서 이분들이 왜 현자인지를 깨닫게되었다.

The royalty system is broken. Spotify unilaterally changed royalty payment rules to artists.

"Musicians might notice that 87% of tracks now receive the same from Spotify as from Anna's Archive: zero"

"Since April 2024, no track with fewer than a thousand streams a year on Spotify can claim any royalties from the platform. According to music data researchers Luminate, that’s 175.5 million tracks unaccounted to by Spotify, out of a total 202 million."

Wanna get off spotify?
Freegal is offered via libraries, where you can stream 24-7 and download 5 songs a week. There's 2.6 million albums, including the Sony catalog, Black Flag, Husker Du and harder to find compilation albums.
There's also radio.garden, featuring searchable radio stations around the world. Between those two, I'm pretty much sorted for music :)

Trying to give Loops an honest try, but it's just not letting me upload 🥺

Last night I made a post and it didn't appear on our page. The counter showed 1, but that reset back to 0 this morning.

So I check and I see it's a 40 MB upload limit, and what I uploaded was 69(nice) MB 😩 Wish it would have blocked me trying to upload anything larger.

So I've tried again today, working to try and optimise the video. I managed it thanks to a tool called Clop.

Uploaded, waited, still nothing.
