Thanks! I'll look into this.

Wish I could configure pfSense via API or config files.

I've had a pretty good experience setting up a launcher of some kind that can fuzzy find from my open programs/windows. super+space "fi" to pull up my open Firefox. On MacOS I have super+tab bring up Alfred with a fuzzy find through my open tabs. I need to get around to figuring out something similar for my Linux DE.

I'm reminded of this proposal project done with Portal 2 that Valve actually assisted with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8SdYz7cq04

It looks like Hugo also has native .org file support. Does ox-hugo provide functionality over Hugo’s native org file parsing?

I think it might go beyond two intelligences. For instance, there are 500 million neurons that independently govern the gut - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enteric_nervous_system

For reference, a cat has ~200 million neurons in its brain - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_intelligence

Perhaps we have dozens of intelligences, with varying degrees of cognition? What is actually happening when the amygdala takes over the nervous system to avoid a car accident before you are aware what is happening? What is really going on with Tourette syndrome?

Might the human gut have its own hopes and dreams?

The way I did it was by not using it for my entire workflow right away. The trojan horse for me was org-mode. Doom Emacs got me started in what felt to be a more modern UX, and I used org-mode not for coding outright, but for note taking and personal project management. After a while, I started to use org-mode's built in ability to run code via org-babel to experiment with ideas in code. Eventually I was comfortable enough that I just started using it to code some times instead of VS Code, because I was already there. I still dual-use VS Code and Emacs because VS Code is still better at some things (working with files on remote server is still kinda slow via TRAMP some times) but I'm about 85% in Emacs now, since I like it better for text traversal, org-mode has become more integrated into my workflow with things like tangle, and I like magit better than VS Code's built-in git interface.

In case helpful, select the app on the task bar and use Shift+Win+Left/Right arrow key to move it between monitors without needing to do the IKVM dance

Misophonia is a real thing that is genuinely difficult to deal with for those of us who have it.

Fellow ADHDer here. That issue with eating noises is called misophonia. Check out the subreddit.

What happens when the Sinology dies? Do I have to buy another Synology to mount my array again? Does it have to be the same model, or family of models?

I use yabai without disabling sip. You get most of the features. It's the first tiling WM I've used, so it's possible I'm missing something critical without disabling sip, but so far I'm quite happy with it despite whatever features are missing. ymmv, of course.

I suspect it'd be easier to set up a more robust DOOM Emacs inside WSL than native Windows (which the DOOM docs advise is somewhat unadvised), and the GUI version fo Emacs provides some features the CLI version doesn't have.

Except for Overwatch.

If you're an average user and your phone is spontaneously rebooting, you probably think to replace it even more.

We're told from an early age that we need to be college educated to be economically viable in the world of today and tomorrow. This may or may not be true, but public schools put a non-trivial amount of effort into convincing us it is. Most of us need loans to go to college. To me, this feels like a form of coercion to enter the credit system, either by way of economic realities, or heavy marketing to young people who are not equipped to defend against it.

I use a lot of different platforms, and Safari only runs on a couple of them. Firefox lets me sync bookmarks, settings and extensions across all of them.

Does this mean we're close to WireGuard being viable as a pfSense package?

I am not well versed in the theories on this, but as I understand it things like carbon credits are designed deal with the issue of externalities.

Right now, costs of goods do not reflect reality. For example, if a company pollutes a river to save money on producing some widget, people still pay money in the form of lowered property value, future cleanup efforts, medical expenses, etc. Just not neccissarily the people who purchased the artificially cheap widget. If the company can't externalize costs because they still have to pay for polluting, the increased cost is reflected in the price of the widget and market forces will lower the demand, reducing overall pollution caused by widget production. Perhaps even invalidating some problematic business models.

That's my understanding anyway.

Except in the case that the device will not accept the build without the user's passcode, right?

Cool. My dad has been in the hospital a fair bit lately. I'll just tell them to Facetime me from now on if they need to reach me.

I have an associates degree in an unrelated field.

For work, I implemented and maintain part of the CI/CD pipeline (AWS Code Pipeline configuration, pretty simple), spin up and maintain AWS infrastructure, hack on the cloud formation templates and our internal build scripts, and do a portion of the helpdesk admin work for some of our large clients. Troubleshoot individual nodes. I work remotely in a small town in the US with a relatively mid-low cost of living.

I make 67k/year. I feel like my needs are met. My work/life balance is great as no one gives me any crap for sticking to a regular work day. I'm not supporting a family or anything. I'm able to contribute 15% to 401k. Otherwise, I'm not quite paycheck to paycheck, but close.

Looking at some of your salaries, I feel envious. I'm not sure my skill set demands more but maybe it does? I don't know if I should feel underpaid. I also don't want big heavy golden handcuffs.

Can a web app running in a web browser even do push-to-talk voice communication when the browser doesn't have focus, like Discord's Electron app can?

There was a big HN thread yesterday about how the internet isn't weird anymore, and yet here we are.

While not as in-depth, this is a fun analysis of Windwaker's graphics techniques done via observation and and emulator. https://polycount.com/discussion/104415/zelda-wind-waker-tec... If a PC port of RDR2 never happens, an analysis may still be possible. We may just have to wait a long time.

I think the thing that makes Fortnite a game changer in this space is its ubiquity. It's free and cross-play on almost every platform, from phones to high end gaming PCs, and almost every console in-between.

I know Aaron. I find it highly unlikely this is an ad.
