I think they're expecting a daily problem set like Advent of Code. This is not a set of problems to solve, it's a series with one release per day in December, similar to an Advent calendar.

I feel like I'm missing the context of the sleep(1) debate and reading both points of view they seem like they're arguing for the same side? Would love for someone to cleanly explain both sides to this as I clearly don't quite get it.

I think the point is there are many "startups" with similar revenue and growth to Linear that never become profitable. I don't think Linear qualifies as a small business and I don't think they're scaling less quickly than someone in same market with more funding and less profit.

It wasn't quite monthly but on my radwagon 4 I would change the pads every other month at least. Hauling two kids around SF on a heavy bike plus a little bit of poor design on Rad's part.

Ambigrams can be read right side up and rotated by 180 degrees (sometimes other rotations also exist). Some of the ones here say the same thing when turned, and some say a different, usually related, word or phrase.

It's a little difficult to parse but this is hourly share of transactions. If transactions were evenly spread out over 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, each hour would get about 1.8% of transactions. So a 0.4% change in hourly share for a given hour is quite significant.

And beyond that obvious path the author is only watching for activity while the port is not wet! Obviously it wouldn't phone home every time the port is dry. While I doubt apple is using this to void warranty claims this is about the weakest debunking of that I can imagine.

World Liberty Financial has received $75 million from Chinese crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun. Last week, Trump’s Securities and Exchange Commission, now purged of its Biden-era crypto enforcement team, dropped its fraud case against Sun.

This is not just financial benefit for a voting bloc.

The podcast has been amazing. I started reading along at the beginning but couldn't keep up. It's been great to get such an accessible but in depth look into the book. Fascinating look at tactics and strategies for influence and power along with a ton of history of New York. I would highly recommend it.

Bump it in source to 2.19.4 immediately, and then to 2.20.0 as soon as there is code that requires a minor version bump, then to 3.0.0 as soon as a major version bump is required. Then your version in source is always semver compatible vs by definition being off until you cut the next release as soon as you introduce a breaking change.

We do this by looking at the patch version. For example, current version in source is 2.2.1-alpha0. This means the last bump was a patch version from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1, so if you want a minor bump, then you need to bump to 2.3.0-alpha0. Now that the patch version is 0, it's that someone has already bumped the minor version since the last release, so no need to do so again. This would break down if someone bumps to 2.3.1-alpha0 unnecessarily but otherwise it's immediately obvious looking at the current version in source whether someone has already bumped the minor version.

The commit that changed the version in source is the one to be tagged

I've never understood this practice of not immediately bumping the version in source after a release. We update the version in source to the next logical version (usually a patch bump with an alpha0 pre-release tag) immediately after tagging and publishing a release. This way you just need to look at the version in source to understand where you're at in a release process, and only a single commit has the full release version in source, which is also tagged as such. This doesn't seem to be a common pattern, so shat are the downsides of this approach? Am I missing something?

All that you see is also a representation in your mind formed by your brain. Is everything in your visual field similarly "you"? If not, what makes thoughts different?

I'd go one step further and say that the article's value is also in pointing out that being aware takes practice, you can't just flip a switch and decide to start being aware of your current mental state. You need to pay attention many times to start to connect the dots and be able to recognize the state you're in and the best way to respond.
