We need foot pedals for Dvorak/QWERTY switching _in charwise situ_ … virtuosos of the finger arts, please stand up. And modes, obvi prose v code.
asking important question, can wha-wha be incorporated? Markdown, are you there?
This guy minimalisms?
I have one named thoughts.txt, and one named notes.txt, to separate daily scrum list vs. random idea or thought list. shortcuts on the desktop and aliases for easy access.
Also started using the notation

Here's an interesting paper: https://www.brookings.edu/research/a-dozen-facts-about-immig...
Immigrants are 4 times more likely than children of native-born parents to have less than a high school degree, but are almost twice as likely to have a doctorate.
Immigrants are much more likely than others to work in construction or service occupations, but children of immigrants work in roughly the same occupations as the children of natives.
Ranked and unranked already exist to address your insight
If you’re actually trying to do anything, and you are diligent, you’re really only competing with 10% of the pool. Now, you just have to beat 50% of your real competitors.
People with enough gumption to upend their lives and leave everything they knew behind for an uncertain future … it's the "right stuff"
In Korean cooking, there is a flavor known as "cool". Think thin, really heated broth, spicy with green pepper spiciness, the more nasal type (as opposed to red spiciness, more tongue prominent)
In Chinese cooking, there is the "numbing" flavor, red sichuan pepper, white pepper, cloves, et al.
Flavor is simply more complex than the headline that there are only four, and _______.

During a recent discussion on this topic, this emerged with regard to "what is AI":
A. System should, without prompting, identify areas of improvement and innovation
B. Automated collection of data and the processing thereof, combined with application towards a concrete goal — does not qualify under A.
C. Part of A. is willing and unwilling discovery and exposure to both benevolent and adversarial environments and operating conditions
It's sad and brilliant how they look the other way while launching Amazon Basics as a trusted brand
Because it is more cost efficient to use other means to the same end (votes)
It's OK, even the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th deviations have their "normies"
"Advertising exists to make you feel bad about yourself, then inserts product as solution"
We could have imposed a similar level of discipline on civilian nuclear power plant operators ... when commercial plants started being built in the US in quantity ... Three Mile Island (...clearly showed inadequacies in the way civilian nuclear plants were operated). The fact that we didn't is a political problem, not a technical or operational problem.
Scaling any operation is going to introduce error. It's exponentially harder to control 1,000 outcomes in a civilian operation than 10 outcomes in a military operation. And when the failure scenario is nuclear debris beyond sovereign borders, it gets dicey.
So the real political problem seems to be, "I don't want to be any part of Chernobyl, USA"
The issue is that failures are catastrophic, and not under your control. And while systems and protocols can be perfectly designed, human administration is the weak link.
What about the touchbar?
I slack them to myself, of course
Persistence is it. Quitting, by definition, takes you out of the potential winners domain.
I like having a static quarterly document, in a super easy to access place. It must be one page max and lay out the "theme" of the quarter and supporting initiatives.
Every team weekly summary email has a link to this document in the footer. Tracker — or whatever you use — has epics et al aligned with this document.
sigh … the original AI koans never seem to get exposure. Lisp based, just deeper. Closer to the metal.
Per-group (URLs that operate within a 10% optimization range) cached css, generated by source tree + crawl + ongoing visit data?
Edit, also pls send me a pony. Optimzations have a few audiences, the primaries of which are the visitor and the developer. Source tree prunes ("developer audience") not addressed in my off-the-cuff pipe dream above
I hold that solar energy is the optimal solution, and consists of 1/ capture, 2/ storage, 3/ transmission
Focus on (1) is great, but (2) is the breaker of chains. Solving (2) at enough efficiency should largely obviate the need for (3). Store and ship massively efficient solid state "batteries" instead of building (ie, owning) transmission infra
Rhymes with "quarterly stock reporting"
Wait, when you supply your data to vendors … do they own rights to that supplication, ergo the data?
OK, what all these tools have not exhibited so far is upstream optimization of source generator, ie scss.
Dream scenario: 1/ run against generated output via url submission, 2/ receive optimized output, 3/ point at source generator tree, 4/ receive suggested source diffs
Lucid dream scenario: point at repository, receive optimized source diff suggestions on a per-file basis
supply chain, rapid tech shift that affects and effects capex, known unknowns and unknown unknowns.
Thank you for the detail :)
Apparently, testing revealed that "Freedom Dividend" polled higher with conservatives than "Universal Basic Income". So, in a ham-fisted wide appeal play, he's rebranded UBI as "The Freedom Dividend"

This brings us to our second point, which is a conjecture that such a move has a sniff of witting or unwitting use as a test candidate, not for serious contention of nomination, but as an indicator of conservative support for such a concept. ("stalking horse")
I love that this has to actually be articulated. To be clear, open source _can_ make money, but it is not _designed_ to make money.
