AGENTS.md fine but I hope the pattern sticks around. Another way is to use the README.md with different sections for humans or agents. As agent content windows expand to being able to load all the context in a repo, it will not matter much.

I am learning a new layout that does not have xcv in the same place but I fix this by using a layer that keeps the same positions for xcv when holding down cmd/ctrl

https://www.modelmayhem.com/ Might also be an alternative.

I only used it to find camera folks in the past when I was in film/documentary work but I know it’s mainly a modeling site. Haven’t kept up with the industry since 2015 so not sure if still relevant.

This is what I do:

Zero caffeinated drinks. See a sleep doctor at least once a year.

Night routine: Ear plugs. Night eye mask. Mouth guard. zzzquil If I do not feel sleepy by designates sleep time. I budget 9h for sleep.

I hope to teach my kids programming so I started with the older on learning algebra. I have been using the tablet app called dragonbox algebra (which is amazing!). The issue I am facing now is that my kid knows visually/mechanically what to do in the app but they don’t understand why they have to do some things. We have been moving to the whiteboard so they have to translate swipes and taps to regular algebra notation. They literary think in terms of the app. What has helped a lot is to do a problem on the app then do the same problem on the board. Their eyes light up when they see the connection.

I think I will have the same translation dilema if I start with scratch. At some point we will need to get writing textual based code but I am not confident that I can get my kids exited about programming without graphical tools like scratch/dragonbox.

In classroom setting most teachers could not teach the textual form of programming but something like scratch allows kids to explore and build the vocabulary to be able to translate to a textual representation.

"The point is that the concern we should have is not just about the $500,000,000 donated for Haiti for which the good hearted donors received just six $400 shacks. The concern is about billions of donated dollars intended to help people all over the world. The Haiti data demonstrates that for each billion donated to the Red Cross we get a total of 12 each $400 shacks which we wouldn't put our lawn mower in.

The greatest mystery for me is why the major media outlets keep advising well intended Americans to give to the Red Cross. If any of us operated like the Red Cross has for years the media would be screaming for our prosecution as it should. Why not the Red Cross? And worse, why do they encourage hard working and generous Americans to give to an organization about whom there is public knowledge of extreme abuse of billions of donated dollars ?!" - Hotes Foundation

We need more technical details here. Anybody familiar with this? This is so awesome. I've been putting off scanning my baby pictures. Perfect timing since most people go home for the holidays.

This trailer is not that good which makes me feel like the movie is low budget. Too bad. The went too dark and over futuristic. The whole point of the original was that even though people choose to be cyborgs, they still want to be human. The city was still Asian looking. Lots it's lost by making this futuristic. Major never looked Asian to me. Even Lucy looked better than this.

A Udacity nano degree is more like a Graduate Certificate but much much cheaper. What udacity has going for them is that at the end of the nano degree you have projects you can show off. Not all certificate programs will make you have a final project for you portfolio.
