Nothing.

AI first "hardware."

If the industry had a say, we will be priced out. Look at the nvidia dgx spark. This is going to be the new norm if they have their way.

I had a not great experience with Notes. It was slow and cumbersome. I had become used to Outlook for e-mail, plain simple e-mail. It was fast, light and didn't treat everything as a note. Notes is this heavy app that was slow to load anything with an early 90's aesthetic.

I worked for a large financial (~80,000 employees) that decided to move to Notes from in-house exchange servers well after it was obvious Microsoft had won the productivity wars. Rumor mill suggested it was brought in at the direction of a board member who just so happened to have close interests with IBM.

It set overall productivity back by at least 5 years before executives were forced to make a very decisive and quick move to O365. The reason given were scalability issues, the overwhelming cost of purchasing P-Series hardware (6-digits for one server) by the rack to keep up with demand along with the cost of developers attempting to make something useful for all of the different business needs.

Last I checked they are still stuck with some small, but essential work being diverted through Notes despite the move back to Microsoft.

What are your needs that it would fit? Oracle have you by the database?

Block Communications just closed two papers in Pittsburgh this year. The Post Gazette has been around since 1786. There are fewer and fewer[1] options available and I suspect this is a disturbing trend across many locations.

I'm horrible at reading between the lines, but this just smells of oil related concerns. It's not about a bad leader, it's not about drugs.

Nope to all of this. It’s impossible to get everyone to follow the rules. I also dislike Salesforce and what Slack has become. Less slck if you please.

For me they were always the reasonable choice from a cost, speed, and reliability perspective.

I'd rather not. I like choice. You can disagree with my choice, but isn't it great that you can disagree?

My summer camps were spent buried in the Lone Wolf book series. The smell of the books. Keeping all my fingers at all the choice points so I could cheat my way back to the book end.

The transparency and clarity is something others should attempt to model in my opinion. If a child can understand it, then what does it hurt to be childish in the report? As a professional I wish more would report in like fashion.

Same here, that's what prompted my search. I felt I could get closest with oh-my-posh.

I found https://ohmyposh.dev/ works for me. There’s something about transient prompts that (at the time?) was a problem for starship. There are several other alternatives I’ve tried with meh results.

Truth, but I also argue that I am not addressing the underlying emotional traps that I attempted to escape using tobacco and alcohol. Those same mental/emotional traps just shifted/intensified with my eating. Perhaps it is that simple, but I also feel it’s important to address the root factors, which I haven’t, admittedly.

For me, quitting tobacco was simple, don’t use. Quitting alcohol was simple. Don’t drink. I cannot simply abstain from eating. I can relate to the struggles and feelings from this article.

Like all the other times things came to a head?

Does a framework laptop not meet some of these asks?

Somehow I managed to answer no to all the questions…

Are you OK with Brave using Chromium as their base?

Y'inz folks from Texas forgot about Pixburgh, n'at. We can second-person pluralize all day!

Thanks for the link. I've tried this in the past. I feel no reason to try this with wezterm as what I need is already included.

I'm a long time tmux fan, but I've been dealing with odd issues related to mouse actions. This is somewhere in alacritty, *vim or tmux. So I futzed with all of them, tried different terminals, all while telling myself it couldn't be tmux. So I just ignored it for over a year. I finally went back and gave wezterm a serious try just a few weeks ago and I am very happy to have switched. The mouse issues I was seeing go away. Splitting panes and resizing lots of panes is fast and responsive. It's built in so copying from a vertical split pane doesn't include the other pane like in tmux.

That doesn't make it perfect. Mouse themes are applied inconsistently as I use Gnome on Wayland. It also seems to be a problem when using neovim, but I can't prove it clearly enough to want to file a bug with anyone. Besides, everything I need to do still works and I rarely use the mouse unless I am copying random gobs of text.

I am sticking with wezterm for the moment. I have no reason to leave it at this point and it helped me reduce the complexity of my stack a teeny bit.

It is important to plan your emergency visits as early in the year as possible. That way if you hit your maximum deductibles and maximum out of pocket limits you get free-ish healthcare the rest of the year. Had a bad appendectomy happen in November. The limits reset Jan 1st. Out another $5000 for the second attempt at removal after a surgery to stare at my appendix before deciding a week of hospital stay with IV antibiotics, 4 CT scans to determine when they would feel comfortable removing my appendix (maxed my $12000) family out of pocket.

That Frostburg-Cumberland run is the absolute best part! Makes the long climb to the Eastern Continental Divide worth it.

Love them. Support them. Completed a 6 day bike trip from Pittsburgh to Washington DC on the GAP and C&O trails back in 2012. I would start as early as I could, often breaking trail for the day (wear a bandana and sunglasses or eat spiderwebs all day). Lots of deer and blue herons to hang out with. It was very peaceful and quiet, but I mostly remember green tunnel trails for most of the trip. There are wonderful stops and vistas along the way. As you leave the paw-paw tunnel, one of my favorite views of the valley quickly pass by, the closer you get to Georgetown, the better maintained the C&O is; the more beautiful the trail becomes.

I actually rode the C&O trail a bunch of times in Scouts and with my grandparents as a child. I think these are great for any skill level, including beginners. The biggest advantage for me is the fact there are very few roads you need to ride on. Because they are typically on old railways, or canals, they are usually not steep grades (though don't let somebody tell you "it's only a 6% grade!", because it sucks going uphill for lots of miles).

You can split up the trails in to day, weekend, or week-long trips. Especially on the GAP and C&O there are plenty of camps, towns and stops along the way to support yourself on the way. On my 2012 trip a guy caught up to me and tolerated my slowness for a bit. He was planning to finish the Pgh to DC trip in 3 days.

I've been contemplated riding the Erie Canalway, but my love for biking was ruined a bit with a bad case of achilles tendonitis after my last trip.

I am seriously considering a look at KDE 6. I've kind of settled on Gnome plus some extensions (arc menu and dash to panel) over years, but they don't really give me exactly the feel I want, and the extensions I use may or may not work the way I expect them to at the time Gnome releases.

Every time I look at the release notes for Gnome, I continually find myself either not excited or disappointed in different decisions, additions and removals that were made.

I've tried i3/sway and hyperland recently. The problem is they don't work well with all the applications I need to support (zoom, slack). Gnome typically "just works" and is why I wind up continuing to use it.

…As I golf, swim, garden and woodwork…

I sort of understand it, but dammit, I’m enjoying my life.

I think we exist in a world inundated with chemicals.

Don’t do these activities and I bet you there is some other disease that gets an increased risk.
