Orb: on the movements of the Earth

It's on Netflix. So underrated.

And Blue Period, also on Netflix.

That is not as important as if they want to win.

This is also very true in the presales engagements by top consulting firms under "Digital Transformation". These presales teams would come and show, on paper, how great they are with the agile practices, devops, microservices, you name it.

However, it's a totally opposite story during the actual implementations. I've witnessed that it took a top consulting firm 4 months to provision a sandbox environment while being 1 month away from the first release. When asked about their proud DevOps practices, you'd hear excuses that are in the blatant lie territory. They knew they could get by by managing the stakeholders instead of really doing what they had promised.

Nope, you have to map them but they are very easy to do. You can use the suggested keymaps from nvim-lsp GitHub too (still need to copy pasta).

Remapping a combination of the windows key + another key like a backspace to Caplock gets the job done for me. Even shift + caplock would also solve the problem

I learn and I get more confident. People from my previous job looked down on me due to many reasons. I get excited that I have more capability to prove them wrong or be better than them day by day.

I think meanings come from within and not really from jobs. All jobs have dreadful parts associated with them. You have to find your own meaning.

For me, I'm driven by rage :P.

I think the main issue I have is with the name.

3 is implied to be better and replacing 2. I'm not sure if the future we are heading to is actually that way but the name kinda led people to believe it is.

Don't teach him 'sudo' just yet :D

Same for Thailand. News channels have evolved (in a bad way) to cover what the celebrities posted on FB or IG the day before.

Maybe it's going to be like KFC where it's well alive and lively in countries outside of the US.

I think Jordan Peterson said it that in order to have attention (to me this translates to focus) is to choose your sacrifices.

Your plate is limited, even your brain can deal with just a few things at a time (4 i think from most researches).

I guess you have to mindfully and aggressively say no to certain things or ideas, but that is never easy.

I would seriously warn you that if you have to quit it later, you will not find it fun at all. Actually it was a nightmare for me because I did it cold turkey, but from what I read people who tapered off also found it quite difficult. You can expect to totally lose productivity at least for a whole week.

Also when you're off it even a day, hypersomnia is guaranteed. You're going to be sleeping 16+ hours a day.

HN for me is also a form of social media, especially if you find yourself checking it all the time.

It's a quite effortful dish to make. Ducks here are not easy to find and not fresh, usually frozen. After defrosting, they will have to properly roast it while in Thailand, you can source good roasted ducks from somewhere else. I also suspect that they use canned red curry instead of making it themselves.

If you have some expat Thai friends, they would sometimes make it. Befriend these people! Some good food would drop from time to time.

It's really nobody. That's the sad part. Also, like most Asian cultures, some recipes are kept secret and only passed down in the family, if ever at all. Knowledge like this is a competitive advantage, sometimes even in the same family.

Can agree but after spending some time learning thai dishes, there are a lot that are really not that healthy. There's a lot of sugar in dishes to offset the bitterness of fish sauce and other ingredients.

As a Thai, I can confirm this. Not really to offset, but make the dish more flavorful. They sometimes use a lot of palm sugar, but... maybe that's a tad healthier than cane.

That's because 98% of Thai restaurants in Thailand are not artisanal like Japanese or Italian. Most Thai restaurants there are family style, mass-produced ones. There is no even a formal recipe for a Thai dish. The most popular ones among people are more like taverns than classy restaurants, which are common elsewhere in the world.

The upper class citizens would find Western or Japanese food palatable so the market for really well made Thai food is limited. Because Nahm is owned by a westerner, who really dedicates himself perfecting the traditional Thai recipes (rumors say he went to study the old Thai recipes transcripted on leaf scrolls) is phenomenal. Only the elites of the society would be able to afford to eat there. It was possible for a guy of that profile, but would be really hard for a lay Thai person to have a business like that. To most Thai people, catering to students and the teenagers have proven far more profitable.

Padthai was newly developed in the past century as an internationalized quick dish and to unite people from different cultures: Chinese, Laotian, Indian, etc.

I did hear that the government in early 2000s did try to promote Thai cultures, but I highly doubt it's still being continued as it was ousted in 2006 while many people from the cabinet were branded as evils/enemies.

About the ingredients, that's so true. One notably example is most if not all Thai basil dishes aren't actually cooked with Thai basil leaves; they're cooked with holy basil leaves (in Thai, Thai basil leaves aren't even called basil). Holy basil leaves are in fact considered a rare item to be found in the states as most Asian markets don't carry them. Some Thai restaurants would sell them at a really high price like $8 for what you would buy $1 Thai basil leaves at an Asian market.

As for restaurants, it's kind of a trend, sometimes a social status, for a person to have graduated in a developed country. While studying, they usually work at these Thai restaurants to earn pocket money and also socialize with the local Thai community. I would attribute the growth of Thai restaurants in the US to the fact that these students find it easier to earn much more money than having to work in the field they have studied for their whole life, or to a Thai housewife who finds a business opportunity - the same food they cook in Thailand can be sold for 6+ times more in the US (a papaya salad is sold at around $1 and the companion sticky rice is around 30 cents). Most dishes sold here are also considered easy dishes, meaning can be cooked quickly or without much effort. A larb dish is a quicky, but compare that to layered pandan desert... that takes hours while sold for 50 cents on the street in Bangkok.

A tip from me, if you want cheap authentic Thai food, go to your local Thai temple on the weekend. The cooks usually bring their fresh cooked Thai food as offerings to the monks at lunch time. It's kinda Thai thing. Once the monks take parts of the offerings, the remaining food will be shared. You're expected to donate or participate during the prayer, but after that, we're talking about good Thai buffet here lol. $10 or $15 is already considered a lot for donation. If you're new, just tell you're interested in the rituals. Most of them are friendly and will try to guide you all the way through. You'll likely be fed as they want you to try their home dish.

I'm sad... I used like their slogan Don't be evil. Now it's like when Napoleon the pig in Animal Farm relabels it to 4 legs are good, but 2 legs are better.

I think mostly they're forced to use Windows server because of their proprietary software like outlook, active directory, iis etc.

It was maybe easier to find people to support Windows servers... Just click here here and here to install.

As a Thai person, the cooks know that if they have non Thai guests, especially "Farangs", they need to tone down their spicyness. You have to insist them or bring a local to have them make it hot.

You actually do. They're mostly old generations

Absolutely, the first argument is always the country is "free" (Thai means free) because of their heroic ancestors in the past. The freedom in this case means never being colonized by other countries. The irony is we have never been freed from them,and all the propagandas are made so that we must feel indebted. There's a song playing every Dec 5 whole day on almost every street saying our value is less than a speck of dust under their feet. Your kids are taught to sing these kind a songs every day as well in some schools.

Secondly you are not taught to question, and rather criticized for questioning. Not sure if any of you have been in a class with a Thai student, but I bet they all are quiet. In a family, you must never question your parents or you will be punished. These royal families (plural because there are many) have a pronoun like your royal father mother etc, so know your place.

3rd, they are very coupled to religious institutions and it's like a heresy to even talk about them. Any bad happened to those anti monarchy people are believed to have conducted bad karmas. It's stupid, but there are many stations that would revere them as the reincarnation of the Buddha.

Last for now but there are more, they have high influence on the military and Thai conglomerates. The king even has his own unit, brainwashed to just serve him. Thai conglomerates will marry their children with the royal families just to gain more power and respect.

There are more but gotta get back to work now.
