Tangential:

I would love to see more interpreted languages offer shells with native constructs for operating as daily drivers shells (not just REPLs). When I first started learning Ruby I used `rush`[0] as my main shell. Being immersed in the language, even if there were a few helpers for shell operations, really helped me reason better about Ruby and think in the language. `scsh`[1] was enlightening as well. Ultimately the ergonomics of both pushed me back to more conventional variant but they were really helpful learning mechanisms.

3060ti only has 8GB, 3080ti has 12GB. That’ll make a difference for prices/comparison.

I'll bite: 15.5 years tech experience across SRE, SWE, PM, PGM, & strategic initiatives-adjacent things. Last roles was Director/Principal level. Last projects were driving hundreds of millions of dollars worth of portfolio acquisition integrations (successfully) at a $5B public company. NYC metro area but I've been remote for 13 years. No degree, self-taught, first real tech role acquired when I was recruited after hacking a company back in 2010. Laid off in Feb, though garden leave ran through April.

I've had mixed results overall. Primarily looking at senior+ TPM, TPGM, SI roles. My network is hard to leverage due to being remote for so long. Lots of cold applications. 25% of applications got recruiter responses within a day, 25% within a week, 50% blocked at ATS, ghosted, or hiring being re-evaluated. Not as many direct recruiter outreaches as I've received in the past.

From the JD side, salaries seem to be more stratified and requirements, even for lower roles, seems to be higher than before. I've seen quite a few requests for 10+ years experience for mid-level PGM roles. In loose convos with friends, everyone wants a big name on a resume but no longer will pay a premium to get it.

No degree seems to be a bigger gate now than it was the last time I was searching. Being a generalist also seems to be more of a risk but I'm sure that's at least partly a fault in my own framing. I do not play the LinkedIn game well. My major contributions have been either inside a company (internally-focused, hard to share publicly or company-specific), mildly popular open source dev work (>100 stars), or things actually used everywhere but no one cares because it's not "real" dev work (created puppetlabs-firewall module, 10M+ downloads, adopted as part of Puppet Enterprise, used globally, no one cares). Without a strong public profile in a specific direction, I've been told I read as too hard to quantify.

Overall, it seems "bad" in that everyone is battling uncertainty about where things are going and being more vigilant to avoid the wrong hire. Credentials and resume pedigree seem to matter more than ever and roles are much more vertically aligned than I've seen them in the past. If you're good, with some amount of credentials, and a lot of vertical ownership then you'll probably be fine though it might take longer. If you're a generalist who's hard to pin down, you might be in for some pain.

This is probably more common than you think. VMs are expensive, both in resources and cost (if you’re using something commercial). OS-level isolation (shared kernel, cgroups, namespaces) is used pervasively

Oh, I've used some awk too. My favorite (and most ridiculous) application was using the qawk from The AWK Programming Language[0] book to make a flat-file relational database of CSV files. Ultimately I just moved to sqlite but I learned a lot about awk in the process!

I landed on near the same thing. I also went too far the other way at various points: ed as editor, weirder shells (posix sh, rc, es, rush (ruby shell), pdksh), suckless everything (even on MacOS, where possible). I found my healthy balance between using more modern tools and learning the defaults to avoid too much configuration. I still have 281 lines in dotfiles (according to `git ls-files | xargs cat | wc -l`), along with my dwm.tmux[0] as window manager, but I feel like I can generally operate in most environments as long as base tools are present. If others haven't tried it, I recommend giving it a go. Try being bravely default.

I've made a few batches of salmon garum that turned out nicely. Just make sure you use raw and not cooked, as the cooked fats will taste rancid. It tastes different than asian fish sauce or colatura but still of use in similar contexts.

For fish sauce definitely, assuming you also use the guts so you can get the enzymes. If you want to make with a protein source that doesn't have the enzymes present, like mushrooms, you can add them separately. Whole fish just fills the protein and protease slots with a single ingredient.

Homemade garum is a fun kitchen experiment, if you have the equipment and patience. Heat + protease + protein substrate is really all you need.

The National put out a official 'bootleg' recording of two nights of concerts using the Mike "the Mike" Millard method, called Juicy Sonic Magic[0]. Only physically released on triple cassette though I think you can stream it. Sort of tangential to this conversation but it really captures the energy of a live show in a completely different way. Highly recommend checking out if you're a fan of the band, old bootleg recording techniques, or live recordings in general.

Technically TRS only has one ring (Tip Ring Sleeve) and TRRS only has two rings (Tip Ring Ring Sleeve). It does have four separate contacts though, separated by bands.

It's not just configs though, as there is some logic implemented via shell that could not be handled entirely in configs. "Window Manager" was chosen as it the logic imposes a specific layout without necessarily preventing you from using other configuration options. It's almost solely layout management and keyboard shortcuts to assist.

This does have a single floating pane shortcut (in the current directory), using the tmux `display-popup` command.

I think the key distinction is the consistent layout (main pane + stack) along with keyboard shortcuts to manage. To me it's similar to running vanilla X{11,org} vs using a window manager (hence the name). A vanilla configuration will work just fine but sometimes a constrained or opinionated environment gets more out of your way and better fits your preferred workflow.

If you already have a robust tmux workflow with a desired layout (or lack of layout) and custom keyboard shortcuts then this may not work for you. It's just one way to manage panes/windows in tmux that I hadn't seen before and different from the usual ad hoc methods.

Like most window managers, I think it's all preference. What're your current preferences for pane layout, window management, etc? Do you always create/layout panes in the same way or is it situationally dependent?

I went a little too far into 'unix as my IDE'.

Do I regret using `ed` as my primary editor? No.

Do I still use `ed` as my primary editor? Absolutely not.

Through this project I realized that there's just some limitations to a plain tmux config. I eventually had to switch over to calling out to shell in order to get around those issues.

Commit with the switch to shell here: https://github.com/saysjonathan/dwm.tmux/commit/c8752b978390...

I think there's a lot of potential to scripting terminal multiplexers in various ways and I would love to see more work exploring what's possible!

For me, personally, the value was in have something similar to a window manager for the terminal. As I was constantly spawning, killing, and reorganizing panes, a tiling-based approach gave me more control over my terminal and allowed me to perform complex operations without having to memorize or execute multiple commands. My use of a terminal is not static and therefore having a more dynamic option made my life easier.

This is really just a personal project that I wanted to share in case others might like to try it.

I will add that, especially at the time of creation, I was heavily in the 'unix is my IDE' camp. A terminal window manager was a logical next step to that notion. As someone called out below, I even used `ed` as my main editor for a while (which was as bad as it sounds).

As weight and baker's percentage instead of volume:

227g (94.58%) margarine

30g (12.5%) sugar, powdered

240g (100%) flour

5g (2.1%) vanilla (assuming liquid extract)

15g (6.25%) water

200g (83.33%) pecans, pieces

Now I want to see 'Tories' used derisively in modern American politics.

This was helpful in clarifying to me how dangerous Yarvin and those who follow his beliefs are to normal people. As stated in the AMA, he believes everything he says. We have substantial documentation of extreme proposals, including turning the lower class into biodiesel or simply locking them in prisons where they can live out virtual lives. How did we get to the point where a cyberpunk dystopia is our definition of an optimal society? How do you counter a movement funded by the most wealthy and powerful people in the world who solely want to use their influence to exact control without empathy? How to we get to a post-ironic world where we have sincere discussions about improvement and not just troll to create chaos to centralize control?

I’m hoping https://www.albumoftheyear.org/ takes off

If you then delete from the Recently Deleted album it says that the photo “will deleted the selected photos from iCloud and all connected devices”.

Additionally, at least in iOS 17.5, the Recently Deleted album itself has a disclaimer at the bottom that says that “items will be permanently deleted. This may take up to 40 days.”

I’m not Italian but I have two favorite reference books: The Silver Spoon[0] and American Sfoglino[1]

A quick look through Newegg shows 4 AMD AM4 motherboards (B550 and X570) with Thunderbolt (2 TB3, 2 TB4). None have two DP inputs. I didn't see any Intel (LG1200) with two inputs either.

Would you use a Maple Ridge (TB4) card instead of Titan Ridge?

I am impressed with Apple's ability to seamlessly handle all of these scenarios. Their product integration really does create a great experience within their ecosystem. I didn't expect my setup to work perfectly but I'm happy it gets most of the way there. I'm not pulling the trigger on Apple Studio Display but I'll be watching progress to see if it works.

My use case is an outlier, I guess: I'm in the Apple ecosystem for all personal stuff but use a Dell Latitude for work (TB3, GPU chokes on 5k but technically works) and have a beefy Windows desktop for gaming and personal development work in WSL. I love the idea of just plugging a single cable into whatever system I'm using at that moment.

I actually did the exact same thing. Went with the ProArt B550 and didn’t consider that the LG 5k requires two video connections to the graphics card. This[0] eventually helped me realize my mistake. Currently running in 4k and it’s fine. At least camera, speakers, and hub work.

The Hey onboarding today is tied to a website-driven invite and signup process. While that _could_ be a bad customer experience through some lens, what percentage of users following this flow are or will be downloading this app prior to signing up?

In a larger sense, Apple seems to be saying that, at least for consumer apps, they have an expected user flow from launch/beta through purchase. That flow makes Apple the primary channel and pipeline. If you have a multi-channel app (web + app, in this case), they want the main experience through the app regardless of business model or context. This makes the customer experience argument seem like misdirection.

I created some dwm-inspired tmux pane management that works well for me: https://github.com/saysjonathan/dwm.tmux

In a previous life I worked with the Department of Education for a certain state. Their head graphic designer, Fred if I remember correctly, was about 70-something and had Parkinson's. He was able to churn out amazing work using the mouse and Wacom tablet. His wife, who also worked at the DoE, would touch up his work and clean up anything caused by the tremors. Quite an amazing team.

He was also a jazz piano player in private. He created a setup where he used his electric organ as a midi controller in GarageBand. He would record himself playing and, once through, would clean up the extra notes using the note view.

I'm very happy to see technology moving forward to help those whose conditions otherwise prevent or obscure the great things they're capable of!

I came to the same conclusion. I wound up making a small tmux lib for dwm-style pane management: https://github.com/saysjonathan/dwm.tmux

Clearly I'm not Steve, and can't speak to his or the teams goals with the content of the book, but you can find the complete source for the book in the Rust repo[0]. Feel free to send some pulls with the content you'd like to see!
