I can see that this _could_ happen, but I've had the opposite experience; I spend an hour or 2 every day outside exercising, I knock off at a sensible hour to play with the kids, I have lunch with the wife & kids on days that they aren't at school/work.

I do miss the corporate banter a bit, but organise social events with colleagues in the nearest city periodically that helps.

This’d be a great way to hedge against folks like cloudfront aggressively restricting your training scraping too! Endpoints everywhere

Do you have a source for “with very little observer effect”? I don’t know better, it just seems like a big assumption the CPU can emit all this extra stuff without behaving differently.

The showering thing is an urban legend; you can have landlords try and enforce it, but it infringes on your basic right to enjoy your property iirc and is unenforceable.

The glass thing is accurate tho!

As a jujutsu fan, I like to prepare a nice clean commit history for my reviewers to probably ignore. But I kind of assume - there’s _some tool_ we could use - perhaps on top of GitHub - to make stacked reviews not suck, either actually stacked PRs or just incrementally reviewing a nicely divided branch PR. I thought it might be graphite but it seems that needs some whole other tooling _stuff_ on top? Any recommendations ?

Moreover it’s not even possible for us to engage in _honest debate_ about the impact of social media anymore.

Absolutist positions without nuance are the norm, and the folks who control these platforms control to a very large extent the narrative to push surrounding them, both directly through the platforms themselves and indirectly through lobbying and the obscene pool of capital they have siphoned off.

Not op but I also have a varia and feel safer for it. Living in Switzerland, cycle a lot on public curvy roads in the alps. Often I don’t hear someone coming if I’m focusing on something else important - like traffic in the other direction - or I don’t realise there’s actually more than one car about to overtake which the Varia also shows. Generally turning your head around to check is a bit dodgy!

You could use span links for this. The idea is you have a bunch of discrete traces that indicate they are downstream or upstream of some other trace. You’d just have to bend it a bit to work in your probably single process batch executor !

This is great! I wonder how much the presenters country - the Netherlands - has made this easier with the peering. It’s hard for me to imagine just asking big serious networks to patch you in down here in Switzerland is likely to fly.

The generic magic for this is called “dependant types” I believe - generics that can take values as well as types as parameters. Idris supports these

I enjoyed this. It feels obvious doesn’t it ? But - it’s so hard to see anything grassroots changing here for exactly the same reason the apps become attention-gamified - how can some small organically-grown thing compete with the money ?
