"User reports indicate problems at Amazon Web Services" User reported outage sounds like people confusing the Heroku outage with AWS.

and if this article were about Timnit Gebru, this ad hominem attack would carry more weight.

You can find plenty of other ex-Googlers saying the same thing:

I've been using a Vim clone of Magit for a while with good success: https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit

Not being an eMacs user, I'm not familiar with the feature differences, but the workflow of stage/commit is worth it alone.

I have vivid memories of the demos at Incredible Universe, including an early-stage VR setup. It's also the place I was able to try out crappy consoles like the Atari Jaguar and the 3DO Interactive.

As recently as last week it seems, TriMet's board has been discussing how free fares might work: https://www.oregonlive.com/commuting/2019/12/is-trimet-discu...

I figured I'd see Quinn's name mentioned in the comments. He had a good Twitter thread a bit ago about the easiest things you can do to lower your bill:

Would that be the quick keynote excerpt? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F61GtueelP4

Or their IoT talk? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7oqSTmrfVc

Happy Metropolitan user here too. I bought a couple other inexpensive fountain pens to try them out (Lamy Safari, Pilot Prera Iro-Ai), but I came back to the Metropolitan. The weight and writing-smoothness are outstanding considering how cheap it is.

I use uBlock Origin in advanced mode, which lets you do something similar.

Haven't used it extensively, but blocking the following domains sped things up a little:

- hangouts.google.com - plus.google.com - play.google.com

Yes. He can put actions behind his words, or his reply is just hot air.

Plus, by endorsing it as a Google-sanctioned event, he's effectively taking power away from those walking out from disrupting normal business as usual (e.g., allowing managers to reschedule meetings).

Here's another that I use daily: https://github.com/clvv/fasd

You can even combine that with the aforementioned `fzf`: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/wiki/examples#with-fasd-1

"If a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception. Yes, there are assholes who just don't care, but they're massively outnumbered by the people who do."

(The Martian by Andy Weir)

+1 for Deoplete. As long as you're using NeoVim or a more recent version of Vim (8.0+) with a few plugins, it just works.

You can choose to either vote by mailing your ballot back in the provided, pre-paid envelope, or dropping it off. I usually end up waiting until the last minute and then driving to a nearby public library to drop it off.

Coincidently, 1998 was the first year I could vote, and the first year of vote by mail in Oregon. It's made it super-easy to vote, and I honestly have no idea why other states haven't adopted it across the board.

Ah, that's the kicker. Looks great on my MBP's built-in retina display, but crap on my older external monitors. So far the only font I've been able to use on those without anti-aliasing is Monaco.

Can you detail your Mac setup a bit? I've tried out these fonts, but end up struggling to get the right size, and disabling antialiasing makes things look pretty ugly.

It's not a really long read, and it's worth reading it cover to cover, even if you don't follow its advice to the letter.

That said, essentially:

Keep a daily list of all the next actions you want to accomplish, separated by context (e.g., at work, at home, at grocery store)

Break down large projects into next actions. Identify the next thing you need to do to move it forward.

Review your projects and next actions weekly (or more often) to make sure you're not missing anything.

There's other stuff too, but mostly GTD recommends that you write everything down and review it often. Your lists are a way to offload the stuff in your head, so that you can focus on what's right in front of you and not have that nagging feeling that there's something you forgot to do or something more important you should be doing.

It definitely changed the way I approach my day at work, and I feel like I'm able to accomplish a lot more without feeling exhausted at the end of the week.

Be thankful you have that option. Comcast is the only real broadband provider in my area. My only option to avoid caps would be to switch to a Comcast Business account.

Did you mean "Letters from a Stoic" by Seneca?

quote from "Snowcrash":

“It was, of course, nothing more than sexism, the especially virulent type espoused by male techies who sincerely believe that they are too smart to be sexists.”

There is a pull request to implement this feature: https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements/pull/247

I haven't tried it myself. Honestly it's one of the things keeping me from upgrading to Sierra. Need to test it out first.

Andy's the best thing about Headspace. His voice is encouraging without being judgmental. Definitely one of the main reasons I decided to purchase a subscription.

Yet. There's a pull request in the works that would do just that:

https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements/pull/247

You could build from the latest update and get that functionality.

You're thinking about xcape: https://github.com/alols/xcape.

FYI, Karabiner is incompatible with MacOS Sierra. There's a project (Karabiner-Elements) to replace its (and Seil's) functionality, but I don't believe it has feature parity yet: https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements

That's kind of a deal-breaker for me. I rely on shortcuts with a virtual hyper key that it would be painful to lose it.

I was able to use the code mentioned in this AWS forum post to configure a proxy using node.js: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=218214

Code: https://gist.github.com/nakedible-p/ad95dfb1c16e75af1ad5

Looks like it's been turned into an NPM-installable module too: https://github.com/santthosh/aws-es-kibana

Hugo[0] (static site generator), site hosted with Caddy[1] (go web server with a lot of stuff like auto-SSL from Let's Encrypt for free) running as a Docker container on a DigitalOcean droplet:

Works pretty well, and I like Hugo's lightweight templating formats. I can draft up a new blog article, test it locally, then push to GitHub, which has a webhook to my blog host which does a pull and blam: new content.

"Cringe-worthy"? Hardly. You owe it to yourself to watch it. It's easily one of the best hacker movies.

I've been itching to try Keybase. Mind sending one my way too?
