My worry is that fees might go through the roof without any other options

I notice it's a double ring, not a single circle. Two concentric chromatic rings, offset. That's not decoration: the outer ring and inner ring are the same field read at a phase offset (looks like a tritone / minor-third rotation). Fault tolerance!

I imagine this was not surprising. This had to have been well-considered by the teams in the first round of pricing. I'm guessing they just didn't want it to be a blocker for release and the implementation is now catching up.

There should be a poison pill for these types of services that give the guy from Pinboard the first right of refusal.

The way my favorite boss told me, it was "don't let `great` be the enemy of `good enough.`"

Thanks for being a crucial part of this crucial part of my life, Tom.

Pretty unrelated, but if you are a developer and don't have a lifetime SDF.org membership, you should.

Dave Kellogg is definitely someone worth listening to.

This seems overly-catastrophizing to me. I don't deny it rings true for many, but I think some of the statements here really depend on your team and company.

A good dev manager would be thrilled to have a senior like you on their team. Rockstars are great, but bedrock employees are better.

The password to the system was "BRIS," the name of the vendor.

Beware dangling modifiers!

I built a failed startups goods website and named it VcSubsidized.com

Is better written as: I built a website named VcSubsidized.com for failed startups goods

A bit of a false dichotomy. But in my own experience, the search is not very semantic. Director of Engineering that builds bridges is pretty different from a Director of Engineering that builds APIs. My experience with LinkedIn job search often conflates such things.

Although they are both forms of environmental modification, light therapy is different than color therapy. Light therapy uses e.g. daylight to boost affect. Color therapy uses e.g. silver paint to prime cognition.

Nature bathing is great. But it turns out that people in hospital beds facing windows recover faster when they face nature. And, in fact, it's not the nature at all! It can be fake and just as effective. In the end, basically, it's the green.

Color therapy or chromotherapy is incorporating specific colors into your environment to evoke desired emotional states. It blows my mind how well this works, and that's why you see peach colored walls in offices.

Light works similarly. Warm vs. cool, etc. You can use light exposure to regulate mood, particularly for conditions like seasonal affective disorder (SAD). All of this is culturally-dependent but it works way better than you'd think.

Here are some of the common color associations:

1. Red Emotions: Energy, passion, excitement, strength, urgency, love, anger, aggression.

Therapeutic Use: Stimulates energy, increases heart rate, and can evoke strong emotions. Often used to combat fatigue or lethargy, but excessive use may lead to overstimulation or agitation.

2. Orange Emotions: Enthusiasm, creativity, warmth, optimism, sociability, joy.

Therapeutic Use: Encourages social interaction, boosts creativity, and uplifts mood. Often used to combat depression or feelings of loneliness.

3. Yellow Emotions: Happiness, clarity, intellect, optimism, caution, anxiety (in excess).

Therapeutic Use: Promotes mental clarity, stimulates the nervous system, and enhances focus. However, too much yellow can lead to feelings of anxiety or frustration.

4. Green Emotions: Balance, harmony, growth, renewal, calmness, peace, envy (in some contexts).

Therapeutic Use: Known for its calming and balancing effects, green is often used to reduce stress and promote relaxation. It is also associated with nature and healing.

5. Blue Emotions: Calmness, serenity, trust, stability, sadness, coldness.

Therapeutic Use: Reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and promotes relaxation. Often used in spaces meant for rest or introspection. Darker shades can evoke feelings of sadness or detachment.

6. Purple Emotions: Spirituality, luxury, creativity, mystery, introspection, wisdom.

Therapeutic Use: Encourages deep thinking, meditation, and spiritual connection. Often used to inspire creativity and self-reflection.

7. Pink Emotions: Love, compassion, nurturing, calmness, playfulness.

Therapeutic Use: Promotes feelings of warmth and comfort. Often used to reduce aggression and create a soothing environment.

8. White Emotions: Purity, clarity, simplicity, peace, emptiness, sterility.

Therapeutic Use: Creates a sense of space and cleanliness. Often used to promote mental clarity and a fresh start.

9. Black Emotions: Power, sophistication, mystery, fear, sadness, protection.

Therapeutic Use: Can evoke feelings of protection and strength but may also lead to feelings of heaviness or depression if overused.

10. Brown Emotions: Stability, reliability, warmth, comfort, dullness.

Therapeutic Use: Grounding and stabilizing, often used to create a sense of security and connection to the earth.

11. Turquoise Emotions: Calmness, clarity, communication, emotional balance.

Therapeutic Use: Combines the calming effects of blue with the rejuvenating qualities of green. Often used to promote emotional balance and clear communication.

12. Gold Emotions: Success, wealth, luxury, wisdom, optimism.

Therapeutic Use: Inspires confidence, abundance, and positivity. Often used to elevate mood and encourage a sense of achievement.

13. Silver Emotions: Modernity, sophistication, intuition, reflection, coldness.

Therapeutic Use: Encourages introspection and clarity of thought. Often used to promote a futuristic or innovative mindset.

14. Gray Emotions: Neutrality, balance, sophistication, boredom, sadness.

Therapeutic Use: Creates a sense of calm and balance but can also evoke feelings of dullness or detachment if overused.

Environmental modification is one of my favorite emotional coping strategies. It.. feels like you're actually doing something! Cleaning up/tidying, "sacred space creation," light and color therapy all work way more effectively than you might believe.

If you're into this, you might enjoy the Opal Hunters show on Max.

Love to see these youths reclaim the word "hacker."

This is true across other domains! If trains are spaced exactly 10 minutes apart and you arrive at a random time, the expected waiting time is 5 minutes, for example.

This touches on the subtle but significant distinction between computer science (CS) as an academic field and programming as a skill or profession. I would say that not all paths to programming emanate from CS. But, practically, I'd say most people who get a degree in CS are not destined to work abstractly for life. Why does this matter to you? Are you worried about committing to a CS degree as a hobbyist programmer?

I use alpine over at sdf.org. I'd love to use this instead.

Congrats kid! It's a fun app incorporating strategic and visual play. The code is well structured and clean.

`onclick` handlers inline are a great way to get going with interactivity. One possible improvement could be to add event listeners dynamically after `load`.

Another challenge might be to move stuff outside of the global namespace, especially variables. For a challenge and possible improvement, see if you can implement a Singleton pattern.

Start practicing now with inline comments. In HTML and in JS. Build that as a good habit early -- it will save you and those around you countless hours in the future.

An interesting viewpoint. And from it, a good example of how failure can be positive -- even when it hurts.

Taking care of yourself means authentic emotional expression and it's crucial to health, as it reduces this internalized stress, helping to maintain both mental and physical well-being.

In The Myth of Normal, Gabor Maté argues that suppressing emotions, particularly anger, can weaken the immune system and lead to chronic illness, including conditions like multiple sclerosis (MS).

Maté explains that repressing anger -- e.g. due to societal or familial pressure to avoid conflict or "be nice" -- creates internal stress, which over time harms the body’s immune response. This chronic stress actually triggers autoimmune disorders, as the immune system starts to attack the body itself.

Crumb is from my small town in CA. During the fires, not so long ago, my mentor kept some of his old journals safe for his family. 10 or so notebooks full of doodles, all in one place. I can only imagine what that was worth! Much more, culturally, to be sure.

Reminds me of the good ol' days of wardriving SF with 14 WRT-54Gs running aircrack-ng in the back of my GTI.

These days our devices do the sniffing for us. Back then unearthing a BSSID felt like discovery! It felt like exploration.

One thing that's really cool is how this differs by culture. Ask a Russian, and you'll get an answer that may diverge from an American.

The 'lost day' occurred because the expedition had been traveling westward, in the same direction as the Sun. As they circled the globe, they were effectively chasing the Sun, which meant that each day was slightly longer than 24 hours. Over the course of their journey, these small increments added up to a full day. Thus, by the time they completed their circumnavigation, they had 'lost' one day compared to those who remained in one location.

I like the concept of chasing the sun. That should be a metaphor.

I would expect just as many hallucinations as "normal" from an OpenAI API endpoint. I agree that knowing the difference between facts and formatted content is good media literacy at any age.
