Chesterton’s framework.

I’m with you here. Further: Even though I disagree with it, “GitHub down, Microsoft bad” is a defensible take, but we’ve seen it ad nauseam at this point.

And it’s great.

In agent-mode mode, IMO, the sweet spot is 2-3 concurrent tasks/sessions. You don’t want to sit waiting for it, but you don’t want to context-switch across more than a couple contexts yourself.

GitHub Copilot with Opus 4.5 as the model is great. I have not tried Claude Code, so maybe I don’t know what I’m missing.

Our problem with modern lego is that the sets are so cool and complex that the kids don’t want to take them apart after they’re built.

The 11yo wants few new sets now because he doesn’t know where he would put them, and declines to swap out his assembled sets.

Saw this post title and immediately thought of Jerry.

Hubber here. This didn’t affect us.

Beloved Milwaukee institution.

Noting down the exact type adds complexity to be honest.

Strongly disagree. Metabolic-syndrome diabetes is so different from autoimmune diabetes that it should really have a different name.

So like dating?

Conspicuously near the Great Lakes (NA)

Everyone’s got a basket of things they can love or hate about this place when they’re in the mood to love or to hate. That’s something to love, I think.

Immediately thought of Monty Burns when I read the title.

It’s not unreasonable. I like Messi as a better suggestion though.

Bananas are amazingly cheap. At least here in the US Midwest. Even the organic ones. They’re my reference for “cheap food”.

Wondered this too. Diabetics are at risk for hypoglycemia because of the insulin they take, not the diabetes itself. Maybe metformin for a prediabetic could have this effect?

It is surely news to some.

Really dig Kenji’s low-stakes YouTube vids. He makes it look easy in a way that ends up actually being easy.

Chef John is a delight. Charming man, straightforward recipes.

Same for my two sons. Wonderful book.

Greetings from Wisconsin, “America’s Dairyland.” We are still here!

Derek Sivers does this and has a section of his site with all his notes: https://sive.rs/book

Great source of interesting reads, too. So some potential prosocial utility there, too.

"which part of this game constitues giving it a 10/10?"

The logic I imagine here: "BotW was approximately 10/10. And this is no worse than BotW."

(YMMV on whether BotW was that good.)

Link to the Past was my Zelda, too. But BotW surpassed it for me, and TotK so far has been "more BotW". I guess I could imagine being disappointed by that, but so far the prevailing feeling is delight. And a wish that I had more time in my schedule to play.

...and it's actually very good.

Puts a different light on "demonstrating impact"

I think it’s generally easier to get a promotion and/or a big raise by hopping. I used to think frequent hops would yield a sketchy history on the resume, but my sense is that it’s becoming less unusual.

+1. Been running this for my 7yo son for several years now. Substantial quality-of-life gains.

40yo here. I turned the subtitles on the help my little kids learn words as they watch. Now I love them. I’ll watch old movies - ones I’ve seen dozens of times - with the subs on and pick up things I never heard before.
