strongly encouraged for me means my entire bonus is tied to skilling up with LLMs.

“cite-or-stop” with journaling, role definitions, subagents to control context windows, and shifting as much of the work as possible to deterministic scripts has yieled pretty high-quality results.

Expensive af though. Like the self-review skill I maintain before engineers put their code up for human review will find 30-40 things on average, where only a small handful are false positives, can burn 10% of a $20/mo plan’s utilization in a single run on a moderately sized PR. The default one my company setup in our source control usually finds 1-5 things and only 0-2 are of any value.

Pandas/Polars is all I need in a Jupyter notebook to replace Excel. Its not even a contest if you know some python for doing any real work.

I concede Excel has a lower bearer to entry for teams composed of mixed technical abilities.

Pebble Time 2.

Mostly sleep and step counting. Media controls on occasion. Just got it so not had a chance to customize it much yet.

Coming from, in order: Garmin Vivoactive 5, 4, 3, 2, Pebble Time, Pebble OG.

Preferred the healthstats on the Garmin out of the box. Great indicator if I’m getting sick based on its measurements or if I’m not being as active as I should be.

Sleep it off in a coffin like a vampire? They didn’t say you could starve.

Additional issues I’ve not seen mentioned:

• Ticketing systems have been an issue for me. I don’t do sports but went to a MLB game for a friend’s group event and it was hell. No paper ticket and can’t have someone show the ticket on your behalf from their phone. One ticket per phone. With sandboxed GPS the app didn’t show in the Play Store. Had to sideload. I probably could have used Aurora in retrospect but used Universal Installer from f-droid and a mirrored APK. Then had to disable exploit protections and VPN before I could get access to a ticket. Its random situations like this, while infrequent, it can get frustrating.
• Managed work profiles. Work apps usually require GPS but the allow list of installable apps don’t include GPS (why would it, its available at the system level). So I can’t install or use any apps for work. I honestly prefer it this way, they can give me a work phone.

I think this is a feature, not a bug. You assume the risk in exchange for some privacy assuming you don’t deanonymize yourself on the return address.

You could print a random letter or graphic(s), preferably on heavier paper

I was expecting this at the first half of the sentence: https://27bslash6.com/overdue.html

Items are in a hash table using color/material type/shape as the hashing method optimized for human pattern recognition providing O(1) access. The table is smaller than the number of items causing some collisions. Those items are in a randomly sorted vector. Average case is still around O(1) with an O(n) worst case.

neovim user (inside zellij) and same. More of a full blown IDE than an editor.

Also for the keybind memory impaired like myself:

• https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim
• native which-key in emacs

There is a praise/validation kink for that.

Toooo real. Its like companies have taken the worst of everything and just call it agile. List out every task and estimate them so we have timelines, but don’t actually architect anything as that’s waterfall. Fake waterfall, with fake dates, but fingers will be pointed like they were real commitments, and spend a month doing it for this executive power point instead of fucking off so devs can build the damn thing.

If half your employees aren’t acting the way they do in private, they’re putting on a mask and not being their true selves

But you’re making this point in defense of someone aligning themselves with a group who targets trans, women, and whoever else they can bully not like them for being their true selves… Do you not see the hypocrisy of such a point given the context of the quote?

Pretty snappy. All the gnome APIs are written in C. It doesn’t run on node, it runs on gnome-javascript (gjs) which exposes all the C APIs through JavaScript. If you use the Astal wrappers its pretty painless but using the gnome APIs directly in gjs is a little weird since you have to consider things like memory management.

I have it activate a layer when held where all the other keys are remapped.

I also use a 45% keyboard (https://wilba.tech/jd45) and its done in the keyboard’s firmware (https://qmk.fm/), so I need the extra keys.

I have an older model of the JD45 with a full bottom row.

It is gnome, but https://aylur.github.io/astal/showcases/ is pretty awesome if you’ve done any React development. Pretty much coded up my own desktop environment with typescript and tsx for layout stuff. Lot’s of fun widgets.

Note that I use nixos so pretty much everything is hand picked instead of a prebuilt ready to go environment. Hyprland for the basic desktop, Astal for my desktop shell with widgets, toolbars, etc.
