No, but it certainly helps. Alcohol makes me a better listener. A better father. A better husband. A better friend. Less selfish. Less judgmental. More caring and more generous.

I drink cautiously because I know the health risks. I limit myself and most of the time do not drink at all. But I would be lying if I said alcohol doesn’t make me a better person.
It's really weird, non intuitive but once you figure it out, it's great. For example, if you cmd drag something, it puts you back into edit mode. The chevron design system is weird: they need to just mimic the coloring they show in the README.
> Opinionated when it makes life easier.
> Tab character in source code is a compile error.

I don't think I will ever understand this. I get that different people have different preferences and reasons for those preferences, but why deliberately alienate such a large set of potential users? Especially after a statement asserting it's to make life easier? Who's life? The developers who will be using the language? I'm not convinced forcing all users to either type more white space or figure out how to configure their editor to auto convert (some of which may not be able to) is really making life easier. Or is it for the language developers themselves? In which case I'd argue that's probably the wrong thing to be optimizing for, and that it isn't that difficult to support both anyway.

And to be clear, I'm not interested in litigating the tabs vs spaces debate here, or even white space as part of code/syntax. It's this attitude that I'm seeing a lot more in recent years of 'I know better than you how you should do/use _X_ so I'm not going to give you the option'. Obviously not every project out there can be tailorable to every user's every preference, but I wish that when deciding what to accommodate and what not to, it would be done not on one's own myopic perception of the problem space, but on actual limitations and priorities and user needs. And when making a choice that may not be widely popular, be up front about why and how that decision was made. I'm much happier accepting 'not enough dev resources to support the added complexity in the parser' than I am 'tabs are stupid and you're dumb for wanting to use them'.

That it's not required is the fun part, and really is necessary for it to be a good idea at all. See GK Chesterton:

"Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable. Never drink when you are wretched without it, or you will be like the grey-faced gin-drinker in the slum; but drink when you would be happy without it, and you will be like the laughing peasant of Italy. Never drink because you need it, for this is rational drinking, and the way to death and hell. But drink because you do not need it, for this is irrational drinking, and the ancient health of the world."

ChatGPT just told me:

"The 2020 U.S. Presidential election was won by Joe Biden. He received 306 electoral votes compared to Donald Trump's 232 electoral votes. The results were certified by Congress, and Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States on January 20, 2021. The election results were confirmed through multiple recounts and legal challenges, which upheld the integrity and outcome of the election."
My metrics aren't wrong. You just don't agree with them. That's fine.

I dislike this article.

It has some ideas worth discussion but it's wrapped in a thick layer of what seems to be purposeful misunderstand, and misstatements. It lacks crucial context.

> "Turn on" meant go within to activate your neural and genetic equipment. Become sensitive to the many and various levels of consciousness and the specific triggers engaging them. Drugs were one way to accomplish this end. "Tune in" meant interact harmoniously with the world around you—externalize, materialize, express your new internal perspectives. "Drop out" suggested an active, selective, graceful process of detachment from involuntary or unconscious commitments. "Drop Out" meant self-reliance, a discovery of one's singularity, a commitment to mobility, choice, and change. Unhappily, my explanations of this sequence of personal development are often misinterpreted to mean "Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity"
~ T. Leary

That's Leary on his own use of the phrase, and I think this article is continuing this purposeful misinterpretation. Further, the article treats the phrase as if it is synthesis of everything the psychedelic movement stood to offer.

While I'm rather interested in exploring where the psychedelic movement moved from counter-culture to grind-culture, to do so with such hyperbolic statements as

> By contrast, the lifestyle influencers hawking psychedelics today lack the intellectual ambition and the incentive to offer their audiences anything other than another consumption niche.

leaves me feeling the author is more interesting in exploring their own opinions.

Many of those companies fall into the trap of “well, we’d rather a noisy alarm that catches the problem than a silent one that doesn’t.” Both are problems. The former just makes management feel like a problem would be caught be the on-call.
If this is the place to complain about broken patterns in Microsoft software, I wonder if anyone can fix this:

1. Create new office document (Word/PowerPoint/etc) and hit save.

2. No, the default location in OneDrive isn’t right so you click the down arrow to see more.

3. No, none of the other recent locations in the (short) list are right either, so you click “More locations”

4. Now you have to click Browse to see an actual Save As dialog that finally lets you navigate through folders. Even then the actual folders are right down at the bottom of the left hand “tree” pane, below a bunch of virtual folders, below OneDrive (aside: if you navigate “up” from here you get to “Desktop”, but it’s not the same “Desktop” that appears lower down in the list; that one is inside your OneDrive), below Music, Videos (you get no hint as to where these actually are), finally near the bottom there is This PC and Network which you can navigate sanely through. Oh, and right at the bottom there is “Microsoft PowerPoint”, as a save location. You can click on it and try to save a document in there, wherever “Microsoft PowerPoint” is. Just kidding, you are stopped by a dialog box telling you this isn’t a valid location.

Interesting. I’m working on a similar project/idea (?app, I don’t know what to call it, doesn’t matter), about helping patients understand what they need to do for primary prevention. I hadn’t thought of the specific barriers that each group might face.

Set your text editor to trim trailing whitespace on save, then I won't have to filter out your crap from my commits just because I happened to save a change in the same file that was previously saved by your sloppy text editor.

I wholeheartedly endorse this. While we're at it, please set your text editor to ensure that every file ends with a newline character.

When I go fossiling in Florida almost every large find is from the Pleistocene or Holocene, when Florida was not covered by the ocean. Identifying the bone fragments is always a big puzzle that involves a good bit of study and reference books. A fun puzzle for sure, but sometimes you end up with a find that you just can't place. It would be great to have a technique such as ZooMS to positively identify the unidentifiable.

I'm really glad that I've given up alcohol and it improved a lot of things in my life including sleep and anxiety, but it was also one of the single most isolating things I have ever done. I have lost more friends over my not drinking than any politics/life choice/etc. I was not some kind of alcoholic before, it was just very normal for my social circle.

Even for my friends who are still friends, it took them many months to realize it was fine to drink around me and sometimes they still feel awkward about it even though I bring my non-alcoholic alternatives.

Why do you not acknowledge any of the points made? Selling a business is a big deal and an announcement should be made. Not doing so is at best short sided and ignorant.
It indeed works on Mac OS. I have been using SoloKeys with ed25519-sk keys for about three years now. It should be sufficient to run

ssh-keygen -t ed25519-sk

while a FIDO2 key is connected. You may need to touch the key to confirm user presence. (At least SoloKeys do).

If I recall correctly, the SSH binaries provided by Apple don't have built-in support for signing keys, but if you install OpenSSH from Nix, MacPorts, etc., then you don't have to worry about this.

Another thing to be mindful of is that some programs have a very low timeout for waiting on SSH authentication, particularly git. SSH itself will wait quite a long time for user presence when using a signing key, whereas Git requires me to confirm presence within about 5 seconds or else operations fail with a timeout.

A while ago I put together some hammerspoon lua for making cmd-tab go by window instead of by app because that's how my brain works, but it's slower than the native cmd-tab. Are there other similar hidden tricks for Dock.app (which, I presume, is the thing that makes the cmd-tab overlay appear)?

Practically, engineers should never think about something like this because their environment should automatically fix it.

The Internet Might Be Good for Us
Maybe. The last time I ever really drank on a regular basis was my early 20s, circa turn of the century, and I had two best friends from high school, Mike and Lisa. We went out together almost every night at times, definitely every weekend. Club 80s. Some theater in Hollywood that did John Waters double features with a drag show during the intermission. Pre-gaming with $5 1.75 liter bottles of Popov in the parking lot. We really did make some great memories. It's probably still the best time of my entire life and the closest friendships I ever had.

Lisa died in 2016 from alcohol withdrawals. Mike was a speed addict for nearly a decade but eventually recovered.

My wife is an alcoholic, unfortunately. She's been in the ICU twice in the time we've been married, both times for acute vitamin deficiency and liver failure. She told me once on the way to the hospital that she saw a tunnel with a light at the end and our cat floating in it inviting her to come. The ER doc said she would probably have died within a day if I hadn't brought her in. When Lisa died, it was because her roommate was out of town and there was nobody to notice, care, and bring her in. When she was found, she's already been dead for three days.

I don't know that I have a point. Just be careful. Not you specifically, but everyone out there. If you're 50 and successfully practiced moderation for decades, I guess you'll probably be fine. But if you're a teenager trying to make your parties more thrilling, you're flipping a coin with your life. You don't know which person you'll end up being, the one who can stop or the one who can't.
