Seeing some comments claiming that families can be financially devastated by a dead car is awful. We shouldn't need to own a car. There should be equitable transportation options to get around..

No boiling, but I bought a filter after listening to a story about PFAS.

I've been using Sway as my main desktop environment for a few years now. Before that I was very into KDE.

Try out Godot. It uses a really simple language (gdscript), has excellent learning material, and you can make games!

Depends if you want a managed service or not. As stated by others, any Linux vm can do it: Aws ec2, Azure, Digital ocean, etc. Cost won't spiral because you pay a fixed fee for the vm you choose (can be like 5 dollars a month).

The options that can spiral if for some reason your app started being used a lot. But likely these will be pretty much free:

A lot of cloud platforms have some sort of managed container service. Wrap your app in a docker container and pay per 10K API calls for example.

Another option is to use a managed service that handles the runtime for you (AWS Lambda, Google cloud app engine, etc.) These options should have the option for a dotnet core runtime. They can also be really cheap if your app isn't used much.

On Android (maybe iOS)? You can hold down on the space key and drag left and right to move the text cursor. Very useful.

Music for Nine Postcards. Ambient / minimalist music inspired by "the movements of clouds, the shade of a tree in summertime, the sound of rain, the snow in a town." It's a cozy little record 🙂

Creating a silly sig (signature) for a web forum (gimptalk?). I think they had a specific sub forum for sig critique.

I was thinking that might be a thing. Actually kind of poetic. Love it.

Is this the same Chicago that sold all their parking meters to Wall Street making infrastructure changes really difficult because it would cut into parking meter profits?

Story at the end of this great 99pi

I've had useless paired programming sessions and great ones. Definitely depends on the person and the problem.

The CLI and probably other more advanced guis are going to give you the option to:

  • bisect: very useful for debugging. Like definitely check it out.
  • rebase: excellent for clean commits. I use it all the time to squash commits together
  • diff arbitrary branches and commits. Super useful for debugging.
  • cherry pick: useful to apply a commit from a different branch or remote
  • Apply: I use it to pass around patches for things for testing / debugging.

That's just off the top of my head and also stuff that you can learn on the job. Good to know it exists though. I still use a "gui" (fugitive for vim) for simple tasks, like staging files 🙂
