I've always been a huge Gorillaz fan. Such a good name because a group of gorillas is called a band. They have made some really unique music that is almost a new genre.

I'm very interested in this tooling for one project in particular. However, I don't think you can assign global hotkeys or minimize things to the system tray. At least I haven't found a way through research yet.

I have followed this project for a while and it looks pretty sweet.

We truly live in a boring dystopia. It is insane to think how much money and how many absolutely seething customers this will make and it happens again and again.

I have found soft deletes to be really helpful to preserve historical references and as a simple but reversible enable disable switch.

Sometimes a really destructive delete isn't something you want to do by default.

I have seen them abused and a lot of times queries forget to take the flag into account. Every decision is a trade-off.

Imagine how many times this happened way back when. You had no real way to prove it easily.

I'd say that was the culprit of many people blaming gremlins gnomes and the like.

Meant to say The Martian - Solid new hard sci-fi, very different from the movie.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is a solid one. Heinlein is a classic.

Marrow - A group of people find a Jupiter sized ship of unknown origin and start a galactic cruise with many different species in the far high tech future.

The Stars My Destination

Starship Troopers - very different from the movie, sci-fi classic. Even on the Marines reading list.

Forever War - partially on Earth most in far flung space battles.

The Martian - solid Jew hard sci-fi again very different from the movie

Plenty more but, sadly sci-fi falls under Sturgeon's law.

If you have enough of a bond, I'd have a chat with him. I'd explain that as a smart person and valued member of the team his verbal output would really help. I'd say his perspective would be great to hear more as you know he has the skills to have good judgement. Obviously this would need tailored to the person at hand but, I have had good results with this method.

Ultimately they may never be the most chatty member of the team but some output is far better than none and encourages the contribution to grow.

These kinds of features being so limited annoys me.

Like GoPro can only auto clear a video from your sd card that has been uploaded on the newest model. There is no way that is limited to those devices. But, it probably isn't profitable to even crack open the code for the older models so they don't even consider it. It makes it worse because I'm even paying a subscription for storage.

I've used Replit for love coding interviews when we are talking with candidates. From what I have seen I don't think I would choose to switch to it for a large project. However, it is nice for quick examples of a way for someone to write small chunks of code with no setup.

I'll be honest, while it probably didn't run the whole production system it probably did something important enough to at least get wired internet.

Search for videos tagged by listenable. They have a pretty good handle on what you can skip the video for. One great option is standup comedy, it really breaks up just standard music or podcasts/informational videos.

I've known some people would listen to ASMR to work. I've never been a fan but, really enjoy listening to synthwave and vintage video game music to work.

There is something special about it. I remember seeing it for the first time and it seemed like a movie set because I had watched so many scenes in so many films that were shot there but, never actually laid eyes on it.
