It's malinformation—true but inconvenient for the ruling class and therefore to be suppressed.

I still haven't forgiven Apple for killing off Aperture.

To date nothing has come close to Aperture's seamless blending of image organizing, editing, and metadata enrichment. I'm not holding my breath that an app that feels like DarkSky will ever come along.

We moved into a new house seven years ago and turned half the basement into a home gym to combine with working from home. During the week, I'll stretch for 5–10 minutes after waking up, do ~20 minutes of light exercise at lunch, and more serious exercise after work (could be a bike ride, kettlebell/bodyweight exercises, running, etc.). After-work exercise varies depending on energy/recovery. Getting a standing desk was also a nice addition. Weekends we'll go for a longer bike ride one day and do something outside but lower intensity the other.

Next you're going to claim that non-dischargeable student loans drive up the price of higher education in the US. Crazy talk!

Coming from remote development Emacs TRAMP, vscode + remote-ssh mercifully removed the cognitive load of dealing with Emacs. Not only do you not have to manually install & configure everything, vscode will tell you what you need and give you a working installation automatically.

The value of crypto is the access to the underlying network, which lets the users of that network transfer a known supply of tokens in a manner that's not forgeable, repudiable, confiscable, etc. or reliant on the permission of outside authorities. Final settlement takes an hour. It's worth whatever people will pay for that access.

Crypto isn't a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme is form of fraud where funds from recent investors are used to pay (fictitious) profits to earlier investors. Say the ringleader claims a 10% profit. An early investor had deposited $100 and wants their $100. The ringleader had blown that investor's $100 on coke and hookers and gives him $110 from new investors.

Crypto is more accurately a pyramid scheme. But then so are precious metals and fiat currency.

It will stick if people refuse to go back to offices. I started working 100% from home nearly seven years ago and wouldn't take a job that involved commuting unless an astronomical amount of money was delivered up front. Simply no comparison in terms of quality of life.

Know if there a way to access these tips from the iPhone/iPad app?

Or they know that responding via SMS only encourages the use of a messaging system whose time has past.

A horror show mentally reconciling its one-based indexing with the zero-based indexing you're used to in Python.

The use of a zero is admittedly a relatively new concept, and it may not catch on.
