A website that lets you match watches with different straps to get a feel for how it'll look.

Mixing and matching watches with different straps is something that I really enjoy doing. It's not often easy to tell ahead of time whether the combination will work.

Hello! Is this US remote only or global remote?

Nice, I'm going to look into playwright, looks promising.

I've seen a couple of automated test frameworks. I'm not looking to test thou, I'm looking at way I can quickly automate my daily work. There's a healthy overlap between what test frameworks offer and what I want, so that's probably my best starting point.

Been using my ErgodoxEZ for the last 6 years. Fantastic keyboard, great ergonomics, rock solid build quality. Pricy but very worth imo.

If I were buying today, I'd buy a Moonlander, the newer version of the Ergodox.

I use the IdeaVIM plugin. I do "vib" (visual inside braces) to select everything within the parentheses. Added benefit of it works in lots of other places as well (terminal etc).

For Jetbrains IDEs, I've installed the IdeaVIM plugin and that's been a huge boost to productivity. I get the best of both worlds, the IDEs amazing tooling but also VIM's navigation which I find very intuitive.

I do that quite a bit, but I have pots which are 12 inches deep. I want to know when the bottom has dried out.

I agree that watering only when the soil is completely dry is best. It's really hard to tell when that is with large plants thou. I have a massive monstera and a mid sized ficus. I can't pick these up to check their weight. Why are there no smart plant meters? Something I push into the soil and sends me a notification when the soil has completely dried out?

I've used those analog two prong moisture meters, but I'm looking for something that can just sit in the pot permanently..

``` There is a type of flourishing available to a cat that is only rarely available to us. A human is never simply what she is, but is always striving to become something she is, as yet, not. This is the result of a self-image – a conception of herself and what her life should be – which, when unrealised, can occasion frustration and despair. ```

This part of the article jumped out at me. I spent about 5 years of my life on a start-up that eventually failed. I now have a pretty comfy tech job, and definitely earn enough money to be comfortable.

But there is always this restlessness that I feel. I learnt a lot of things in my 5 years, and feel I could do a better job if I were to start another company. I almost feel like those 5 years would be wasted if I don't take what I learnt and put it into my next company.

Would this be Remote Globally or Remote US?

Oh this is very interesting. I'm going to take some reference from this. We're not trying to do the exact same thing, but there's definitely an overlap.

Hi, I've mostly learnt guitar by going through JustinGuitar's excellent videos.

I put this together because I felt I needed a way to jump back to sections that I want to rehearse or reference.

Hope it can be of use to you too, and also happy to hear brutal feedback.
