it helps to have a good sewing machine - the difference between a poor quality one and e.g. a nice bernina is dramatic. even an old one thats been well maintained will give you many years of reliable use with minimal maintenance, and they're very affordable used

A tick bite in alberta? diagnosed lyme? when? seems very unlikely - there are no recorded cases in the 30+ years of tracking of a case of lyme disease from a bite _in alberta_. All from exposure elsewhere

(not to say that alberta will stay that lucky forever)

Looks interesting!

If I'm reading correctly, the indexing (Context Store) is neutral/unopinionated? How does it select fields for indexing?

Have you done any testing on guided indexing, or metadata layers on top of the data? My experience so far on similar work is that getting data in front of an agent isn't enough context to get useful/reliable answers enough of the time. I.e. _what_ you index, and how you signpost for agents, becomes really important (unless your data is super clean I guess). This does look like a good foundation for that kind of tooling though!

As an aside, do you have any suggestions for "state of the art" reading on safety culture?

Wow thats a name I haven't heard in a long time! I really miss the way tacops 2.2 felt, never did get along with 3.x versions. Was definitely a formative gaming experience for me as well

Your unit mixtures hurt my brain

What does this mean? Is there a list of approved conversation allowed on trails? What difference does it make if they are talking to someone virtually or physically present on the trail?

177ms from west coast of NA, but that is slower than I would have estimated. Other than HN, almost everything else I use regularly feels subjectively way slower, although I've not checked response time.

A plumber with five trucks isn't so much a plumber anymore as a business owner employing five other plumbers.

Congrats! Ordered. Been waiting for a physical copy, being able to scribble notes in the margins and bookmark and flip back and forth by hand just works so much better for me.

I think the big problem here was with Starcraft 2's lack of UMS and chat room focus compared to Brood War. I played competitive 1v1 in both, and anecdotally I spent alot more time in Brood War, and much of that time was socializing, playing casual games, and UMS--largely with friends who didn't play competitively.

This community was completely destroyed by SC2, multiplayer really only appealed to serious competitive players. It sucked unless you only wanted to grind ladder. That community kept the game as a whole alive and acted as a gateway.

Aside from the branding and history problems here, actually kind of surprising its been this long before a mainstream brand came up with a "vetted" crypto miner. Interesting.

Press release is extremely vague, but I read this to be they have implemented their own eth mining client to set up their own pool? Normally miners and pools take a small cut, there is no mention of that here. Surely they are going to do the same? Are they going to cover their own payout transactions, or charge end users?

Its possible this could actually be a bit compelling if they're not taking a cut, although way too late to the party, and ironically their reputation is starting out far worse than anonymously developed miners on popular pools.
