For context it's sinking at 0.1 cm / year, versus 50 cm / year in Mexico City and 20 cm / year in Jakarta.

My OCaml:

    let foo (x: bar): baz =
      (\* Is this quuxable? *)
      match is_quuxable x with
      | Yes ->
         (* Then, we have to ... \*)

All the OCaml I see in the wild:

    qlet%bind f = 's 't  'a 'b (fun ꙮ -> ꙮ ((<_<')) ꙮ)

You can go 100x faster using SIMD on the CPU, instead of doing the linear algebra by hand, then another order of magnitude or two on the GPU.

There is nothing more frustrating than a status page that lies about the state of an API. Feels like insult + injury. I'd rather they not even have a status page!

Since there is so much criticism here of NordVPN (in general, not for open-sourcing), what are the VPNs that people like?

There is a mindset where each bookmark is an implicit obligation, and they of course pile up faster than you can go back and peruse them to your satisfaction, so this understandably leads to an unpleasant feeling of unfulfillable obligation.

After getting into all the second brain stuff and trying out quite a few ways of organizing this kind of information, I've started to think very carefully about what sort of implicit commitment I'm making when I write something down. I use a system of tags for things I need to look at later in some way, and I almost never tag links, but I often search back through them to find something particular that comes to mind, and I'm glad I store them.

Maybe you would have success reorienting your perspective to feel like "just" bookmarking is enough, such that there's not an implicit responsibility to come back and do something particular with the bookmarks? Or if you want that responsibility, that you can have one kind of bookmark that you're "just" saving, and another kind that you are okay committing to review?

Then it might become clearer just by the size of the folders if you're "assigning" yourself an impossible amount of work.
