I've been getting this thing on GitHub lately where none of the CSS renders for about two seconds whenever I load the page. It's not impossible it's a browser issue on my end, but still extremely odd. Whatever they have going on over there is quite a mess. It's a shame, when I used to live in SF, GitHub was THE place to work.

That's funny, last time I checked out the project it _only_ had a dark theme. It's not my project, but I know of the dev from around town. I think the project is just still in development and needs some time for all the features to get fleshed out.

That’s exactly how I would put it. I read his article on Philosophy yesterday at 30 after reading his essays at 20 and admiring him. It’s crazy how impressionable my mind was at 20

I worked at a BigCo after a bunch of small ones, and got totally stressed about the friction as well. Took me a couple years away from the experience to realize that slow processes can be a great thing in their own right because it gives you a lot of time to think about your own interests in and outside of coding.

Hume’s Wikipedia page is really funny where it describes his life post breakdown. He certainly enjoyed the merry life and a good port. I thought it would be a funny idea to do a “day in the life” video following Hume’s lifestyle and just end up stone drunk on port.

Also, there’s a statue of Hume in the center of Edinburgh where he looks emaciated and serious like the ancient philosophers looked, and I’ve always thought it was a funny statue, because it completely gets his character (and stature I’m guessing) wrong.

Thomas Hobbes was in his 60’s when he wrote Leviathan. I think about that a lot when I get discouraged.

I agree with others about the clicks. I weirdly got it on the first guess and thought it would be revealed after. Or more of the squares would be revealed per guess a la wordle

I’m reading The Critique of Pure Reason right now. If anyone else is interested we can start a book club, it’s slow going.
