I had the exact same reaction!

I felt silly at first complaining to my wife I couldn’t get myQ working again, thinking I did something wrong after adding an automation. We tried to open the door (remote via hass) for my son when he got home but it didn’t work. Obviously it was something I did?(nope)

Then I watched the discussion on discord and realized I’m not alone albeit still a small percentage.

Then I see this as top post on hn.

It’s frustrating to have a company do this. I don’t agree with their choice. Plus forcing you to see ads whenever you open or close the door is Orwellian.

Now I need to somehow sell this device on eBay with hopes a large percentage still wants it.

My unconscious bias made me read this as “Maryland Book”.

I thought the libreddit instance I was using was down and then I went to another instance, then another, …, and another, and finally thought “maybe Reddit is down?”

I’ve been slowly integrating more devices to my home assistant setup—most recent a garage door controller—and I thought I was done for now and content with the setup. After reading this I can’t help but plan out the next several weekends to try to replicate this in hass.

Somewhat related, I learned a long time ago that each broadcast station (in the USA) mix their audio in a different way during NFL and college football games. I noticed Fox sports mixes crowd noise at a higher level—-drowning out the announcers; my opinion. The other day I walked into our living room and heard the TV (the the Ohio State vs. Michigan game) and I immediately said to my wife “oh, so the game is on Fox?” She said “nope, it’s ABC…oh, you’re right! That’s why it sounds weird.”

Thanks for that reminder. I had to delete an app I had running since 2013. Up until the moment before I committed to deleting it, I felt no emotion at all. But right after I confirmed deletion, I felt like an animal I had on the farm died. I was sad. I had that thing chugging along with no real issues for almost 9 years. I used that platform to learn and try new things and then built an app to track my workout progress. It was a great way for me to learn Django without losing money and build some useful tools.

I (43 yr) had a moment where I showed how important it was for our family to understand cursive when we had to transcribe recipes and letters from ancestors (mom, grandparents, etc.) for my daughters (16yr and younger) who wanted to bake family recipes.

Side note is I realized I’ve stopped writing in my journals in cursive about 10 years ago and transitioned to print. I don’t even know why other than being lazy or my handwriting has degraded and decided I wanted to be able to read my own handwriting.

Why did I read this as “How to feel enraged at work”? Complacency modification?

Really happy to see Dr. Chan do this. We were in the same research group at UCSD and he helped me a ton when I started learning how to write a research paper and deal with optimizing matlab code for image and video algorithms. Now he’s exponentially impacting more people.

“exo-brain (tech-)tools” is a form of cognitive offloading [0], right?

quote from article: "As a side note: if Lel ever becomes popular enough that people argue about tabs vs spaces, or if function bodies belong on a newline always, that will absolutely make my life."

That unexpectedly made me LOL.

Exactly; when work gets more demanding I unintentionally stop working out and eat fast food and I notice a significant increase in depression. I actually need to take more effort to work out, eat healthy when work is more demanding (or kids just being kids) just to keep my head above water. Easier said than done thus therapy helps as a lifeline.
