AI workflows are a convenient fit for temporal, their platform is great for much more than just those. It’s an elegant and easy to use solution for a lot of workflow needs.

This question is the exact point they’re making about the biased response to/willingness to create bike vs car laws.

I mean maybe by being a poor person in college on federal student loans I ended up naturally around other poor people in college on federal student loans and it’s confirmation bias, but what you’re saying is a little too generalized for my lived experience. Lots and lots of people growing up in poverty take that FAFSA and run - it’s what everyone says is the only way out of poverty.

I’ll give you this, though: most of the poor college students I knew (myself included) never made it to the $250k line because we eventually had to drop out because things like having to work to afford food made it harder to do well enough to stay in school and graduate.

You do not at all need to be well off to take $250k in student debt. In fact, the worse off you are the easier it is to do so. It’s how the US federal student loan aide works, essentially. The less you have the more they’ll loan.

Why not toggle light and dark mode and set things to follow the system? That works great for me in macOS, these days things that doesn’t support that are rare. I actually can’t recall the last app (that _i_ use) that wasn’t a website that doesn’t support light vs dark mode and follow system settings.

I have no idea how it works, but if you sold/licensed/created your art to fabric patterns, theres almost certainly a small market there. Clicking through your site (others are right, you could present your work better), I see plenty of “I’d buy a decently priced cool shirt of that pattern”. Sample size of one and all.

If you have proper rowing form your arms are almost entirely used just for holding on. The majority of your power comes from legs and core.

Not a professional rower, just looked into form when I was using a rowing machine.

My best time working with project management on a team used this method. Well, we used the back of a whiteboard but the post-its were the real killer feature.

You could just pin those domains as you come across them. I’ve definitely done that with one or two things that I hit this issue with.

Funny you mention Datadog, I specifically struggle to keep their blog/promotion/etc official results out of the way when digging around for documentation and troubleshooting. If I’m trying to find a solution to something weird with Datadog I’m often facing the opposite of your problem and wish Datadog’s site would get out of the way.

Do you have any source or further reading on this topic? The only thing I can readily find is you making similar comments on HN for the last decade, and I’d like to learn more.

I’m biased about this as a boot camp grad -> staff engineer who has worked with a lot of interns that went on to be very successful engineers from the boot camp I attended, but yes it can definitely help.

Presuming my understanding of persistent sessions lines up with yours, set `terminal.integrated.enablePersistentSettings`. You may also want to change the value of `terminal.integrated.persistentSessionScrollback` to something higher than the default (1000? not sure)

I’ve had great luck with conventional commits by just ignoring half of them. feat, fix, chore, docs - that’s enough to cover a LOT of cases.

I was worried about the 1000 search limit, and it has so far (since beta) proven not to be a problem. I use Kagi for all my searches on all machines and my phone and average 800 or so a month. I haven’t modified my behavior at all, and consider myself a heavy search engine user.

I have a theory that I would actually need to do twice as many searches with Google or DuckDuckGo or whatever, since the SEO spam would force me to do more term refinement. With far less of that (and a tiny tiny bit of settings tuning) I get better results much quicker. I’d test it but I have a job to do and can’t swallow the idea of going back to how bad the other viable options really are.
