What is it, link?

Anecdotally I’ve found pink noise to be be quite restorative during my normal after lunch rest in my recliner. It feels like it’s washing my brain and helps me to reset from all the visual and intellectual stimuli encountered while programming in the morning.

Thanks for the recommendation! What perspective do the hosts take in their representation of history?

Good to see this because it means demand for new Linux laptops is still here (or even growing) but why wouldn’t someone go for a System76 laptop instead that comes with custom, FOSS firmware too?

Thanks to Mr. Tonsky's post mandating me to upgrade to a 4K monitor for sharply rendered fonts, this is awesome. The text is bleeding-edge sharp.

I got the least expensive 27" 4K@60Hz monitor I could (Sceptre U279W-4000R, $200), and it arrived with no dead pixels. I had to find a color calibration profile, but now it's a beaut. Thanks to Mr. Tonsky.

Thanks, I saved this to use later when I get a better monitor. How did you devise these steps though if I may ask? And what are these things?

Nice job offering something for free. I'm not as skeptical as some here; looks like you just wanted to build something useful for people and it's not going to cost too much to provide it. At the very least, it's a great project to have under your belt, with real customers, etc. Could help landing jobs, for sure!

I had to figure out how to handle my contact form on my static blog recently, and I decided to simply write a form handler with Go and deploy it on Google's Cloud Functions. It's free for now (and probably always will be considering the fact that I'll probably never receive more than ~10 form submissions per month anyways). The function takes awhile to spin up cold, but it doesn't matter too much. I like it because the code is simple and I "own" the service.

Curious to hear what other static site admins have decided to use for their forms.

The article makes broad, sweeping generalizations, but it was enjoyable and engaging to read, so cheers to the author for that. He's right, too, generally speaking: lots of work can and will be done remotely from various locations across the globe. Of course, there will always be natural divides (that's what makes us human). Someone who can't speak the same language as the rest of the team just isn't going to get hired, no matter how well they can code.

Government regulations also play a huge role in how "globalized" a job can be. If you're working at a defense contractor, for example, you sure as heck aren't going to be replaced by a foreign national. In many cases, the office culture at those companies won't change hardly at all, due to data governance restrictions.

This is awesome, good job! I like how the interface blends so smoothly with the other existing Landscape apps. What's stopping Urbit from saving these canvas images more quickly, though?

Beautiful, thanks for sharing. I'm quite inclined to agree with Mr. Faunce. On a semi-related note, while watching the 50s TV show "The Andy Griffith Show" you can notice that Andy has a print of the "Angelus" above his fireplace. Neat little touch, I thought.

It might work for low level development tasks (which could very well be most of the software development happening in the world, who knows?), but not for anything more advanced.

That wasn't too hard, was it? ;)

Why the foul language? Completely unnecessary.
