Not really touched on here, but one thing I found very useful in switching to nix is having your entire system defined in a single repo opens it up for very nice agentic setups. Claude code can now configure my whole system, debug my gpu issues, install software etc, and I can simply git diff to inspect the changes and apply if I agree. On arch sometimes Bluetooth not working or my fingerprint scanner not working becomes some hours of debugging, now I can solve these issues trivially, and if it doesn't work I can restore to an earlier point instead of trails of attempts left through my imperative system

In my experience, children who excersise a lot become adults who have a far better baseline and exercise comes easier. Children who never do anything become adults for whom excersise is much more difficult. This seems in line with what the article says about learning?

It slows aging, not reverses it. If the first time you learn 4 languages or get into exercise is when you are 70, you don't immediately have the mine and body of a 57 year old

Learning cursive won't automatically give you the dexterity of a dental surgeon, that's just a silly conclusion you have drawn from one example.

What is the downside of learning cursive?

On the settings page it appears that the index is disabled by default and not included in the ordering either. It's a bit confusing here!

P. I. N. E. from here on out then

That's awesome

The optimal amount of ....... is non zero

Uniswap V3 liquidity pools are managed as NFTs. Not your main point I know, but people often think of NFTs as simply buy and sell art on opensea. A liquidity pool has clear value.

Arweave then

All due respect, this isn't burn out. This is boredom or being uninspired. It can be a drudge, uninteresting, and procrastinated, but actual burnout is a very different beast.

I have mortgage, wife, kids also and continue to plug along, but know the difference.

A C-to-A adapter came with my laptop dock, but I have never thought of this

Same. Keyboard and mouse

1. Isolation

With a well built monolith, a failure on a service won't fail the whole system.

For poorly built microservices, a failure on a service absolutely does being down the whole system.

Not sure I am convinced that by adopting microservices, your code automatically gets better isolation

I didn't realize Reddit API development was "forced".

Whether they enjoy it or not is beside the point.

Moderators are providing value to Reddit. If all mods quit, and no one stepped up to take their place, what would happen? Now who deserves to take profit monetarily for that value?

As far as Reddit "development" they should have stopped a long time ago, the site is horrible to use and has been for a long time.

Less content is fine when the issue is too much junk content. Content would then be created by enthusiasts instead of businesses
