This isn't the first time I've shared these links, but I hope it doesn't come across as spammy because 1) I'm not selling anything and 2) articles like this keep getting posted, which implies this is a topic some people are just discovering
Still not sure if I'll keep it, but like another commenter said, perhaps I'll embrace my percentage and just make the most out of what's left.
Cowardly (or cunningly?) I set the background to pure black like my regular wallpaper and the text to almost-black. So I think I'll forget about the wallpaper and every now and again, the percentage will jump at me late at night. Let's see :)
Thanks for this!
learning how to undo my last step would save so much time. right now, i have to anticipate a risky step and run that line in the debugger console.
Describe hacker news in the style of shakespeare
'Tis a forum for those most clever, Where software engineering, startups, and coding endeavors, Are oft discussed in posts, comments, and stories galore, And a place where tech-savvy minds can make their mark and explore.
A hub of tech trends and news, Where many a programmer doth post and choose, To discuss the latest issues and share their ideas, And bask in the wisdom of the tech savvy sages.
A place of innovation and creation, Where debates and discussions spark without cessation, Where the boldest of ideas are set forth, And the minds of the tech-savvy come together to make their mark on the North
>> describe databases in the style of jay z
Databases are like the rap game,
Storing information, just like a player's fame.
Keeps track of records, just like a DJ's record crate,
And can be accessed anywhere, like a rapper's great escape.
Organizing data like a producer's mix tape,
Making sure it's secure, just like a bodyguard's gate.
Indexes, queries, and tables, like a rap battle's rhymes,
Keeping information safe, like a rapper's best lines.For those who don’t know, indie publishing is extremely arduous, yet a lot of the work is excellent. Some time, go out and pick a short story collection by a group of authors you have never heard of and check it out! You might be surprised by what you find (provided the editor was good).
Note: there are often 10-100 submissions for every one that gets accepted too, so you are already having the less interesting ones filtered out for you, if you ever worry about that
I also had a period of time when i was reading many short stories but lost steam after trying a few which I didn't like.
A side-effect of reading short stories is that I forgot their title/author, including the 2-3 stories I enjoyed the most. Or maybe I'm just forgetful. One which I do remember is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Persistence_of_Vision_(nov...
This change has completely destroyed my will to travel. Or, rather, makes me regret not having traveled when I had the chance to enjoy one of the best parts of it: the food. And not just the food itself, though that is a big draw -- more important is the logistics of not having to cook all your food yourself, needing specific products from specific brands (and if you can't find them you're shit out of luck), etc. Travel for me is only possible in places where I have a kitchen (so, AirBnB), and the supplies required to meal prep. I'll spend a not insignificant amount of time in my new locale cooking and cleaning dishes, like I constantly do at home. No wandering around town checking out a restaurant. No airport food. No meeting new friends and them spontaneously treating me to dinner.
So, so many lost experiences. When I get in this mood and remember what life was like just a year ago before all these food allergies hit, when I was still planning on traveling the world "once Covid blew over," it makes me so, so sad. I can't believe I lost my chance just because I chose to work right out of college (worse, an internship that didn't end up hiring me).
Point being:
For whatever critique of travel this post might offer, just...if you can, travel. I never, ever thought that I would lose the ability to be somewhere and just...eat, without thinking. To try new food without fear of literally dying. I never knew that could happen to someone. I never knew the simple joy of eating somewhere I'd never been before could be taken away, that I would be trapped to the same tiny list of ingredients (ever-shrinking, I might add), the same depressingly small number of combinations formed by them, and by extension the physical entrapment, the loneliness, the sense of not being part of the group because I can't share in the meal.
God I hate it.
If you can, just fucking travel. Do it while you still can.
I also put off traveling before and now I regret not doing it while I was physically able to walk/hike around for hours on end.
I did physical therapy, swimming etc to make it feel better, but by now it's clear it will never improve past a certain point.
So yeah, travel while you can :)
I imagine attaching files in-line is one of these things, but maybe there's other stuff you can't do without?
