We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.

A random selection:

• not all life-changing advice is good advice
• An estimate is better than a guess. An measurement is better than an estimate.
• It’s never the money. (They will always say it is, but it’s not.)
• The best time to turn it on is before it’s ready. You’ll get plenty of data to finish it faster.
• Your positive mental attitude makes up for most of your shortcomings.
• Isolate. Isolate. Isolate.
• If it’s not written down, it’s not.
• The reason everyone we work for sucks is because those who don’t suck never call us.
• Almost anyone can do almost anything.
• Always take sides

Lots on parenting and time. On choices to have kids, on free time, life satisfaction, population growth, ageing, and bunch of other random jumbles of life advice.

interesting little daily note/photo prompts.

It isn’t normal to know what we want. It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.

Can we reduce resource use and emissions more rapidly than increases caused by growing affluence? History does not think so.

The utility derived from planning, having, and remembering a vacation. Wonderful stuff.

Glad that they weren’t actually currently doing this - the original dorm setup description caused some mild panic.

HN thread and twitter replies with some more options or things to try.

Tailscale, Cloudflare Tunnel or DDNS

Don’t cut corners. Don’t blindly use other people’s configs, learn to read the help pages to look things up.

pattern looping and tape machine madness. “The length of the delay was controlled by physical distance between the two tape machines”.

For making some music in a similiar style (loops of varying lengths), they suggest either using tape, or disable grid in DAW and just use time for loops.

James Blinn teaches how to model shapes with polynomials

surprising(?) amount of biased claims in there. “I have had great luck with phone x”, some hating on google for login screens, etc.
