When you do a task with multiple steps several times, do each step for everything at once, before moving to the next step. As opposed to doing all steps for each item and repeating.

Example: slicing apples requires splitting, coring, and slicing. It is faster to split all apples, core all apples, and finally slice all apples than it is to split, core, and slice each apple before moving to the next. You basically want to manufacture your slices in an assembly line.

I use a similar process for laundry. Throw likes into piles. Turn each pile right side out. Stack. Fold. I’ve heard people complain about laundry. I’ve seen the same people pull shirts out of the dryer one at a time and fold them.

Customizing your keyboard. The biggest one is mapping capslock to control. How often do you use the former vs the latter? Try pressing ctrl+t vs capslock+t. Now think about how many new tabs you make in a day.

I also map right alt to escape, left ctrl to alt, and left alt to a third layer I use for global vimmy keys (e.g. hjkl)

These work in most programs. You cam also use ctrl + bksp to backspace a full word

You can use regex in vim

It’s a balance between useless and identifiable. You could take someone’s search queries and anonymize them very easily. Take that data, mix it into a copy of Moby Dick, and completely scramble it. That data is 100% anonymous, albeit completely useless.

The idea is to find a midpoint between that and completely identifiable.

Is it tracking you or tracking ads? If it was the latter and it is made public, that is information I’m sure we would all be interested in

It’s a joke from George Carlin. I wouldn’t advocate for plowing old ones (although dead stuff makes fertile soil). Personally, I wouldn’t make new ones, but perhaps a middle ground is to make mausoleums wbere people can be burried vertically.

I taught my 18 month year old niece the sound a dinosaur makes. ROOOOOOOAAAR

I’m a physicist and we are actually dumb as a box of rocks.

My brother in law is a stay at home dad too. He’s a wonderful father and supportive spouse. Yall deserve a hell of a lot of credit!

That’s an interesting point, provided it motivates people to do something about it, rather than assigning a moral failing to the individual. I.e. they deserve it for their sins. In my mind, dehoused elucidates the lack of a basic human need: shelter. There is a solution, especially in the face of the greed of rent seeking.

Plow the golf courses and cemeteries! Give these folks a place to live!

Several years ago, my mom started making care for folks out on the street. Some water, a bag of chips, a piece of candy. Little things like that. I started doing the same thing. It’s good to help those down on their luck in small ways. Even to to look at them and say “no, I’m sorry” when they ask for money, rather than to just ignore them. You are acknowledging them as a person. If we wish to make a better society, actions speak louder than words.

I also prefer the term ‘de-housed’ to ‘homeless’. I feel the latter places blame on them rather than the former which places blame on the society which has failed them.

What’s your opinion of Free Software?

You have to separate:

1. Stallman the person
2. Stallman the programmer
3. Stallman the philosopher

As nice as an idea as it is, it will never be feesible for one reason: buy in. You would have to get everyone on youtube to migrate to the same platform. Just about everyone who uses windows has gripes about it, but the masses don’t migrate to Linux. Because it is change at all, and there are too many choices. I like anyone else here, would love for folks to even consider an alternative, it’s a losing battle against human nature.

My grand parents had a fridge in their basement from the 50s until they died 2010. That thing was built like a tank

Entertainment value nails it
