Interesting enough, where I live we also can have domestic workers without being filthy rich. But we've seen the exactly opposite problem: people trust a single product for everything and will use the least amount of it because "it's good enough". The current person working at our place uses dish detergent to clean the entire house unless we tell her everyday to not do it. The previous one used bleach, and ruined most of our bath and hand towels.

It's Zed's

I own a 1997 VW Golf that, other than the front wheel vibration, is identical. It seems 20 years later VW was doing the same mistakes.

My first thought was "why would anyone want to ditch LaTeX?". But it's been almost 20 years I left academy, so I knew I would be missing something.

Reading the comments reminded me of the pain.

I didn't see anyone mentioning, maybe it was me "holding it wrong", but boy what have I done to get proper references. After a year or so writing articles I had an unfailing process to get them right, but whenever I tried to explain it to my colleagues I heard "yeah, ok, I'm staying in MS Word".

I also did a pixel-perfect template for my university. As a programmer, I never felt so ashamed of sharing something. I felt like it would be selfish to keep it to myself, so I did it, but it almost physically hurt me. After 10 years people stopped emailing me asking for help. Maybe they fixed the template or just ditched LaTeX at all.

As I'm planning to get back to academy next year, it was good to learn about Typist.

I'm feeling dumb, but that seems a really different RailsConf than I was expecting.

Once I was getting off my jeans to do the Royal Squat and they decided to barf my phone. It fell like from 30 cm high, hit the ground exactly on the corner. Screen cracked edge to edge.

Who can afford space for a junk drawer in 2025? If junk wants to be my roommate, it better pay the rent.

I'm joking and completely agree with your point about lack of hyper stimulation, but I'm also a bit serious. About ten years ago I started getting rid of things that would entertain me once or twice a year mostly because of the real state they use. Now that I quit all social media I remember why I used to keep all that stuff around.

This video was recommended to me yesterday and I refused to watch, I believed it would take me into some kind of rabbit hole. Either this guy videos or about VHS (or worst, both).

From the comments here, it seems I was right. But now I regret, I could live with a couple of hours of sleeping depravation (I guess).

Technology Connections is a rabbit hole of its own, and if you let it it will send you into a billion more.

You watch 2h30 about RCA's CED (video disc format from the mid 60s which didn't see production before the early 80s at which point it was DOA), and when the playlist ends you're sad and wonder if you should watch it again. It's great.

I suggest you start with his dishwasher content

People at work still don’t believe me when I tell them that there’s no point using the pods that say they have rinse aid built in…

Oh boy, I foresee conflicts at home after watching it. But a person who runs away from conflicts is a coward :)

I've been wanting to get off pods since that video, but I still have a Costco size stash of them.

Technology Connections always puts out quality content.

I use the browser's own bookmarks tool.

At least for work, if I'd lose my bookmarks my productivity would plummet until I could get them back. (Fortunately?) I don't remember how to even start looking for all the Jira links I have saved.

I've been there last month for a week and didn't see any.
