Same here, customer just reached out and my .shop is down
It’s about retention not generation. The problem is greenhouse gases changing how much of the sun’s energy can escape.
I think you’ve simply misunderstood the basic mechanism/claim here.
I was referring to adding redis prematurely
I think you just convinced me to drop redis for my new project.
Definitely a premature optimization on my part.
I’m so bad at drawing it only had a 46% confidence level that it was a fish
Yes, it’s a roll of the dice which is unfortunate because it was actually pretty fun and a quite profound experience.
I’m not saying people shouldn’t do it but just to proceed with caution and ideally under professional supervision.
Anecdotally, I didn’t get severe anxiety and panic attacks until immediately after trying mushrooms. I didn’t even have a bad trip, but the next day something was off and I never truly recovered from that.
I agree with all you’ve said but with regards to writing a dissertation for larger changes : have you tried letting it first right a plan for you as markdown (just keep this file uncommitted) and then let it build a checklist of things to do?
I find just referencing this file over and over works wonders and it respects items that were already checked off really well.
I can get a lot done really fast this way in small enough chunks so i know every bit of code and how it works (tweaking manually of course where needed).
But I can blow through some tickets way faster than before this way.
Seems like it but I’m not sure consciousness necessarily comes along for the ride with AGI.
Depends on the game for me, there are definitely games that I get $80 worth of value.
I had no idea what I was getting into with that book
Sure, I’m not baffled that he think that, I’m baffled that society allows it.
Can you elaborate on the difference, I’m not sure I get it.
For whatever reason norms/laws just don’t apply to Trump. He’s above the law; it’s baffling.

How often do teams actually get to build POCs that aren’t expected to go into production in some form?I just ran into this again. I asked explicitly if the code I was writing was going to be throwaway, was told yes, but then when we wanted to move it to dev, I was told we needed test coverage... And of course, now we have a half-baked but working solution in production. Sure, we can refactor...
I find if i eat an early breakfast, it is indeed hard to not eat after the 8 hours. I find the opposite to be quite easy though. Just skip breakfast and don’t eat until around 1. I get to look forward to food later while actually being hungry.
I sense that change too. Comments are starting to feel too much like Reddit unfortunately.
Interviewing is a skill of its own. Some people are really good at it.
> It is not like water flowing in a direction guided by the terrain.
I understand it doesn’t seem intuitive at first, but evolution is actually quite similar to that.
> Trees produce thorns to keep away animals.
It's not that trees consciously produce thorns to keep animals away. Rather, trees with thorns (due to random mutations) are more likely to survive because they are less likely to be disturbed by animals. Over time, those trees are more likely to reproduce and pass on those traits.
Just like water flows down the path of least resistance, evolution naturally selects for traits that improve survival. The "selecting" we are referring to is used in the same sense that water "selects" which route it takes. It doesn't actually select anything, it's just following the laws of physics.
Almost certainly. I should have rephrased it as "I'm not sure how to grow it from here".
Maintaining current Shopify app and building another.
Why not just grow the first one? It has plateaued and I can’t seem to figure out why.
So glad I watched Midnight Mass on a whim. Incredible show.
>As no manned missions to Mars have ever proven this conjecture, it is still entirely speculation on your part.
But we do have manned missions to other celestial bodies, and we have sent and landed probes on Mars. I'm confused as to how a manned mission to Mars is "entirely speculation".
>no precedent to assume it ever becomes possible
This isn't a qualifier for what is possible. We knew it was possible to go to the moon before there was precedent. If anything, you calling it impossible is pure speculation. OP is right, difficult is not the same as impossible.
I appreciate it, but it's been a couple of years now, so I can't remember specifically.
