Try subprojects. Not just individual steps, but simpler projects that yield their own results.

IntelliJ IDEA

It’s an IDE, a highly featureful code editor.

A lot of programmers like to use more basic text editors and pile on plugins. I feel bad for them when they share some new plugin they’re excited about and it’s a feature that’s been in IntelliJ forever and they had to put extra work in to get it. And so many other users of that editor don’t even know what’s possible.

Credit is not due. He didn’t do anything yet.

The news aggregator service inkl specifically has a Good News section to counteract the “if it bleeds it leads” bias in media.

It’s a fun combination of both.

Monied interests seek out the true believers of whatever nonsense (no regulation, supply-side econ etc.) they want and fund their campaigns.

Where’d you get this kidney?

Found it

I ran pi-hole on my NAS. Then I pointed my router at it to make it the DNS for my whole network. The only problem was it would create issues when I had a power outage. If things didn’t start up with the right timing they would get wonky and certain devices would report as not having Internet.

That’s why I bought an OpenWRT One so I could install an equivalent to pi-hole on in directly. Though I hit a snag with that and don’t currently have that running.

I haven’t noticed much of a difference without the pi-hole running (my NAS is dead right now). I think some of my devices had their own DNS settings so they weren’t using the config from the router.

Even better, you can create a “Hybrid PDF” which embeds a second copy of the file in ODT format inside the PDF. This makes it re-editable.

Word supports ODT but it doesn’t support reading these ODT files embedded in PDFs though.

You can never hit a wall with programming. You can always keep improving your scripts. You could add observability or logging. Try different languages. Create a DSL for it.

Check out Language Oriented Programming with Racket.

Create a full test suite. Unit tests. Integration tests.

Where are you running your scripts? Do you have a deployment pipeline?

Workflow tools like Apache Airflow make for nice observability.

Lentils are legumes. Legumes and beans are pulses. Lentils are not beans.

Those are called chumboxes

FYI, that circle is called a throbber

The pickles onion and barbeque sauce are nicely balanced and crunchy though

The point of the Kin was that it was supposed to create a new service tier in between dumb phones and smart phones with expensive plans. At the time phones came with 2 year contracts that subsidized the cost of the phone. A basic plan came with $175 worth of subsidy which covered a dumb phone. If you added $30/month for unlimited data, you would get $350 off the the up front cost of a smart phone.

Microsoft’s idea was that parents didn’t want to pay that much for a smart phone for their teens. But a teen would get plenty of benefit from something in between which would allow them to use a non SMS messaging service and browse social media. Plus it had a keyboard.

It’s still Verizon’s fault. But it wasn’t lack of promotion. The Kin didn’t make sense without the accompanying plan.

Ridiculous. I couldn’t name a more trusted brand of RAM.
