@major I don't know what those are and I am afraid to ask

@BrodieOnLinux I just try not to leave comments or to respond to them lol. I'd probably be better off if I didn't read them, tbh

@skinnylatte Would it have mattered? Would you have listened?

If I could tell myself things, I probably wouldn't have listened, so it wouldn't have mattered. Sometimes the only way to learn is to pass through the fire yourself

@skinnylatte tbh, the bad reviews are what make many places appealing to me...

"decor was dated"
"plates were not fancy"

bet the food was delicious af

@CodingItWrong Maybe if they use arbitrary precision math for everything but that seems like it would be very slow

@impactology @skinnylatte I guess that therapists and coaches are human, too

@skinnylatte you don't need a bike lock if you have a bike that weighs 1,000 lbs ;-)

Exciting news for fans of typography!

"For decades, software like Adobe InDesign and LaTeX has evaluated multiple lines of text at a time as they decide where to end one line and begin the next. It’s just that the web didn’t use a multiline algorithm. Until now.

We are excited to bring this capability to the web for the first time, in Safari Technology Preview 216."

@skinnylatte They should rename all the other streets up to 16th as well, imho

@skinnylatte What are they doing instead?

I'm trying to drink less, but find that so much of our social culture seems to revolve around it in an unhealthy way

@skinnylatte I think it's an event venue or something now right?

@skinnylatte Film must be rare enough nowadays that they would be doing a great service if they let you opt in to having your contact info shared with other people ordering the same film lol

@skinnylatte Classification question: At what point does it cease to be congee and become something else?

@skinnylatte What are the places he likes? I'm intrigued

@skinnylatte @trochee For an all-cash transaction, what proportion of your liquid net worth would be okay? Like, if you have $2M in savings and liquid investments, buying a house for $2M seems like a big risk as you lose diversification.

If there's a downturn in Bay Area tech, you'd both lose your job and the equity in your home - is that an acceptable risk for most people?

@skinnylatte Is there a rule for what the next gift in the sequence is supposed to be?

@skinnylatte Hmm, this is less than I expected for you haha. Is this your cottage or something?

@aaronbieber @wall_e @pluralistic Who needs version control when we have zip files?

@linux_mclinuxface @sszuecs Do you see docs problems as distinct from OSS sustainability as a whole?

I think docs are often kinda rough because many projects are driven by volunteers, and writing good docs takes time and skill.

What are your thoughts?

@linux_mclinuxface I'd be lying if I said that I didn't give preference to projects with more stars, there's a social proof element to it, but I agree that it's a dumb metric. It's also just super prominent and there's not that much to go off of when selecting a project. Otherwise, I look at the readme and docs.

Biggest factor for me is how I come to know the project. Often someone mentions it and if they've used it then it seems more legit to me.

I should probably pay more attention tbh
