Same. I tried a bunch of fancier methods like pour-over, french press, and moka pot with expensive whole beans but I always come back to the trusty cheapo drip machine with pre-ground coffee beans.
> WARNING: Pebble may silently corrupt data or behave incorrectly if used with a RocksDB database that uses a feature Pebble doesn't support. Caveat emptor!
Slightly worrying for now running this in prod if there is a risk for silent data corruption, but hopefully in a few years Vince would have drivers for Postgres / Clickhouse.
> Chronic loneliness is linked to mental health issues like depression and anxiety, as well as physical health problems, including weakened immunity, cardiovascular disease, and an increased risk of mortality.
A lot of pshycologists make that claim but I haven't found any compelling studies that prove it. Depression and axiety is understandable because we're social animals but the physical aspect isn't convincing unless the socially isolated person is lying around in bed doing drugs and eating unhealthy food all day. In that case instead of loneliness, we should blame drug abuse. It's unclear whether drug use is causing social isolation or if the latter is causing drug use.
All the studies I've seen so far have weak evidence and most of them don't address confounding factors. I'm no scientist but I'd appreciate if someone could point to studies with strong evidence about this claim.

It's important to remember that "linked to" does not mean "causes"
You are saying "we should blame the drug abuse and not the loneliness" but "linked to" doesn't imply blame at all already
Just guessing here, but if you're depressed you're much less likely to take your health seriously. It's also much easier to abuse drug when you're lonely - look at drug use among the homeless.
Certainly, if I took away your friends and family I would expect your health to decline.
> Depression and anxiety cause elevated cortisol levels which cause all kinds of physically measurable issues.
I hadn't thought about it that way. I suppose elevated cortisal causes a kind of domino effect that ends up with deteriorated overall health.

This makes sense. I haven't been considering the general population because I consider myself a lonely person since I spend most of my time coding and reading books but that's now how most lonely people would be classified. Many are homeless and in much worse circumstances than I am. I shouldn't be using myself as an example for that reason.
I interviewed at this company about 2 years ago. The CTO himself interviewed me but he wasn't good at it because he asked many unrelated questions and wasn't able to answer my questions without making things up. Basic questions like what their current goals are and why they chose their current tech stack were left unanswered.
Then he told me I did good and he wants to do another interview but together with his cofounder next time. I agreed and never heard from him again. Hopefully they improved on this and stopped ghosting people.
One way to save costs would be by using journalctl to view logs then setup your app to send you an email whenever an unhandled exception is raised or some other kind of error occurs.
There are some interesting ideas in this article. Not using source control and removing tests resulting in a better program is quite fascinating.
It's a shame that there are so many rude comments. It seems like there are many close minded folks lurking here, forgetting that experimentation is essential in tech.
It's also a shame that Kartik explicitly states his goals and his problem domain, yet folks react as if he'd been making comments about their goals and their problem domain.
> Not using source control and removing tests resulting in a better program is quite fascinating.
Can you clarify what is exactly fascinating here? They seem to be writing simple programs, used only by themselves. In these scenarios of course you don't *have* to use good eng practices.
You seem to think of writing simple programs used only by myself (and people I have a relationship with, and people who want to have a relationship with me) as some sort of special situation that doesn't require "good engineering practices." I think of it as the most basic situation of all.
The most foundational engineering practice of all: tailor interventions to the context.
I don't know because no studies have been done about the so called good engineering practices.
If a big company with 10 teams of 20 engineers each blogs about how they're able to ship good code with testing or source control, I won't be any more fascinated that I am here because it sort of makes sense since no one can prove that source control or testing improves the end product.
Now see, I'm the opposite. I would like to pay a reasonable fee to drive a silver-and-oaken stake through the heart of the collab features. I will pay real money to just make it all go away. As others have said, I work in an environment with lots of different tools so collab stuff like this is just visual noise, let me turn it all off.
i.e. very similar to how other editors approach it
e.g. vscode uses network features to make people use the non fully open source version instead of codium (and it's otherwise subventioned by MS to reach the part of the editor/programmer market visual studio can't reach but IMHO if it wouldn't be that is also how they would bring in the money)
