Outage on Modal because of this. Not good.

Yup, appears to be an turn off turn on fix. Very frustrating though for such a critical piece of infrastructure

Brilliant. Would love to know more about how Myers Briggs preferences are integrated.

The auto-planning is super cool.

Minor bug: typing in the trip creation airport is laggy or overwrites sometimes. Might need a debounce.

Firebase appears to be down for production services. Firebase console shows errors for existing projects.

Interesting. I grew up most of my life overseas learning various different languages. Anecdotal, but most of the best coders I know are talented writers and often are multi-lingual.

Update: looks like the problem has been identified.

"We've identified a cause of degraded git operations, which may affect other GitHub services that rely upon git. We're working to remediate."

Yeah, this is not good. I've experienced other outages on their other products (e.g. GitHub Actions), but not even being able to do a basic git pull is an entirely different level.

GitHub git operations are down. Any git operation returns a 500 error response.

New comment by hunkins in "Surgeon General Calls for Cancer Warnings on Alcohol"

hunkins — Fri, 03 Jan 2025 20:02:32 +0000

The science keeps getting stronger and stronger on this.

Excited for the day when I do not have to justify to my friends & family why I do not want a drink.

Many point to the rise in depression and social isolation as a counterweight to the discussion on alcohol's negative effects, but my take is that once the social stigma of refusing a drink is severely lessened and social spaces adapt, that argument will also dissolve.

It's the second part of a two part essay on loneliness. [1]

I've always wondered why even when certain circles of my life feel so full (e.g. relationship), I can still feel lonely. This essay gives me a mental model for why.
