There are definitely airline seats where the reclining seats impact the knee room. I'm 6'2" but I seem to have more of it in the legs than typical, which really shows up in non-extended legroom airlines. I buy the upgrade whenever possible, but sometimes it's just not available.

In a regular (not extended) seat, I have two positions that work: my ankles crossed and tucked up close to my seat with knees spread, and nothing in the underseat in front of me and then putting my feet there, with my legs straightened (wedging my thighs into the edge of my seat). Even then, my knees are high enough that usually the person in front of me reclining will recline the seat back into my knees (best case) or those metal side rails into my knees. Especially enjoyable when the suddenly recline the seat.

Not everyones body geometry is the same. My son is around the same height as me, but when we sit in the car he's like half a head taller than me, he carries a lot of his height in his trunk where I carry it in my legs.

For example, I liked the idea of this but had no interest in the shell history integration; I use atuin.

So I had codex build me one, including the 250ms wait for git, and if git takes longer than that it backgrounds it, uses the last git status until git can return an updated status. https://github.com/linsomniac/jafoprompt

I'm on the fence about my current "2-line prompt, collapsing to a single line" when I press enter. I like that it gives me a lot of room, but there's some information I find I'm wishing was persisted in my shell history (git branch, previous command execution time for long running commands).

"Did you see that game last night" replied to with "The Visitors are my favorite team" is something you could say instead of "hi" as a family.

Would have come in handy when our niece was traveling in Asia and asked for money a few times, but in this case it wasn't a scam.

I got no traction with it, which I was a bit surprised by because one of the family members works at the Puzzle Palace.

People are applying that label to anything that has the taint of AI on it. I get why.

I realize there are a lot of reasons why people hate AI, but one that is frequently cited is that it's dehumanizing. It's kind of ridiculous to see those same sort of people call something "slop" when I've put tens of hours into guiding the AI tooling. Talk about dehumanizing!

A friend of mine and I go out to lunch every 3 months and talk about, among other things, investing. We've made a trope of it, calling out the people who are predicting an imminent market crash every time we have lunch.

I'm not saying that it doesn't look like it's going to crash, but I'll also say that there's also a very sizeable downside potential for getting out of the market.

It's a lot like how when you read you almost never read every letter, you look at the entire word and that turns into an idea in your mind.

And not an arcade game, but a multi-player throwback to a multiplayer shooter game my team used to play called nSnipes: https://github.com/linsomniac/isnipes

iSnipes does require downloading and running a server, the others you just play on the web.

As that DDoS was going on I realized that some of our dev and staging processes were impacted by it, and that apt-cacher-ng was doing nothing to help us.

apt-cacher-ultra snapshots the repo meta-data after verifying it, and only promotes it if the metadata all checks out. Additionally, it can optionally keep a list of "hot" packages, and can include those in the snapshot calculation.

Additionally, apt-cacher-ng would regularly choke and require some handholding. I'm hoping -ultra resolves that as well.
