The qualities that are needed to grind the algorithms, system design, and what have you have a nice correlation with success later

Perseverance, diligence, sheer will to grok the somewhat boring shit.

Even writing some code in the notepad/whiteboard means you have enough mental RAM/stack/context window to keep the bits in the head.

So it ain’t no “magic potion”. Ideally we had a less strenuous thing ( Bloodborne/Dark Souls platinum trophy for the diligence part? :-) ) but you can’t always have what you want.

For example rightAlt + c will give you ©, rightAlt+- will give you em-dash —

Both for mac and windows:

Instead of using the same branch, make new branches from that parent and commit there.

The cool thing about that approach is that (at least in git-tower app) is when you edit a parent branch after pr comments, all those new commits will be automatically “restacked” on descended branch (children branches will be rebased on new state or parent, incorporating the hew fixes)

For example, I clicked on the random link in that paper (referenced as a proof of river oxygen decline) — the article was not even based on some actual data log but fucking deep learning model (which may or may not work)

5-20 satellites daily?

At first glance, it seems negligible.

On the hand, given the intentional nature if disposable low-orbit, 20 more than ideal.

Just check battery stats, it will show what drains the most.

But after one point in time I gave up and just set up airplane mode automation every 6 hours

Turning that off, or using automatic airplane mode (eg in shortcuts set a schedule to turn on airplane mode daily)

Factory stampted cds are better in this regard

Which takes us to a point of future US dev salaries if this thing with agents gets better more and more

So mechanical watch can be pretty accurate (very much so, if you buy one without a seconds hand).

Ultimately, it is a combination of inaccuracy, servicing at least once every 5-7 years, not so great running time (if you have many watches), etc. that turned my obsessive-compulsive gaze away from them (after I manually regulated with a timegrapher my Raketa Big zero to be accurate around to +3 seconds per day if I wear it constantly, which was fun akin to bonsai or what have you).

The only thing I would have wanted from gshock is having more apocalypse-level accuracy (if there is no time signal available): like having a built-in offsets to account for temperature-based quartz fluctuations.

That and a battery inside that can last a century of solar charge — so it can be an ultimate tool :-)

Gshock metal square (like the photo I referenced) never failed on me (and I have 3 of those in different colors: gold and silver lcd ones, and black memory in pixel new one)

Though even if you consider any possible harmfull effects like thyroid nodules formation correlation [1] (people somehow only think about ionizing radiation, but there much more that happens in a cell that can be possibly disrupted without xray level stuff to damage dna or heat: there are ion channels and what have you), the Bluetooth on gshock — if set up — will work only for a few seconds twice a day. Basically nothing even if you sleep directly on it all night long
