Discord seems to be down, so I went to Twitter to see if they were posting anything. (Their status page is not that helpful.)
I'm not logged into Twitter, so here's what I see: a bunch of posts, out of order, with the first non-pinned one from September last year.
So even if they're posting, I'll never know, because Twitter can't even put a feed in reverse-chronological order any more. And of course, I can't see replies.
Why is anyone using this thing to disseminate information any more?
I'm trying zellij to replace tmux and while it is very cool, seems stable, and I love how it shows me all the commands so I can learn its keystrokes… they're all based on Ctrl.
How does anyone get anything done with this thing and also use vim or emacs?
I'm going to have to come up with my own completely custom commands to make it usable. Or just go back to tmux commands.
If I could make one arbitrary, sweeping policy change, I would ban chairs in schools.
I’m completely serious. Chairs are terrible, and we teach children to use them way too early. And then we’re surprised when people grow up sedentary and with perennial backache.
Chairs are designed for a single, unchanging height. The result is people learn to sit very poorly. Too tall? You end up sitting cross-legged and destroying your ankles. Too short? Say goodbye to your posture.
Ten years ago, @mathiasverraes told me (in a room full of people), “Stand up. You can’t think when you’re sitting.” It’s so true. To think, you need to move. To pace, to gesticulate, to breathe.
Hot take: it is normal and rational to accept a job at a company you dislike, or in a field you are morally against, when the alternative is not having a job.
At the end of the day, you have to eat, and the society most of us live in says that you only get to eat if you have a job.
