My homedir is a HUGE MESS.

Work?

~/src///

i.e. ~/src/github/mirantis/docker (not real I don't imagine, just an example)

~/src/bitbucket/INTERNALPROJECTCODE/coolrepo

I learned about 16 years ago on a Solaris course that /usr wasn't "user", I still say "user", but I'm happy to see the information spreading that that isn't what it actually is.

I just switched to MagicEarth since it works with Android Auto. Pretty happy with it so far.

Hrm, I've got a $6k set of Klips I put together about a year or so ago and they all have grilles.

I'm looking at a ~$20k set of SVS Ultra Evos in the next few months, they've all got grilles.

Everything else I've explored and considered in the 'window shopping' that has led me to the SVS - Paradigm, higher end Klips, PSB, Wharfedale, JBL, all in around that same price point, also all had grilles.

Are you sure the pictures you're seeing are not just making a point of showing you what is under the grilles, but they do in fact come with grilles?

No. They're the "right now".

The future will be something else.

Have to keep changing it. No idea why, but it keeps us employed, so c'est la vie.

In the middle of getting my wisdom teeth pulled. They had to like, take me off the laughing gas, but then feed me air or o2 or something for a bit to make sure it was cleared out of my system enough that I could EXIT the dentist's office and proceed down the hall of the office tower to the shared washroom ... while still doped up on the other pain stuff and whatever else was going on (I think they had to shove some gauze in there to keep me from bleeding all over myself or something) ... fun times!

We have the same case! Twinsies!!

I had coding and k8s tests before my current role. As they role is platform engineering, it may not be quite the same as if you're going for an actual coding job, but - it was open book, and you could pick your language - they weren't trying to test "do you know [language]", they were trying to test your analytical and thinking skills.

The only part of it I remember now (vaguely) was something about flipping a coin. It wasn't actually a coding test so much as a logic and problem solving test. The only thing I actually brought to the table was knowing most languages have a modulo function and how to make use of one for various thing (from experience, I've never actually been formally taught any coding), and I basically then Googled the pieces to put it together. They know that's what you're going to do on the job anyway, as literally everyone does, so why keep you from doing it in an interview?

#1 - quitting drinking. I'd have been long dead by now the way I was going. #2 - starting meditation. I'm still not sure how I went 30-someodd years in this body prior with all that noise in my head.

Trying to park at a mall, in Toronto, in early December one year (so Christmas shopping ramping up) ... amusingly for an appointment with a psychologist.

She had to come out at park the car for me.

Drivers in this city... so, so toxic.

Same. I was so sure actually I was wondering if it was edited after I clicked or something.

High school diploma. I've only been specifically asked in one job interview in my entire 25 year career. I currently have employment income in the 94th percentile for a man of my age in my country (according to 2021 census data) - and no high school diploma.

If you have Hue bulbs (and maybe some other now, haven't looked in a while) Sleep as Android can do that too!

I came to say Sleep as Android as well. Been using it since we were submitting bug reports on Google+ (anyone old enough to remember Google+ ? lol) ... absolutely love it.

Same! Wow, that is a bit much :-(

Hhhrrrrmmmm, very good point I had not previously considered.

It is!

I tried it. I tried just opening lots of tabs. I tried grouping tabs. Open tabs strewn across 3+ devices, "to read later", until eventually some months later I just give up and close them, having lost interest or simply seeing a need to close some of the overflowing tabs.

My only solution to this problem - as BAD as ChatGPT is and as much as we hate it - feed the thing I'll want to "read later" straight into ChatGPT RIGHT THEN, and just read a summary of it.

I've been doing this for a couple weeks now and so far, so good.

I believe it may have been E.T. on Atari. That or the Star Wars one we had, which I think may have been Empire

100% agree on "car" and came to the comments with it in mind.

As much as it sits unused the majority of the time though, that isn't what I was thinking - what I was thinking is how I've never get to "fully use" it, or any sports car I've owned for that matter, as to me fully using it would entail bringing it to a track, REALLY putting it through it's paces, and pushing it to the limits it was actually designed for. While it is great fun to drive (safely) around town, and comfort and luxury were absolutely large parts of the engineering that went into it, it's hardly living up to it's full potential!

I was referring to Standard Def, but both are good and pretty light on space!

I've been very happy with my Monoprice "Blackbird 4K DisplayPort 1.4 USB 3.0 4x1 KVM Switch, 4K@60Hz, HDR, YCbCr 4:4:4, HDCP 2.2". I run an ultrawide at 3840x1600 @ 144 Hz, or HDR at 120 Hz, G-Sync both, and it works wonderfully. It took some effort to get all the required devices using the same connections - went through quite a few "USB-C to DP" cables from Amazon that had to be returned because they couldn't do the high refresh like they claimed ... but once I got everything set up, it's worked like a dream, 3+ years and counting now I think.

Found the other audiophile.

With you mentioning Logitech in the post, I'm not sure you actually want "audiophile" speakers or just 'good computer speakers', but the above list gets my audiophile thumbs up. I'd throw Klipsch The Sevens and The Nines into the mix too.

it just shuts up you internal monologue for long enough to get to sleep

Though it takes longer to achieve, it's effects go beyond just helping you sleep - regular meditation, even purely secular "mindfulness meditation" can help achieve the same, with lasting effect, and much wider implications in day to day life.

There is sometimes still an internal monologue, but it's not as powerful or overwhelming, and it's much easier to ignore or shut off.
