scolding hot metal

I like the mental imagery


it's not scalding hot, no, the metal is actively chastising you.

...the San Francisco gold rush in 1949.

Classic CS major, making an off-by-one(hundred years) error ;)

Personally, I think the person who cooks should clean the cookware and the kitchen. The incentives are then aligned, and at least for me, it makes me a much tidier cook.

Also, cooking can be fun, cleaning not so much. Separating cooking/cleaning duties just punishes the person who doesn't get to cook.

Yabai+sketchybar make tiling+virtual desktops...at least usable on mac.

Of course, I'd take i3 any day of the week.

Maybe in the before times, but with the LA residents' response to the fascist in chief, I think most of us in San Francisco are honored to share the state, and be confused, with Angelenos.

Just keep the Dodgers in SoCal. This is the Giants' city.

When I hear the term, I think of the Rainbow cover of the Quatermass song. But that's just me.

California doesn't allow "use it or lose it" vacation policies. Vacation rolls over up to a reasonable amount, which apparently isn't super well defined, but my employers have generally set a limit of 2x annual.

PhDs in many fields, particularly the physical sciences, are funded. Lost wages are real of course, but you can often come out the other side without accumulating any debt.

Coming from Debian, it was...not expected. I understand how and why it happened, but the user experience was surprising.

Debian keeps the previous kernel around, which makes perfect sense to me


in the event that a kernel update borks your system you can just load the previous one. This would probably only happen due to out of tree modules (looking at you, Nvidia...).
