You can read without using your inner voice if you practice. It supposedly lets you read a lot faster, though I have my doubts about how well you retain the information. One way to do it is to think “lalalala” while reading something!

Interesting, yeah. I inherited a Blazor project though and have nothing positive to say about it really. Some of it is probably implementation, but it’s a shining example of how much better it is to choose the right tool for the job, rather than reinventing the wheel. For a while I was joking about setting the whole project “ablazor” until we finally decided to go back to a React/C# ASP.NET stack. If you’re thinking of using Blazor still, though, I think two fun things to look into are “linting issues with Blazor” and “Blazor slow”. I’ve heard people praise it, but they tend to be those who consider themselves backend devs that occasionally get stuck making frontends.
I’m surprised the CPU cooler is so small when they went to all that effort adding all those Noctuas.
I use Vscode with markdown preview, with a git repo. The only downside is that Windows incessantly wants to group instances of an application, so it’s hard to keep my notes separate from my coding stuff.
Do you enjoy driving at all though? I feel like there are a lot of people who love driving but don’t care if they’re doing it with a “boring econobox”. Listening to music and cruising down the highway on a warm summer afternoon is fun to me no matter what car I’m in.
I’ve had about 20 cars in the last 16 years, from an '88 Plymouth Reliant to an '82 Datsun King Cab pickup to an '08 Subaru Outback. But my favorite is my '20 4runner because I don’t have to think about bringing my tools and extra fluids/belts along on a road trip.
That said, man I had some great memories driving around in my '91 Honda Prelude with a 5 speed and a loud stereo. Always felt cool driving that car, even though the speedometer didn’t work, the transmission grinded on every shift due to worn out synchros (if you didn’t double-clutch), and the engine burned a quart of oil every 400 miles!
I wrote a json prettifier a couple months ago with just a couple lines of code. I thought it would take a while but ended up taking like 10 minutes.
Shout out to the yt channel Ahoy for making some of the most sleepable video game videos, like this one: https://youtu.be/9F9ahZQ7oP0?si=AzP9X_vq-o96gPD_ Also great when you’re not sleeping!
That’s a shame, I love that book.
When you really want the floor to be lava.
It helps people relax and feel good, basically. In a similar vein, there’s no informational content in a sitcom and yet they continue to be made. Some people enjoy crocheting or playing guitar hero, even though they might not be learning much from them. Personally I like a good blend of entertainment and education, but I also don’t really try to justify to myself why I might enjoy one person’s videos over another’s, it might even come down to the voice or some other entirely subjective factor really.
Originated in car culture to describe people who take Japanese economy cars and make them look like they’re from The Fast And The Furious while doing nothing to improve actual performance.
For a long time I tried, but one day I just decided to focus on the hobbies I care the most about. I dumped a lot of time into software for my career, then kept up with bass guitar practice and dirt biking. All the other hobbies are things I might pick up if I have a surplus of time, but I’ve accepted that I’ll never go that deep into them.
