I stopped my 1Password subscription last year and started using Apple Passwords. The user experience is great if you switch to Safari with fingerprint login.
When visiting Ayers Rock in Australia I stayed in Alice Springs. While I was there I learnt that Alice Springs exists because it was a repeater station for a telegraph line that stretched from Southern Australia all the way to London. There would be people listening to morse code, and tapping it out again to the next repeater station. Blew my mind that there was a wire that went all the way to London from Australia!
Bitcoin doesn't take into account that humans are forgetful.
If you forget your bank card pin code they would post you a new card and pin, if you phone them up. I've done this a couple times in the past pre-smartphone banks.
If you forget your bitcoin password you are never getting access back.
Crunchbang was such a good distro! I ran linux for about seven years. Ubuntu and then Crunchbang. Had my 2012 MacBook Pro dual boot into Crunchbang. Battery life was awful. It had no automatic fan control, so the laptop got so hot I could barely touch it. I ended up writing a bash script to manually control the fans using function keys https://gist.github.com/nwjlyons/b29ee6f7e26595f55a2a
As cool as it was, I can't be bothered with any of that these days. Just give me a Macbook Pro, as I know it will work and have amazing battery life!
Golang will panic with a runtime error index out of range if you index out of bounds. There doesn't seem to be a nice built in way to do `arr.get(3)` like in Rust.
slice := []int{1, 2, 3}
i := slice[3]
fmt.Println(i)

I looked at the Apple watch but choose Garmin as it has a physical button to start and stop my run. I don't know if this is still the case but with the Apple watch I think you have to tap the touch screen. Takes too long, especially when every second counts on a 400m lap round the track :-P
Cognitive load example in Go. It is common to give variables single letter names. Now you have to build up a mapping in your head that for example `a` means `Auction`. You could skip this mapping if you just named the variable `auction`.
Yep, Django's on_delete behaviour being implemented in Python instead of SQL has caught me out a few times over the years.
I often do `on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING, db_constraint=False` and add the on delete cascade constraint manually to the migration file. https://stackoverflow.com/a/78668897/288424
Same goes for `default. Prior to `db_default` I'd often edit the migration file and set the default in SQL.
