Thank you for this -- I needed a laugh today. I do have to say that we visited Zion in Nov and it was amazing -- beautiful weather and no crowds. I think it's all about timing.

This is hilarious. Well done!

Somewhat similar situation here, but I use a .diff file:

! heading here

+ item to do here

- item completed here

the !+- prefixes auto-highlight/colorize in editors. I use Sublime Text.

Looks great! Cool idea and a very clean interface. One note on the website: the "Calendar / Todo / Project" nav buttons throw 404 errors when clicked.

This looks really great. I love the presentation style. Clean and simple. Nice work!

Very cool! One note: the random sample marked: 'Using a string "true" instead of a boolean true' leaves "true" as a string after parsing, instead of converting to an actual boolean.

Thanks for clarifying. I understand this is a bit different, but if folks are using vim, the best resource (in my opinion) for novices is vimtutor. Just type "vimtutor" in the console. It uses an interactive tutorial to explain the basics of editing, saving, moving around — plus the various modes.

What's wrong with using :q ?

* update my hosts file to block sites that suck me in (youtube, reddit and maybe even this one).

* listen to music with no vocals. For whatever reason, vocals distract me from thinking. I often use brain.fm or a "synthwave" set of songs on Spotify.

* write my ideas for architecture/code down on paper and check them off one-by-one. Then handwriting helps me.

Good luck!

Love this. Reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut's "make your soul grow" letter to high school kids - https://news.lettersofnote.com/p/make-your-soul-grow

My ATT Phone is in SOS mode. However, ATT's outages status reports:

  > All clear! No outages to report.
  > We didn’t find any outages in your area. Still having issues?

Great article. Love the interactivity. One thing that really helped me understand CSS positioning (and centering) years ago was reading about the box model. Understanding the box model helps you determine flow within the DOM. The `display` and `position` CSS properties are also fundamental to learning about positioning. MDN has great articles on these!

This looks great. I spend a good amount of time each week grepping through Kubernetes log files. Looking forward to trying this out next week. I particularly like the pretty-print and merge options.

I have a Flexispot standing desk. Before I purchased, I was concerned about how sturdy the desk would be in standing mode — but it's actually sturdier than my old sitting desk. I love it. Look for sales. They have quite a few throughout the year. Their optional accessories do seem overpriced though. I attached a cheap ikea wire shelf underneath to hold all the cables instead of buying a $50 "Cable Management Mesh"

Great, but this is a private boarding school. I'm more concerned about the (over) use of Chromebooks in public schools. It's trivial for kids to tab over to Youtube or a gaming site in the middle of class. I would've done the same thing if I'd been given a laptop for 6 hours a day in school. When I see my kids trying to write math equations or use a virtual ruler/compass to do math homework, it really pains me. Let's go back to writing things by hand.

The article addresses this here:

> Early school starts are not the only cause of teenage drowsiness, but they are a crucial factor—especially because natural sleep cycles make it difficult for post-puberty teenagers to fall asleep before 11 p.m.

Really interesting write-up and some funny rants about Apple/Spotify. I'd never heard the term "PP3 battery" before. Wikipedia tells me that this is the standard rectangular 9V/0.5 Ah battery you can buy at the store (in the US, at least). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-volt_battery

Great visualization! For those in the Northeast US, Cherry Springs State Park in PA is a wonderful place to visit for night viewing (and camping). It's one of the best places (darkest night sky) on the eastern seaboard for stargazing. We camped there in the summer and saw the Milky Way like I'd never seen before. Be sure to look at the moon phases when planning -- try to plan for a new moon so you have a dark sky: https://www.dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/CherrySpringsSt...

Someone needs to run a `git blame` on that line of code!
