Personally, I like to work, and I like having more productive days. I also value freedom, flexibility, and autonomy. Being more productive doesn't negate my freedom. Having flexibility doesn't directly impact productivity. I'm unsure why the advent of AI has led to so many people publicly demanding....

Time is a precious resource for open source maintainers, especially if you aren’t doing it as part of paid work. The constant churn of changing development tools steals a huge chunk of that time. For example, I’m running NoFlo on a daily basis, but do changes to the library itself quite rarely. There were nearly six years between releases recently. The other day I wanted to add some functionality, and ran immediately to a huge set of ....

That's from the few pages of Tennyson's Idylls of the King that I read tonight. It describes a phenomenon that I think we've all experienced: saying a familiar word over and over until it seems strange.I've been reading a few pages of Idylls of the King every day. as....

Written by Lisa Vitello in her “New Harvest Homestead” newsletter from 2005 One of the most useful lessons I have learned over the years is the concept of making money by saving money. Our 25 years of marriage have been marked by financial ups and downs. When I was a young. first-time mother. I joined the La Leche League.

Originally penned in ARSH 2014. when we were all still young and naive. I’ve reworked references to the Antipopes. as even I hadn’t yet come to the moral certainty of the situation. specifically the Canonical invalidity of Pope Benedict’s failed attempted partial resignation. -AlphaBravo2026] So I’m getting all kinds of emails from people who feel (…)

This struggle dates back well over 100 years. Before 1900, the battle for the eight-hour day received great momentum at [...]

I’m lucky to live immediately adjacent to Point Reyes National Seashore in California and make frequent visits to indulge my photography hobby.
