Connecter of dots. Performance optimization is my jam. I obsess over how to optimize systems. Formerly at HPE & now building crucible.energy where our mission is to make it fast, easy & affordable to use 100% clean resilient energy – 24/7/365
I got to see Peter Gabriel perform inside one of these, bouncing in time to music, on his Up tour.
Because it’s more profitable for insurance companies not to cover GLP-1 meds & because they can get away with it. Unless they’re forced to by law, insurance companies will do whatever they can to maximize profit by minimizing what they pay for. You didn’t think they cared about your health, did you?
On a related note, I’m watching S1 of Handmaid’s Tale & they’re looking at militia taking over their city streets with guns, then finally a purge. All along, they’re like, “Gee, what’s going on?” 🤷🏼♂️ I guess news & social media didn’t inform them of what was actually happening until it was too late 🤦🏼♂️
You’ve inherited a movie theater, what’s your first double feature? Dune (2021) & Dune 2 (2024)
JavaScript will happily hand you enough rope to hang yourself with & ask if you need a ball gag, too. One point of React is to limit options in order to make it easier to reason about state. Once you grok it, you realize those rakes exist to prevent you from stepping off a cliff 🧘🏻♀️
You can bludgeon iOS into recognizing terms, names, etc you use frequently by adding them yourself. Just go to Settings & search for “Text Replacement”. For example, in your case you can include “horser -> horserace”, then stand back & watch the magic happen 🧘🏻♀️
Say it after me: ChatGPT is now a search engine. It does scan the web for information, if you’re using any of the modern models (4o, o3, o4-mini-high, etc) & often does a great job of summarizing search results – but ALWAYS click through to verify that sources agree with the LLM’s characterization.
13 in the cap. If you include the opening to body of the shaker (visible through the holes of the outer hexagon), that makes 14.
I don’t know you, but for me it’s a bit disconcerting for any beverage to call me “Bro”
After many years of being petless, I now have a puppy. He’s a Newfie mix of some sort, a rescue from Alabama. At 15 weeks, he weighs 50 pounds. Rumor has it he may get a little bigger over time. Oh, also he has heterochromia, scary smart & the sweetest disposition of any dog I’ve met in my life 🫶🏼
If you’ve haven’t seen “The Eagle” (2011), you’re missing out. Channing Tatum, Jamie Bell, Donald Sutherland & Mark Strong (et al) are all ridiculously talented 🫶🏼
