Do you nap on days off?
  • The key to feeling refreshed is keeping them extremely short (think about 15 minutes tops), you need to wake up before hitting deep sleep or you have to wait for your next REM cycle to be over. It's admittedly pretty problematic when you have trouble falling asleep. My wife has this problem too, and she's a light sleeper on top, so naps don't work well for her. If I lay down for sleep, it happens in a matter of minutes, so a 15-20 minute power nap is easy and very efficient.

  • Do you nap on days off?
  • I nap whenever I both want to do it, and can do it. Since the first child, I gained newfound appreciation for sleep time. These last couple of weeks I've been taking a quick nap in-between dropping the youngest at daycare and starting my work day lol

  • In principle, could gravity be used to send a information from within a black hole's event horizon?
  • Reality never decouples, it's just always relative but our usual point of views are similar enoug that we typically ignore the difference. Time will fly slightly faster for an astronaut on the ISS, but we're talking nanosecond differences over long periods.

    From your POV, you fall into the black hole and that's it. From an external observer's POV, they see you falling slower and slower until you appear to stop at the event horizon then redshift to disappearance. The EH is just the description of the boundary where gravity becomes great enough that nothing can escape it.

  • "They already have your data"
  • Which generation is that? I'll be honest, I've yet to talk to someone who really gives a crap about where the content they're consuming is coming from. Hell, most people I've dealt with don't give a crap about content being pirated whenever it happens to be the more convenient option.

  • How can I get better at talking?
  • If you legitimately speak like xQc, the first thing I'd tell you is to slow the hell down. That guy would probably get as much information out in the same amount of time, but easier to understand, if he just didn't try speaking that fast. Last I heard it, even his québécois french was slurred.

    As to finding the right words when speaking, it tends to come with knowing your subject well enough, and having decent vocabulary.

    Past that, if you do struggle with the very act of translating ideas into the physical act of speaking, it could be a speech disorder which could likely benefit from speech therapy.

  • TIL: How The Zionist Billionaire Family Of Gilbert Bigio Has Ruled Haiti for Over 100 Years
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Bigio

    I mean, I haven’t watched the video. Guy however appeared in the Pandora papers. The Canadian government has sanctioned him for “gross and systematic human rights violations in Haiti and engaged in acts that threaten the peace, security, and stability of Haiti”. A quick search of his company (GB Group) seems to point to quasi-monopolistic practices on many Haitian markets. His father was sanctioned by the US as well in 91 around Aristide’s coup d’état. He is today Haiti’s one and only billionaire. He is also indeed a Zionist, even is honorary consul for Israel. What’s antisemitic about pointing any of that out?

  • Unexpected generation gap
  • My 7yo son definitely would have no idea about physical formats if he didn’t see my N64 cartridges sitting alongside the Switch lol. I had to explain to him that we had to buy or rent movies and games if we wanted them. Blew his mind.

  • `systemd` is all you need
  • Honestly, it’s just another shell. Both Bash and ZSH happen to be mostly POSIX compliant, so stuff that works for Bash tends to work with ZSH too. For me it’s mostly just about the stuff I can add to it - I use the antidote plugin manager to get additional autocomplete, syntax highlighting, suggestions, async prompt updates, that kind of thing.

  • Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically?
  • The answer is very location dependent, and often multifaceted. However here in Canada it’s a combination of neglecting affordable housing construction for decades, a huge uptick in immigration raising demand in some areas, a total lack of political willpower (most of our MPs report housing income, many actual landlords), and an economy that’s over-leveraged on real estate in general.

  • `systemd` is all you need
  • Yeah, it’s a good shell. I’ve found the lack of compatibility with some bash tools to be inconvenient enough that I just went back to zsh and found alternatives for the parts that I liked about it. Works well enough for me.

  • `systemd` is all you need
  • I feel you. It’s however gotten a lot better since I turned some of these commands into abbreviations. They’re aliases that expands in place, more or less. Fish has them natively, I personally use zsh-abbr.

  • Let's talk Ronnie Radke
  • Dude has been stuck in a high school drama queen phase since forever. Stir shit up, act like people were wrong for reacting negatively to said shit, rinse and repeat. His anti-woke BS is just the cherry on top, I’m not surprised he went this way at all.
