finding a therapist is simple, just contact 50 people, 25 are no longer in network despite their listing, 15 don't answer, 5 have switched to $600/hr life coaching, 2 don't like your vibe, one now only does pets. the one you pick will stop responding and you go with the other one

According to a new study by David Rozado, there has been a big increase in news headlines suggesting fear, anger, disgust, and sadness since 2000, and especially since about 2010. Journalists are pushing your buttons.

I agree with his points re: TypeScript enums.
But also, TIL about `as const` assertions in TS. While using const to declare a variable lets the language knows it can't be reassigned. `as const` lets TS know that the value is readonly and can't be extended either.

Const objects are better than enums in TypeScript.
First, they're real JS syntax, and I generally like to use only the type features of TypeScript.
Second, they can be composed and decomposed in a type-safe way, so you can build "enums" from other "enums"...
Here's an example:
In all fairness to him, that is the most effective form of cyber-security. He's air gapped.

And whenever you’re on-call asking questions the person deploying is like “Don’t worry, bro. It’s fully tested, bro.”

I guess I'm ahead of the curve at 30yo. Add to it a bank you've sworn you'll never use again.

Cant seem to sleep. Let's see if the bright light of my phone containing all the information in the entire world held inches away from my face for the next 15 minutes manages to lull me into a peaceful slumber.
Case in point, I need to cancel a subscription. While they're prompting me to get information to navigate their phone system, as soon as I said "cancel" they literally said, "Sorry, this phone line is no longer active and hung up."

What? We're going back and cleaning up local git branches?
Quote Tweet
Random question, how do you determine which local git branches you can delete?
I've done `git branch --merged` my entire career, but now I've worked at a few places that squash on merge and this doesn't work because the commit hashes get lost in the squash.

it is not the future we we were promised.
Quote Tweet
The world is full of real, bad news.
But I think the whole news ecosystem—journalists, producers, editors, and even readers/sharers—should think hard about whether we are complicit in creating an environment that drives unnecessary + maladaptive anger, sadness, and hopelessness.

This is an underappreciated component of the surveillance debate. When folks in the US/Europe push for targeted surveillance capabilities (secure in the conviction that their own courts won’t let them be misused), the resulting tech gets used everywhere.

Never knew this – this is one of those tiny design details that irks you but you've resigned to it. Not anymore.

i think i've shared this tip before but if your font supports it, you can use `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums` in your CSS to keep your numerals the same width and prevent shifting layout.Show this thread
