No more guilt from streaks or missed days.

Simpler backoff

Exponential backoff with jitter is de rigeur for making service calls. This code, or something like it, probably looks really familiar: func do(ctx context.Context) error { const ( maxAttempts = 10 baseDelay = 1 * time.Second maxDelay = 60 * time.Second ) delay := baseDelay for attempt := range maxAttempts { err := request(ctx) if err == nil { return nil } delay *= 2 delay = min(delay, maxDelay) jitter := multiplyDuration(delay, rand.

Things You Can Do To Make Your #Life #Simpler
1. Don’t keep people in your life for superficial reasons
2. De-clutter. Mentally and physically
3. Cancel unnecessary subscriptions
4. Just say No
5. Use that calendar on your smartphone
6. Ignorance is bliss. The lesser you know, the lesser problems you have
7. Ask questions when you are not sure about something
8. Focus on one thing at a time
9. Don’t hang on to stuff
10. Stop running after perfection, and let things be normal
I yearn for simpler times like when a good portion of the internet believed Yoda loved chicken nuggets when he was a baby …
#starwars #internet #simpler

One of my favorite lessons highlighted by both taoism and the sport of curling is, despite our lifelong indoctrination that more is better, and desire for more is better, and the rejection of anything but more is better, that subtraction is as useful a tool in making a meaningful life as addition.

A little energy spent removing obstacles, removing obligations, and removing sources of frustration goes farther than just heaping more onto a life that's already feeling bogged down.

#less #simpler

Dear friends and bots, 🦞

Can you tell the difference? It used to be a lot #simpler. Often I find bots #provide #helpful info or quotes that are useful. People are much messier, #complex, #multilayered and to be preferred. Or not?  

However, if as messy/messianic and #chameleon natured as the average #wer-lobster, then what?  

Best to:
- use #uncommon #sense (if available)  
- gibber for no #apparent #reason  
- wear a tin foil hat for the aliens to tune in to our #brain weaves (as necessary)  

... meanwhile, in a galaxy not so far away:

1. Mx #Information available
2. Bubble meet pin
3. All roads also lead away from Rome
4. Own space, own home, own #rites

Have a great day everyone who is able or not abled. Support #kin, #neo and a better Matrix of #tech-savvy #rebellion. Resistance is feudal. #Assimilate the Borg ...
More and longer week endings ...
