Pro tip: When you are done configuring your home router, open the web interface and go through each section. Take screenshots and paste them in to Obsidian or your PKM system of choice. Maybe even go as far as making a note as to why you set something the way you did. You'll thank me later. #Obsidian #pkm
Unfortunately we had to put our dog down yesterday morning. It was one of the hardest things we have had to do but we know he is no longer suffering.

Here's a truth for you -- especially if you haven't hit your 40s yet, maybe not even your 30s.

The truth is this:

*Nobody* knows what the fuck they're doing.
If someone seems like they have their shit together, either they are presenting you with a completely false front, or they are in a season of The Total Occasional Fluke of Everything Apparently Going Right and Coming Together.

But what are we really doing? Nobody knows. WE'RE ALL JUST DOING WHAT WE CAN WITH THE TOOLS WE HAVE AT THE TIME.

If it matters I am also using obsidian sync #dataview #obsidian #ObsidianMD

Paramount kept their staff on hand to handle stressful conditions, surely kept lots of folks on-call to ensure the Superbowl could be streamed on their service, had record viewership numbers and then immediately laid off 800 of the people who helped give them that success the next day so that the executive leadership could pocket all the profits without sharing it with the labor force who built it.

Seriously. Eat the rich.

People who design APIs. I am begging you. It doesn't matter how "simple" or "intuitive" or "elegant" your API is. You need to include sample code.

STOP PUTTING STUFF INSIDE OF OTHER STUFF

* YEARS OF OBJECT HIERARCHIES and XML and JSON yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for putting a list of things inside a thing that is ALREADY IN A LIST OF THINGS

* "I like remembering how to index into this GIANT NESTED OBJECT", "What reading values out of a file really needs is A COMPLEX PARSER DEPENDENCY and EXTRA TYPE JUGGLING AT SYSTEM BOUNDARIES" - statements dreamed up by the least helpful nerd on Stack Overflow

THEY HAVE PLAYED US FOR ABSOLUTE FOOLS
