Anybody find anything like this? If it doesn't exist I may build it. I want to be able to engage with this tech without it feeling like a black hole trying to suck me in.

(Prompted by me reading "Digital Minimalism" (amazing!) by Cal Newport).

Anybody relate?

-priorities human emails and replies from people I clearly know

- helps me get in and get back out

Gmail is awful at this because their incentive is to keep you in the inbox.

Some features I want:

- will notify me ONLY for emails I am watching for and really care about (think a reply to a job application) but downgrades all the noise.

- batches updates I want but that aren't very important (like Amazon delivery emails)

-maybe does a time-delay lock

Anybody have an email/bluesky client or practice that specifically helps boost the signal and downgrade the noise?

Essentially I'm looking for something that helps me get in and get out and not check it too frequently (the opposite of what twitter, facebook, gmail all want).

Better! The last one reminded me of blonde woman’s hair (from a game maybe? Can’t remember).

How would it look with simple eye dots?

And / or mouth?

What does the bottom line represent? The mouth? A smile?

Anybody else unhappy with project search? Either from terminal or vscode. I always feel like taking action on results is too clumsy. Built a POC.

First feature: quickly narrow results by file type.

Is there something here? Or am I inventing a problem to solve?

and move them outside immediately. Then reward the behavior of going outside.

When they can keep the small area dry, you start giving them bigger and bigger space gradually. But esp at the young age, you watch them if they aren't in their crate or small area. Regularly take them out for pee breaks

Crate training worked wonders for us. Dogs don't pee/poop where they sleep. So you have them in the crate a lot. Then keep them confined to a small area. We had our puppy in a 5'x5' area with a washable potty-proof dog blanket. When you see them starting to go yell "ah" then pick them up...

imo just take 10-30min a day and start reading it, and you can implement some of it w/o even changing process.

For me the shaping & appetite ideas are really the most powerful. Now in convos I have with people I'm constantly encouraging them to consider their appetite and shaping tasks properly

I've been reading it actively for last month or so. LOVE LOVE LOVE esp in the context of side projects / indie hacking.

Trying to sneak it more into work (esp with self-directed work) as well. Huge fan so far

Welcome @adafruit.com ! I'm curious, do you have any insights or thoughts on this?

Also the fact that you are having story arcs (and villains/allies) that span several movies is just 🧑‍🍳👌 (chef's kiss).

Honestly, I LOVE Mission Impossible from MI3 on. The last few especially (Rebecca Ferguson was an amazing addition). How have you managed to make the tail end (especially) such high quality and good writing? Bucking the cheapquel trend. Because Tom just LOVES movies and he cares?

Fancy house you have there 😁

@jamund.bsky.social I wonder though, is stuff like this just the cost of upgrading modules to ESM? Hard to support cjs and esm, so you move forward when you can? I suppose TS makes a lot of this easier with build output.

ah nm. Not an esm issue. Turns out https://github.com/krakenjs/caller returns a path prefixed with `file:` when it's called from esm in node. Easy enough to fix.

Whereas with cjs path.resolve('./test') resolves nicely:/Users/jacharles/dev_xo/shush/test With node v16 it seems like there's no easy way to check for esm vs cjs within the module either... so strange. @jamund.bsky.social you have any wisdom?

I love node + esm but I'm genuinely surprised how often I still have to spend hours trying to figure out compat issues with. Latest issue: path.resolve() with esm gives me a file in the middle of my path:
/Users/jacharles/dev_xo/shush/file:/Users/jacharles/dev_xo/shush/testStill hunting this down

Ah interesting! Where did you get your first contact with hardware? Was it positive? I have too many ideas and my ADD makes me want to jump back and forth and back and forth...

The "hello world" on an MCU is making an LED blink. The nice thing with this board is that there's an on-board LED that you can control. How do you control it? You use the Arduino IDE to write some (simple) C code, then you upload this "firmware" to the board via the IDE. Then it runs. Magic!

@mcq.bsky.social if you don’t mind sharing, why delete old tweets?

Haha amazing. Thanks!

what makes the difference between a “good” or “bad” movie. I always assumed the director. But I sometimes see the same director make 2 movies. 1 is cheesy, uninspired dialogue and unrealistic fight scenes. The other is clever, genuine and amazing. The writing?

I asked this on Twitter a few years ago and loved your answer. Could never find it later (deleted I think) so I’ll ask here again:

A microcontroller zoomed in close. Basically like a microchip.

This is a microcontroller (MCU). Kind of like a small computer on a single small board. Calculators (and many other devices) use microcontrollers.

The MCU is a great way to dip your toe into hardware.

Soon I'll be posting videos to give a gentle intro into hardware (as I learn).

So this was your first touchpoint / intro into hardware? You find it pretty easy or was it painful?

Yeah I get that. I published a PluralSight course on redux 4(?) years ago, and just now the payments are dropping a lot. Thankfully that API really didn't change much. After publishing I didn't want to go anywhere near it.

Did I get that right? Is there a technical way to verify compliance or would it be more user-report and flagging?

Interesting! So this is like (to borrow star trek terminology) the federation (pun intended) where those common servers agree to a shared set of (by)laws and enforce them. And those who don't agree are the Klingon (etc) empire and get the dark web / unsafe labeling (there be monsters here).

Thanks for all your amazing work! I'm curious: If somebody sets up their own server does that change how blocking / likes etc works across servers? Are they free to disable/ignore blocking/blocks if they want to (not advocating for that)? Or are those really just implementation details?

Amazing work.
