I was a little worried that by attenuating the physical symptoms in this way that I was reducing the efficacy of the vaccine. After a little bit of research, all signs point to this not being the case. The antihistamine just lessons the symptoms the vaccine causes.

For the last two covid shots, I've taken a Claritin right after the shot, and the difference in the intensity and the duration of the symptoms has been remarkable. I wasn't sure until after the second time doing this that it was a placebo. It still might be but probably not!

found the dang std::thread::sleep that was hitching up my app that i recently converted (but apparently missed this) to async rust.

i wish there were a better way to detect this. i did spin up tokio console hoping to see stalled polls but it was infrequent enough that maybe it didn't register..

my roborock vacuum wasn't working great, so i emptied the dustbin for the first time in three months. i also turned it over and there were cat toys in the rollers, preventing them from moving at all πŸ˜‚

totally understandable but it would have been cool for the robot to tell me things were sideways.

Thank you for posting this. I have been using it for the past couple of days and it has been a huge productivity boost. Oddly enough maybe more so for me versus the agent as it is incredibly easy to record tasks as I think of them and later connect them.

You can't say "peace out" at the Pentagon anymore. You have to say "war out"

spent about 45 minutes tracking down why my app was logging 401 errors but the browser was not seeing the 401s.

I was using Option::or_else(my_401_macro!(...))? 🀦

So the macro which returns a 401 after emitting a tracing log was always getting evaulated b/c I wasn't using a closure.

my dead man's switch program is coming along nicely. added a react/axum web ui, google oauth, multi-tenancy, etc. i don't hack on it much, but when i do, it's fun.

I had to give up the wax game due to the one I was obsessed with becoming unavailble. It was an etsy seller, so kind of understandable, but I didn't want any others after I had experienced that one.
