I also find that cooking = grazing for me, more often than not. Being conscious of it has helped me keep it in check a little bit, but it’s still a thing.

Can someone explain Kubernetes to me?

There’s plenty of confusing stuff in the NFL catch rule, but the “Calvin Johnson Rule” — if you’re going to the ground in the process of making a catch, you can’t lose control and let the ball hit the ground — is just about the least confusing thing in the whole rule. It’s a dumb rule, but every NFL fan should know…

Question about giving cash. If you’re giving $50+, do you give large bills, or use $20s?

Really? That hasn’t been my experience. But then again, I spent a lot more time in churches, bars, and family gatherings when I was in Boston than I do now that I’m in SF, so I may have a skewed view of things.

Old hockey trick: one way to tell someone is trying to snow you with math is to count the parentheses and see if they match. These don’t, and the math really isn’t that hard.

+1 to the yubikey. SO much better than the alternatives.

I ride a big ol’ slow bike, with fenders and a kickstand and a kid seat on the back. If you ride fast, and I’m stopped in front of you at a light, go ahead and shoal. But if you do, you’d damn well better get off the line with some quickness when the light turns green.

Seems like a good time to remind people that if you’re not paying for a service, you’re the product. And in this case, you’re a product who’s handing over EVERY SINGLE EMAIL YOU EVER GET to some random service.

I doubt the A’s would want to move to San Jose now, though. San Jose is where the money was for a while, but Oakland is booming now (in the make-everything-too-expensive-for-the-people-who-live-there sense of “booming.”) The A’s objective in their stadium search is to be gifted a giant valuable piece of real estate…

Yes. Bitcoin would be better — as a store of value, as a unit of account, and and a medium of exchange — if it slowly crept up in price.

I think that’s part of it; I also think there’s some built-in resistance to calling a game owned by a single company a “sport,” in part because that company inevitably changes the game year after year to squeeze more money out of it, instead of promoting kind of stability that allows people to invest in its…

The switch from frozen to made-in-house patties reminds me of ~20 years ago when mass-market restaurants switched from lettuce salads to mixed green salads. In the hands of talented chefs, the results were a step up from a pile of lettuce and a few shreds of carrot, but in the hands of 19-year-old line cooks who…

Yeah, I’d imagine it’s tough to tell someone “Your predecessor had an office, but you won’t.” Companies that came of age in the open office era and have never had offices for executives can get away with a lot more on that front. And if the CEO is in meetings most of the day, anyway, he can keep his desk in the middle…

I regularly sit on my hands to make them regain feeling.

Of course, that would require having an office with a door...

This is the kind of list I’d like to see. I feel like there should be a couple of additional categories, maybe something like intentional carelessness/recklessness (e.g. pulling out into an intersection when your view is blocked or driving too fast for the conditions). I’d be curious how…

Some of these categories seem like they overlap. I’d imagine that most rear-end or “not staying in your lane” accidents also involve loss of vehicle control. Not a lot of people say, “oh, yeah, I meant to drive into the back of that car.” (Also, falling asleep at the wheel generally leads to losing control of the car…
