The original Castlevania animated show was good, shame about the Warren Ellis situation. Would have loved to see him write Nocturne as well (which was fun but just had a much weaker script).
One suggestion from David Allen that I always liked--mind you I'm not a David Allen afficionado in general--is that if you can do something in 5 minutes, just do it rather than add it to a to-do list. Mind you, 5 minutes can end up taking a lot longer but I find it useful advice in general.
This is close to the Never Go to Zero idea. Especially for recurring tasks, do the minimum, every time. It is probably less than 5 minutes. It's one push up. Just the warmup or tuning. Boot the machine. Open the file. Either more will follow or you'll stop for some reason. But you never skip or push the thing to some other time because that will just lead to more skipping and usually quitting.
It was a general metaphor but a reference to Windsurf. On the boomerang side, Noam Shazeer went on to do Character AI and came back via acquisition only to leave again to OpenAI.
Am I the only one who thinks the "reverse sear" is like cheating? It takes out all of the skill when you move from the pan to the oven, and I lose all of the fun in learning to be chef.
People are allowed to use tools and non-traditional techniques, even when it feels like cheating. They needn't be chastised for this.
The gestapo isn't going to kick in the door and haul folks away for using reverse-sear and a meat thermometer while they cook a steak in their own kitchen.
(And everyone is free to seek their own kind of masochistic pride, if that behooves them. When a person has better satisfaction [or whatever they get out of it] from doing things the hard way, then that's OK too.)
Pretty hard to be criticizing someone severely if I'm not even speaking to them specifically, don't you think? You're making a mountain out of a mole hill.
I'm entitled to my opinion, which I self-described as a bad hot take.
Sounds like you're the one specifically reprimanding me here? Oops...
How can articles on major news sites have typos this bad up for over a month?
"The crisis in France has claimed dozens of lives, with 40 people drowning while attempting to call off from the heat since June 18"
Call off should be "cool off".
And forgive me if this is a stupid question, but don't nuclear power plants produce enough energy that they could power their own cooling? Why do they have to rely on the free cooling provided by a river?
