I finally bit the bullet and have started to use dictation software more often, even outside of just my prompts. I really like it. Hopefully, computer use becomes much smoother soon. I would love to be able to control my computer with just my voice.
My 3yr old woke up at 5am this morning crying - not terribly uncommon - and when I went in there to check on her she just said "daddy's here" without looking at me and went back to sleep
My 3yo woke up at midnight fully believing that I was about to walk out the door and go to work.

I always associate summer with the months June, July, August โ thinking that end of August is end of summer โ but no, 7th of August is actually summer midpoint, weโre in the middle now, not near the end.

So I found the blog of a Ukrainian Front Line soldier on Bear Blog today. Incredibly grim stuff to read, but I really wanna get in touch with that guy now and send him so cash so he can buy a burger. Hope Herman forwards my message ๐ช
Ordered JBL Charge 6, waiting for delivery today. Will mount into my bike and will listen to music while commuting 25km to the office. I'm a victim of marketing, seeing an ad, buying stuff.
Previously bought Do Nothing Club cap after friends visiting us and we discussed it while eating pizza; and then my wife got an AD on Instagram. Meta is listening for conversations to sell ads.
Switching from Claude Max to Team, cc was trivial, just another login, but Claude Desktop and on iOS holds sessions in the cloud so need to move them somehow.
How can I change an organisation with hundreds of frustrated employees, when I canโt change my own life with only one person.
Does a different person run a company and a different person live their life? I doubt it.
I think so, actually.
My wife runs my household, I run my engineering org.
As I get older I do see the two aspects of my personality start to merge but they are still divergent and were much moreso in my earlier years.
and to be clear, I don't mean that I offload all the work to her by any stretch. It's just that I'm much more outspoken and opinionated on the specifics of work life versus home life.
Thanks, I use a Kinesis Advantage 2 and itโs a big help. Iโve found avoiding holding down keys, with thumbs or otherwise, has been the biggest help.
ouhh bet thats nice. im rocking some 50โฌ aliexpress print/pcb that i put some old switches/caps onto. legitimately impressed, best keyboard i ever used, never going back to traditional kbs.

I've been building a Markdown variant called Zd that's focused on extensibility and simplicity. I'm curious what you would change about Markdown if you were designing it from scratch, what challenges you face as a user, or what you wish were easier to do when incorporating Markdown into your own projects.
Yeah, 100%. That is completely something I am punting on currently. It would be easy to just copy over the solution from (extensions to) Markdown, but it's hard to entirely narrow in on both what tables ought to do and how to make them do it.
If you had a magic wand, what would you have them be more like?
