I should take another look into it. Thanks!

Web assembly isn't quite the same as a js frontend though, is it?

It's typically for complex single page apps and has some weirdness with normal usecases, no?

I could be wrong but I was looking into it a few months ago and it seemed immature.

a front-end language

I love rust but this requires killing the web app and using basic html. which i'm also pro.

I find I can leverage this sometimes.

Years ago in college, I lamented to a classmate of mine that I feel like i was doing so much thinking all weekend but had nothing to show for it. He simply responded "That's called research, and that counts".

Now, although i'm far from efficient, I try to use that rapid thinking time to sort out all the loose strings in my mind, essentially polishing ideas over and over again until my "what-ifs" are paired down and in the last hour of work I can sometimes get myself into a hyperfocus and accomplish what I was thinking about all day.

Totally not a blanket solution but I hope it helps someone reframe their thoughts a bit, maybe help them feel less guilty about holding all this in their head.

Also TAKE NOTES. Obsidian is great, you can link your ideas together, extra pages are free, the canvas tool is great to just tie ideas together.

I had an old arch install about 7 years ago that stopped booting, so I booted into ubuntu, mounted the ssd, used a chroot to fix it, forgot to unmount the ssd, proceeded to rm the mount dir as it was "temporary". It took me mere seconds to realize what I did and by then it was a lost cause. I was able to use a file recovery tool to grab my precious memes, but thankfully there wasn't much else valuable on the drive.

Its not dead simple but its also not extremely complex.

I'm currently working with some interns and there's just concepts they were never exposed to. Without decent mentoring, git can be difficult because a lot of the workflow does come with experience.

That being said everyone needs to stop acting like its an impossible task to properly do source control. There is some truth that if you don't care enough to do your source control, you don't care enough to write decent code. Its not a moral failing, just take some pride in your craft.

Show the newbies how to care and they'll care enough to want to do it right. Measure twice, cut once and all that.

I bought a super cheap classic and did a flash mod, battery upgrade, and bluetooth mod.

The bt mod only came after I went back to wired headphones and experienced the rage of having earbuds ripped out when the wire hooks onto things. I was a bt earbud hater for a bit but the freedom is somethin else.

It does suck a lot to load music onto it, I've tried foobar2000 and a linux option. the former is better but windows, if you switch around you need to re-sync the entire ipod, which over slow USB2 is a many hour endeavor.

The simplicity of not being distracted by a notification when you go to change a song is undefeated.

DAE DMV?

Every time I hear someone complain about the DMV, USPS, etc, I assume they're being difficult to the workers. Every experience I've had with these kind of government services, I read up ahead on what I need, organize my shit, and show up prepared with a smile.

When I do that you see a wave of relief over the worker and they return the smile and respect. You can basically extrapolate the verbal abuse they deal with all day long.

With my secret method(being nice and respectful), every USPS worker I've interacted with has either been very friendly, or neutral but relieved.

Leave our brave troops alone goddamnit, be nice to them.

Shooting children through a fence has been a pretty good strategy for Israel, why not give that one a go?
