Thanks for sharing this work.


Or maybe instead of spending time with your dad on a bs menial task, you could spent time fishing with him…


It's nice to think that but life and relationships are also composed of the little moments, which sometimes happen when someone asks you over to help with a "bs menial task"

It takes five minutes to program the thermostat, then you can have a beer on the patio if that's your speed and catch up for a bit

Life is little moments, not always the big commitments like taking a day to go fishing

That's the point of automating all of ourselves out of work, right? So we have more time to enjoy spending time with the people we love?

So isn't it kind of sad if we wind up automating those moments out of our lives instead?


Well now it sounds like you are disagreeing for it's own sake. There may be a name for what you describe, but it's not what is commonly understood as Stoicism.

And in my many years, I have never found shouting at another person to be a healthy thing.


Well, I guess I’m here because of one of these miracle drugs. My kidneys would have crapped out year ago without it. I guess call me a fan…


You might take a look at [SciTE](https://scintilla.org/SciTE.html), a light weight wrapper around Scintilla, with lua scripting support. It’s been my non-IDE editor for years on Windows and Linux…


I love SciTE but it feels like a technical demo compared to Npp.


Thanks, I’ve been looking for something like this.


Who is going to be schlepping around external drives?


If I'm on a trip somewhere, I usually have a couple of small USB-C SanDisk 2TB drives for photo and video storage. I'm a photographer, and don't always have sufficient bandwidth to upload all of the photos I take via Lightroom - plus, I want a physical copy "just in case".

I suspect I'm just getting old :)


Even in Upper Michigan near Lake Superior we sometimes had stunn, colorful Northern Lights. Sometimes it seemed like they were flying overhead within your grasp


Most definitely, it's quite common to find people hanging around outside up towards Calumet whenever there's a night with a high KP Index.

I highly recommend checking them out if you're nearby, the recent auoras have been quite astonishing


I’m kind of glad it does this so I know that it understood what I asked. A good presenter will do this as well when responding to questions.


I almost always find it too verbose and unnaturally mimicy when bouncing the question back. It doesn't paraphrase my request. It's more like restating it.

What I notice most is that almost always repeats verbatim unnaturally long parts of my requests.

This might be more useful to people that do lazy prompting. My nature compels me to be clear and specific in all written text.


In answer to your first question, in the field that would be the primary blast door, a penetration that went through the capsule to a chamber with another larger blast door out to the elevator. At the other end of this chamber is the passage to the generator room. We were obviously equipped to go quite some time “off-grid”.

I am assuming the view is from one of the training simulators which are used exact, suspended control centers with a viewing window.

We had no maps in the capsule. Any targeting we did was normal 3-d coordinates, technically we really did not have a “need to know” where the coordinates were located.


Thanks! If you look to the left, from the hallway, then go to the very left corner and look right there's a paper map on the wall with circles all over it. Was curious what that was. In my absolute ignorance it looks like one of those "nukes will explode this far" sort of maps but I can't tell if it's actually a map of land or a system design thing.
