I have just realized that "I'd be down for that" and "I'd be up for that" mean the same thing 😮

I'm not entirely sure that I am. I've fried thick slices so they develop a crust. The result is tasty enough, but not great.

Sep 21, 2020, 3:16 PM -04:00I finished A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers recently. I loved it. There’s something very lovely about Becky Chambers’ sci-fi – it’s much more touching and emotional than a lot that I’ve read. I felt quite emotional at the ending of this one – it’s so full of heart and compassion. -

Maybe you could just say "hello", but with a French accent :-) I'm only half-joking. If the language you're using doesn't have a word for the concept you wish to express, I sort of feel like you're justified in borrowing a word from another language.

There's "salut" which means "hi" but considered to casual to greet your neighbors, especially if you live in a big building and don't know them by name. So you basically have to know what time it is before greeting them. (plus it's not like there's an official cut-off) -

Sep 8, 2020, 11:10 PM -04:00 It's funny how I can suspend my disbelief about most things in movies or on TV except when people in restaurants order "a beer" or "a whiskey". People never do this! They're always more specific.

Jul 9, 2020, 9:00 AM -04:00How my blogroll gets generated (now completely automatic!)
Yesterday I teased a new post about how I automated my blogroll generation by writing a Go script and using the Miniflux API. Here it is.Up until yesterday, I always updated my blogroll manually. I wrote about that process here. It was a bit of automation but not completely automated. I fixed that and now do what Robert van Bregt suggested or what Jan Boddez does with his WordPress plugin.To generate my site I use a self-hosted instance of Drone CI (I already wrote about that a few times) wit... -

In 2018, I started working at Bloomberg. Things have changed a lot since. I’m not the most junior member in the company anymore and I’ve mentored quite a few new engineers, which has been amazing. It helped me observe how others differ from me, absorb their best practices, and figure out things I’ve unconsciously been doing pretty well. Yearly work reviews are a good way to condense these lessons I’ve learned. They’re valuable for pattern matching, too. Only when I zoom out do certain patte... -

Sep 2, 2020, 10:06 PM -04:00 On Carrots in Tomato Sauce
Not long ago, I joined an Italian cooking group on Facebook. I thought it would be a good opportunity to pick up some tips and recipes. I left the group a couple of months later, after some members became...oh, let's call it "agitated"...over whether Sunday ragu was a "sauce" or a "gravy".
It sounds like a joke, doesn't it? Personal attacks stemming from disagreements over culinary terminology seem like such a cartoonish Italian stereotype that you almost think it just can't be true. Or maybe you just don't want it to be.
