So it’s big and diverse ecosystem with multiple standards to choose between

The problem isn’t that it’s missing something like cpan, it’s that there are ten incompatible ones to choose between

Remind me not to learn python. If I get into microcontrollers I shall use their C++ like language not micropython ;)

I really like the ability to dig up code from twenty years ago and just run it

Most bikes are stable and a cyclist can weight shift to turn gently without touching the handlebars

Mine is a recumbent that steers with long handlebars. The handlebars prevent the bike from balancing itself.

Yours might have barely stable geometry, or badly placed weight on the handlebars

Steering keeps you upright in the same way a broom handle balanced on your hand is kept up by moving you hand around

Gyroscopic effects are negligable

The worst is when the password manager (KeePass in this case) is in quick unlock mode in its default configuration “enter the last four characters of your password”

Me: like I can remember how my password ends. Just let me type the whole thing

How do you then activate cruise control for cool?

Working from home, connecting to a VM, you can use a password manager on your machine to log into the VM

And your home machine can be always logged on, or fingerprint unlock, or USB stick unlock or whatever

I had a boring job years ago. We didn’t have web access in the office, we did have a typing tutor program

I could already type

So I decided to learn to type again

So now I type on a dvorak layout except for the first login where I must use qwerty. About the time the password expires and must be changed I get to the point where it’s muscle memory in both layouts

I’m fairly sure I read that in high school. I took it as the man haunted by his own conscience, not at all traumatizing

Maybe I was older than the kids who were upset by it
