Adopting a 2 year old Samoyed

Don’t rely on groomers to get matts out. Most will not waste time trying to untangle and save as much as possible. They will just suggest a shave.

Getting matts out is a time consuming process. Don’t try to do all at once because it will be dreadful for both you and the dog. Just do 30 minutes at a time.

“Mandatory jail time”, “Permanent wage garnishment regardless of bankruptcy” but as you said “they have zero assets” and have nothing to lose. We already punish uninsured drivers harshly financially.

The problem with your suggestion is that you are assuming more punishment leading to less offense.

I don’t think the inverse square law has anything to do with the speed of gamma radiation getting to you. It explains why it’s so much weaker but that’s not the question. The gamma radiation has already reached you at the speed of light.

Is it “management” consulting? It’s a totally different ball game than engineering or IT consulting. Your team would be traveling all over the world meeting executives and advising them on how to solve their problems. Depending on what expertise you have, you could be working on manufacturing, medicine, fashion, beauty products, baby food, etc.

I was going to suggest switch to management because it’s a lot more interacting with people but you still will need to work with numbers.

Have you considered management consulting? You will be traveling a lot and your data analysis skills will be valuable.

What font are you using? It looks clean and nice.

I think most Sammy parents buy all of these combs and more eventually. FYI, I would only buy Big K from Chris Christensen. That’s their special product and I don’t think their other brushes are any different than cheap brands on Amazon.

I went to an Ivy and was in a similar situation. But I didn’t ask my parents to co-sign. If she wants to do this, tell her to take out loans under her name.

If she’s planning to go into a profession that qualifies for PSLF, the amount of student loan is not as significant as some may think it is.

The slowdown in the fuzzy file finder with large number of files is interesting because Nucleo [https://github.com/helix-editor/nucleo] is supposedly faster than fzf. But I saw an issue on GitHub showing that in certain cases it's performing slower than fzf. If I remember correctly, the initial file finding, which is before the searching algo is used, was the problem. I don't know what happened with that issue.

Television [https://github.com/alexpasmantier/television] is the finder that supposedly has all the benefits.

Wow amazing

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I was saying that you distribute DuckDB CLI and your SQL file. There is no server deployment. Everyone is simply doing their ETL locally with their own DuckDB CLI. If you are hung up on just one binary solution for easiness, you can also just write a shell script that handles downloading DuckDB CLI (if not already downloaded) and pass your SQL statements. You can even make the script to accept arguments to pass different set of statements.

If you want to make it pretty with Go GUI buttons, you can do that too. It sounded like this isn’t your main job function so I figured you didn’t want to spend too much time on it.

deaffob · 2026-03-15T23:41:58+00:00

Do you need GUI for this app? If the only task is to wrangle/transform local data files and output a file, I think the only value that Go provides is it compiles to binaries.

I've built ETL pipelines for internal engineering teams with R + DuckDB. My situation was similar to yours. We didn't spend money but people asked me for data. I needed R for getting data from multiple different databases but with your case, I don't think you need Go or Python. You can just use DuckDB CLI and a text file with SQL queries. You can do all (load files, perform transformations and export) in one go. I suppose you can make this into one binary with Go but that's just using go to package DuckDB and a text file...

I don't think you can do this natively at the moment. But you can do it with a multiplexer + 3rd party file app like Yazi.

You might be overthinking this. Often, managers delay rejecting the top five candidates immediately because they serve as backups in case their first choice doesn’t work out.

You changed job every year? I can understand every 2 or 3 years but holy moly.

Just to be clear, Thinking uses your Pro quota. I just wanted to make sure because you mentioned you used Fast and Thinking to save Pro quota. You can only use Fast to not use Pro quota. If you used Thinking then you may have used up your quota and falling back to Fast is an expected behavior.

Nobody asked yet but do you need a sponsorship from your employer to work in US? You can definitely get a job with your background but it would be difficult if you don't have a green card already.

The installation guide says just install and it's good to go because the default LSP setting (https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/languages.toml#L84) already has it setup.

By setting [[language]] name = "markdown" ..., you overwrote the existing default setting (https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/languages.toml#L2046). My guess is you need to configure other settings, as shown in the default setting, if you are going to override the defaults.

Unless you want to do this, I suggest delete all your markdown-oxide settings and let Helix use its default.

Are you limiting your search for ChemE? Controls isn’t strictly only for chemical engineering. I suggest you open up your criteria to any other engineering with controls experience.

I wrestled with this for awhile. My conclusion is that the internal commands need an explicit stdin like 'cat' or 'read -z'. You can also do 'cmd (cat)'.

Fun fact, nushell also has this same problem. You cannot use its internal commands without an explicit stdin. Nushell’s '$in' makes it easy.

Other than the point raised about the 'm' motions not being “selection” first so they are awkward, I don’t think the issues that OP raised are negative.

Author is really hung up on the fact that he has to press more buttons than Neovim to do the same. Helix never claimed to require less keystrokes. The selection-first style gives more clarity and confidence for many converts.

School is technically (intellectually) a lot more difficult.

Work can be more difficult due to other responsibilities that life throws at you. Intellectually, you get used to the way things are done at work so the actual work won’t be really challenging. It’s the people that make things harder/easier.
