Cercle has good sessions

https://youtube.com/@Cercle

Cercle was a sanity saver during COVID times. I discovered a few different artists through that and am going to see some of them this year.

Seconded.

Via cercle I was introduced to Miss Monique, whose wonderful progressive trance sets and amazingly infectious smile and joy has become my "right, time to do the work" background video.

Ahhh birds of a feather.. Huge fan of Cercle and Miss Monique.

Here's one I've been listening to - you may enjoy :)

On the classical I do enjoy Bach, cello concierto (Fournier recordings) and orchestral suites (Koln)

I loved ditto when I used windows. Do you know a good ditto alternative for mac?

I don’t know if I’m the only one, but when I used ditto I turned off the auto cleanup stuff. Basically I had it keep everything. I’d go cleanup manually every now and then (especially images), but having a very long term way to look up past code snippets was invaluable.

So then when I got my first Mac I felt lost without a clipboard manager with unlimited storage. I finally found Copy’em and my life has been complete again. :)

A quick Googling found this, and it looks similar:

I have been using https://github.com/Clipy/Clipy

I haven't used ditto myself, but pastepal seems like what you want

Lately, some of the chiller shows from cercle. E.g. [1]

Before that, lots of post-rock sprinkled with some infected mushroom according to my mood that day

The -v flag didn't work in my WSL.

This worked:

   $ ncal -b -M -A2
       June 2022             July 2022            August 2022

   27 28 29 30           25 26 27 28 29 30 31  29 30 31

-v didn't work on 12.1.7+nmu3ubuntu1 and -M does nothing seemingly. `ncal -b -A2` looks very good.

-M sets the first day of the week to Monday. If in your locale the weeks already begin on Monday you are not going to see much difference on the output.

Ah, my bad. I'm on Arch and it packages cal, not ncal. Wasn't familiar with it and it looks like the flags are different. Because why not...

This is one of the key ideas behind the book Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss [1]. I found the book quite enlightening if you peek through all the hostage negotiation stories.

That was awesome, thanks!

Can't recommend enough the Intelligence Squared episode on Brave New World vs 1984

https://www.intelligencesquared.com/events/brave-new-world-v...

That debate seems pretty misguided. Why does it have to be one or the other and not aspects of both?

Fun fun function has helped me to find the joy in programming javascript. Kudos to him!

Come work on the same monstrosity that I am working with, that will help it disappear again.
