I wouldn’t entirely trust it, but enabling this feature in strict mode would tick a few of your listed boxes.

I recently drove eight hours on a trip. It’s brutal, but you’ll be fine.
Yes, going to the gym can be fun. Once you start feeling better and seeing results, there is a feedback cycle that makes you want more.
You should buy a pair of gym shorts and have a spare tshirt for working out.
Without knowing your goals it is hard to tell you what to do when you arrive to the gym. Typically you check in by scanning your card. If you don’t want to change at the gym, show up in your shorts and shirt ready to work.
So now you’ve entered the gym with some proper attire, then what? If you don’t have a plan, a good default is to limber up by stretching for a bit. Then find your favorite cardio machine and warm up on that, maybe for 15 mins or so.
Then you can do what you please. Go lift weights, continue with the cardio, play a game like basketball with some people; variety is the spice of life.
If you don’t know how to lift weights, there are tons of resources out there ranging from books and YouTube to personal training.
Circuit training on machines is a great way to get started, especially if you don’t have someone to work out with.
Home training is ok, but you have to have a lot of discipline to not end up on your phone or the couch. Going to a gym, especially with a workout partner, seems to work best for me.
I feel like weed Whacker/Eater are brands like Kleenex. In my head it is a string trimmer.
I usually say “I’m going to trim the yard”.
Hudson, now there is a name I haven’t heard in a very long time.
It really comes down to the calculus of how much I like them vs what did they actually do (with some things being truly unforgivable).
For example, Sylvester Stallone recently came out in big support of Trump. To me, that makes him a huge ass. That said, I’ll still watch Rocky 4 if it comes on (all the while, in the back of my head thinking “wow, really, Trump… that’s your guy?”). So my perception of him and his movies change, but also it’s his right to be an idiot.
In the same vein, Rob Schneider has recently made his whole personality a bitter old conservative "comic’. He really brings little of value to the table, so he can easily be dismissed. His value/drama ratio isn’t worth giving him the time of day – we’ll outside of this example.
I can’t totally divorce the person from their content, but I try when their stuff is great and what they did isn’t too repulsive.
Yeah honestly I debated putting that one in. Under the Bridge is a solid song, and flea and the drummer are independently good.
Honestly just wanted to remind people he admitted to dating a 16 year old when he was 24.
You have to be incredibly good at something for me to ignore you being an asshole. There are also certain things that are unforgivable even if the art is good.
It’s like Cosby was funny, but he drugged and raped people, so it’s hard to laugh at him now.
Recently switched to a new contract, which resulted in me switching from IDEA Ultimate to vscode. This picture is terribly accurate.
In intellij I usually do code reviews by checking out the code and comparing the branch to origin/main to step through the changes. Just a right click menu option to compare branches.
I took for granted that this is just a thing IDEs should do, so I looked in vain for a while before googling it and finding out I need a plugin for that. (If I’m wrong please help me find the button, I still believe it must be in there somewhere. Surely the owners of GitHub can compare branches?)
Kevin Spacey. Bill Cosby. Danny Masterson. Steven Tyler. Anthony Kedis.
They are all gross now that I know more about them; some moreso than others.
I know this one weird trick to avoid this…
A lot of companies have been doing this for years. AWS literally sells this as a service: https://www.mturk.com/
If you are searching by a primary key or other indexed id you should be fine. Here are a couple of articles to check out:
https://www.atlassian.com/data/databases/how-does-indexing-work
https://www.red-gate.com/simple-talk/featured/postgresql-indexes-what-they-are-and-how-they-help/
The TLDR is a where clause that hits an index doesn’t have to go through all the rows in the table.
I plan on being dead then, so do what you want with my digital wake.
“They simply go through the whole table”… that’s the problem. A full table scan should be avoided at all costs.
Learn: how to run and read an explain plan, indexes, keys, constraints, and query optimization (broadly you want to locate individual records as quickly as possible by using the most selective criteria).
You also need to learn basic schema design and to familiarize yourself with normalization.
Avoid processing huge result sets in your application. The database is good at answering questions about data it contains. It isn’t just a big bucket to throw data into to retrieve later.
That’s how I treat them. Maybe with a bit more nuance: I’ll upvote for something funny, informative things, or general good takes. I’ll downvote if someone has a bad take, is unnecessarily mean, or is generally incoherent.
If the comment doesn’t spark a reaction I just keep scrolling.

I ran it for a while, and loved it. Cinnamon is sleek and feels polished. The installation is really fast and not bloated with garbage software.
Everything generally works, and the interface feels familiar.
It is Ubuntu/Debian under the hood, so compatibility with most software is good. Bleeding edge drivers may run into issues, but most of them work with a little fiddling.
It’s worth a try. If nothing else toss it on a USB drive and give it a test drive.
