Apparently wether is a castrated male sheep or a castrated male goat. Just saying.:D I have learnt something new today !


Similarly, "payed" is something you do on a ship. The hazards of relying on spellcheck.


I have miles to go before I sleep.. I like the reference to Stopping by woods on a snowy evening..

Great to see u made yourself a good life in east java.

My grandpa lived in Solo and my dad in Jakarta.

I tried so much to move there. But couldnt make it.

I am still stuck at the hamsters wheel in London. Hopefully i can get a fully remote job and then move to Indonesia. I can only dream !

/dream


The Robert Frost reference I played because I always feel like I can keep learning som much more, do so much more, as I think he tries to convey in his article. And I played it off the English translation of his Latin quote, 'Nil nove sul sole' ('Nothing new under the sun') to convey that too. You're never stuck; it's in your head. I grew up poor in Brooklyn, and I have taken lower paying jobs after higher paying ones for the experience and fun of it. You learn to live within your means. You don't need a remote job to move to Indonesia. I live on very little here. I spend more on luxuries like books and credit for Internet. I am far from any big stores or town, so the temptation to just spend is gone too. I am sure you can manage to save $10K USD in a year. I am spending the time studying, exercising, sleeping (I have slept an average of 6 hours or less per night for the past 30 years or so, and now I try and get 8 to 9 hours, sometimes more!). The old cliche 'Life is short' rings more loudly as you get older, and peers start dying around you. In our youth we rally to 'Seize the day', but we don't own it. As Joseph Campbell said and wrote, 'Follow your bliss'. The rest will take care of itself just like the feet and hands wash themselves in the process of showering or bathing. Semoga berhasil!


did you mean crontab -r ?

I remember using crontab -r assuming that -r is to open it in read only mode. like vim -R

Bad assumption!


> did you mean crontab -r ?

Some platforms it's -r, others it's -d. I suspect it's down to which cron daemon you run but never really cared enough to investigate. In any case, both are next to the 'e' key so either are just as dangerous in terms of typos.


I have had decent experience using https://www.sharelatex.com/

I compile my cv using latex. And once I had to make a few changes to my cv. So I used their service from my office. It worked pretty well for my use case.

PS: I have no affiliation with them.


I've used sharelatex when collaborating on a small paper. It's REALLY useful to live-edit a latex document in parallel with other people, and see changes live. The chat being able to embed latex is super useful.

Besides that, though, it's just OK.


Woah ... pressure points (Nardi) is the same in Tamil too ! South Indian martial art form covers the use of Nadi (pressure points/nerves) to disarm/disable opponents. I think this would have reached Japan from mainland China. Also some research and folklore suggests that Bodhidarma was in fact a Pallava Prince who went to China and spread the marital art forms. However hard evidence is quite scant esp. in India.


That is not the word "nardi." It's the name Nardi, as in Thomas Nardi, the author of a magazine article cited as a source at the end of the post.


Hmmm. I might have got over excited there! Should have become suspicious when google din't give me anything related to "Japanese + nardi"


may his soul rest in peace


the issue with the travel from milton keynes to euston is that the peak hours virgin trains are completely packed and will struggle to find space in there.


A fair point. Although I'd be happy with the Midland Mainline trains that take ~50m (IIRC) since I can work on the train.

Plus my plan is no more than two days a week actually commuting since there's zero requirement for me to be in the office as a developer.


niicee ! Yeah apparently midland trains are quite empty. Maybe I l do that as well !


omg... i am close to making this decision myself ! just sick and tired of the soaring house prices in london.


I'm not bothered about the house prices but the incessant apartmentisation of every bit of land (e.g. Thames Path, east of Greenwich) and general shitness of the city (e.g. Greenwich, weekend) has brought me to the same decision.

Depending on job and other situations, I'm hoping to be out of London this time next year - probably somewhere like Milton Keynes.


tbh the prices in Milton Keynes have gone up as well. (P.S i am looking for houses there too !)


Yeah but I can get a one bed flat there for less or the same as I'm paying for a studio now. Plus the environment is just a lot nicer (I was there last weekend walking down the canal and it was LOVELY.)


True... you get a lot for the price of a studio in London really. lol. I was there too ! although it was rainy in MK when i reached there. I liked the place too. Its not rich in heritage so to speak. But for a decent middle class living with family and kids I think its a nice place.

Also not to mention you could commute to Birmingham should you get a good offer from there.


I enjoyed* the Saturday afternoon rain as I walked back from the centre to Caldecotte Lake. Took my shoes a day to dry out. Most damp. (But still a lot nicer than London canal walks.)


Same here. Been in London for 15 years, but rent's just going up and up and the idea of buying a place here is beyond laughable. Crappy little houses down the street here (Haringey) easily cost £300k+ (for a one bed flat, divided from what once was a single, real house). I suppose we could get a mortgage for that... but I can think of lots of better things to spend that much money on.

Sadly for me, my partner's Italian and working in an industry wedded to London (as does mine, to a degree), and for her the thought of moving to the suburbs or beyond is just not possible, so...

Yeah.

I don't particularly want to move to Italy either.

Doomed.


exactly... dammit...


True that! When I first saw the starting credits of MGS i was like ...whoooaaaa !
