I like the framing of "defaults" too. Gives space for suggestion and change.

Our team currently relies on thingamajig's responsiveness and cannot tolerate a change in performance. We will setup a temporary replica of thingamajig. Can you please hold off until our thingamajig replica is stable. My team expects this to be done by March 8th.

If I don't hear back from you by lunchtime, I WILL eat your leftovers.


DHTML! Gosh just hearing that term takes me back. I think AJAX killed DHTML. I'm not sure what killed AJAX. Async/await? React?

I literally just copied and pasted that exact part into my notes. Something about "versus doing nothing" really hits hard. I can do more than nothing! And also, sometimes, I need grace and time.


I couldn't get into it. I wasn’t sure if it was the game itself, my movement away from being a gamer, or just missing the game I knew so well.


My amateur impression was the following rankings:

Easy to hardest to play: Protoss, Zerg, Terran

Best when mastered: Terran, Zerg, Protoss

I wasn’t tapped into the pro/competitive side so I’m sure it played out differently for them.


BGH and UMS are where I spent my entire StarCraft life. Lot of wonderful hours into those!


SCUMS! (StarCraft Use Map Settings). These maps provided a wide array of games and I believe popularized or gave birth to a few. I remember tower defense, level up games where you and the other players explore the map and gain upgrades, a predator game where one player is chosen randomly to be the killer in a horror style hunt. Imagine, each map, possibly an entire new game, sometimes being discovered for the first time together with strangers. Such a fun and amazing time!


Just heard this song for the first time like a month ago, thanks for the reminder!


This has been documented already. As you begin mindfulness practices you become aware of your thoughts. You then think “gosh, I didn’t have all these thoughts before” when really you did, you just weren’t aware of them.

I believe studies on this are discussed in Sam Harris’s book “Waking Up”.
