Today, I listened to this episode of NSQ - No stupid questions - podcast.

Angela mentioned that she has watched 4 out of top 10 horror movies (from some list) Dubner was 0/10

Turns out, Angela watched all those only during her twenties or earlier.

Some study noticed that audience for such movies comprises mostly young adults. (Because they are seeking thrill ?)

Psychologists Paul Rozin calls this “benign masochism”

In the book “Illusions”, Richard Bach asked Donald Shimoda the same question, and was answered as :

I needed this, because Dendron uses 13-digit epoch time, for created and updated timestamps. While it is not a problem when notes are created from within VSCode (as is expected - since Dendron is a VSCode plugin) - I don’t use VSCode much.

While Dendron has command line tools to create new notes, and notes are markdown only the timestamps are problem.

Hence, the need to create 13-digit epoch time.

date "+%s" can be used to get the epoch time, it only returns 10 digits. Since I don’t care about millisecond precision in my time stamps, I can always add 3 extra 0s at the end, yet it is a hassel.

It was only a matter of time before there was Emacs mode for D2 😆

and here it is.

I’m yet to try it though.

Pixey is instance of Pixelfed server (Just like there are several servers running Mastodon software)

Just as Mastodon is Decentralized version of twitter, Pixelfed is decentralized version of Instagram.

Here is my pixey profile For some reason, when in full view mode, the image appears black. 🤷‍♂ (This is true only for sketched drawn and exported from ok!so app)

I drew this using finger on the trackpad.

I’m impressed.
