IIRC this is actually the main purpose of one of these, they run slightly warmer to keep fermentation going while still being cold enough to preserve. Traditonal kimchi was stored underground so maybe a temp close to those conditions.


That makes it warmer than regular fridges, while wikipedia claims the opposite.


Not really, the advertised temperatures of most brands' kimchi fridges[1] are -1°C (with lower -0.5°C band of stability as well), which is supposed to be mimicking "buried outside in Korean winters" condition.

[1] Example here https://www.lge.co.kr/support/product-manuals?title=manual&m..., see table on page 10, it's between -0.7°C and -1.7°C for kimchi.


Haven't seen these in a while, but the H Marts in Washington state would stock a couple of the newest LG ones.

National liberation, the struggle against colonialism, the construction of peace, progress and independence are hollow words devoid of any significance unless they can be translated into a real improvement of living conditions.” - Amílcar Cabral


Purely observation from team members leaving and browsing the #remote-advocacy channel over the last two years, but the 3-day mandate and the relocations have already pushed most people who can (and want to) quit, to quit.


I think it's encouraged due to milestones always being set with unrealistic ECDs, so every project is always behind and there's always urgent security fixes to 'catch up' on (I work on an AWS microservice as an L4 SDE, and joined 2y ago, for context). So you work in the off-hours thinking you're 'catching up' to the work you've 'missed', when in reality that is just the expected velocity to keep pace, and being 'caught up' is an unreachable goalpost.

I personally just learned to hide lack of progress on one task behind the urgency of another new issue, or keep tasks as vague as possible so that I can slow down on some days and speed up on other days. As a result I don't think I work crazy hours, but there's just a constant, fatiguing pressure of the feeling of 'I should be catching up on work right now'.

And I only recently realized that it's degrading my ability to enjoy any time at all, whether its PTO or just after work hanging out with my girlfriend.

This is my first eng. job though and I can't tell whether its better or worse in other places, and I tell myself it's probably better than the hours required at a startup. And I feel bad complaining to my friends when they're almost all unemployed or working gig jobs. /rant


Same, I've been able to focus best when finishing up something either during the weekend or when I allotted more OOTO time than I actually needed, I think it's just being in that (slightly) more de-pressurized state and no overhead of Slack pings and meetings.


If you’re going for FAANG most of your day isn’t coding anyway.


Hi Max, been following your stuff since Half + Half and it’s cool to see you on HN! Excited for whatever Normal has going on next!


For todo lists, I agree and at most a plaintext file or the Reminders app on your phone is enough. For daily notes though I feel like Obsidian is only as complex as you want it to be. My vault for work notes is mainly a haphazard bunch of copy-pasted snippets and chat records pasted in an auto-dated daily note, and it's saved me a bunch of times when I've needed to go back and search something.


This is awesome, I work at AWS and might use this when the console load times get on my last nerve and I just want to check some IAM policies. The Access Denied debugger sounds like a massive timesaver too.


Oh that’s so nice to hear! It’s quite an early alpha, but I’ve working to expand support for more resource types and details. Feedback is very welcomed.
