I'm so stoked. Pebble was the only smart watch that I actually liked and used.
My apple watch just sits on a shelf. My fitbit I only wear when sleeping. My pebble unfortunately broke, but it also sits on a shelf as I haven't been able to admit to myself that I'd never get around to repairing it.
My nit is that we don't actually have evidence supporting the idea that it stops at or around 25. As far as I know, the brain continues to have observable changes throughout your life.
(The person I replied to didn't make this claim directly, but it's an oft-cited myth that it seemed like they were referencing.)
Van Gogh used art to transform his misery, illness, and madness into scenes peace and beauty. If he were to paint gas plumes, then looking at those plumes would fill you with feelings of serenity.
There might be someone hopelessly addicted to amateur astronomy, frequently disrupting their sleep schedule and taking out usurious loans to pay for their equipment. But, that's not happening on a scale that we need societal regulation. Gambling is a different sort of vice than many fun activities.
My ~/bin directory is not directly version controlled. It primarily consists of symlinks, often stripping file extensions from shell scripts (e.g., ~/bin/foobar links to ~/src/foobar.sh) I have just enough python scripts and go binaries to make me think it's worth separating src and bin.
~/src is a git repo. One script evolved into its own project and became a submodule within ~/src.
For configuration files like ~/.foobar_rc and directories such as ~/.vim/, they again are not directly version controlled but are symlinked into ~/etc which is. I don't see any reason that ~/.foobar_rc couldn't be a hardlink, but it's not in my setup.
I used to maintain a single repository at ~ that included ~/src and ~/etc as submodules, with a build script for setting up links. Always being within a git repository became cumbersome, so I moved the build tools into their respective directories (~/src and ~/etc) and now clone and build each repository manually.
Lastly, since private repos aren't (weren't?) free, those submodule repos are really just branches of the same repo that share no common ancestors.
You're perhaps confusing Colorado with a bunch of the states around it. Sure, its economy looks small compared to California's, but California's economy is mind-bogglingly vast. Not many companies are willing to write-off ~12% of California.
