I've been happy with my Samsung Odyssey. It requires a decent gaming PC running Windows, but no online accounts (unless you want to buy games on Steam, which you probably will). It has the "inside-out" tracking which doesn't require beacons, and the ergonomics and build quality and everything have been perfectly fine. You sometimes have to close the blinds to keep the tracking from jumping at certain points, but I'm sure that happens with any of the inside-out ones.

I suspect that you're in the minority for audiobook listeners. Does this mean that you don't like movies because of the interpretation that human actors, directors, videographers, and composers bring to the scripts? I don't enjoy _ever_ narrator, but there are a lot of really fantastic human narrators out there.
Every town I’ve ever lived in has had its own full police department, including when I lived in Colorado and Ohio. The small city (~30,000) I lived in Ohio had their own MRAP and quasi swat team, without justification in my opinion.

Even still, my general thesis would still apply at the county level.

These kind of announcements probably happen all the time within Apple, why do people rage when someone else tries to fix UI inconsistency in L&F and behavior, but Apple does it by changing what you're use to without asking you, and nary a peep?

At least other companies sometimes let you keep the old theme/skin for awhile.
It's probably not a common-place occurrence because anyone who doesn't have perpetual connection to internet just avoids things like this.

SaaS software on the other hand is more popular since the revenue stream is forcefully consistent no matter if you're putting out 10 features in a quarter or 1, or if the customer even wants to pay for whatever new feature the SaaS is putting out. With pay-once software, your revenue stream will fluctuate more depending on if you're putting out features everyone wants or not, which is great as a consumer (assuming your needs match with other customers) but could lead to huge financial issues (read: layoffs) if someone makes the wrong decision and develops features for 2 quarters in a row that no existing customer upgrades for.

There was an interesting section in Michael Pollan's book "How to Change Your Mind" about combining breathwork with drumming. It seems with the right setup that you can induce certain altered states of consciousness that are pretty equivalent to certain psychedelics.

I'm definitely interested in seeing what can be done to without the aid of drugs. As someone who had some bad trips that gave me 6 months of anxiety, a non drug induced altered state sounds preferable.

That being said, even something as seemingly benign as meditation can lead to intensely challenging experiences in certain situations. But overall, not relying on drugs seems generally safer.

Macs, with their amazing touchpads, are (at least for the moment and the last ten years or so) general purpose computers that can run pretty much every widely available open source operating system. This is a false dichotomy.

> People love to criticize Apple, but man do they do some wonderful things for their customers.

People rarely criticize Apple for the products themselves. Apple gets criticism because of the "weird" (for lack of a better word) restrictions on the products. I've stopped using a Mac for quite a while now - but I recall examples - when the first Macbooks came without a optical drive you could buy an external one. But it will only work with _that particular Macbook model_ (after googling around I found that you could send a magic SCSI string to make it work). There is no iPhone with a SD card slot - my dad _LOVED_ iOS and his iPhone 6S but he had to switch to an Android phone so that he can use a 500GB SD card to store all his photos (he wants _ALL_ his photos available locally on the phone, so cloud sync is not an option).

I could go on. Apple makes some amazing products, but then adds quirks that makes the amaze short lived.
Maybe, but the iOS uniformity and willingness of its users to update is an advantage for trying to get this adopted.

I'm surprised that they didn't use Cmd-P, using Cmd-Shift-O instead.

What's the precedent for it? I thought Cmd-P was now universally used to locate files. Do Mac apps like Xcode use Cmd-Shift-O instead?
Thats against the facebook ToS. They can and will flag your account holding your games hostage until you provide ID.

Stylesheets or having many themes would be nice. I find a lot of blogging / hosting platforms work well out of the box but are a pain to customise.

"over-engineering" something can't make it last forever, can't prevent it from eventually wearing out. If that's the plan, it just postpones the day when people suffer. As you say, these things were engineered for the long haul but the people harmed in Santa Rosa fire that the collapse of a pylon caused probably aren't impressed by shear lifetime.

Father: Son, some day, all of this will be yours. And since we don't expect to do maintenance, some other day, it will explode and kill you or your grandchildren.

> I'm probably the last person on earth to do so, but I write my posts in raw HTML.

Although I don't use Blogger/Blogspot anymore and I render my blog using a static site generator [1], I too write my posts in raw HTML [2].

In the past, the differences in how various tools interpret and render some of the corner case scenarios like nested lists, code blocks or blockquotes nested within lists, etc. caused issues in porting my Markdown files from one system to another. Granted, there is CommonMark now and I think it is a pretty good specification but it is not a standard like HTML5 is. I prefer standards, so that I know with a reasonable degree of confidence that what I write now would look the same 10 years from now.

> I just don't know what the solution is.

Not 100% sure, I think we'd benefit from society broadening what acceptable ways of living and gender roles are available for men. There are plenty of women that grow up feeling dejected or romantically undesirable, but we don't necessarily see the same sort of frustration expressed the way we're familiar with in young men. My take is that there are social expectations for how men are supposed to act or live, and there are elements of said expectations that contribute to the frustration and loneliness we see in many of them today. I think the world would be better if a lot of young men felt able to express what was bothering them to their peers, as well had peers (not necessarily always romantic) that cared enough to at least listen.

I was once browsing a Reddit group for Transmen, and a discussion the members were having on socializing with masculinity hit a lot of the notes I expected. [1]

I love Panic and I love hacking, and I started hacking on the Mac and will always have a soft spot for the macOS. I'm glad they built this and their other cool (but proprietary) software, despite the fact that software freedom is really important.

That said, I'll never use a toolchain that isn't free software. These are my work tools, into which I invest decades of muscle memory and configuration. Between Apple's lack of emphasis on long term application BC, and their increasingly locked down hardware (and I type this on an iMac Pro with T2 and firmware security on), I just can't invest my time and energy into the most critical of my development tools (an editor) that isn't going to come with me to any platform or device that I ever end up using, or, more importantly, be hackable.

It's sort of like fire insurance. I hope to never, ever need to use it (recompile my editor with a change), but the idea of having some of my most valuable resources/investments at risk, with no recourse should the worst happen, is insane to me.
Yeah I'm surprised they're not using USB-C's DisplayPort alternate mode. Why is that?
No. I think the point is can we change our forestry practices. Ignoring the root causes and blaming the first dominoe isn’t helpful because there will always be some dumb thing to set off a massive fire. We have been assigning blame - is that effective at stopping the fires?

We do blameless post-martens as a best practice in engineering so that when we don’t have constant outages of critical internet infrastructure and that it comes up quickly when issues arise.

Why ignore a successful strategy that may show better results than just blaming whoever happened to be responsible for some sparks this time around? Who are you going to blame when lightning is the spark?
> There is a long term correlation with solar activity(CME's,Sunspots,Solar flares) that can attest for large climatic swings of the past.

Based on 2020's level of solar activity, would you expect it to be hotter or colder than it actually is?

Because from what I've seen, you'd expect it to be colder.

Which means something else is causing the temperature rise.

So why bring up solar activity at all?

Common misconception. VSC's most novel/valuable features are not open source. VSC is only "open core"; all of the real value-adds are proprietary and cannot legally be forked/reused.

> One VSC feature that's been quite the remote lifesaver is shared sessions with voice chat.

Every single time the Global LEFT attempts to get Equal OUTCOME it fails

because

Male and Females ARE DIFFERENT

Diferences between Jews, Asians, White and Blacks EXIST

The only way Left wing Zionism, Marxism and Commisism can be reached
is lowing everyone down to the lowest common doninator

Real differences between
* IQ
* Agression
* Phsyical
* exist between Male and Female
* and different races

Once you allow your
Hobby
Group
Business
platform
to have admins, ceo, management that are Global LESTIST
they will turn your group into a poltical activist outlet
to use power and funnel resources (Look up DIVERSITY CIRCLE)

What the Global LEFT refuse to admit is its all a scam to push for their goal
which is Agenda 21 2020-2030 , Global single goverment, no freedom
no nations, no borders, run by Zionist Jews in ISRAEL

Interesting. If you had taken a good materials engineer with you, run the analysis, and then shorted PCG using an analysis of when this would fail, you would have done very very well indeed.

I wonder how predictable this is in a materials science sense. And to top it off, you could have immediately outed PCG through it anonymously shortly after the fires really spread.

All perfectly legal.

A more ethical way (considering the human cost) would have been to out them early and then forced maintenance on them but I don't know if that would have been as profitable.

I suspect there are lots of these opportunities around. I wonder how you find them. Hmm.
Bit of an aside but various states consciousness has always been front of mind in certain regards with Haitian culture.

Zombie-mania has been in the US for a while now, but in Haiti it, at least in part, originally referred to when you zone out going through rote day-to-day actions without thinking.

Can’t remember where you parked your car? You were a zombie when you did it.

Etymologically it’s interesting as well, to be taken (literally “mounted”) by a lwa or spirit.

You're getting it slightly wrong/backwards. When gerrymandering you want to:

1. Create districts that will overwhelmingly vote for the other guy.

and

2. Create districts that will just barely vote for you.

Because it doesn't matter if you win a district by 1% or by 49% you can take a population that overall is 50/50, or even prefers the other guy and create a lot of districts that will vote for you by a small margin, and only a handful of districts that will vote for the other guy but by a really big margin.

A carbon tax that covers 100% of the external environmental cost on all goods would mean a substantial change in the way people live. Tautologically, such a change is needed to stop climate change. A change like this would mean gas, international travel, heating oil, meat and some other foods, plastics would be much more expensive. A change like this would be nearly impossible to pass.

The good news is a much smaller carbon tax is enough to change some behavior and get much of the benefit. You can start small and go from there.
Took them a pandemic worth of phone usage to realize how irritating this was. When lockdown/WFH started, my company was using Google Meet, and everytime there is an incoming call it used to go full screen completely blocking for whatever purpose I was using the phone (or what ever I was hearing or saying). Though Zoom integrates with Call feature (not sure what's the technical term for it), whenever there is an incoming call between a zoom call it used to go in waiting.

Yes. As does the nomination of a 77 year old candidate with visible signs of dementia, and his choice of the least likeable primary candidate as his VP based solely on her gender and skin color.

Trump is the best thing that happened to the United States in the last 30 years. You just don't see it yet. His
second term will fix that.
> I've done a number of diversity & inclusion trainings and I'm always confused by the opposition to them. Being more aware is generally useful.

Because they are based on a racist ideology, "'critical' race theory" and they are more akin to soviet style struggle sessions than any sort of actual training. In fact what is practiced in US would be probably illegal in a number of European countries.

Furthermore it's lower level employees that are subject to these "indoctrination" sessions, not higher ups that often treat low level employees like shit, no matter the race or sex.

So on one side, you are for victimizing low level employees, on the other, controversial management techniques that totally lack of any human empathy are never questioned.

I didn't mean to suggest that VSC was slower than Atom — only that it wasn't meaningfully faster. The fact that the typing latency felt equivalent (ie. not native), and that I couldn't visually customize VSC to my liking (despite spending days trying) turned me off it.

This is an interesting argument. Maybe 10 years as a lifespan would be better than 100 years since it'd force checks every year. With the 100 year lifespan, people will always assume it can be done next year instead of this year.
Seems more like a bug
See my link above about faculty and staff at a university Zoom meeting going around in a circle and each saying they are "a racist" and a "gatekeeper of white supremacy." There are ways to talk about implicit bias and systemic racism, but the confessional format crosses the line from providing information to something else. I go to church to be told I am a sinner and how to find redemption. Just give me the information and let me fit that into my value framework.
