Here are things that are not good with the standard laptop form. They may seem minor, but I believe these little physical discomforts manifest themselves in a reluctance to use the device.

1. It's oblong with few safe surfaces to touch. To carry it with one hand forces you to hold it from one edge at least for awhile each time you pick it up and put it down. That feels heavy because of the leverage it pulls against that little edge you get to hold.

2. By opening frontwards/away from you, opening feels bad. Compare with opening a tablet that folds horizontally like a book.

3. It's often hard to find a clear spot to fit your laptop footprint at home. Corollary: when most people are not using it, it takes up a lot of desk or counter space. Very few people store it vertically. I store mine vertically under my desk and it gets kicked a lot.

4. It's really hard to just keep it closed and use it as a desktop replacement. Most have power buttons on the inside only, so when you have to wake it up or reboot, you've got to open it a crack and wedge your finger in there.

5. You can't tell how much battery is left, or what time it is, or when your next appointment is, without opening up the lid. Often you have to do one of those things while walking. Opening the lid and checking something on the inside while walking feels terrible.
Also note Apple is transitioning their Unix workstation line back to RISC.
Fair, is just that when I see all the css you have to write just to make a button pretty I shudder ;) It's fine I guess if your task is to only write css.

So by components you meant react components not css components?

They way I wish it worked, although I haven't seen it really successfully implemtented is that instead of paying for a support contract, you could pay for support in a more a la carte manner. Such as say, pledging money to a bug or feature, and the dev team prioritizes based on how much money is pledged for different features and bugs, perhaps with some expiration so customers don't end up paying for a bug that isn't fixed until years later when it no longer matters.
Used to use one. Lots of ankle fatigue and slow thought to action time. Never trained myself sufficiently or fast enough. Tried both clutch and toggle mode. Perhaps switch was too light. Had to worry about accidentally triggering by resting foot.

Plus side was easy to get working everywhere, including inside Ideavim.
I tried this a few years back and gave up after a few days. Moving your foot is way slower than hitting a key.
when i lost my wallet with my debit card in it, i went to my nearby credit union branch and they just printed a new one for me on the spot. all the relevant info was printed on the card and magnetized/loaded in the right spots. it didn't have raised numbers like many cards (even the periodic renewal replacement they've since mailed me lacks raised numbers as well).

it seemed to me then, and now, that that was a much better experience than waiting for it nervously in the mail.
I think maybe we are looking at it backwards. In order to understand what gravity is first we may need to understand what distance is. Gravity is essentially the effect of information at different distances. Matter or energy is localised information. Something here, nothing there. Gravity acts at a great distance compared to the other fundamental forces so perhaps it is not like them, not amenable to a quantum theory. Perhaps gravity is meta information about space. Space contains certain clusters or concentrations of information at different distances.The ensemble of these clusters is also information. A certain level information density may extert a pull on matter that we call the gravitational force.

Not for vim, but in windows I use Autohotkey to translate midi messages into macros. Get yourself a cheap midi keyboard with a bunch of buttons and knobs like the akai mpk mini or the arturia minilab 2 and you have a ton of controls to customize for any macro you want. I personally use the minilab.

Take some desk space but way way way more controls. Also, if you get interested in modular synths you can download VCV Rack for free and learn about modular synthesis with a small controller for basically free.

Or you could just get a razor tartarus or whatever they're calling them now and do similar without the midi part but with razors proprietary hardware and software.

Yep. They're already spinning up a big cloud migration project that will eventually replace many of the re-engineered on-premise systems, and they're still not yet off the mainframe (they're close, but that last 20% is always the hardest).
There are X extensions for shared memory buffers. Client isolation for X could also have been implemented as some kind of extension. With both of those you could solve some issues but it still wouldn't be the same as redesigning the core protocol.

If you are expecting every Wayland server to implement things exactly the same way, that will probably not happen, the point with having different implementations is that they can choose which parts they want. It's currently not looking like there will be any one standard-definer, you can build a monolithic implementation if you want but you don't have to. Yes this might cause some fragmentation but realistically, has X really helped there? The huge proliferation of clones and forks of various X window managers that are incompatible in various ways is another kind of fragmentation.

I wonder if they'll start sharing data on banned passengers. I think this is a much more interesting and nuanced social issue.

A recent viral video this week showed a woman assaulting an Uber driver, she livestreamed on IG to try to justify her actions and in the process said that she would only be using Lyft, then lyft tweeted that they pre-emptively banned her.

If FAANG joined together to make a shared blocked users list, they could effectively make a digital caste system subject to little current government oversight.

And at least in my state, if you are booked after your arrest, you now have a "prisoner file number" (PFN), even if they release you immediately. This is what a cop is using when they ask if you've ever been arrested before, checking to see if you lie.
I dislike these headlines techniques a lot, and they are very frequent - like the coldest March 1st in 23 years, or the warmest Jan 8th in 12.5 years, etc. The warmest Feb. in 30+ years (though not, evidently, in 40+ years).

We don't see headlines passed around when the day doesn't break any records, and the bar is raised or lowered seemingly to fit the need for a record. Take any day, and find the last time the temp was colder or warmer, set the headline to those parameters and gen up some more anxiety.

I'm skeptical of how useful headlines like this are for any purpose, and suspect they do more harm than good in terms of giving people a tin ear to any real problem.

That you can no longer tell what model it is from the outside. Quite inconvenient.
i suppose it depends on the details, but if you're asked for state-issued identification when processing a return, and you present a falsified document that purports to be state-issued, that's a almost certainly a crime. (even the creation of such a falsified document is likely a crime.)

I had the same thing from an accidental purchase-- I purchased the PS4 version of a game instead of the PS3 version, and didn't actually have a PS4. After multiple exchanges and ultimately arguing my case with someone over the phone, they reverse the charge as a "one time courtesy"

The mere fact that you can "buy" a game on the Sony store that is available for multiple devices but not be able to play it on all of those devices is already ridiculous.

You can do pseudo inline styles by just putting a <style> tag after the element which will let you use those. I think the argument is that tailwind isn't _conceptually_ different than inline styles even if there are a few minor technical differences.

You know, you could have ended your post by the end of the third paragraph and everything would have been fine. Your post would have been one's honest opinion about a particular cuisine, that's all. Even though I sincerely disagree with you (being an Indian man born and raised on Indian-style cooking) but at least I'd respect your opinion.

Then you treated your dislike of Indian food as some sort of objective statement, alleging most non-Indian folk like it only because of political wokeness. You illustrated that point by bringing up your sous chef's love of Indian food, despite this weird idea that his Aryan physical features should have marred his palette for life when it comes to food rich in spices.

There's some troubling racial undertones peppered throughout your post, let alone some serious notes of snobbery. Honestly, you seem like a bright guy, so I hope you take this moment to do some seriously deep introspection here. As it stands right now, it seems to me you harbor some old-fashioned beliefs regarding non-white people that are just factually wrong.

Huh. I am also a "vim user", and I somehow never noticed this after using macOS for now over a decade. I guess I am confused by your comment, though, as the reason I seem to have never noticed is directly because I am a "vim user"... Terminal and iTerm both do key repeat (and in fact when I first tested just now I was like "I mean, seems to work?" and then I decided "oh, I guess I should check apps other than vim"... but why would anyone use software other than vim ;P).
The AS/400 is a thing of beauty. It was ahead of its time and, in many aspects, it's still ahead of ours.
Yeah, React and other similar component-based frameworks

The thing about writing the CSS to make a button pretty is that you only have to write it once (it's also usually no more than 10 lines), and then you can reuse it as much as you want. So forgoing a framework has some up-front cost, but in the long run it amortizes out and makes things easier to maintain imo.

Now, if I were churning out a new website every week or every month I would not be starting the CSS from scratch each time. I would probably carry around some starter CSS from project to project myself, though this would also be a good case for a framework.
The mStand is definitely not adjustable, but it's also very robust/firm/rigid/solid. There's no question it will go the distance from a quality perspective, should last a lifetime. The rubber pads also seem like they'll go the distance too. I trust Rain Design because they don't skimp on the heft of the aluminum they use or the means they mount the rubber pads. I've bought some cheap competitor ones in the past, their lightweight bodies tend to tip over easily and their adhesive fails over time. Rain Design is what we used at Apple, and I use it at my current job too.

It appears they do offer a more adjustable model too.

I have opinions about writing. So does Mr. Graham.

What our opinions have in common is that they are not falsifiable. Unless we validate our conjectures with empirical evidence, we're really just sharing our taste.

"Oh no," you may say, "I have tested it, and when I write a longer essay, my retweets and upvotes decline." Very well, but the plural of anecdote is not 'data.'

Somewhere else on the Internet, there is someone with poetic, dense writing. When they simplify it, their audience dries up.

Writers and audiences find each other. If you try to measure the effect of your writing using only an audience that has selected your writing voluntarily, you are not measuring your effectiveness, you are measuring the degree to which your writing pleases people who already like your writing.

Absent a properly constructed empirical approach, we might as well be discussing hemlines and necktie widths.

Tailwind Is Still Missing Some Key Features

> So use css? Using tailwind isn't a binary option

then what, you now have 2 set of styles in 2 different places, written in 2 completely different ways, does that sound fun to maintain? I guess still you have to structure your css in some way too?

<div class="
w-16 h-16
md:w-32 md:h-32
lg:w-48 lg:h-48
"></div>

do you just casually throw these magic numbers everywhere or there is a way to use css variables with tailwind?
> my VSCode autoformats the classes to break lines just fine.

My only pain point with Tailwind was the order of classes. It helps with readability if the classes are always in the same order. I just discovered that eslint-plugin-tailwind [0] is solving this exactly. Configuring VSCode to run code formatter and perform ESLint fixes [1] is just an incredible DX.

I think there's a benefit in having physical separation between work and non-work areas of the home. Certainly this is going to be of different value to everybody.
If the Wayland/fd.o crowd insists on breaking things I relied on to the point where I have to work weekends to fix everything that used to work, I'm going to spend that time replacing whatever software they wrote that I use with software that I wrote, since at least I won't be breaking my workflow.
Maybe I'll look into "presentation displays" for my next "tv". I use an appletv and external audio anyway -- the "tv" is just for display only.
Depends on the state, but often if you make something that relates to your employer's business, even on your own time, your employer owns it.
Yes but according to the protocol you MUST use Arweave to do so.

The blockchain can already store data for you, not large chunks of data, but BTC can store 1MB which should be more than enough to put a link to Arwave, S3, ipfs, coordinates to a buried USB stick, etc.

Arweave is NOT a permanent file storage solution. All participants in the network could simply shred their hard drives.

The annoying thing is, their own stated goal is

> Our goal with this is to make secret recovery easier and more intuitive.

Then they go on to instead solve the problem of both secret recovery AND bitrot/linkrot (without truly solving the bitrot/linkrot problem, simply tying themselves to a separate project which claims that they have).

Edit:

To put it another way, if I pitch to you an interesting IP routing algorithm and then said "but you can only use Cisco routers to do it" you might question what my interest in Cisco is vs. my interest in solving the posed routing problem.
> Why cannot the mainframes be replaced with virtual machines and the target binaries replaced with the identical output from a language with more than one compilation target? It seems from the outset this is entirely possible and practical given how much more compute is available from modern architectures.

Because mainframes are more than just a quantity of computation. Their hardware and software has prioritized reliability and resiliency far more than the PC architecture, which pretty much everything else is based on nowadays (and which started out and remains mainly about low-cost).

In some ways the approach you describe would be like replacing a ZFS RAID array with an a single large disk with a FAT filesystem. It's possible, but you probably don't want to.

Full disclosure: I'm not a mainframe developer, but I've read quite a bit about them.
So then it sounds like within this, part of what we think of as the prevailing morality can actually be defined as the behavior of companies who have been around for long enough. This is probably why a lot of companies seem to get away with "bad" behavior: people who think of the behavior as bad simply don't know the rules. Just be sure to throw in a token fine or fire a middle manager in order to preserve the illusion.
Yeah, RISC is good. RISC architecture is going to change everything! (according to Apple, ofc. /s)
My rural FTTH ISP is going to hit a significant milestone this month: we'll hit $1 million in revenue from the network since the big expansion push in 2018. Our biggest investment so far is one $200k chunk that funded that push, plus a bit from family and friends. It's good to finally be self sustaining after having 4 projects worth of profitability squashed by the incumbent.
I do like the project, however after mapping caps-lock to ctrl (or command on MacOS) the cognitive load from switching platforms has been decreased significantly.
My dishwasher and washing machine do meaningful work for me, saving many hours each day/week. But what you describe is saving a minute here, a second there. Spending time on things that matter is all well and good, but is there really a difference between doing those things for 4 hours rather than 3 hours and 52 minutes?

A very good life choice that was. I know a few people who eventually had to seek help due to the soul-crushing nature of their line of work.

And it's funny really when you think about it - we make good money, which in turn lets us lead a certain lifestyle - an enviable position for most.

And yet we can't be happy, because we're deprived of meaning, and apparently this is such a basic need that you simply can't stay healthy without it.

Today I spent three hours digging a virtual canal with my friends, so that we could shorten the route our virtual viking ship would have to take to bring some virtual minerals back to our virtual base.

States to make all adults eligible for Covid vaccines by May 1
Out of curiosity, did the research center exist before the home was built or vice-versa?

The research center existing first doesn't normally preclude a nuisance claim. But land use legal scholars always like to point out that people tend to move to the nuisance, mostly because such residential developments tend to be cheaper. Sprawl tends to envelop industrial areas over time.

I'm just curious as a point of reference. No judgment. Heck, most American cities try too hard to separate land uses, which exacerbates sprawl. Rather than pretending we can always avoid conflicting uses through geographic dispersion, we should probably put in more effort to streamlining resolution of particular cases.
