Feeling safe is just as important as actually being safe.

I think you partially addressed that already with the privilege part. I know my city has rough areas that definitely have an increased risk of getting mugged, robbed or just jumped for no reason. Knowing that is enough to keep me from going around there unless I have a reason.
If I remember correctly, i3 has a stacking mode that lets you hide windows behind others.
Thanks for the response. I'm not getting my hopes up but I am optimistic that surely someone has tried to enter this niche form factor solely given to how well it sells for the pi folks.
Agreed, zoom is absolute garbage on a tiling wm. I was able to at least make it useable with some custom config for zoom windows.
For what it's worth, our "Groups" app (which has been downloaded by 10 million people in 95+ countries) has offered this kind of feature for years. It lets you set reminders to send mass messages to people. It also does things like list contacts by the time you met them, so if you went to a party last night or a week ago, you can see who you have to follow up with.

We meant to turn it into a full-fledged ORM, but we got busy with the Qbix Platform. Anyway, if you want to give it a try, go here: https://qbix.com/GROUPS
From what I read elsewhere, he was judged as very very smart at uni, and his motivations in part stem from what I would call bullying: he was not only unloved at school, he was really put down. He decided to show people the inner steel. By now you think he'd have decided "goal achieved" but apparently, he's still on track.

If you don't mind me asking, what models are these pagers and what service is it through? I looked for a few plans and only found a single company that seemed to remain active. They offered prepaid plans for up to two years.
Unless it is extremely hot, or extremely cold, or you have to go a long way, or if you don’t want to buy an expensive new battery set every five years, or if you don’t have 220v at your house, or if you worry about finding a charging station while you run out of power in traffic, or if you don’t want to use any coal or natural gas to power your car.
I think because youtube can earn creators significant money, it becomes the a primary source of spam on reddit and profitable youtubers can flood everything out with voting rings.

And that is the stuff behind subs blocking youtube and the strict self-promotion rules.
Very neat tool, as a little bit of a map nerd I could waste a ton of time fiddling with this.

My first thought though when I saw this link was "Damn that's a valuable domain name". According to a couple of sources it's worth somewhere in the ballpark of $15-25k!
The window manager is part of the UI stack on macOS and can’t be replaced in the way a Linux user would expect.

There are utilities that attempt to provide some alternative window behaviors; they are all hacks — by necessity — because macOS does not support altering window behavior/appearance globally.
"Axial Higgs mode detected by quantum pathway interference in RTe3" (2022)
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04746-6

> [...] Here we discover an axial Higgs mode in the CDW system RTe3 using the interference of quantum pathways. In RTe3 (R = La, Gd), the electronic ordering couples bands of equal or different angular momenta4,5,6. As such, the Raman scattering tensor associated with the Higgs mode contains both symmetric and antisymmetric components, which are excited via two distinct but degenerate pathways. This leads to constructive or destructive interference of these pathways, depending on the choice of the incident and Raman-scattered light polarization.
Lost me at "sloppy focus." I actually quite liked fvwm and use sloppy focus still. I've become too lazy to bother knowing which WM is running on my machine but the lack of sloppy focus is the single feature that has prevented me from using Apple products forever. (I think the UX sucks too but if the focus worked as I wanted and the window management was a multi layered disaster, I could cope.)
There's no way this Supreme Court is going to alter the CSA.

Edit: Thank you Peyton for the additional context. I didn't realize that. I was reacting to "There is nothing stopping you from ordering and taking almost any drug." and I'd be shocked if the Supreme Court altered the interpretation of the CSA in such a way to allow arbitrary people to order controlled substances without a doctors prescription. Even if their state law allowed it.
I'm not sure why this has been posted as it is the same as using the Search box at the bottom of the page. Isn't it?
Europe or France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland are spiritual places, legal and banking places. Not places optimized for liberal innovation. They owned or invested massively in the US, China, India markets. They are lacking on some investments and the copying cycle sometimes but they are good at law and policy-making.
The foreign nationals thing may be the ITAR regs from my story. Your average foreign person? not a big deal. Chinese, Syrian, Iranian, (North) Korean, Now Russian: very big deal. It is a very blunt instrument applied because they haven't got a better one.
Sure, but the solution will end up looking just like traditional banking, only more expensive to run.
Getting Dropbox vibes from this one
Some good points. Have you tried something like Regolith or pop shell? I forget the name but there's also a toolkit for Sway that includes the kitchen sink. These should give you some of the configurability and tooling of something like Gnome but with tiling.
It seems like you're trying to make the point that if the term is being used on the type of person it's intended for, it's not an insult. Which is just... nonsense?
He raised a valid point. Industrialized countries have power grids and the like that were built before such demands for power existed. Adding millions of electric cars in a short time would be a problem for sure, and it would likely lead to coal and gas turbine power plants as those are cheap and quick to set up. Gas turbine actually isn’t too bad but coal is. Also, the need to somehow recycle and dispose of all of the internal combustion engine cars would be a problem. The thing is, these laws only prevent the sale of new vehicles using petrol, not driving the ones that already exist. Toyota does have hybrids and those seem to be acceptable under many of these laws.

The main thing bothering me currently is just the battery tech. I would prefer something that didn’t involve destructive mining and crazy foreign policies like oil and lithium do. But, wants are infinite and technology and resources aren’t.
Maybe, but many people in the world are able to stay healthy without having to make the time commitment or discipline of regular explicit exercise. It just falls out of living their regular lifestyles.

What's that company so I can avoid it?
Once I tried dwm, I never looked back.
If you read he story, it seems like he chose the job because of the additional benefits:

> But for Russell, the job literally offered a ticket out. Free-flight benefits opened up the world — a jaunt to the Yucatan with the boys, trips to Ireland and France with Hannah, and most important, tickets to Alaska, which still felt most like home. “Flight benefits,” Russell wrote, “were my last hope of seeing my beloved family and state on a regular basis.”

And it seems like he previously had ambitions and talent:

> In December 2017, he graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in social sciences from Washington State. His blog entries, written for a communications class, described aspirations to join the military, law enforcement, or even management at Horizon. [and] In an online profile, Russell wrote he was passionate about “mountains, pastries, and craft beer.” He aspired to visit every national park, and friends from work recalled him often having a book in hand.

I think putting this down to a simple "exploited worker cracks" story is simplistic. He certainly didn't seem particularly resentful:

> A video project for that class contrasted the drudgery of his work life in the soggy Pacific Northwest to the global travel it enabled. “I’m Beebo Russell,” he said, “and I’m a ground-service agent.” Continuing in a chipper voice-over as bags descended from a plane on a conveyor belt, he added with crisp comic timing, “That means I lift a lot of bags. Like, a lot of bags — soooooooo many bags.” Over a selfie in the rain, Russell said, “I usually have to work outside in this. But it allows me to do some pretty cool things too. . . . It evens out in the end.”

His comment about “Minimum wage. We’ll chalk it up to that.” He added, “Maybe that will grease the gears a little bit with the higher-ups.” seems to not capture fully what his motivation was.

> But Matt Scott, the FBI agent, insists “there was never really a clear cut, definitive ‘This is why.’ ” The FBI agent discloses that Russell did text his wife during the incident: “The gist of it is that he’s telling her that she deserved better.”

Sounds like depression in my non-professional opinion (also based on a number of his other comments during the flight)
The older I get, the more I get the urge to return to monke, and just use tmux. Maybe on friday I go all out and boot up a GUI with some type of nifty nature wallpapers showing through my terminals.

FVWM is completely legit as well, albeit a little heavy when compared to TWM or my favorite Rio, with Acme of course. Heavy is relative in this sense, I've run FVWM on reprogrammed childrens toys with the processing power of a warm potato.
I'd call it "odd" rather than "concerning." Guessing they ran this by Legal, but there's something's weird about the TOS/PP existing on a different domain, without any of the branding of the company, and in a Notion doc. It does the job, I suppose.
A cost-benefit analysis can have different answers when applied to an individual vs. a population. That something is rare isn’t much comfort when you’re the one in a million rarity.
This sounds pretty much ideal. Two people [vaguely] familiar with a problem working through it together. Both have the opportunity to evaluate each other. This is exceedingly rare in practice. Obviously you got (and accepted) an offer.

Some of the best interviews I've given and taken have gone roughly this way. It's nearly impossible to set this up intentionally, though.
I get that they need to try new ideas. I also get that continuing to support a failed product doesn’t make business sense.

That being said, I have a hard time getting excited about new releases from these companies, and I have no expectations of them sticking around. Why would I try something that will likely be pulled out from under me if I use it and like it?

I much prefer Apple’s approach. They seem much more intentional about what they release and a while they have had their failures (like Ping), I can usually count on stuff they release getting support and sticking around.
1. It’s not quickly declining into chaos.

Maybe some of the big subs are crap, but the big subs have always been crap. And the vast ocean of smaller subs have plenty of good communities.
My reason to wear a simple watch was to not have to pull out my phone to see the time, not because I think the Ironman watch is particularly pretty.

The Good Enough Parent Is the Best Parent (2015)
Domestically, onshore, many police forces can (and will) seize money, and refuse to return it. Happens at airports, in personal homes, cars, you-name-it. [0]

The state only has to have good reason to believe its proceeds of crime or somehow tainted, and they can grabbital. Your local lawyers Sue,Sue,Grabbit and Run have buckleys chance of getting it back, because they not only can seize it, they can spend it: The state loves funding which is not formally accountable to the GAO. The wiki link below has an example of the cops putting the seized money in the pension fund, and then refusing to return it. They rate the amount of return to innocent citizens remarkably low, judicial process not withstanding. Less than 2-3% class low. Thats right: 90%+ of siezed funds which are demonstrably "innocent" just don't come back.

Proceeds of crime is very broad. That yacht. Looks crimey to me. And that car, and that furniture.

Don't do bad things is fine, but 'don't have inexplicably large amounts of money, be a bit of a nutcase about banking, or have just decided to withdraw the lot in $1 bills for fun' is maybe a bit .. strong?

A friend of mine said he did once arrange to do a major purchase, possibly a house or car, in low denom notes, purely for the joy of seeing that much cash. His bank needed a LOT of persuading to do it, and made him sign some kind of liability waiver. I don't think that was aimed at civil asset seizure, but you know, it wouldn't be wrong, right?

I am btw anything but a libertarian. I believe in the state, the value and utility of the state. But when I learned about this 'cops just took it' thing I was blown away.

Is emacs not the emacs of window managers with exwm?
He makes some great points and I can relate to most of them, but my god do I love my tiling window manager. There is nothing on earth that would convince me to go back to stacking.

IMO, the key thing about tiling window managers is that if you configure it correctly, you always know where everything is, and you're only ever one or two keystrokes (or mouse clicks) away. For example, on my setup, workspace 8 is always Firefox. If I open workspace 8 and Firefox hasn't been launched yet it immediately opens. Workspace 7 is my meassaging app, 6 is discord, 1 is a terminal, and so on. Windows are never hidden behind each other so you never go hunting for anything.

There's also a lot of little customization things that make it feel really nice. Like I can hit a hotkey to size a youtube video to a pixel-perfect, borderless 720p window with other windows filling space around it. Or a global hotkey to hide notifications for the next hour. I have a "get focused" hotkey that will lock the screen and require an admin password if I open the browser.

TWMs are definitely not for everybody. But for me it removes a ton of frustration that I get with stacking window managers, and it lets me customize my own experience in ways that I find super valuable.
Tangentially related: I think the price of veterinary care is likely the best (albeit still an imperfect) estimator of how much human healthcare actually costs. There are virtually no price distortions caused by insurance markets, single payer systems, or strict regulations. It’s the closest thing to a fully free market in healthcare there is.
"https://cosmosmagazine.com/science/new-particle-higgs-axial-... :

> “The detection of the axial Higgs was predicted in high-energy particle physics to explain dark matter. However, it has never been observed. Its appearance in a condensed matter system was completely surprising and heralds the discovery of a new broken symmetry state that had not been predicted.

> “Unlike the extreme conditions typically required to observe new particles, this was done at room temperature in a tabletop experiment where we achieve quantum control of the mode by just changing the polarisation of light.”

> Burch believes the simple setup provides opportunities for using similar experiments in other areas. “Many of these experiments were performed by an undergraduate in my lab,” he says. “The approach can be straightforwardly applied to the quantum properties of numerous collective phenomena, including modes in superconductors, magnets, ferroelectrics and charge density waves. Furthermore, we bring the study of quantum interference in materials with correlated and/or topological phases to room temperature, overcoming the difficulty of extreme experimental conditions.”
> Restricting information to influence their decision making is poisoning that relationship.

They also poison the employee's relationship with the next employer. Once burned, it is a little harder to trust the next employer.
You're right! The current technology is less than perfect, so let's stop trying to improve things and burn fossil fuels forever!

What an excellent take.
I'm an American, but I use "zed" over "zee" in some contexts (such as ham radio) because "zee" is too easily confusable with the other letters it rhymes with: bee, see, dee, gee, pee, tee. It's definitely an advantage. And you don't have to drop into NATO phonetic with its multiple syllables per letter.
I would strongly suggest reading through my extensive post "A (Mostly) Complete Guide to React Rendering Behavior" [0], which walks through what "rendering" actually is, what triggers it, React's default behavior, and ways to optimize the behavior by skipping renders for certain components. The post "When Does React Render Your Component?" [1] is also excellent.

The short summary is that React queues a render when you call some form of `setState()`, renders this component, and by default recursively renders all children inside this component too. Everything else is variations on that idea.

Both are vastly different games though. XCOM allows you to completely turtle though EW expansion countered that. XCOM 2 seems to overly punish safe play and reward aggression.

The downside of the XCOM games is you can lose a whole game on a 80% roll, so it might not condition you properly. The game snowballs, so if you get far enough without losing someone, or lose someone too early, you've basically lost Ironman but it doesn't inform you when.

Battle Brothers is of the genre, with similar flaws. Basically the whole "you lose on day 110 because you didn't knife enough mercenaries on day 31".

Xenonauts I think strikes a good balance. You can lose almost everyone and still continue the game. It's more strategic and less tactical, meaning that if you write the correct SOPs and use sufficient explosives, you should win.

XCOM feels a bit like chess sometimes, in that you lose because you didn't examine the map properly or positioned your sniper too far back.

Creative is a very fuzzy word. For example, why is someone who produces works of art considered “creative”, but someone who creates - for example bridges - an engineer?
It strongly depends on your workflow. If you generally have a single thing maximized on your primary display then a tiling WM will be a big upgrade. i3 (or the Wayland equivalent: Sway) are a great gateway.

I can't say much about floating WMs, as the above paragraph applies to me. They do exist, Hikari seems to be doing some interesting stuff.
These aren't just random libraries that some FAANG dev worked on in their free time. These are company-released libraries and frameworks, that have full time employees working on them. If these companies are willing to pay FAANG engineer salaries for these employees, I expect it to be FAANG level work

As for anecdotal evidence, sure I have some, my professional experience is pretty evenly split between Java and Javascript, both backend and frontend. I feel like they are of equal difficulty, and to me this is obvious as well. It was always in my power to scale up the difficulty as high as I wanted. I have no doubt you won't be happy with this answer though
I grew up in a bad neighborhood in the US and this is what it meant for us: hearing gun shots every other night, experiencing drive by’s at school, frequent helicopters looking for someone, swat team locking down our neighborhood and evacuating everyone, break-ins multiple times, being threatened at knife point by a random stranger, people putting our dumpsters on fire. Lack of opportunity because everyone around us is poor and in the same situation. No sidewalks, roads in bad condition, shitty schools.

We weren’t part of the problem, we were just kids. But it’s easy to get pulled in when you grow up like that. There’s a big difference between visiting or driving through and growing up in such a place where you feel like you always had to watch your back. Because you spend more time in such a place, it increases your chances of bad things happening.

But it also meant, playing around the streets with the neighborhood kids, great food, neighbors giving each other things like food and essentials, a sort of camaraderie that we had each other’s back. Not everything was bad. However, you never feel truly safe.
Some people love to do everything to music, but I, for example, begin to lose focus while listening. Maybe you are more comfortable working while eating or smoking a cigarette? Or it's even simpler, and you just have lack of sleep or motivation. With the latter, unfortunately, you can not always do something, as in the case of studying at university in an uninteresting field of study.

The main thing is not to blame yourself for procrastination. It has already been proven that most people are trapped by deadlines, and it's OK! Productivity increases when deadlines are tight.
