Eugene has been a one-party town for forty years.

The lengths to which devs will go not to collaborate.

Would "I take sole responsibility" work better for you?

It's very extensible. Take a look at CiviCRM, Give, and many other sophisticated extensions, not to mention WooCommerce. Drupal-based businesses facing a complex upgrade often found Wordpress could do everything they needed.

Is this a necessary hypothesis when we can explain the situation simply enough by cutting straight to "politicians [are] lazy, incompetent, or corrupt"?

Particularly if we define or replace "corrupt" by "extracting funds in every practicable way," which is observable behavior (regardless of reason or motivation) and which is _not_ covered in your explanation?

It's different, but evidently it's still schlingable.

> ... one need not work, need not get sick, need not die[.]

One of these is not like the others.

> Your brain is really bad at thinking carefully. You have to train yourself to think carefully despite how shitty your brain is at it.

What is "you" in this scenario if not your brain?

So what makes Muse "very sticky"?

"Muse Spark Open was optimized to run on Mac Studio with M5 Ultra, and together they’re the best way to run a powerful model on your own desktop."

Soon after these became ubiquitous in grocery stores, the manufacturer stopped using butter. I don't buy them anymore.

Very fair. Someone is disappointed and out of money. Still, there is a non-zero chance that attendees were extremely few; it's certainly happened in other cases. As long as communications like the press release are vague, we can't know.

Lack of interest, since attendee registration was "significantly" down.

According to the announcement, "individual registrations … came in significantly below prior years", so it seems few attendees will suffer financially.

Large companies' IT departments claim a lot of reasons for their policies. Often the underlying reason is unstated, and has more to do with convenience of governance or with sales relationships.

The creatine market is seeing rapid growth projected to average over 25% year-over-year[0].

Very little about modern technology "makes sense" in the way you mean. But it does currently make money.

Once every 24 hours seems sufficient for the stated purpose.

Advice: It's important to use something like Stretchly to enforce resting our eyes. I started to get real relief and healing only when I enforced a two-minute eye break every twenty-minutes -- that sounds like way too much, but at the time it was necessary. Now I do the standard twenty seconds per twenty minutes.

Many traditional managers manage with their gut. They distrust metrics because they don't understand the work being done and because they suspect every worker is doing as little as possible. When workers are onsite, these managers gauge how to rank them largely based on their affect toward the manager. When workers are offsite, managers of this type are frustrated and suspicious and adopt naive monitoring measures as a grasp at control.

People are basically good citizens, unless or until they aren't. Something like online vandalism tends to eventuate as a movement, even if a casual or arbitrary one.

Once in China, however, aren't escapees routinely exploited by organized crime?

Dell Pro P2425.

If I had the budget and always worked on a Mac I might spring for an Apple Studio but it would have to have the nano-texture glass.

Resolution obviously plays a big part, but for me 1440 is fine.

I look for high refresh rate and high nits. Also bearing in mind there are various ways some manufacturers fudge IPS. So I tend to stick with a make I know.

I'm sure they'd still prefer that. However, a team on another continent can become a black box organizationally in a way even a remote individual probably can't. Or at least the size of the effect is much less.

At my age or with my history of close screen work, how a screen effects eye fatigue is my only concern. With a bad or standard-issue screen I'll have eye and head pain immediately. For this, I haven't found anything better than high-quality IPS. Maybe others have had different experiences.

> To generate code that I don’t enjoy writing (e.g. regular expressions & CSS)

Isn't there a counter-argument to be made that those should go to team members who enjoy them?

I don't think college is "suffering" for everyone. In fact, for many, it's a very enjoyable challenge and experience.

> It certainly feels like its possible to learn to write it without learning to read it.

There's a perhaps subtle difference between possible and viable.
