That seems like a weird situation to optimize for. 24" between your laptop screen and your face is really not a lot of space.

>if you want to eat plants just eat plants.

The thing about meat is that it tastes good

>Though I always wondered if the animal rights type of vegetarians eat this stuff

Some don't like it, but I do. As long as it resembles processed meat instead of intact animal parts (like chicken wings, for example), I'm not bothered by it at all. It might as well be any other processed plant-based food to me.

Tbh I would rather have to take painkillers sometimes than do keto intermittent fasting every day with organic vegan weeks.

Besides, you might be confusing correlation with causation a bit? My sister and mother probably eat healthier than I do and still get disabling migraines sometimes. My diet is "basically whatever, just no animal parts and not too much junk food" and I've never gotten one.

Deep Work by Cal Newport was great.

If only I could actually apply its principles at my job in an open office with an IM chat system.

I'm not sure it's possible to sink Trump's reputation among Trump supporters at this point.

>But balance that against the 100s or 1000s of times you used google maps and it just worked, perfectly, because it reduced the number of inputs needed to use it to the bare minimum.

I can't, because the autocomplete/dropdown/prediction for saved locations is disabled if you don't enable Google's device-wide "Web and App Activity" spyware function. This means I have to type my address every time I want directions home, even though I manually saved it. It's hot garbage.

Another very common usecase which is impossible: getting directions to a place and then looking at the street view so I'll know what it looks like. I have to remember to check street view before the search or redo the search entirely. Again, hot garbage, and inexcusable for a company spending bazillions of dollars on UX people.

Tumblr blogs often include people's names, faces, and/or details about their personal lives. That's very much personally identifiable information! And while they did post it publicly, they likely didn't do so with the intention of it being saved forever in a publicly available, easily searchable archive. This especially applies for porn blogs where people post their own original content.

There's certainly value in archiving social media but I think it has to be balanced against the harms, instead of defending the practice with literal religious fervor and dismissing all criticism out of hand.

Is there a real-world workload that would need 1.5TB of RAM?

There's also "askeynemma", which sounds a little like a disease

>minimum lovable product

If I ever hear anyone say that in real life, I will die on the spot.

The big problem with using a software portfolio is that plenty of competent engineers don't have impressive work that they can share. If you don't (or can't, because of other obligations like parenting) code in your free time and aren't a recent graduate, you probably don't have much to show.

Of course, difficult whiteboard interviews that require studying to pass have the same problems probably and give less useful information. So, :shrug:.

There's more Haskell-based software out there than the stuff that's open source or advertised as being Made With Haskell

Also, isn't hemp-derived CBD more or less inert? My understanding is that there's some evidence for positive psychological effects from cannabis-derived CBD but not for hemp-derived.

My frustration is with the higher end cards right now. At $700, you get similar performance now with an RTX 2080 Super as you would have with a GTX 1080 Ti two and a half years ago.

My uneducated guess is that this is caused by a lack of competition in that range from AMD. I'm hoping Intel shakes things up when they join the market.

>There are even custom words for common terms.

I think this is like half the problem

Basic CS/programming. I would have loved to have the opportunity to take something in high school comparable your average CS 101 class (and stretched out over two semesters for sanity purposes.)

I would have gotten much more out of that than something more general or less technical.

Yeah, I work at another large tech company and I'm pretty sure all of my coworkers know that stuff or would be able to easily figure it out.

I can't speak for Diaspora, but Mastodon isn't any harder to use than Twitter. It's mostly network effects that keep people there.

I've yet to meet a programmer who strongly defends open offices. They seem to range from "doesn't mind it" to "literally unable to tolerate it."

>Thinking of switching a job, thinking of getting a divorce, becoming a whistleblower, investigating symptoms of a disease you may have, forming or joining a union. Or even just showing your irrational spending habits.

Almost everything you've listed there is solved by using private browsing and pseudonyms. That's not strong anonymity. You don't need Tor to unionize.

They're Pro because they block out the noise surrounding you when you're trying to work in a godawful open-plan office

I'm very proud of them for coming up with a keyboard that's almost as good as the one on the $700 laptop I had nine years ago

That seems backwards. Dense cities are where mass transit is a viable alternative to cars. It would make more sense to focus on that in cities and focus on self-driving cars where individual cars are unfortunately a requirement, like the suburbs.

(Ideally we would Upzone All The Things and the vast majority of Americans would live in places dense enough for cars to be unnecessary, but making NIMBYs stop NIMBYing is harder than just making better tech.)

A technically-inclined person can beat them pretty easily (at least on the privacy/ethics front) by spending $5 on a Digital Ocean droplet and spinning up Nginx.

I'm pretty sure Windows 10 LTSB exists for this specific use case

That seems really unlikely. People are used to devices being things that you buy once and keep forever without a subscription. Why would Microsoft go out on a limb and do something weird like that?

The fact that supply and demand creates this kind of situation is a good reason not to rely too much on it.

It will if you accomplish it by taking the money you would have given to CEOs and giving it to workers instead.

It should have more in common with traditional forums than Twitter or Reddit. It should also be decentralized to avoid monopoly-producing network effects.

>What kind of advantage does it give you if you're just trying to Bogle your way into buying mutual funds until retirement?

I'd guess none? I think it just gives you access to riskier forms of investment like hedge funds.
