I still slump my shoulders forward at a standing desk

Full screen without having to be a separate window, so cmd+tab works seamlessly. Toggleable transparency.

My wife spends most of her summer 'break' working, including multiple weeks of it being required to be in the classroom or at district offices.

Additionally, during the week, she works waaaay more than 40 hours a week, so even the time during the summer she isn't working I think is really just averaging out from her overtime during the school year.

I wouldn't have a problem with her pay if she actually worked as much as detractors seem to think all teachers do, but her pay:time ratio is awful.

> The "if teachers aren't paid well, why aren't we seeing more of them quit?" is a lousy point. Some jobs are simply more important than others, and its jobs practitioners know that. They are less likely to quit.

They reaaaally like to pull the guilt card every chance they can too. 'Think of the children!', 'If you quit, who will be there for these kids?', etc..

I don't know that removing a lot of the guilt would make teachers quit more, but I do think they would quit bad school environments more in favor of better ones, but they don't want to abandon the kids.

Part of my wife's contract includes wording like 'any duties', so they can add as much arbitrary work as they want

This was great to get an email about since doordash does not let users delete accounts. You can only 'deactivate' in a way that is easy to 'reactivate'. If I would have actually been allowed to delete my account many months ago when I asked maybe I wouldn't have had my information leaked.

The XPS 13 is the worst keyboard I've ever used. It brings me great physical pain to type on it. I had to quit using it as a laptop and exclusively use it with an external keyboard because the finger pain was so great. I know many people (like yourself) don't feel that way, but it was absolutely not acceptable for me.

Thanks to the XPS when I picked out my new laptop keyboard quality/travel was my #1 requirement by a tremendous margin.

No, it's not. This is exactly how I used mine. They weren't hard to write at all because they were just direct notes. It wouldn't run as a program but I didn't need/want it to, I'd just 'edit' the program again to see my notes.

You can do this just as easily as it was to make your original notes

> Every now and then I look at housing costs vs. rental income to consider buying some investment property. But the numbers never work out, I'd always end up loosing money to rent it out.

'Maybe' in the case of buying a new property now to rent. But it's clearly the case for many or there wouldn't be places to rent.

Even if you can avoid too large losses, you can't avoid the possibility of lots of little losses.

See lots of people suggesting random things to learn vim, I'll throw one more on. Just run vimtutor in your terminal. I ran through that two times and felt comfortable enough to switch to it

> In fall of 2011, when a forced lull in kernel development

Can anyone speak to, or link to, what this is referencing?

It's not really a strawman, it's just what people call it when they want to make fun of what people claim to be supply side economics. Whether or not the people who practice it or came up with it call it trickle down is completely irrelevant to discussing "trickle down" economics.

> their push for you to upgrade (with no discount at the end if you didn't use the upgraded features)

This one actually got me this year. They force you to upgrade prior to seeing if the upgrade helps. I 'upgraded' to see if itemizing a certain thing would beat my standard deduction. It didn't, so I removed that whole section. But then I forgot to downgrade and accidentally paid an extra 30-50$ or whatever it was for absolutely nothing- something they could have easily detected.

Obviously the responsibility lies on me for overpaying, but most other businesses wouldn't have taken the extra money for something I didn't use.

Link to the article mentioned 17776, a piece I very much enjoyed: https://www.sbnation.com/a/17776-football

Yes, there's definitely some out there. I got this one this year and I'm very happy with it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C2N7DKG

I prefer my TV a bit smaller, but I found larger 'dumb' tvs as well when looking for this one.

Yes. I bought one this year and I love it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C2N7DKG

I want one for its' safety ratings. I would buy it without autopilot.

> Looks like that particular issue was closed in July 2018?

Yes, after being open for 6 months.

> Also, anybody who considered that feature important enough could have fixed it. It's not rocket science.

First off, maybe- but I was responding to the comment of 'it just works', so that's not relevant. My entire commentary was on 'it just works'. It doesn't really 'just work' if users have to implement their own plugins and fix their own bugs on super popular JS integrations.

Second off, a user did fix it, and it took the devs a month to respond to the PR- so you're still at the mercy of the core devs.

> Certainly 10x easier than when that magical something in the webpack build chain breaks.

And this I'd just have to disagree with you on. Webpack has way more eyes and as a result I have had one issue (bug) with it which had already been fixed. I had many issues using Parcel beyond the one I linked of the most popular front-end framework not working.

It does just work. Until you want to use something that the core devs don't use.

Like having the most popular front end framework be unusable for at least 6 months: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/645

Often you'll need to hope some third party made a plugin or make one yourself, which isn't really any different than using webpack, but the webpack ecosystem is much larger.

I struggled through parcel for a long time before I switched to Webpack 4 and had all of my existing build system and some additional niceties working in <45 minutes (probably 30 min of that was just reading the docs).

Not having to download i3-gaps or feh in exchange for copy/paste and hdpi scaling not working seems like a questionable tradeoff. I'm not sure what 'better multi-window' support means? I've never had issues with i3 windows. Speed has also been non-noticeable.

So it seems like the feature list is 'better gesture support' in exchange for a lot of downsides?

I am not trying to be dismissive, but I see so many people evangelizing it over i3, I feel like I have to be missing something. I can't believe there's a single person who finds those tradeoffs acceptable outside of those who want it to be good eventually and are working towards that.

You can float windows in i3 if you wanted to do this. I also have a hotkey to make my window 80% transparent so I can reference docs while keeping my editor fullscreen.

But yeah, if that's your big use case, seems like you just prefer non-tiling workflows.

I can't tell if you were aware by your comments, but in a tiling window manager you don't have to have everything visible all the time. They all have modes that hide windows behind others and allow you to swap between them the same as alt-tab. Many of them also have the option to 'float' the windows as a normal non tiling window manager would.

Would they not get long term capital gains rates?

IDA also has a freeware version (that has some restrictions) https://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/support/download_freew...

Correct. There's some more details in this (unfinished) article: https://volt.ws/game

My understanding is that wages from the restaurant are fixed and tips do not count towards them unless the employee does not hit minimum wage- at which point the restaurant has to pay them more. I have never heard of a restaurant paying an employee less because they got more tips.

But I have never worked in a restaurant so I could be completely wrong.

This is part of what turned me away from Nim, so it's good to hear that. Can you give some examples of some features you've removed recently? I notice you're not at 1.0, so are you comfortable ignoring the 'annoying too many people' part if you think there's enough of a reason to remove something?
