I do actually use it all the time. We share some slack channels with external partners but email is the main mode for some others and I have to send code, interfaces, etc on occasion and copy pasting from VS Code maintains the formatting in

It's not even a secret. Sure we didn't learn the true nature of those schools in our classwork growing up, but it's been called out even in pop culture for the past several decades. Gord Downie even made a film about it. I do

I thought he was more held up as an archetype of the "strange" ones who people misunderstand at first, but end up contributing in a large way. That's why he was plastered on classrooms and his image used in anti-bullying camp

That's more or less the plan! But on a small scale for self-deployment. Thankfully had a little experience with high bitrate streams at Rogers, at least superficially. Did your team build the player itself as well? The meter for bitrat

Well we’re aligned on the social media front. I’m working on spinning up a label for managing a personal release, and as part of it want to be able to self host and stream some tracks from releases or singles for free without just linking a

I’ve been subscribed for several years. It’s excellent. The general approach inspired something I’m working on now on the side.

Mummification is even worse than that, but it had a perceived benefit for its proponents.

I don’t know that we’ll escape that completely. I mean, for every true spiritual guide there are charlatans, for every shop owner there are thieves, for every great artist their imitators.

And because of Motown you have Neil Young, the Blues Brothers films, Dave Chapelle's unflappable impressions of Rick James, Rodriguez (kind of?), the list goes on!

Reminds me of Kevin O'Leary. Buddy toppled a software industry at the height of the first internet boom. That's either a special kind of incompetence or something worse. They almost always seem to get bingo; the companies and th

I think you're talking about something completely different now. I was just picking on your line about going from the "old answer" that the earth was 6000 years old to the "new answer" of science-based reasoning. I

Those are the mundane fundamentalists I noted. They're not the sole bearers of power throughout history. Probably the minority, since they're usually responsible for reductions in their own power, and the power of the people they

Going on a tangent, but to be fair I don't think the old answer was ever that the Earth/reality/the universe/all/etc is only 6000 years old. Isn't that more of a modern misinterpretation of ancient mystical chi

No not at all. I wasn't bemoaning anything, myself. I'm saying that is a part of the question of what the articles are discussing, not something as singular as poo-pooing hard work or making money. But questioning whether hard wor

I'm sure it's ultimately an amalgam of who you are, your hard work, and good fortune that got you where you are. I do believe you have to work to prepare yourself to make the most of whatever comes your way. If it all was so sim

If you lack the intuition, it might not be because it doesn't exist. It might be because you were not so intuitive, at least about the nature of the people around you. I don't mean that to sound negative, some people have good for

You're misinterpreting the discussion, I think. I can't tell if it's intentional or not. Nobody was coming down on anyone for their accomplishments. My intended contribution was that some (or in my experience, many) people in

Fair point—that line was a bit tongue-in-cheek. But I'm comfortable living with contradictions, so I do believe there is a meritocracy, but I don't believe it's total. Only wading in the shallows because I actually have some

Funny enough, I think you're saying the same thing I am but looking at it from a different angle. I'm not saying JS-forward web apps shouldn't exist. I'm saying that some services should not only offer JS-forward web app

MDMA and LSD are marginalized? Everyone I've ever known has either tried them or knows someone who has. Psilocybin even more so. That was practically a rite of passage growing up in rural Canada.

It sounded like an intuition rather than a conclusion. It’s an intuition that’s very familiar to those born without a leg up. There’s always hope. This isn’t about hope. It’s about seeing things as they are, as the parent suggested.

Hippies are marginalized? I thought all of that movement has been more or less mainstreamed over the past forty years. This isn’t exactly Crowley’s England.
