I miss the Windows 98 days where almost all apps used the same generic UI and the visuals drifted into the background like noise and I just saw buttons and checkboxes. That’s the worst part of webapps is that they have their own look’n’fee

In my books… I love Maven. I cannot think of another tool of that age that has afed as gracefully. Java IDEs are really among the best but I imagine C# in Visual Studio or Smalltalk might really be better. That these are someone’s problems

How hard is it to get a suggestion like that in? I mean it seems fool proof, make it optional and there should be no problem.

I wonder if there is a way to crowdfund actually producing a batch of these? I mean you'd need to redesign the shell and a few more things, but ought to be doable. Either as printable STLs in TEP or as a group-buy. Also, I think it&#x2

I mean a GPS geo-fence is pretty simple and fail safe. I'm more worried about something like humans unexpectedly in the field. Imagine a migrant crossing a field and getting run over by a combine.

If AI training becomes something that only happens with surplus power and takes the place of BitCoin mining non-sense that could really be a net positive.

Yeah, but what is the rush? I mean 1) what if something critical changes, and 2) I could easily see some setting somewhere being at "-rc" which causes a bug later. Frankly, not waiting half a week is bright orange flag to me.
