I would love to have these coding challenges. But if I have to commit a Sunday evening just for it, I really don't think it's worth it.

Funny, its the MacOS apologists that usually are religious about their OS. Gamers who use Windows and devs using Unix seem not to mind. As an aside, I have almost the same setup as you(just waiting for the 5950x). Probably the most bang for

From what I understand, they were planning to serve 5-10 minute "chapters". In a pandemic, I think people would prefer longer form of content.

The quote "If you do not pay, you are the product" implied that if you pay, you are not the product. That is, a profile won't be built around you to be tracked and manipulated. Today it's more like "You are the prod

It's not clear to me if plugging the camera via USB would provide enough power to the camera without using batteries. Is that the case?

But customers still pay in spite of that. And that is what ultimately matters.

Yes, that's what I mean. Unix underneath + a better UI interface is essentially what MacOS offers.

But isn't that why most developers buy Macbooks? Because it is Unix underneath? In a related note, I see Windows being adopted more as they keep improving WSL2.

How would you propose to do this when most of the megacorps are publicly owned by shareholders? I think that's part of the problem. Perverse incentives.

I can do away Vim itself. It's the modal editing feature that I really need. That's why I am satisfied with IdeaVim even if it is not a full blown Vim instance.

> The app now has a special licensing setup that restricts your installs to two machines. That's the one thing that pushed me to Figma. It was bad enough that it's MacOS only. Now I can only have it on 2 machines?
