   There’s a massive opportunity to make VR shopping experiences. Just try Redfin VR and see how cool it is for shopping for houses. I want to shop for other big purchases that way.

   Hobbies like playing guitar, producing music, long dog walks, running, hiking, cooking, reading fiction; basically anything besides screen time does the trick for me.

   I love ebiking around Seattle, we’ve determined it’s faster than our car for 2 mile trips too. Also feels like cheating because you can always park right outside wherever you’re going. The “utility” ebike with cargo basket was the game chan

   A therapist would really help, I’ve had a few that helped me through existential crises. This site is a great way to find one: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us

   Same here in Seattle! But I also use an ebike to get everywhere within five minutes if needed and for carrying heavy groceries and dealing with steep hills.

    Companies like Sweetwater do this right. They have “sales engineers” that help you find what you’re looking for over the phone or text message or email. It probably doesn’t scale but as a customer, I don’t care as it saves me so much resear

    “ Similarly, we don’t write unit tests for every new feature. The thing that hinders our ability to unit test is precisely the focus on static structures. Static methods and properties are global, harder to replace at runtime, and therefore

    The Start button in Windows 11 uses Lottie, along with the various other new animated icons. WinUI has an AnimatedIcon control that makes them easy to integrate: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/d

    So quill was like Slack, but it forced every new message to be a new thread or a reply to a thread?

    Alternatively you can use WinUI within a WPF app using XAML Islands. Enables you to incrementally migrate away from WPF towards a WinUI 3-based app.

    Yep, single 38” 3840x1600 ultrawide or 43” 4K TV for me. With a small 14” USB-C portable touch monitor as needed for testing touch and pen input.

    It doesn’t matter how big of a company they are, the only thing that matters financially is whether they’re growing or not.

    I think 0.1x (or even negative x) software engineers are more common. The ones that introduce bad bugs, don’t accept feedback, don’t communicate well with PM and design, always want to refactor things… they can take a whole team down.

    Kindle also has great integration with Overdrive though. I use the Libby app on my phone to send library books to my Kindle. They get delivered directly from Amazon and it’s the same experience as if you had bought it.

    The best part of these is the Bluetooth speakers and Bose Frames do that without the creepy cameras. It’s really nice to go running without earbuds.

    The book A Random Walk Down Wall Street is a good start.

    I started using Libby a month ago and have probably read ten books since then. It’s awesome how well integrated it is with Kindle. Having multiple books checked out at once combined with the three week return time is very motivating for me

    I’m looking forward to it, but I’ll be commuting by ebike more often now. Less bus and train, more exercise!

    Perhaps Apple should add “at home iCloud server” support to Macs so you can selfhost your personal iCloud, and keep all your data on your own property with easy UX.

    There’s a setting for left aligned, but Fitts Law is overrated for the Start menu. None of the apps on your taskbar have ever benefited from it, and you probably click those all the time, much more than the Start button.
