Looking at you flow state (<_<) I wonder if that also relates to my ADHD hyperfocus.

What if I use my own proprietary encryption algorithm? If I don't specify a file extension, then how could they tell what algorithm is used -- it's just a scramble of bytes. In fact, what if encryption one day gets so good we cann

Does "good enough" satisfy the definition of "Leveler" though? How can we objectively predict that "good enough" would still not cause offense? I personally think not because I do not think "good enough&qu

As someone that feels they fit the "Super-reasonable" criteria, I personally struggle with this aspect: it takes me a long and stressful amount of time to be able to think of how to respond to people in a "Leveler" manne

I think this argument is an ad hominem. Attacking the person and their motives does not address the actual substance of zir ideas and current actions.

I still haven't checked it out myself yet, but https://twist.com/ markets itself as actually asynchronous communication instead of the constant distraction that Slack/Teams is.

True, but life eats life: the universe is a fucked up place in general. We can iterate and strive for the ideal/perfect, but I think we gotta be pragmatic with the short time we get to experience it. And "perfect" might mostl

Honestly, getting marketing and sales to follow these practices would go further than software engineers.

I think requiring physical presence in an office justifies differing salaries based on geographic location. I think remote employees are the only reasonable scenario for same work, same pay. There are real quality of life implications for l

I think there is always going to be diversity in how humans choose to live. Just like the Amish, whom have neglected much modern technology in their world, there will always be cultures that choose a different path. Some will want to never

I do miss being able to use Xmonad, but definitely checkout Amethyst[0] if using MacOS. [0]: https://ianyh.com/amethyst/

I do not know much about burning plastic, but is it really zero drawbacks to do so? Intuition tells me harmful chemicals would be released. Is it that the burning would be contained and the air filtered?

You can also use washable towels to pat dry.

Yes! Also logging just about everything and then being able to query your own data in objective ways.

I'm skeptical of that second video. Looks like the woman screaming (also not wearing a mask) was not being arrested. There were also a suspiciosly high number of professional cameramen and cops there for just not wearing a mask...

I lean towards believing that such age restrictions have a counter-effect: causing youth to be less prepared and abuse what is restricted after finally being allowed. For example, more binge drinking in the US compared to other countries w

This pretty much sums up my sentiment as well. I think people should comment their disagreement instead of downvote. Others can then upvote the response, but at least dialogue can remain open. I've actually considered using a screenna

First and foremost, I strongly believe in educating or encouraging, but am strongly against forcing/coercing. A big part is likely just normalizing that it is okay not to have kids: in particular, there is so much social pressure to ha

I do not want to take away any positives from having kids; however, I do think we should strongly consider whether we would actually be good parents and if we would be able to prepare them to live in a world where the bar is raising exponen

I will try not to complain about my parents, but one of the big side-effects is that I do not want kids and have had a vasectomy to prevent that. Not the only reason, but a relevant one. I think more people should choose not to have kids a

I believe Markor[0] might satisfy your needs of having a TODO.txt editor that has no sync capabilities. I have to use in combination with Dropsync[1] to sync my notes. Admittedly, I only use Markor for my plaintext notes and rely on Todo.t

I strongly empathize. I usually wait a few seconds, then just flash my high beams for most situations.

This is a very interesting perspective. Though, I think technology is the big differentiating factor between movies and books. The quality of CGI, special effects, resolution, cameras, etc. are constantly improving and I think a significan

Give someone an inch and they'll take a mile. It's not that it's just a mask, it's potentially a small step towards seizing our freedoms. I agree that it does seem a bit irrational when just focusing on masks, but not n
