I don't know why, but anything on Softpedia makes me very skeptical.

Also, it's been a long time now since ReSharper was "needed" to work in VS. ReSharper also bogged down VS a lot.
Too slow. Moved to https://github.com/m-khvoinitsky/dark-background-light-text-...
Which country? "The average American works 34.4 hours per week, as of May 2019. For people between 25-54, the national average work week comes in at 40.5 hours."
How is autocomplete better in Rider? Faster coming up with suggestions? More helpful suggestions? IntelliSense and IntelliCode in latest VS versions is pretty decent...
Performance in VS has improved since going 64-bit.
What refactorings are unique to Rider?
UI? What features?
Your statements smells of preference and sound vague.
Doing any of this at google.com scale? Not happening.
I suggest, like you, OP look into niches. That's how you can break down every one of his 3 statements.
A search engine that specifically rules out every mainstream site? I'd be into that. A search engine built specifically for devs? Again, great. A search engine for blogs not built on Wordpress? Great. An academic search engine? I'd like that, too.
I agree, people are attached, but there are ways to mitigate, at least Duck is trying with their bangs.
A better way to mitigate is creating a niche, like you're suggesting, which is what I only hinted at. Even though I am attached to a particular engine, or website, I would use, IN ADDITION, niche engines.
BTW: What problems have you identified that google.com has, and what are your suggested solutions?
2. It sounds like you have to decide if you want to make money or solve problems you deem worthy of solving. If it's the latter, make money first. Funds allow you to work on passion projects, even hire a team. Passion projects are not much fun if you worry about paying bills.
3. Problems like global warming is something you won't solve on your own, but a single person can still create valuable contributions. It's not abstract. Simply work on anything that reduces/captures emissions, anything reducing energy use, or technology that replaces that which is heavy on emission.
Remember, everyone has blind spots. Seniors especially can have blatant and surprising ones.
Where I'm at we know our documentation is bad and our systems complex, so diligently treating every question, whether from a junior or senior, with respect and answering in a manner that teaches and inspires confidence is seen as a duty. A "simple" question will often prompt workshop-like answers with whiteboarding, etc.
When you walk away from that conversation you should feel good about having dared to ask what you might have thought was a "stupid" question. The next time you ponder whether to ask for help or not you should hopefully feel less hesitant.
Anyone brushing off or not taking a junior's questions seriously should keep in mind that they too have blind spots.
No idea how these articles manage to reach the front page.
Not comparing for large compiles. Like the article says, the problem is cold-start performance.
Just look at his example and how slow dotnet run is, even for a program just outputting hello world.
Also useless, because it is very likely you cannot read the article at the moment you receive the notification, because you are busy.
I don't know what Substack is, but it seems similar to Medium, and as such an app is unnecessary. You don't need apps to display and read text, I already have a web browser. Distraction-free reading? Just make sure your pages are compatible with Reader View, or better yet, make a distraction free design in the first place.
Flow or (focus mode) is my "ignorance is bliss" equivalent.
I think you're wrong in saying there's a limit when it comes to AR.
Our smartphones are AR devices, a poorly interfaced cybernetic extension. It's a cumbersome device yet unimaginably successful.
This poor AR device has constraints that will always hamper it. It must be of a certain size to display anything useful/readable and to be a useful touch-operated device.
If people put up with this poor device and it's slow information delivery, due to the poor human-computer interface, then they sure as hell will put up with AR devices of the future.
This new wave of AR need not have near as hampering constraints.
AR has the potential to be more successful than the modern smartphone when products are as uncumbersome, lightweight and comfortable to wear as regular glasses/sunglasses, while having the technical specs to augment reality with razor sharp and useful 2D and 3D overlays, and sound.
I see no reason people will be more reluctant to put on a pair of sunglasses than carry an iPhone in their pocket or purse.
Then there are other AR product forms, like contact lenses.
AR has a wide host of useful applications, both civilian, social (recreational), military, engineering, medicine, etc. That's not the future, for most of these branches it is already in great use. There's a ton of R&D going on in this space.
Public, as in unsecured, not with intent.
