I agree that it should stay in the running. I'd like to see more tech in the south - there's too much on the West Coast.

Now, you could say "everyone should exercise", and maybe so. But any tangible evidence for the long-term benefits helps. Sure, there's general evidence of benefits, but in my (limited, dated) exposure to the literature, general exercise research is not necessarily compelling enough, especially given the difficulties in pulling out correlations between exercisers and other associated activities or traits.

I find exercise boring, and I'm definitely looking to minimize exercise necessary to maximize its benefits.

By the way, the genetic research on predisposition to side effects to drugs and such is also extremely compelling. It's sad that the medical world is still so far from even trying to do precision medicine.

Is that post available somewhere?

Not really. I only use a handful of desktop apps due to the rise of self-hosted and browser apps.

"To determine patent liability asserted by Facebook, we need to assess Facebook’s various patents and their claims. Or more specifically, which Facebook patents claim any underlying React technology? As the above illustrates, this is not a trivial question. But in my cursory search, that answer is zero. (Again, if you have examples, send them over.) Moreover, it would suprise me given the USPTO and courts general disfavor of software patents if Facebook had anything patentable in React, much less actually patented. The prior art of componetization, diffing, and virtual doms circa 2013 is very well known, and I don’t see any applicable continuation patent applications."

I think I first heard it while studying sociology in 2006; signals were also a common topic in my econ degree.

If people really care about 16:10, it's available with reasonably good specs and they can buy it. If they don't, it will probably die permanently, but we can't exactly blame the market.

Hopefully they don't wise up.

Also, picking an original idea is skill.

If the idea is not original or unusually compelling, then marketing is even more important.

There's more to business than code. Happy to offer some tips on competitive strategy and moat building if you'd like, altho I'm just an hobbyist investor with an econ degree from a former life.

While I don't want to sound condescending or like a promoter of fad philosophies, I've found that meditation and reading Stoic philosophy and really helps to build a thicker skin.

You sound as if resentment / envy is deeply poisoning you, and yet in the scope of business schemes it is really nothing.

Also, based upon your attitude here, it's not surprising that collaboration ended. Most people are insecure and envious, but you can't found companies with people like that as they will kill the company.

There's a pull request for mypy protocols which moves further toward structural subtyping: https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/3132

I keep a lot of personal information organized. I go thru bookmarks about once a week and move them to text notes. Something I want to learn? It goes into an anki flash card. General reference? Goes into my markdown notes, or I might edit the appropriate Wikipedia aricle instead. Helpful for a side project? Toss it the project readme for later.

I also use something like Trello (zenkit) to keep a long list of "maybe never" projects where I can toss cool stuff I'll probably never get into. These may be organized as well, so if I see something cool about say, game programming in C, I can toss it into the existing maybe never game coding project note.

Also, if I have unread bookmarks that can be understood/used without coding, I read them on the go with my phone as much as possible.

As someone who hacks on a SaaS with a sprawling feature set which ships often, I understand where you're coming from. But I would recommend giving things like that some thought.

I couldn't stand IdeaVim, the one for the Jetbrains IntelliJ platform - felt very buggy. Such as when you open a modal and it remains in Normal mode so you can't enter text.

Currently using https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim when using VSCode which is better but still got some rough edges.

Despite a fair bit of use and study - mostly using neovim - I feel that I haven't got as much from vim as I'd expected or hoped. Switching from Normal to Insert mode - even when you get good at the one-time Normal mode commands - doesn't always elegant.

There's all sorts of configurations and plugins that try to plug the gaps, but it's such a huge effort to assemble them all. For example, just installed https://github.com/terryma/vim-multiple-cursors today to attempt get the elegant multiple selection of modern text editors.
