I mostly saw the value from watching Twitch coding streams. I found "The Mouseless Dev" book really helpful in setting up Archlinux with i3 and VIM as a guideline to try it out, then once I saw the value spent some time setting up MacOS with Yabai and similar hotkeys to my Archlinux setup. I'll say, it's pretty much increased my productivity by 3-4x and keeps my mind fully engaged on the coding task at hand.

The main feature that requires SIP to be disabled is managing multiple workspaces without animating the swap between them which saves a ton of time and is key to the seamless feel. There are some workarounds of course, but there's no way to get around the 1-2s animation without turning off SIP.

Glad there's someone else who's seen the light, I'll never go back :). I wish it was more natively supported, it might make me make the switch to MacOS for good (well if they fix their new trash keyboards and ditch USB-C).

The hardest part for me was finding a good dotfile to base my hotkeys off of, and it's not quite as performant of course.

Yabai is awesome and a complete game changer on MacOS with skhd setup as a hotkey daemon. I set it up to mirror my i3 setup on ArchLinux and couldn't be happier. Switching to that and VIM per "The Mouseless Dev" book sped up my coding speed 3-4 times within a few months. I recommend everyone try to make the switch, but few are brave enough to do so.

Gun possession is a non-violent crime. It’s insane that Lil Wayne can’t possess a gun because he once possessed a gun in a place that only the rich, well connected, or retired police officers can possess a gun.

The second part is reminiscent of how “net neutrality” is pitched in the United States. I’ve never felt that definition was true net neutrality due to the reason you outlined.

There’s no law banning the “stockpiling” of weapons in any locale of the United States or at the federal level. You can own hundreds of rifles, shotguns, and handguns even in places like NYC as long as you purchase/possess/register the guns in accordance with all local laws.

Most major cities have additional gun restrictions compared to surrounding suburban/rural areas.

The way you phrased this is funny because it can be interpreted as either a pro gun or anti gun statement:

1. Civilians should be able to keep or carry a firearm without a license.

2. No civilian should be able to keep or carry a firearm.

In America licenses are not generally required to purchase handguns, rifles, or shotguns except in the more restrictive states. And each year more and more states are trending towards being able to carry without a permit as well.

This guy already broke every “sensible gun regulation” in the book:

1. Unregistered destructive devices per federal law

2. Unregistered assault rifle per federal law

3. Unregistered rifle per DC law

4. Carrying a handgun without a license per DC law

If anything this seems like another case of criminals not following the law.

I think you should question your surety. Most states ban modern day assault rifle calibers for hunting deer because they are too small in diameter to do enough damage and deliver a humane kill. Hunting calibers (.308, .243 win, 30.06) are much larger and more powerful than the 5.56/5.45 the modern M4-pattern and AK74 use.

In addition, per wartime regulations the worlds armies are only allowed to use FMJ which leaves a much smaller wound channel. Hunting rounds are typically soft point or hollow point and expand on impact to leave a much larger wound channel to increase the likelihood of a humane kill.

God I hope so. I'm in for Larry Sharpe all the way.

Certain things were worse, certain things were better. Unfettered access to opiates prior to the FDA's formation never led to a crisis like we are seeing today.

I agree with you 100%, but these agencies are often headed by former executives of companies which they pretend to vilify.

Very true, Ben Sasse recently had a good statement on this topic at the Kavanaugh hearings.

Is there anyway to reverse course in the USA and remove power from these alphabet agencies that claim they know what's best for us? What happened to being a free people who could make their own decisions?

NYC is a nice place to believe in in an idealistic way, but crummy when it comes to the nitty gritty function of the city.

Why not just let the market sort it out without a congestion fee? Surely there's a point at which there is so much traffic that people will stop taking uber/lyft and prefer to take the subway. Why should the government set an arbitrary bar to that?

For what?

Last year they allowed Fix NICS to be coupled with the concealed carry reciprocity act, so one side gets enhanced background checks and the other side gets an easier time concealed carrying - https://www.nraila.org/articles/20171206/house-passes-concea....

That sounds like budging to me.

This is false, the NRA has compromised as recently as last year. Here's an article from their website congratulating the concealed carry reciprocity act being coupled with the background check fixing bill - https://www.nraila.org/articles/20171206/house-passes-concea....

That's what a compromise looks like, gun owners get easier concealed carry rules and everybody gets safer gun purchases via enhancements to the NICS system.

NRA won't budge an inch? What do you call the National Firearms Act of 1934, the Gun Control Act of 1968, the Hughes Amendment of 1986, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1994, not to mention all the state based bans on everything under the sun from a pistol grip to a "shoulder thing that goes up to two year waiting periods to possess a simple handgun.

Actually crime rates in Australia and the USA decreased similarly in the period following Australia's gun ban, despite America's inaction.

Why would they want to do that? If they allow this to occur they can post better growth numbers to their shareholders.

I'm with you, hotels are instant to book while airbnbs you have to correspond and have this whole personal experience, no thanks. Also I can't in good conscious support them after having to buzz in a drunk airbnber at 2AM who was ringing every single apartment in my building because they lost their key.

Likewise, Cabs are much cheaper and faster to grab than Ubers in my NYC neighborhood (east village). Don't believe the hype...

Awesome videos man! Resonated with me since I live in the East Village as well

It's crazy that as a citizenry we allow our police to operate in this manner. Kansas is a constitutional carry state, in which all adult citizens are legally allowed to carry a pistol on their person without a permit.

Why should the presence of a firearm, or the reach for a pocket or "long black stick", be a death sentence for a citizen? Why do we allow state actors to behave in this way at all?

You're totally right, from the Rockaways to Riverdale cars are difficult to obtain for the majority of NYC's residents. I meant that New York is a 'driving city' in the sense that for-hire drivers such as cabs, Vias, etc are ubiquitous and necessary.

Cycling has several benefits, but I believe the current situation makes it a hard sell. I don't believe cars will organically leave the road as more people turn to bicycles, and I don't believe cyclists can coexist with the current volume of vehicles. Proposed initiatives to limit this number, such as Bloomberg toll for driving through Manhattan, seem totalitarian.

Cars are dangerous, but when I cross the street I am pretty certain the driver will be following basic laws: such as driving the correct way on a one-way street or stopping at a red light. The same can not be said for cyclists, in fact I witness them and their motorized bicycle cohorts breaking these laws every single day.
