For me it was remembering what my bindings were for every little thing. I’m a guy who built his own keyboard for extra macro keys. I have 12 extra off the left side. It worked out very nicely, and it was a pretty smooth experience. Until I was using my computer to laze about at 11pm with a slightly foggy mind.

I just don’t want to think about how to move incredibly quickly around the computer. Easy point and click is all the effort I want to muster, sometimes.

That article says the disease arrived in Europe in December, but the earliest case occurred in China in November.

My interpretation of that posters argument is that someone who posts as much as this reddit user can’t be putting much effort into finding these links. That means there’s more lowest-common-denominator type content that people look at very quickly, upvote, and move on. That type of thing pushes out interesting discussion style posts, which is something that happens in every subreddit that gets large enough. Not sure what the solution is.

His point about “most” users disliking it is questionable, and might be misconstruing the thoughts of a vocal minority, but I think there’s some merit to an anti-hedonistic mindset when it comes to reddit style content posting.

I highly doubt he thinks climate denial is a genetic presupposition.

That does sound like a decent idea if it could be incentivized strongly enough. It also sounds like a fun problem to work on, on the coding side of things.

The only objection I can think of that an honest police department might have against this sort of analysis taking place is that some figures might be taken out of context or not adequately explained, such as officers’ numbers who patrol neighborhoods that are predominantly one ethnicity.

If I believe in my work, I don’t mind it scrutinized, and would welcome the analysis, given that the analyst is not excessively biased.

Gardening and playing music are both timeless activities, what do you mean? Kind of unfair to jump down the throat of someone who’s only offering friendly advice.

I think it’s a good point, and not one I’d considered. But there’s a large lead lead time required to hone intelligence in school or by other means that it doesn’t account for.

There does seem to be a type of person who just wants power due to some deep psychological drive, and won’t or can’t look at the bigger picture to consider the cost to society for them to get it.

I have a similar story. I used to work with a guy from India, and he told me “If you ever meet an Indian in a position of power, they got there through nepotism and not by their own merit.”

Hearing that was pretty shocking, not so much because it’s clearly untrue, but because he held that opinion of other Indian people. He did fall under the description you gave, though. He seemed to struggle with basic Arduino and Raspberry Pi programming even though he had a degree in computer science from an Indian university.

I don’t think it’s fair to call it a racist position. I read it as them saying that the Chinese government is doing these things, not that the Chinese people are doing these things.

I’ve never heard anyone say they were against encryption.

“Anything with an explanation point is a macro invocation, by the way.”

Can you explain what this means, exactly?

Is the Rust book not enough? I found it to be pretty great.

It startled me a bit, lol.

I think it should be “start wiggling” as that makes more sense.

And what, replace my lock screen image that says ‘BREATHE AIR’?

I have a similar problem. I do what interests me in the moment and I don’t make myself feel bad when I don’t make the progress I wanted on something else. I think I’m happiest that way.

That seems like an awfully pedantic position to take. The ability to install a program is irrelevant?

How often does a MacOS user who frequently uses awk lack the ability to install gawk?

I have a friend who lives in Texas. He’s back at his parent’s house after schools closed, and says that his mother is making a point to go to the grocery store every day, bringing her 74 year old mother with her. He says that his mother often used to complain about having to grocery shop before this whole thing started.

I don’t see the perceived endgame. Very few people stand to profit from this whole thing, and at the cost of killing the economy for a long while.

We all have our own mental models of the world and expectations that derive from them. I don’t think that the parent is trying to say that their intuition is more plausible, only stating their surprise.

Well, when you put it that way..

Lol, no, I asked you this question because the other guy said "Did anyone ask you?"

That way you could answer yes to him. It looks like he deleted his comment.

In fairness, that keyboard switch style hasn’t had 1mm off travel before, so don’t you think “refined” is somewhat accurate?

Do you think it’s a good time to increase prices?

It really is one of those succinct descriptions that puts a complete image into your head. For me it came with smells and an ambiance.

Why do you say that?

I think most people would agree with that. But I think the point being made is that there should be a better way of figuring out how to do these hidden things if you know they exist, without the use of an internet search.

Could they walk to a stop that’s 0.01 miles further away? Surely there’s another stop nearby.
