I like nano and prefer how it navigates text to vim. If vim works for you then great but... nano is just fine for me!

Sadly, there are millions of people who live in conditions not to dissimilar from this. Technology might not always help.

I actually know that intersection (3rd/Pike) quite well and think the issue is more the 7/11, cigar shop, and major bus transfer point than the McDonalds in attracting loiterers/criminals.

I was wondering how it was possible for Macy's retail employees to work in the mall prior to Amazon's purchase, but how it was unsuitable for software engineers. Surely at one point the Macy's employees were selling fancy clothes, perfumes, and housewares from that location...

I'm curious... how is it possible for mall/retail employees to work there but not engineering teams?

If you want to feel old:

2020 - 2006 = 14. 2006 - 14 = 1992. When the 'World Wide Web' first launched....

I once heard that Meetup is "one night stand for friends"

> I promise, it wont be overnight, but it will be FAST. you will feel better, youll make friends without even trying. Its impossible to go through an hour of physical suffering every day with the same people and not end up gradually talking more and getting to know each other.

I really encourage people to try a martial art like boxing, muay thai, or brazilian jiu jitsu once COVID lockdowns are over.

These sports are extremely effective at fighting depression and loneliness for a couple of reasons:

1. You get plenty of one-on-one interaction

2. Shared suffering really does create bonds

3. There is a lot of positive validation ("great jab!", "nice hook")

4. You will see the same people 2,3,4 times a week

5. Exercise releases endorphins

6. You will be proud of how your body changes for the better

7. You will get many compliments on your new figure

8. You will get more romantic interest (looks do matter, and doing a fun/exciting sport can be bonus points in dating)

Philosophically speaking, is this any different than 'syntactic salt' for a 'Batch' JSON object? ;)

Perhaps I'm missing something here, or may be an arrogant internet neckbeard, but I'm always confused as to why people are often so eager/excited by dark mode (e.g. Slack around a year ago, or GitHub today)

Isn't the implementation of 'Dark Mode' little more than a CSS Color palette and a toggle switch nested somewhere in user settings?

Are people celebrating the usability over the technical feat?

Seems like much ado about nothing :/

I would prefer a university structure where B.S. + M.S. is earned in four years by focusing on core major requirements to then have humanities courses offered at no cost via the alumni association as part of continuing education throughout one's twenties.

I was pretty unimpressed by Zoom as I used to think along the lines of "bro just open up a WebRTC connection. You can use socket.io it's super simple"

Then... I attended a "Zoom Nightclub" and saw over 200 attendees streaming video to one another. All encryption, routed through China, etc. issues aside; I was very very impressed.

>Assets tend to be very large (double digits gigabytes), so having fast connectivity is expected in many situations, and slower home connections are rather painful for that.

If that were the case... I would probably look into using X-windows forwarding or remote desktop. Wouldn't it make more sense to keep all assets on the on-prem network instead of sending it back/forth to the employee's remote workstation?

>Maybe this was just that night or just this one restaurant, but it kinda shocked me.

This may be a "German thing"; I remember being a bit surprised when I ate lunch with a vendor from Germany and he ate a hamburger and french fries with a knife and fork.
