You can set hotkeys to go directly to a specific virtual desktop. I have ctrl-1 though ctrl-9 setup for the reason you called out.

So really this isn’t a discussion about the design of Go (of which Ken Thompson was a part of) but just a chance to trash on someone you don’t like.

Ken Thompson was one of the original authors of Unix

I am not Rob Pike and therefore cannot provide proof of his grasp of type theory. But I also don't understand the desire to question and debate the knowledge of someone I've never met and has no influence on my life.

I have used Go extensively and would disagree with the idea that the lack of generics in go was ill-informed (and therefore a mistake). I find that Go's limited number of features leads to simpler libraries that are much easier to comprehend and use effectively. And in situations where I previously would have reached for generics I am forced to find a different approach and the end result is often better. Yes it does have its drawbacks and is not a perfect solution, but as far as engineering decisions go, I feel it was a successful one.

No the two conflicting statements are.

1. Go doesn't have generics because the authors didn't have strong grasp of type theory.

2. Go doesn't have generics, not from a lack of knowledge, but because the authors' real world software engineering experience had shown to them it wasn't important.

Except there is no fire truck that’s coming. We still need to convince our governments to take action. And how can we do that if we individually are still throwing kindling on the flames.

What real reality are you referring to? That the iPhone X looks flashy? Thats not an objective truth, its taste.

If someone likes driving Corvettes because they think it looks anonymous and non-descript. Who are you to tell them they're wrong. Its their opinion.

Why are you criticizing someone's personal aesthetic preferences? So you think that the iPhone X isn't understated. Doesn't mean that someone who disagrees is doing "serious rationalization" or "constructing a reality".

Are you saying that it is a bad thing. But since it is happening it should happen to everyone? If so, it just seems like you're propagating more of bad thing.

Why not just advocate for the the corporate world to be more accepting of personal life choices? Firing Kaplan doesn't get you any closer to that.
