after a cursory read, I can confidently say I could not, in fact, have come up with Kimi Delta Attention.

Every FPS is a Pong clone

My phone (iOS) is perennially on Do Not Disturb + let calls through. In my life, calls are super rare, and 99% when they happen I want to know. Everything else can wait until I check my phone. Sure, sometimes I check it often when I'm bored, but when I'm concentrated / in the flow I am never interrupted.

I can't believe most people keep notifications on, and sometimes at full volume. It would drive me crazy.

Good job

The title is a bit of an oxymoron.

"...portable...for Windows"

Wow.

Seems like you're scared of changing jobs because you think there will inevitably be a gap between your old job and looking for your new job--this doesn't need be the case. You can start looking for other jobs while you work, and interview. You've got nothing to lose. This is a golden age for developers and mid thirties is YOUNG, not old. Just make sure you also pick up some in-demand tech or at least update your capabilities to be at least aware of what's "modern" as a lot has changed in 10 years depending on your focus area.

I've been holding off buying the Airpods knowing an update was incoming. The question is...will there be AirPods 2 announced in 5 days at the keynote? Much like Murphy's Law, any time I buy an Apple device, it drastically accelerates the space-time continuum and somehow causes the new version of the product I just bought to launch right after.

This is why we need tree-shaking and build-time optimizations to kill the unnecessary.

Yes please do, I just have a pet peeve against npm modules requiring mb's of files to only use a couple functions. Knowing that Zero does tree-shaking and general optimizations for me will make me happily use for most of my projects!

I guess optimum/optimal efficiency is a lot to ask for, of anyone, let alone a convention over configuration framework, but you get my point!

Valid counterpoint. However, we could still be witnessing metaphorical "acne" resulting from instant communication. With no more time-delays or costs associated with communication, the threshold for what makes something worth communicating drops.

What I'm speaking of is not 20 years from now, but 500. When we've moved past the banal, when people have assimilated instant communication but have also learned the preciousness of time and the negative long term effects of information overload. In a way, a bit like how we quickly moved past custom ringtones, but on a much grander scale. Programming is relatively novel nowawadays. It won't be in 500 years, it will just be like a hammer.

Yes, hence my point! I believe we will see more and more of this. Today programming is seen as a skilled art that only the few can comprehend, much like writing was back in ancient times. And so, only a programmer can effectively apply custom technology to non-technical tasks like baking.

In the future, programming will be more accessible, and potentially be so common and part of the upbringing of children that anyone will be able to program simple things they need.

I also see the counter-argument that this is utopian and people will just get more and more stupid. But one can only hope it is not the case! :)
