I’d add the so-called “Patriot Act” to the list of damages from the GW Bush era. Massive consequences that can’t be shrugged off with some both-sides nonsense.

The GPLv2 doesn't prevent a company from distributing binaries and making the source available on request while development is done behind closed doors. This wouldn't really be "open source" as we typically understand it and might be cause to exclude it from some Linux distros, for example. I'm not saying that K1 would do this (I have no idea who they are or what they do), but I also think it's a reasonable risk to consider.

> VS is dying

I don't think this is true at all. If anything, it's the opposite, in that MS has greatly improved recent versions of Visual Studio.

> VSCode is the future

Maybe for some types of projects, but I have both VS and VS Code on my work machine and hardly ever use VS Code. There's just no comparison when working on .NET projects where VS is the clear winner.

This doesn't seem like a particularly compelling feature to me, but iTerm can do this too (since the person you replied to mentioned iTerm, this seems relevant).

You can also do Ctrl-UpArrow then click the space you want. This isn't instant, but it might be a little better than repeatedly cycling through each desktop, especially if you have a lot of them. Turning off "Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use" is also a must IMO.

Personally, I only open one app per desktop and just use Command-Tab. If you hold Command after Command-Tab, you can select an app with having to cycle through all of them.

If you have Bitwarden installed on an iPhone, you can export directly to Apple Passwords with no intermediate steps or trying to figure out where to save the unencrypted CSV file. I just did this and it looks pretty good so far.

That works when you already have an established connection with someone, but it doesn’t work so well for making new connections.

I’ve deleted all my Meta accounts and other social media accounts and have lost touch with many people and find it much harder to meet new people.

Personally, I accept that tradeoff but can see how others wouldn’t (or can’t).

If I understand correctly, you're saying that leaving trash in Reno is bad, not that that's what people should do? I first read your comment as saying that people should leave their trash in Reno, but a sibling comment makes me think it's the opposite.

I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. As I understand it, happiness increases for most people as their income increases. However, this doesn't mean that a person is happy overall since there are other factors. So, it's not that money can buy happiness in a binary sense, but it's a factor and often a significant one.

The article even ends with this quote from one of the authors of the study (emphasis added):

“Money is not the secret to happiness, but it can probably help a bit.”

I'd suggest you dig a little deeper into American history. For example, "America First" isn't a new slogan. It's been used in its current sense for at least a century. Murdoch via Roger Ailes poured oil on the fire, but that was only possible because the sentiment already existed here and always has.

This might be true for libraries or utilities that have a well-defined scope and no dependencies, but that's not what the article is focused on. When considering a company's main product, it's usually never done and patterns of activity—and especially changes in those patterns—can give you insight into potential issues.

Good tools can improve your workflow for sure, but it's easy enough to keep a clean history with a handful of git commands. There are two main reasons people don't do so: 1. they don't know the commands yet or 2. they just don't care (and are in an environment where there's no incentive to care).

The kind of person who would try a tool like Magit and use it to discover git would have found a different route if Magit didn't exist. The type of person who doesn't care isn't going to learn something just because a tool is available.

This doesn't sound right. PyPy has always been described as an alternative implementation of Python that could in some cases be a drop-in replacement for CPython (AKA standard Python) that could speed up production workloads. Underneath that is the RPython toolchain, but that's not what most people are talking about when they talk about PyPy.

The point of the video is to highlight how the inundation of AI-generated pull requests is harming open source. It doesn't say anything about AI success/failure rates, and it wouldn't make sense for it to go into details about that. However, it does mention that LLMs are useful for some things.
