Does he know that's why I'm coming in 5 minutes late? Maybe he just thinks I'm a slacker who doesn't want to get out of the bed in the morning. I think I'd rather try and explain to him the situation I'm in before walking out. He's probably doing it out of ignorance, not out of malign. You can talk to him about it and explain your side and maybe understand his.

Right now you're making the same kind of judgements of the boss as he is making of you.

By left, I assume you mean left the job completely?

As interesting as a story this is, is it really the only reason you chose to leave? Did you enjoy the work and did you try and negotiate at all? I don't mean to criticize your prioritization but the decision seems a little impulsive given how you described it. As you mentioned you gave your priorities a lot of thought, but what about the decision itself?

The new reader modes that browsers are adding let you kinda do this.

I recommend f.lux too. The only problems I've encountered with it are:

- doesn't take into account wacky sun hours in nordic countries during winter, I get around this by setting my location to be somewhere else

- isn't able to automatically detect when I'm playing a fullscreen videogame, when I would prefer it automatically switch off

Might have something to do with the scrolling: the video at the top autoplays if it's visible and pauses if you scroll past it. If you've already paused it and you scroll past it makes the audio cut in and cut out for a second (at least on my machine). Scrolling back up causes it to autoplay again even though I already paused it.

Probably because Github is hosting code they don't like (e.g. code used to bypass censorship).

As someone who thinks Lisp is pretty cool and uses Emacs to study it and is about 100 pages into SICP: I still don't get it. Common Lisp macros went entirely over my head too. A programmable programming language? Aren't all languages like that? I've only been programming for a couple years so I'm afraid I might not recognize the value of Lisp until I use more of the "less powerful" alternatives.

If he knew he would have probably mentioned it.

I have to agree, the first thing I did was roll my eyes at the choice of name.

"Screencoatening?"

>Emojis with skin tones, something every human can use, that have arrived before a character that only Bengalis use is taken as an "outright insult"?

Who cares if emojis can be used by every human? Bengali language support is something people actually need to to function normally in the digital age without jumping through a million hoops.

Emojis with skin tones are a joke.

This article strikes so many right notes for me and I can easily come up with even more examples of it in action, like systemd. I'm sure there exist valid criticisms but there's also a lot of people who would hate it just to look smug or feel like they're smarter to reject something so popular[0]. "If there's a lot of people who like something, and I find a reason to detest that thing, that means I know something they don't. Go me. Everyone will think I'm cool and respect me. Bring in the upvotes."

I also used to be the guy to swear by Emacs and C, bitch about how awful Java and C++ are with all the crappy IDEs (despite never having tried them out, just reading articles and comments bashing them). Eventually I matured a little and tried both out, then tried a few IDEs like NetBeans, QtCreator, and PyCharm, and I actually prefer them now. If I had never broken out of the "hating circle" I would only be able to write programs in Lisp and C. Some of you may think that's fine, even preferable. Personally in retrospect I'm happy to have widened my horizons.

[0] This is from my own experience, I used to do that.

>Logitech discontinued their best cable based mices, MX500 and MX518 too.

The MX518 for me at least lives on as the G400s. I used to own an MX518 and got the G400s recently and it's basically the same thing except with a better surface texture (and higher DPI? I don't really care since I always keep it on the lowest setting).

>What traditional cable based keyboards/mices and business notebooks with normal keys should one buy?

I use a ThinkPad T420 which would seem to be the last "traditional" ThinkPad. I mean it's clear it's already going in the direction of the newer laptops but this one still has the traditional keyboard while having up-to-date hardware otherwise. Hopefully by the time that becomes outdated there will be something worth buying on the market...

As for my desktop keyboard: IBM Model M, accept no substitutes.
