Happy to give it a try but I have 10 years using tiling wms exclusively for research and work and I never wanted to have more than 5 workspaces. I think the nice thing about wms is that mental model to keep things lean and simple, similar to how I also don't have a thousand tabs open and in fact I try to close all of the by the end of every day. I also fail to see the benefit of that many workspaces given you have other tools such as tmux etc.

I think the difference may be LLMs may not be laundered clean of copyright data anytime soon. Even if chatgpt got big and profitable, it's not so clear that it won't contain copyrighted data as that may simply be necessary to train the best models.

I used to own one Garmin GPS and replaced it with my cellphone plus a mount. Updating the map was a major pain point.

Now I'm really pleasantly surprised at how good the descent mk3 is which I wear all day and there's also inreach etc. Garmin products are really safe buys when it comes to fitness devices. Other smart watches suffer mostly from the software side whereas Garmin connect syncs well and has good UX.

Ha, I guess Trump is the pro business president after all since he's so transparently open for business himself. At least as of now it seems Bytedance outsmarted the detractors.

Given its origin and involvement in these high profile cases I always thought Crowdstrike is a government subsidized company which barely has any real function or real product. I stand corrected I guess.

She also believed she may have been unfairly retaliated against regarding her perf. That's probably the main reason she resigned. Not necessarily that the speaker was not approved.

Also it's not that rare that the other party forgets what their original stance on something is and in turn argue against you on that issue. Reminding them that hey this was your idea too can help you resolve that debate if it's unnecessary.

Although I do feel the same I think given the world we are in today, I wouldn't necessarily bet big on its failure. That would probably make too much sense.

I think it's either an embarrassingly stupid business move made by execs who have no idea what they are doing (best case). Or worse it'll be a success and make Facebook an even more dystopian force. The potential for VR/AR to deeply damage society and sow discord is huge...assuming it's ever a thing.

Not related to the article, but I feel like as active engineers we own it to ourselves to always be preparing for the next play. I recently started doing more interview prep even though I'm not unsatisfied with my position. And I even took a few phone screens just for entertaining the idea and testing the water.

Gotta say it just feels nice to be able to go through a couple of those smoothly. I think that actually relieved some latent stress I've been having all this time and made me more at east even at work. Feels good to know that I'm ready when the time comes, even if not now.

At the end of the day it's the human's duty to provide a diagnosis. The lack of a complete product solution sure isn't helping, but even if there's a company that provides that, most people still wouldn't trust that if it's purely driven by AI. The way AI should go into these fields is to first provide tools for the specialists already in the field, to increase their productivity.

I have no complaints of keepass on my desktop. I tried using it on mobile but decided it wasn't worth the trouble to get it working as I wanted in terms of syncing and autofill. Instead I just use a select few logged in apps that I either memorize the password or use fingerprints. I don't really like the idea of syncing all my passwords with any online service.
