If you know that he will spend his money in support of that party, and you still buy services from him, you are helping him promote whatever views he holds. As simple as that. There is no cop out.
+1 for FlashSpace. I used to be an i3 user and MacOS workspace management drove me mad. For years we had TotalSpaces, but that is no longer being maintained. With FlashSpace I finally have a great setup.
My solution has been binding a key Hyper+[a-z] for my applications. When used in conjuction with FlashSpace I get a usable setup. I also heavily rely on native MacOS binding Cmd+` (backtick) to cycle the currently focused application, and mission control for the current workspace.
Let me know if this is interesting; I've been considering creating a YouTube-video about this setup.
I think in part because we have a black hole in our chest, and we are searching for ways to fill it. We attempt to fill it through worship at the altar of materialism, celebrity, etc.
We are doing this to quiet the roar from the black hole. Actually stepping away would require us to sit with stillness, and then to forge a new path, a new life. It's frightening.
I think there's a piece missing here. Capital owners are humans too, and what humans want (perhaps especially the ones who accumulate capital), is to be at the top of a hierarchy. But a hierarchy needs participants. If nobody else is playing the game, there's no top to be on top of. Strip away the people willing to compete, admire, envy, or just show up, and the whole structure collapses. It's not clear that a world of pure capital-on-AI-labor actually gives them what they're after. It sounds lonely and meaningless to me. I don't think that it would feed the black hole in their chests.
I tried this, but found it annoying that it will add a slight delay. Totally makes sense if you've been running on caps lock -> escape for a long time. I've bound caps lock -> ctrl and left ctrl -> escape.
The best definition of art I've read is the one from "What is Art?" by Tolstoy. I haven't read it myself, but came across it in a Van Neistat video recently.
Tolstoy argued that art is essentially the transmission of feeling from the artist to the audience. He claimed that when an artist experiences an emotion and then, through their work, evokes that same emotion in others, that is art.
I love this. I also built a business like that[0]. It's super niche. I have maintained this small business for soon to be 13 years now. Most of what has worked has been maintaining great relationships with the few customers I have.
I think the most important thing for me have been offering amazing support. I always reply to all e-mails right away and make it my top priority giving them my best help.
Congratulations on your success, and best of luck going forward!
Fantastic! I use alarms to run my entire life. I've been wanting to build something with the alarms for so long. So happy to learn that AlarmKit now exists. Thanks!
You know what? This is lame. The whole presentation. The communication. The products. The way the story is being told by someone that's clearly way out of touch. For the first time it feels like they can be challenged. And not just Facebook; Apple as well. Google too. This is lame. Out of touch. Innovation might not be stagnating technically, but they sure are stagnating socially. It will be interesting to see what actually comes next. This certainly isn't it.
Programming as a whole is too wide to have a single answer.
It depends on the problem domain. If you're writing low level code for a microcontroller that might require you to be able to do problemsolving on a whole other level than say writing CSS or arranging pre-built React components in a modern web application. In the same way styling those components might require a very different skillset in terms of taste, A/B testing etc.
