I've always found it interesting that the Android/iOS debate seems to go only one way. My handful of Android friends have tried convert with some new feature that does x and y over the years, yet I've never found myself trying to convince them to make the opposite switch. I think your quote sums that up pretty nicely.

> What they did do:

Not really surprised by any of it except number 3.

I think that's actually unique to primates (who do/did sleep in trees).

> but the Surface Studio makes me wish I were

Have you used Surface before? Asking because when I picked one up about a month ago, I had an awful time with it. Makes me think their announcement won't really do anything but look interesting. I could be missing something, though.

I've always wondered why this doesn't come up more in the mac/pc cost debate. The HP I was issued at my last job needed to be replaced three times in the eight months I was there. Current company issued me a MacBook air that I've used 50 hours a week for three years.

With you regarding macOS bugs but I've never been more miserable using technology than the last time I touched Surface.

Ah, should have assumed you already did your homework. Sounds rough man, sorry.

brutal, glad you made it out when you did.

The "bad as a human except when he's drunk" is pretty interesting, considering it usually works the other way around. Keep that shit at arm's length.

Seems your wrath is better aimed at those who implemented an open floor plan, not the lady doing her job.

hm.

Just use coloreds only drinking fountains. Problem solved.

Easy in concept but the beef cartel would fight tooth and nail against something like this.

I recently went through Learn Python the Hard Way (which is currently all written for 2.7), then enrolled in a intro python class at the city college that's all python3. The transition was a bit of a struggle; would have preferred to skip LPTHW for something written for py3+.

Think about a 250 or even a 350. Brakes, suspension, and motor all more robust. This'll be important once it's filled with plywood and hardwood. And all your stuff.

That's pretty special.

I think that's what sleep/wake+home button is for. Holding sleep/wake still requires 'slide to power off' (which i assume wouldn't respond when iOS locks up.)

sleep/wake+home button restarts iOS but ultimately reconnects to the device to the web.

I can't believe this is still how they operate. How has the company that shipped Windows Vista not figured it out yet?

Even with increased density, the bay area's freeways and transit systems are already jammed up. All those people would have a hard time getting anywhere.

I think he meant as opposed to informal (maybe petty, harmful) internal competition.

Expect excellence, respect excellence, drive hard, change things, don’t accept the status quo.

Autonomous opposite lock is a pretty incredible thing to watch.

> there's nothing uniquely determining what's internal and what's external, what's an agent and what's not. So "free will" winds-up achingly ill-defined/under-determined here.

This is really interesting. Thanks for the reply.

An agent's ability to do and not do without external influence or coercion.

The other side of this though is if the agent believes he or she has the ability to do or not do, but actually doesn't, is it still free will? An example being you enter your office with the intention of working for five hours. Without realizing it, the door locks behind you from the outside, leaving you effectively trapped. Even if you never attempt to leave the room, are you staying at your own free will?

Clicked, fought my way through those first two paragraphs, left.

I'd happily pay Twitter $1/mo to keep suggested tweets out of my TL.

Well put. Anyone can find a job and "make money". The issue here, of course, is much broader.
