The title should read: "Everyone knows all the apps on your Android phone"


I have worked as dev since age of 18, I am now 42. Never had any health problems. I do some irregular sports but not very much. I don’t pay much attention to ergonomics, I just simply change my sitting position often and also take short walks. I do use standing desk sometimes but not for whole day, just for short periods.


Congratulations, you're a sensible human being who has figured out that listening to your body and intuition works much better than all these "optimal" solutions everyone is chasing after. I've suspected for a long time that much of ergonomics is just snake oil and hardly based on any evidence at all. If sitting upright or in some specific allegedly ergonomic position is making me feel tense and wears me out, how is that helpful? I prefer to go with what millions of years of evolution have coded in me. Fortunately I don't have a desk job anymore so it's not of much concern to me.


Can it yet do proper quoting?


Still no re-nameable virtual desktops? Bummer.


Err we already have that in Sonoma. Press F3 and move the mouse to the top of the screen.

You can even switch between them with a triple swipe on a magic trackpad...


If you can _rename_ desktops though, I've never seen how.

e.g. in Mission Control right now I have "Desktop 1", "Desktop 2", and full-screened iTerm2 on my external monitor, plus "Desktop 3" and about 6 other fullscreen apps on my laptop.

I have somewhat semantic meaning for what each of those three numbered desktops are, but it'd be nice to _name_ them.


I find it helpful to set a different wallpaper for every space. In fact, that approach has been so useful that I’ve mostly stopped wishing to rename the spaces – I can glance at the colors so much faster than I could ever read a written title anyway.


Yeah I do this too, I can't imagine not having different wallpapers. But when I'm pinning apps to desktops via the Dock it'd be nice to have the names then.


My #1 source for finding new music: teen-aged daughter


I bought my first Windows pc recently (a gaming rig). I was shocked to find that even Minesweeper had ads! “Microsoft has no taste” seems to still hold.


"You've run out of flags! Click here to go to the Minesweeper Store, or wait an additional 2:29 minutes"

I can't even believe I'm saying this: but all joking aside, I MIGHT be inclined to buy a cosmetic skin for smiley if they offered it.


Ananas is a rare example of word which is exactly same in Finnish, although our vocabulary is usually totally alien compared to most European languages.


but pineapples are also totally alien to Finland, so it makes sense?


Tesla does excellent job here.


Tesla would actually be an example of how not to do software for safety relevant, embedded systems.


Why?


Also it’s equipped with plain old HDMI and USB-A ports, still so useful.


TBF and much to my dismay HDMI was returned with the ARM mbps (the real ones not the 13”).


Why would having an HDMI port be a bad thing?


Because it removes a thunderbolt port which I could use, whereas I don't need an HDMI port. In the ~18 months I've had it, I've used the HDMI port a grand total of 0 times.


I liked CoffeeScript back in the days. However, it had its problems, the biggest being too terse / too much optional syntax.

I think Civet would success better if it addressed those issues by making the syntax a bit more familiar and consistent.

Keep the python/ruby-like significant indentation and everything-is-expression approach, but add little more verbosity for clarity, for example:

  - require and reserve {} for objects
  - require () in function calls
  - require explicit var/let/const
Also, because CoffeeScript got so controversial reputation, I would not ride on its legacy. Just market Civet as "TypeScript with modern syntax".
