Considering the community we are on, I assumed the criticism was more about the privacy problems surrounding the engine and browser security model than the quality of the language itself. If that was the intent, I mean... Yeah, its weak typing is a fucking mess.

I think the reason why we've had CPC/LPC swings for decades has more to do with Canadian society as a whole eating up the neolib propaganda fed to the world since the 80s.

That part we can mostly agree on

I just checked mine and the P10 is what I use :) Hopefully he likes one of them.

The point was that I woke up groggy and tired regardless of how much I slept. That was a symptom, not my problem.

So sorry to hear this - do those couple of hours with the machine help him a little at least? Did he try different masks, by any chance? I had a nasal mask initially, and eventually switched to nasal pillows before I started actually enjoying mine. Everyone's anatomy and way of sleeping are different, so there's often some trial and error necessary.

For example, a lot of people dislike nasal pillows cause they're much easier to rip out or have a leak for some. A lot of people seem to like nasal masks, while I hated mine with a passion, as even with the XL size, my (large) nose's bridge was rubbing against it and hurt quite a bit. Some people also seem to love their full-face masks - they tend to work better for mouth breathers and those sleeping on their backs.

I donate a bunch of things on Marketplace (mostly baby/kids' clothes and toys the kids outgrew). I also give to the local food banks and food drives whenever I can and think about it. If you're specifically asking about money, I give to, and last summer fundraised for, Muscular Dystrophy Canada.

The split keyboard part is incredible for ergonomics. So comfy to just put your hands on my desk at shoulder width and just have my keyboard right there. The trackball I sold, though, came back to a Deathadder... How scary am I?

Reality never decouples, it's just always relative but our usual point of views are similar enoug that we typically ignore the difference. Time will fly slightly faster for an astronaut on the ISS, but we're talking nanosecond differences over long periods.

From your POV, you fall into the black hole and that's it. From an external observer's POV, they see you falling slower and slower until you appear to stop at the event horizon then redshift to disappearance. The EH is just the description of the boundary where gravity becomes great enough that nothing can escape it.

The overwhelming majority of the population lives in a narrow ~100km band over the southern border. How do you not have a decent transit system when its so concentrated?

Meshify C? I could tell it was a Fractal case just from the thumbnail haha!

This. If anything, they wanted to claw back some of that Blackberry market. Apple wasn't even on anybody's mind yet on the mobile side of things.

Every time someone needs to change anything nontrivial, like a large feature or a refactor they just code away blindly, hope it doesn't make anything explode, and then wait for QA to pat them on the back or raise any potential bug? Does this mean your QA team makes a full product sweep for every single feature that gets merged? If that's the case, you'd need more than 1 QA per developer. If not, you're now stuck debugging blindly too, not knowing when the thing broke?

I worked with a team like yours at one point, and it was hell 😬 Each new feature is like poking away at a black box hoping it doesn't explode...
