In the past Iโ€™ve gotten feedback that, after a painful layoff, that I should isolate myself from others to not make things worse. Itโ€™a hard for those let go, and itโ€™s hard for those still at the company.

Going for a โ€œvintageโ€ costume, I see. What a time to be alive.

I really wish they did a "filming take" and let folks opt out. I understand wanting natural shots and stuff, but really in this day and age it's 100% in your interest to decide to be in or out of footage. I don't blame you at all for your reactions or feelings around any of this :(

Thank you for taking the time to expand on this, the whole discussion has been wonderful. I've been seeing synergies in what I'm currently interested and feel like you pull that together into a framework pretty well. Yay!

I have some experience in this, if you want someone to talk to about it Iโ€™d be happy to DM and send you what we ended up doing.

We should have been masking for decades for the flu. This not about fear itโ€™s agreeing that those deaths we were living with for years is no longer acceptable.

I also made my first Manapool sale and was very happy with the process. I had a lot of work to set up with Stripe but otherwise Manapool's been good so far!

I did immediately, you'd recommended Cardsphere in the past and it's been one of the biggest parts of my MtG life since. I appreciate your opinion on things!

When I think of A.I. I think of asbestos. To begin with everyone thought Asbestos was amazing, folk used it in everything. Then they started learning it was dangerous, research was done, they stopped using it, thou for some the damage was already done. Stop using A.I and limit the damage it's doing.

Early results from our worm model suggest effective new strategies for pair-programming methods.

One thing I've been doing is, when considering a task, realizing that it takes calculation or counting and I'll say out loud "I can't use it for analysis" and make a calculator instead.

Wait until you double up the humans in this method, even better quality and the humans are happier, too.

I guess, full disclosure, I have corrected vision and my main thing to compare it to is 5-year-old Kindle devices. But I'm pretty thrilled how text comes out on it for PDFs, Kindle books, and my own handwriting.

They also just released improved digest features, to better integrate text with writing

Absolutely. It's super crisp, and in regular-to-low light it's fine. I also tend to push it with light too low to really be good for me.

But like "bedside light, diffused 800 lumens" is totally great. Airplane overhead light is totally great. I feel great reading it even for extended times.

I'm really happy with my SuperNote but it's the only writing e-ink device I've owned. But also someone who's felt the friction of a device/software not quite meeting my needs.

My gut feeling is there's not a good reason to switch, but I'm happy to hear your needs / talk about my experience..
