This Happiness Lab podcast episode "Unhappy Millionaire" is kind of blowing my mind. I've written about Dan Gilbert before, he's a genius, and it just gets better and better from there. Hard recommend (minus the annoying hard-coded ads) -- I guarantee this will surprise you in ways you absolutely don't see coming https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/the-happiness-lab-with-dr-laurie-santos/the-unhappy-millionaire
I have difficulty with the "I only use lower case" folks. I mean, e e cummings could pull that off, so.. what you're implicitly telling us you are as talented as e e cummings? OK .. I .. guess?
@trenchworms It's fine, the general vibe is "inflicting this strange writing style that's hard to read is more important than everyone else who will ever read it" and .. I'm very sorry but I can't go for that, no can do. Who's more important here? Who is being accorded basic respect? ๐ค
@trenchworms At some point this becomes "agree to disagree". Writing is meant to be read, and demonstrating a basic level of respect for the reader is the starting point for that. If you are writing only for yourself, fine.
@trenchworms I will read those all lower case pieces, but I will resent the writer, unless they are literally as talented as e e cummings. So.. good luck, I guess?
@trenchworms More deeply, the art is in what you are saying, not the technical details of how you are saying it. So it's a distraction, a deflection, a kind of lie. Again, unless you are e e cummings and writing poetry :)
@trenchworms I apologize for going so deep on this, but the all lowercase people are kinda like the "we don't want to use semicolons" JavaScript people. Verdict? "As a best practice, we should use standard conventions within our projects, and in these particular cases, that convention should include using semicolons because even if you donโt add them, the language needs them anyway and will tryโbut not always succeedโto fix them with ASI."
Are there any hacks to modern MacOS 14 that forces windows to have an actual title bar at the top of them? You know, an area that contains the application title or document title and allows you to move is easily?
For instance, with Firefox and lots of tabs open, the window itself has no tittle bar at the top. Moving the window is difficult and only possible on the far left or right of the top of the window. It also doesn't identify itself.
@paulrickards I agree with the conditional scroll bar hiding though; it's only really needed while you scroll and who in their right mind moves the mouse allll the way over to the right side and grabs and drags, in a world of touchscreens and mousewheels?
