Not a huge fan of the "force touch" trackpads on newer macs, the old man yells at the clouds. In all seriousness though I have used a pre force touch MacBook not too long ago and I prefer that experience a lot over the new one I have from work. Though the larger size of these trackpads is something I really like and where neither the older MacBook nor the the current non-pro Framework 13 come close.

Same, though the battery upgrade alone will be around $260 because of the new bottom cover, at that might just throw in the speaker upgrade as well for $19. Not sure if I even want a haptic touchpad at all.

Invite only isn't that unusual for personal/friend&family servers. The author also set that in their prosody config. The snikket client works with many different XMPP servers, why wouldn't it? As you mentioned it's based on Conversations and for iOS on Siskin.

Thanks for restating, I get where you're coming from. Also your reply to another comment made me realize this is also a language mixup on my side. I didn't realize there is a depression (mood) in English. My native language has the major depressive disorder as depression, not sure if there is a term for the mood. Sorry for not checking this assumption before but I guess my perception of suggesting 'have you tried not being depressed?' just didn't sit well with me.

I didn't quite have the option of falling into some kind of depression and just doing nothing

Don't know if this was your intention but this comes across as if having a depression was a choice, which it rarely is with any kind of illness.

Not for students. CS6 single product was up to $250, CS6 DS $350, CS6 MC $800 compared to CC 1st year $240 increasing to $360. If you only needed a single product you were off worse after one year. Even doing a bachelors which required all products would have been less expensive with the one time fee if you had the money.

No, it means you may potentially have all of those but there is no guarantee. Neither is there a guarantee that a publicly insured person wouldn't receive the same treatment. E.g. if there aren't any free "better/worse" rooms what are they supposed to do? Many of these are nowadays covered by employers as a benefit or for cheap (~5€) out of pocket if you want.

Private insurance matters most for specialists that don't (aren't allowed to) have (or want) a public insurance license.

Supply chain issues, sanctions, travel or prices you can‘t afford at the moment your phone breaks down may make you switch the platform involuntarily.

Will this hurt open source?

I assume companies that were fine with providing you functionality for free may think about this twice because with that they're giving away knowledge of how to build functionality.

You're missing the problem he stated: Code written by humans is usually bad so the model is trained on garbage.

GUIs are more productive

From my first hand experience this generalization is wrong as it comes down to each individual developer.

We have highly skilled developers using vim and editing code very fast as well as other skilled developers using VS Code of Eclipse as plain text editors. Less skilled developers usually think that text editors like vim improve their quality/speed because the very skilled developers use them whereas they‘re usually lacking knowledge for concepts and the language. This leads to a double slowdown from less skilled developers struggling now with their editor and the work they‘re supposed to do.

It usually comes down to what each individual developer is comfortable with compared to what they think they should be using regardless if text or GUI based.

Mumble beats nearly all service‘s in latency and audio quality because these two things are the problems it‘s trying to solve. Did you ever play around with Teamspeak? It‘s a bit worse on the latency side but more mainstream friendly. Personally I run a mumble server as well because it solves our problems but TS may be worth looking into for you.

Interesting, what position are the people in that told you this? I‘ve only heard this from middle management at my company.

Software project‘s actually have less delay than usual. Don‘t get me started on why every project is ‚late‘. We‘re not even allowed to work overtime while we‘re at home.

We do see problem‘s with new hires though. They have a harder time integrating into their team.
