For me writing markdown using VSCode with with Neovim keybindings approaches that rich text and rich code environment.

Of course, when using markdown(/mermaid/tikz/etc.) creating diagrams is severely limited unlike point and click alternatives. I haven’t seen a good solution yet that isn’t too restrictive or slow.

I don't think caring about the user and making profits are mutually exclusive. A company that is interested in delivering what the user wants and needs will often make profit. It's not a case of 'with the user' or 'against the user'.

WireGuard for iOS 8 years ago

From another user "reaperhulk"

I use WireGuard (including WireGuard iOS) every day in Shanghai. It’s mostly fast and performant but nothing escapes the occasional “drop all UDP to your endpoint”. Typically this manifests as windows of time (typically a few minutes) where no traffic to the VPN gets through. However, unlike an openVPN solution WireGuard recovers without having to bounce the tunnel or constantly reconnect. The GFW is not a monolithic entity though so be aware that performance and blocking characteristics can vary widely between cities, ISPs, and sometimes even between cell towers.

VPN on demand features are on the iOS todo list. iOS supports the idea of making a VPN on demand for cellular or WiFi so it will be able to do what you want once that feature is merged.

Also, as a result of MAD the main risk of nuclear weapons would be operation by a terrorist group as opposed to a nation - who wouldn't be affected by a national nuclear disarmament and wouldn't be able to have retaliation in the same way

But if just the email validation problem were addressed - you wouldn't accidentally pay for someone's rides. Their account would never be created as they don't have access to the email they provided. Just dealing with email validation solves both problems.

IKEA Effect 9 years ago

The fact that there are some people who enjoy walking round the IKEA stores window shopping with no intention of buying anything is testament to how well designed their stores are.
