This is exactly what my lawyer told me when I "inherited" a timeshare. I never signed a contract and that I should just stop paying. We tried to sell the timeshare first, but that was as much of a scam as buying one. I read somewhere a joke that it's the same scummy people selling you the timeshares during the day and moonlighting as agents to help people get rid of timeshares at night.

I really want the touch id from iPad. It's so much faster and reliable that face id. I think together would be a winning combo, but given the option, I'd take the ipad touch id over face id.

Amazon did this too. No more assigned desks, come in 3+ days a week, and only have desks for 60% of people. Sterile desks that have to be cleaned off at the end of the day, fighting for desks because no one is actually coming in on Mondays or Fridays, and desks basically on top of each other.

I've done analog for years and tried to do digital this year. I switched back to analog. With digital, I tended to just dump everything whereas with analog I reflected and edited for concision. The things I typed I forgot; writing things down I remembered. It's much the same as taking notes - the act of physically writing helps "set" the information.

I know a lot of people will say to do digital for ease of searching. I find that if I write it down, I'm much more likely to remember and not need to search in the first place. And digital I think it's easier to get lost in the ways to try and optimize the process with a file, format, editor, plugin, method, etc. With paper, I have some paper that I can write in whatever format I want at the time.

I use these every year for taking notes: https://www.leuchtturm1917.com/weekly-planner-and-notebook-2... . I've been using the A5, but will probably go up to the B5+ for next year. I've been using these for the past 7 years.

An ebike can be for both pleasure and exercise. Most ebikes are pedelecs - you're still cycling, you're just getting a boost. They aren't loud, you just either get somewhere faster or with less effort. I find an ebike to be more pleasurable than a regular bike 90% of the time.

Just because you're doing less work, doesn't mean you're doing no work. An ebike can provide mobility for people who aren't in perfect shape. Ebikes can also allow you to use your bike for more errands, like getting groceries that people would otherwise not do on a regular bike.

REPL-based development doesn't require typing directly into the REPL. It's usually a text editor side-by-side with the REPL. Most LISP IDEs have a command to send forms over to the REPL to be evaluated. In this manner, you develop your code iteratively with the REPL almost as if having a conversation with the REPL. You try a form, and if it doesn't work, you change and iterate, line by line of your code. Through this "conversation", you've gone from a single form, to an entire function that works, than a module. You build from the bottom up. There is no, code-compile-test cycle, it's always instantaneous. With some REPLs (like Common Lisp), you can even break from an exception, update your code and resume the code from the point before the exception. It's much more than the REPL most people are used to with Python or Ruby.

Yea, Cursive is the best by far for doing Java interop. It is really good.

JetBrains is finally working on a first-party Rust IDE.

I tried some mechanical keyboards back in the day for the "benefits". I never got it and my hands would be strained from typing on the high travel, high resistance keys. The Apple Keyboard (I use the UK/English International) is so much easier on my hands. They're easy to find, well-supported and robust.

I'm pretty sure they're looking into creating an official one now. I recently received an email survey asking about using Rust and which IDE I use from JetBrains. I wouldn't be surprised if an official one comes out in the next year.
