The 19" tire is "All Season" rated. The 20" performance tire is "Summer Only." So if you want an i3 "without the hassle" you simply get one with the more-common 19" wheels.
Yep. I rock all season tires on my (not an i3) car as well. They’ll never be great in the snow, but I live in an area where snow is rare so that’s fine.
I can certainly imagine the “bicycle” tires must not be very good at all in the snow unless they’re the specialized winter version!
I was going to counsel that you retain your tenure but I guess you've already decided to resign. (If so, why ask?)
The rationale for my recommendation is largely captured in other comments so I'll be brief: Winter is coming (macroeconomically). And it sounds like cocalc lacks: a strong balance sheet, a scalable sales model, and a story that would interest outside investors. As such, I personally would view the company as lifestyle/earnings supplementation and not core sustenance. It is also synergistic with your day job.
> My theory, completely made up and untested, is that these powerful Lisp/Smalltalk systems weave code and brains together in a way that amplifies both. It’s very organic, very hard to document, and thus it becomes very hard to absorb new brains into the system. <
Here's a simpler and less mystical theory. These programming systems are fundamentally image-based, and much of their leverage comes from the coder's ability to leverage all aspects of the meta-system. However, the more the core image is evolved the easier it is for a team to get out of sync. This is the ultimate namespace clash.
A slew of other highly-productive languages share this feature, e.g., APL and Forth.
> The fact that dozens of companies have been built around millions of lines of Common Lisp code at all levels of abstraction solving some of the most complicated problems is a testament to the scalability of Lisp.
I would draw the opposite conclusion from your statement. "Dozens" is not a big number compared to the universe of software-based companies. Up that number by three orders of magnitude and I'm sold.
> Can we sue Google when they do things like this? No single entity should wield this much power.
Of course you can. This is America and anybody can sue anybody for anything (with few exceptions).
Winning the suit is another matter. Unless you have smoking-gun evidence of discrimination or some such, I'd say the case would be DOA.
Of course, the costs of the suit would likely be prohibitive as well. I don't think that many lawyers would take a case like this on contingency. Maybe pro bono.
Try the Onetab extension. Invoke it on one of your project windows and then name the resulting link group and make it a favorite. Message the Onetab preferences to your liking first. Very clean solution.
Thanks. It's unclear if Onetab does what I want because the UI is so horrible:
- I open a bunch of tabs.
- I click the Onetab icon. It closes all my tabs. What?
- It's now showing me a page listing the tabs I had open. Ok, I can name this group. I name it "Foo". Then I hit "Restore these tabs".
- I now have my tabs back. Great.
- I click the Onetab icon. It closes all my tabs again, and this time my named group is gone, replaced with an unnamed group containing the tabs as they were. What?
- I restore the tabs again (sigh).
- I open another window with some tabs. Maybe I can save this window as a separate group. I click the Onetab icon. It closes all my windows!
It's completely nonsensical. From what I can tell, Onetab is designed to wrap all your current windows into one group that can be saved and then restored later, but restoring it actually deletes the saved group.
It's as if you had a photo scrapbook in real life that disappeared when you opened it, leaving you only with the photos. Then, when you want to put the scrapbook back on the shelf, you get a new scrapbook and put everything back in.
I did not find the author's points very compelling wrt the "we need chrome no more" link-baity title. Clearly, many users -- mostly devs -- do need Chrome.
But more importantly I think that articles such as this deflect from the real abuse-of-power that Google wields and that's in advertising. Google can and has shut down whole businesses by withholding access to its ad platforms. I'm not sure that Google has ever hurt anybody by denying access to Chrome.
