This is actually a pretty big deal for two reasons.

1. VS Code’s “killer apps” (Docker, Python, Go, C++, SSH, Live share extensions) are closed source and exclusive to VS Code offical.
   • It makes it impactcal to switch to something like VS Codium, because they’re missing the killer apps.
   • The Eclipse foundation (for whatever reason) not only created the defacto alternative extension store (the one that powers VS Codium) But the point I want to make here is:
   • They have been working on their own suite of killer apps (Docker, Python, Go, etc) Making it actually realistic to switch away from VS Code. And their killer apps are open source.
2. “why not just use VS Codium?”
   • VS Codium is great, but because of manpower limits, they always have to be “downstream” of VS Code. They can’t rewrite any of the core systems.
   • As someone who contributes to VS Code, and loves VS Codium, Some of the issues I have with VS Code have been open on github for +5 years, with hundreds of comments thumbs-ups. (open since 2020) We can’t even sort the file explorer view by last-edited and folders-first (but we can do folders-first alphabetical).
   • Theia looks like it could finally be the hard fork I’ve been waiting for. A hackable editor, trying to be open source, where all my extensions work, and the community can actually make a PR, get it merged, and extensions are not excessively sandboxed.
   • Will it be that? Idk only time will tell, but the Eclipse foundation has a pretty good record in my book.

In certain states in the US they require a drug test to make sure you are infact taking the medication yourself. Its almost like a reverse drug test; you get in trouble if you’re not taking drugs.

So I guess also don’t forget and/or try to get off the medication otherwise you’ll fail the drug test and also loose access.

Also don’t forget your mandatory call to the doc each month for every refill
and don’t forget to call a day early when it lands on a weekend
and don’t forget to setup the mandatory appointment every 6 months
and don’t forget to actually go to the appointment
and don’t forget to schedule a drug test once every whatever-amount-of-time it is for your state
and don’t forget to not eat or drink or take the medication the morning of the drug test

Cause if you forget just 1 of those they’ll obviously have no choice but to deny you the medication you’ve been taking every day for 10 years. But you understand because punishing disabled people for mistakes/crimes of able-minded people (who don’t find those things challeging), is clearly the only option they have.

I disagree slightly, but only with his level of cynicism. I agree, we see the “peak diskwasher” problem everywhere. And I agree with his conclusion. But I feel he glossed over that, well, people still need dishwashers. Growth might be impossible, but a steady and “boring” amount of profit should still be possible selling plain-ole-dishwashers. Yet … for some reason, we don’t see that.

Instead companies throw everything into growth and we get the retarded bluetooth enabled dishwasher problem everywhere, and I’d like to know more about why.

A (nice) coworker once asked me if I had a system for managing tasks.

I thought they were asking to learn, so I enthusiastically told them about the ~30 different systems I use; the inbox of all incoming tasks, a flowchart for task allocation, urgency VS importance whiteboards, etc, etc. I mentioned each of the books and methodologies those systems came from. (I highly recommend this 5min vid and listening to Order from Chaos (written by and for people with ADHD))

“Oh… cool” was their response, and in that moment I realized they were actually asking because they thought I didn’t have any system at all…
