Mac only. Is there any reason this couldn't be a web app? And seems pretty restrictive to just have one platform, a desktop Mac.

I'd say the root is circadian rhythm disruption. Artificial lighting, social media, etc.

And in a squash and merge workflow, which are most teams I've been on the past 8 years, it really is the title of the pull request or merge request. That is what really matters.

And I really like that because it leaves room to let the developer do whatever kind of commit messages they want to that makes sense to them. Because nobody's really ever going to read those again after it squashed and merged.

Ironic, from reading the article it actually takes a while to find the research...

I'm definitely looking forward to making this been burger, thanks to you both!

How ironic that an Alphabet company, Waymo, only works with a competitor streaming music service, Spotify, and not their own, YouTube Music. I guess that shows how separate they are.

Would be nice if the landing page had some graphical pictures for a graphical interface...

So true. All protein on the planet, was made from sunlight and photosynthesis. You can eat the animal that ate the plants, but then you lose out on tons of micronutrients and fiber.

Is animal meat healthy? In small amounts (10% less caloric intake) disease correlation does not increase, but higher then 10%, disease rates see a direct correlatory increase.

The plant meats are healthier than the animal meats.

Impossible definitely has more of a "dead cow funk" taste to it. Which is why I actually prefer Beyond Meat, because it tastes better without "that taste".

I think it actually is "Beyond" meat, in that sense.

Ah, yes, that works, thank you. Was not obvious.

ElijahLynn — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 18:02:20 +0000

My first impulse was when pressing the channels that it wasn't working. I then realized I had to hold down my thumb for it to then give me a prompt to tune to the channel. That user experience needs to be improved.

Other than that, this totally fits the nostalgia of old school cable channel surfing!

Well done!

ElijahLynn — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 22:39:07 +0000

Clickbaity headline: Seems more accurate to stay stepping to the left, instead of stepping down. Stepping down implies leaving the company, which is not the case as Jay is moving into the Chief Innovation Officer role.

fwiw: I get a valid response when following the steps you mentioned. I do not get the message you mentioned:

Love this:

The judge said the repayment process should be straightforward and grew impatient when a Justice Department lawyer said the government hadn’t yet formalized its position on refunding the tariffs, which President Trump imposed by citing a decades-old law. “Your position is clear,” the judge said. “The Supreme Court told you what your position is.”

Doesn't the surface have a touch screen?

I don't really see how it's a competitor if it doesn't have a touch screen.

New comment by ElijahLynn in "MacBook Neo"

ElijahLynn — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 17:00:39 +0000

First thing I did was search the page for "touch" as in touch screen. Still no touch screen. I've gotten so used to a touch screen with my X1 yoga that every time I use my Mac for work I get pissed off at it because I can't touch it. Just simple things like scrolling or multiple check boxes etc

New comment by ElijahLynn in "Welcome (back) to Macintosh"

ElijahLynn — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 22:44:40 +0000

Gonna say that the switch from X11 to Wayland that was pretty much forced this year across many distributions, broke a ton of things too (screenshot programs, keyboard shortcuts), however, all the code is open source, and there are workarounds and source code available but it still sucks.

Basic keyboard shortcuts are still broke with the Wayland migration. e.g. Copyq has this janky workaround for a shortcut to register with the xdg-portal (that works until reboot, then stops), Warp terminal claims there is no support, Flameshot was impossible to configure, have to use the built in Gnome shortcut tool now. The whole ecosystem got wrecked. I have been so irritated by this that I've been considering switching TO the mac ecosystem, BUT this thread is good on my eyes and makes me disinterested now.
