<p>I also just moved to a new house, and am very happy this showed up.
I'm trying to do a complete furniture refresh for my office, declutter, and reorganize.<p>I'm lucky enough that there is a large window in the room, and I also only use one monitor. While I think my room is not as large as his, I can still make it work.<p>The one thing that was stopping me was cable management - but with clever furniture placement, I think the cables can mostly be hidden.<p>The non digital side makes total sense and I would love to mimic this</p>

<p>I think the key difference is the usage of face masks and plainclothes - as far as I can tell, from various different news articles - ICE agents weren't concealing their identities en masse using face masks under Biden and Obama.<p>Based on historical examples of secret police, plainclothes and face masks on Federal Agents by default could definitely make people think that we are "approaching a police state".</p>

<p>I used to use Pilot G2s and was a huge advocate for them until I tried the Uniball Jetstream RT. I just think it writes more smoothly.<p>But I've never actually had to put a refill in -- I bought a 3 pack of those about  8 years ago and they're still all going strong. I just don't write enough.</p>

<p>Even if that may be the case - I do believe that the author has written something worth reading. Even if you disagree with the conclusions in the article, having exposure to her perspective is ultimately a positive in that it at least gets us thinking.</p>

<p>The title of this post is incorrect. We have to wait a few hours to know if the rocket man has made it to Mars orbit.<p>EDIT: It's not a Mars orbit, its a solar orbit that puts it close to Mars at times.<p>From the linked article:
"If all phases of the flight are successful - and that will not be known until at least 6.5 hours after lift-off - the Tesla and its passenger will be despatched into an elliptical orbit around the Sun that reaches out as far as the Planet Mars."</p>

<p>You might also not suffer from the same sensitivity to motion as the author's wife.<p>I think the main takeaway here is that there is a "Reduce Motion" setting which is not being respected in some cases in iOS 11.</p>

<p>I thought this was a decent read, but I'd like the point out that the author really isn't making the case to save Flash as a technology. Rather, he's saying we should save all the content generated with Flash.<p>The headline is a little misleading.</p>

<p>There is definite value in having more granular commits, but at the same time, there are commits that don't really belong in the commit history.<p>While it might take more time than squashing everything, git rebase -i really helps a ton in these situations. I can fixup all the "fixed typo" type of commits into a meaningful commit, and even reword commits if necessary.</p>

<p>The decision to put Edge under the Windows org and make it Windows-only was a decision made under Ballmer. I'm guessing if Satya had to do it today, he'd try to make Edge cross-platform.</p>
