<p>Considering its ubiquitous and regular consumption in general population, doesn't alcohol shift the balance in favour of ibuprofen?<p>Also, possible blood clotting or stomach issues sound scary, but Aspirin has similar (opposite) issues. Pharmacists regularly push its combinations with Acetominophen (which has, of course, synergetic bonuses, but is not the reason) under multitude of brands with a hefty premium when people ask for either one. So in many situations you need to consider the added risks from Aspirin too.<p>Ideally, I'd like to have an optimized strategies of using all three of the aforementioned substances for common situations. Like, is rotating ibuprofen/acetominophen during the day safer than consuming just one?</p>

<p>I'm all for Win32, but those odd-shapes and custom skins were the precursors and the normalizing precedent for the current default mentality of "visual identity = branding" that's been killing desktop computing experience for years and is one of the reasons we have to endure reacts, electrons and multitude of half-baked widget libraries that consist of things looking like no particular control but all feature blurry text rendering, flaky accessibility, negative information density and their own special sets of bugs.<p>Unless you're building a Blender or an Ardour or, I don't know, a trading platform or a game, an individualized GUI should be the last of your priorities.</p>

<p>Yeah, I don't generally live in MC to the same extent I do in DC when I'm on Windows.<p>I rarely do anything besides the basics (F5/F6) when managing files in MC, and for advanced stuff, like using rsync/rclone for moving files, I mostly use the usermenu.</p>

<p>Isn't this the point if TUI/GUI that you don't have to? Common things should be shortcutted, some accessible from menus for discoverability.<p>Command entering is just one if the "modes", and not necessarily the default one.<p>If shortcuts are limited to special keys and combos, this frees plane input for commands, but I personally prefer list filtering by default.</p>

<p>If I could code with a piece of music playing in the background and not lose focus means it's not worth listening at all.<p>Very rarely I use custom-filtered (brownish) noise to help with isolation. Perhaps some kind of Ambient or New Age would work too in such situations, but things I like in those genres require attention and not paying it would be absolutely disrespectful.<p>I listen to all kinds of music at my dayjob but only during specific activities that do not require much contemplation and I can mostly flow with the music and do the work in the background.<p>Though, I'm a musician and sound engineer, so my relationships with music in general might be a bit special.</p>

<p>If by AI you mean the LLM-based tools common now, then I don't want the commits in PRs I'm going to review to bring any more noise than they already do. The human operator is responsible for every line, like they always were.<p>If by AI you mean non-supervised, autonomous conscience (as I believe the term has to be reserved for), then the answer is again no, as it's as responsible for the quality of its PRs as humans.<p>If the thing writing code is the former, but there's no human or responsible representative of the latter in the loop, then the code shouldn't be even suggested for consideration in a project where any people do participate. In such case there's no point in storing any additional information as the code itself doesn't have any value (besides electricity wasted to create it) and can be substituted on demand.<p>Commit comments are generally underused, though, as a result of how forges work, but that's another discussion.</p>

<p>Years ago replacing Notepad with an alternative was a given and everybody had their favourite.

<p>Looks like Andreas is a mighty fine engineer, but he's even better entrepreneur. Doesn't matter if intentional or not, but he managed to create and lead a rather visible passion project, attract many contributors and use that project's momentum to detach Ladybird into a separate endeavor with much more concrete financial prospects.<p>The Jakt -> Swift -> Rust pivots look like the same thing on a different level. The initial change to Swift was surely motivated by potential industry support gain (i believe it was a dubious choice from purely engineering standpoint).<p>It's awe-inspiring to see how a person can carve a job for himself, leverage hobbyists'/hackers' interest and contributions, attract industry attention and sponsors all while doing the thing he likes (assuming, browsers are his thing) in a controlling position.<p>Can't fully rationalize the feeling, but all of this makes me slightly wary. Doesn't make it less cool to observe from a side, though.</p>
