Can say the same for control characters in terminals. I even think maybe it's just easier to ditch them all and use QT to build a "terminal" with clickable urls, something similar to what TempleOS does.

These are just made up numbers. In our team, PR review is always 1 minute -- we never review, just approve, and let production reviews. /s

I don't really think it (late Capitalism) is reversible in anyway. It is better to just let it completes its path, turn a new page and maybe we can start from scratch. A lot of people (you and me) are going to suffer and die. But human nature says that real changes only happen when the old bastion is dead.

Ancient Chinese wisdom: "People praise doctors who delay the progression of incurable diseases but not those who prevent them".

Although I'd be happy to see this insanity die, I don't understand how anyone thinks this is going to "complete its path." Honest question. Can someone describe what that end consists of?

It is just like anything in the world, that has a path to complete. I'm just saying that no one can stop it from completing its path. I don't know what the end consists of, or what exactly the path consists of, but nothing too good for ordinary people, I guess, as an armchair historian observing current affairs.

Same reason I always wonder whether I should go for an electrician/mechanic/avion mechanic education if I'm laid off (and cannot find a job).

I'm really not a handyman -- quite the opposite -- it took me and my father 30 minutes to change the car battery last time -- and most of the time was spent on pushing a component dropped to the bottom out of the car. I used to think that more practices bring some sort of linear growth of the skill in the beginning, but now I tend to believe that for certain people (who are not suitable for the trade), the beginning is totally random -- I could practice 100 times and fail 100 tiles randomly, without really learning anything -- because there are an unlimited number of ways to do one thing, theoretically.

Software suits me way more. Soldering is also OK albeit more confusing. Unfortunately there is no trade that primarily deals with microcontrollers, except in military/defense.

For young people out there, it is better to build a desktop gig instead of a laptop. You can't change much in a laptop, unless it is some legacy laptops, but definitely not a Mac. Parents should help their kids to build a 16GB Linux gig. It's going to be more expensive than $599 nowadays due to the price of everything, but still, it is very expansible, and the kid can earn $$ and decide which parts he wants to upgrade.

BTW a laptop is definitely the only choice if the kid wants mobility, though.

The problem of the current situation is that even 5% is considered as a high interest for many people, if not most of them. Inflation already pushes up the base price, and if the interest rate keeps on 5% and above many people simply won't consume, which will further pull down the economy.

For example, we decided to keep our vehicle for another 4-5 years instead of buying a new one. The same Hyundai vehicle of the same model, but different year (2026 v.s. 2020), has gone up 8,000 CAD (10K CAD considering tax), with a much higher rate (5.99% v.s. 0%). There is no way I'm buying another car in the foreseeable future. We can definitely afford it, but we won't.

The whole world has pushed up prices of food, housing and pretty much everything higher. This is the real problem -- although I wouldn't say it is the root problem.

I think that's the purpose of that "flag" button. And that's good enough.

I do. But I haven't found a use of it, yet. I don't even have a ham radio. I guess I just impulsively got a license and that was it.

For people who don't use radio for communication (chat), what do you do? I guess it's useful as an emergency measure, but I could simply purchase an ordianry radio or use my car's, not a ham radio.

What do you mean that Cursor is dead? We are using it, and I see more companies jumping to use it.
