I'm serious about that 40% keyboard.

Flying in the face of culture, I am here to say that often, smaller IS better. You probably have (serious) examples, too, but here are a couple of my every-day examples that significantly improve my life:
- my small pillow (17 inches)
- my 40% keyboard, which is great for long days of typing.
- modesty in my food portions (🤍 my fries, ice cream, pizza) has made my body happier
Without sarcasm or irony, what are THINGS that you recommend buying smaller?
Good options. And if your phone is provided by an employer, you are even more out of luck. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/dont-want-your-phone-carrier-tracking-your-personal-data-you-can-tell-it-to-stop/

It makes sense. Non-profit, literally cannot-be-bought concept is just a good idea. So say my three Mastodon accounts (which, full disclaimer, still cross-post to three twitter accounts)

@Endless_WebDev Blk and mostly liberal guy here…. I still use master. Worrying about such things was absolutely foolishly off mark. It was a non issue.

"Always like that"

@lupyuen I didn't expect the compiler emphasis, though. Funny twist there. I think web devs like me don't so often think of that.
Interesting read! Thanks. I am partial to #clojure and the lisps, which he doesn't mention -- lisps might fall behind his call for "modern" languages (because of their age, though this is actually a bad indicator for them), and Clojure definitely disagrees with him about types, but strong agreement on immutability and functional thinking.

I switched to Clojure because I wanted to trick my teammates into doing what they didn't want to do in Java.
