The time stamps are the key here, not the question of formality.

I really appreciate a “Good morning” if chatting before working hours.

Still, the question can be added in the same message to cut down on the wait time for an answer.


I use a Chrome Extension called OneTab that allows me to collapse all of my tabs into a list. You can also "Share as webpage" but the design leaves a lot to be desired. Congrats on the project!


Thank you :) Didn't know OneTab but it looks really useful for a guy like me with 100 open tabs.

I will check if I can create my own browser extension!



ctrl+f'ed for OneTab before I posted incase it was a dupe. It is a great extension and you make a good point. Ideally it'd be as easy to edit as this.


O’Reilly has a subscription that gives access to all of their books. Incredible amount of value over countless topics.


$49/mo isn't cheap though, you can buy an awful lot of books for that money directly.


$99/year via an ACM subscription [1]. And you get the printed copies of ACM magazines shipped to you every month.

Is it still worth to get it from ACM? I remember that they have recently restricted a bunch of sfuff on the ACM subscription. Examples: live online trainings, katacoda, notebooks, sandboxes and certifications.


> Examples: live online trainings, katacoda, notebooks, sandboxes and certifications.

To some of us, we don't learn very well from those things. Books tend to have a higher knowledge value and other advantages. For a discount, I'd be willing to give those things up, assuming I wasn't already getting access to Safari through work and didn't already have a reading list of purchased books a mile long.


Good question; I'm not sure. I only use books and rarely some video trainings. I just tried katacoda and, as expected, it doesn't work.

That makes sense; ultimately there's a reason why Safari subscription costs $49/month.


Some local libraries have Safari available for free to patrons.


Tech works?


Oops thanks


I’ve got slightly less experience and just moved to Product Management because it seemed like a blend of all of my flavors of knowledge. The PM Role is also helping me gain more knowledge to one day run my own company.

If you’re looking to be more hands-on with the engineering, I’d recommend management. Engineering Manager seems like the best fit given your description.


They've added padding to the design nearly everywhere - "menu bar is now taller", "Dock is lifted from the bottom", and the extra padding on the Sidebars is obvious.

As a power user of a Macbook Pro, this is cutting into my screen real estate and not very appealing to me.


But think of all the space saved by turning every web browser's title bar into tabs or location bars. So what if you're left with 8 pixels to grab a window with your mouse and move it!


If you're a power user, you probably know that you can hide the dock and the menubar


My dock is tiny and pinned to the right so I can use as much vertical space as possible. This might push me to adopt hiding the menubar.

It's more about the compounding effect when other apps adopt this more spacious UI pattern for their title bar, sidebar, etc.


Serious question - Has this trade war actually helped any U.S. industry?


From a politician's perspective, a political intervention doesn't have to help to be popular. People just have to think it helps.


Domestic steel and coal production, which is why Trump is uniquely popular in the rural areas surrounding Pittsburgh.


I am not so sure about that. These are graphs for steel production in the US:

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/steel-production

Looking at 5 years or more there doesn't seem to be such big increase in steel production.

And coal is in decline:

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/industrial-produc...

Also I read quite a few articles over the last year about closing down of coal mines, mainly in PA and WV.


Some people just vote for the person with the best-sounding promises. Results matter less than you might think.


The global steel industry is also in a slump regardless last time I checked. I've seen articles about plants idling in other nations as well.


The US steel industry is in better economic shape now than it has been in decades.

Nucor is nearly worth more than ArcelorMittal and earned more last quarter than ArcelorMittal did. Unthinkable just a few years ago.

Nucor's sales jumped from $16b to $25b in two years up through fiscal 2018. Net income jumped from $80m in 2015, to $2.3 billion in 2018 (operating income went from $654m to $3.3b).

US Steel Corporation saw its sales jump from $10b to $14b over two years through 2018, net income jumped from negative $1.6b in 2015 to positive $1.1b (operating income went from -$525m to +$950m over that time).

The US steel industry has been a disaster for decades. Now it's one of the strongest in the world financially. China's steel companies are hemorrhaging and require constant state support stimulus by comparison.

We can either have a healthy, strong domestic steel industry, or we can do nothing and watch China put it into the ground through dumping and massive state subsidies. I don't agree with any state protectionism. So long as China gets away with what they've been doing for decades in industries like steel, I agree with protecting important domestic industries. Steel companies (whether they're in the US or elsewhere) are directly competing with the Chinese state, the US state should intervene given the playing field is very uneven.


>Nucor is nearly worth more than ArcelorMittal.

No, it isn't. One share of Nucor costs more than one share of MT. This comparison isn't even in the ballpark of the correct way to compare two companies' worths. Nucor has 1/4th of the revenue and 1/5th of the production.

> We can either have a healthy, strong domestic steel industry, or we can do nothing and watch China put it into the ground through dumping and massive state subsidies

Steel is an intermediate product. No one buys steel as the final product. Changes in price of steel ripple across other industries for this reason. Steel makes up 2% of world trade and steel manufacturers provide the US with 81000 jobs, while our total manufacturers employ 12 million. On the chip manufacturing side, Intel alone employees over 100 thousand. It's more important to consider what the effects of tarriffs are on other parts of the economy than jerking around a little bit of revenue or job growth in a small specific US industry.

Also, China produces 10x more steel than the US, and is the largest consumer of steel. It makes sense - they're building out infrastructure at a really fast pace.

How many other industries will be hurt in exchange for a "healthy, strong" (whatever hard numbers, if any, those words are actually meant to convey) domestic steel industry? That is all that matters.


How much of that sales jump is from increase in cost of steel? All US companies are now forced to buy more expensive US-produced steel. This is exactly what economists predicted. US steel companies make more money at the expense of everybody else.
