I’m not much of a fan of Discovery, as seems to be the case for many Trek fans. It’s alright though. But this aspect I found myself enjoying. I liked the whole mycelial network angle.

I love it! I think these two might be my favorite pairing of the entire franchise.

You can do anything! Just take a look, it’s in a book.

I don’t like Apple. That’ll probably show. But I like Microsoft and Google even less, so ultimately I do want them to continue to succeed for the time being.

They should sell cheaper x86 and arm laptops. If other manufacturers can sell decent midrange laptops for around $500 USD, so can Apple. They can even charge a bit extra for that Apple logo and still come in well under the $1000 minimum price tag now.

Though that in and of itself might be shooting themselves in the foot a bit. They have kind of a designer brand vibe, people might not trust reasonably priced hardware from them. So they’d probably want to adjust their marketing too.

I think they should do this, because declining sales tells us less people are willing to pay that premium. Though they should keep their current product line too. I like what they’re doing with their Mx ARM chips.

Oh I wouldn’t say I’m a beginner. I’ve been scripting and coding for… 20 something years. I’m just not very skilled. Stuff I write tends to be simple and small, so all I really want from my editor is auto indenting and syntax highlighting.

I think if I was trying to manage a larger project I might find use in an IDE, though perhaps it is more of a crutch.

Vim.

If I were a more competent coder I might use a bigger IDE, but for the basic stuff I do, it works great for me.

I have this opinion of PHP. I don’t use it, and I look for alternatives when I find something that does what I want that’s written in it.

Your callout is fair though. I’m not going to switch or anything. I’m happy with my favored scripting language. But I’ll try to not be dismissive of projects that are written in PHP.
