is there any people that moved to another country ? how was your experience ? (might go through this soon)
Xy
I moved to China for a few years. It was an incredible experience and I absolutely recommend leaving your bubble (everyone has one whether they like to admit it or not). The one piece of advice I would leave for you would be to always be prepared for a transition back home, or a new home. It's been quite difficult for me to find the same level of work back home and the pandemic has not helped at all. Best of luck to you!

What's your current setup? (Computer, OS?)

Why is subreply so positive compared to Twitter which is often negative? Is it purely like and retweet counts? Number of users?
Xy
my hypothesis has always been that when the mainstream begins to flood a platform, it brings negativity and a lower quality of content. what makes the world interesting? it's the one-offs, the unique perspectives and the mavericks. some may call this the eternal september - en.wikipedia.org/w...

Everything on trending is from 1 or 2 days ago, can we get a better discovery page that is not search but it's more up to date than the Trending tab?

Ooooh, good question. Apart from Chrono I think Frog, just for the way he talks and his sad story.

Have you tried Tridactyl?
Xy
my memory is poor, but i recall vimium having stopped working when firefox quantum was released and i think tridactyl was the replacement i tried. months later, vimium began working again and i switched back, but i can't remember what it was about tridactyl that i didn't like (or if that was even the extension i used at all).

Thanks for recommendation. I'll bookmark it. It's going to have to be a next year thing. Currently saving money for skis and a ski pass. I just moved to Utah

@joey if you're looking for a new touring bike, bikesdirect.com/pr... are pretty solid for the price. i would replace the saddle and pedals, but their prices for a new bike are very good. camping equipment can be quite expensive, but fortunately once you're out on the road, you're really only paying for food and some camping sites here and there.

Have you done much bike touring yourself? Where have you gone? It's something I really want to get into but currently don't have the money for a new bike or equipment.
Xy
i have only done one long, unsupported tour around the pacific nw with a group of buddies, but i ride pretty frequently around my current city. once it's easier and safer to travel internationally, my dream is to ride the silk road. i purchased my current touring bike (miyata 1000lt) used for about $500 a decade ago from a really nice guy off craigslist who had ridden it from london to singapore.

What (if anything) do you listen to while you're programming, or doing work that requires a lot of concentration?
