Just pointing out that the C-suite is also a kind of centralized power.
Unsure why these kinds of stories always devolve into some kind of ism-vs-ism in the comment section because it almost always missed the point.
CEO pay is held up as a symptom of something. My interpretation of that symptom is that it represents a shift in capital over a period of decades. The interesting discussions are around what changed? how did that happen? is it ok? if not, what should be done?
Me? I happen to think it's not ok but like most, don't have a coherent set of suggestions about a path forward.
Yes. As a long time Emacs user I do that routinely on _every_ machine I use.
For those that don't know, there are a handful of control key sequences that perform basic cursor movements that are the same in Emacs, bash, zsh, and every text pane in Mac apps. Using caps lock as a control key makes this very pleasant.
I am unlikely to give up this habit since I despise moving my hands from the home row to use arrow keys -- for me, this is the main pain point when switching between Windows and Mac several times per day.
By all means, read up on bass traps... but be aware that posts about bass traps imply a fundamental misunderstanding of what they do (perhaps I'm misreading).
The problem: a speaker in a room produces sound, that sound is reflects by the walls. Those reflections will vary WRT phase of the original sound and causing something called comb-filtering (some frequencies will be louder because the reflections are in phase and amplify -- others will be 180º out of phase, resulting in a complete cancellation of those frequencies).
Solutions: sound attenuating material at the edges of a room to interfere with the _reflections_ and this reduce or eliminate comb-filtering. The goal is to improve the listening experience _inside_ the room. Acoustic treatment does almost nothing to help your neighbours.
Not unique. One could convincingly argue that this effect exists in many fields. Art (ie art history major vs artist). Music (ie violin player vs film score composer). Restaurant reviewing (ie critic vs chef). I'm sure there are many more.
As someone who used to work on BitKeeper, I'm tickled to see a more popular SCM's test suite as a kind of de facto filesystem benchmark -- confirming what we had been observing ourselves forever.
