With ctrl-R you'd presumably need a bunch of absolute path navigation commands in the past, with z you don't need to worry about that.

There may be more clashes, like picking up on filenames instead of directories.

Typing `z res` or whatever is also a bit faster than hitting ctrl-R then `res`.

Anyone who spends significant time in vim has already remapped ESC to something else anyway, be it caps-lock or a key combo.

The 2019 MPB does have an 'esc' key.

I changed Caps Lock to work as ESC and I'll never go back.

I did this too, one downside though is that it's become such muscle memory for me at this point that using someone else's computer always results in my hitting caps lock instead of escape the first few times.

Yeah, that's the unfortunate downside. But it hasn't really happened to me since last March for some reason.

I’ve mapped it to ctrl for a while now and I’ll never go back either. In vim I use ctrl—[ for Esc, which I only started to do when the MBP added the Touch Bar.

Well it's nice you aren't just blaming the poor immigrants but the rich ones also. Very egalitarian.

Neither of which are the main sources of our problems.

Looks good but that price is $200 higher than the Sony WH1000 or Bose 700. Also that case is hilarious, I guess they don't fold at all

If you paid $549 for headphones, you want people to know. These are like the Gucci handbags of headphones.

I'd be the one who bought these and only ever used them at home out of fear of other people seeing that I'd bought them.

Reflecting on your comment made me realize I'm never going to be driving a fancy car, I feel like I've lost something today.

This comment gave me a good chuckle. I appreciate the honesty and self reflection

> Also that case is hilarious, I guess they don't fold at all

Interestingly, it looks like the usual Bose folding method, just stopped halfway through.

I feel bad for the engineers because surely they knew the new site was incredibly slow and poorly optimised, so it must have been pushed through by management. It looks alright, but dear god the performance.

> ... because surely they knew the new site was incredibly slow and poorly optimised...

I wouldn't be so sure. It really depends on the quality of the engineers. And if they're quality why are they working for Reddit pushing out crappy software? Could be a case of resume driven development.

I'd like to give the engineers and designers the benefit of the doubt, but there are better ways to do what they tried to do.

Somewhere in the engineering hierarchy, some very poor decisions were made.

She mentioned giving talks, and those are floating around online, as well as a decent twitter following. Chances are they just stumbled upon her randomly and decided that pure vitriol was the natural response, as is the way with certain communities.

I'd still rather hear her thoughts than guess.
