Jacques Tati’s “Playtime” is a playful visual treatise on modernity portraying the innate incompatibility between human nature and the Modernist expectations of behavior in space. Almost completely devoid of dialogue, shot on a massive set located near Paris known as Tativille, the film dissects Modernist architecture through one of its epitomes: the office building.

Journal · A Brief Guide to Modern Office Architecture Through the Movies - Architizer JournalThe following six films offer a unique glimpse of the birth of the modern office space and prophesize its inevitable disappearance.

I went looking for a better way to work with macOS Spaces, their virtual desktops, and while I didn't find anything to say "send this to desktop 8", I did find something else that was useful: Switching apps would make their desktops neighbors, but I wanted the desktops to stay in order. It's:
* System Settings
* Desktop & Dock
* Mission Control / "automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use", and disable that
#macOS #spaces #VirtualDesktops

I'm pro #tabs over #spaces in code for a couple of reasons

  1. A tab is a tab. It can be any width you want, it's more flexible.

  2. Spaces enforce a worthless width requirement.

And if you really want to use spaces, you can configure your IDE to transparently convert however many spaces you use to tabs.

#Musk opened the #Spaces apologizing for the delay, saying that “we unfortunately had a massive distributed denial of service” attack on the site that “saturated all our data lines.” He did not provide evidence for his claim. “As this massive attack illustrates, there’s a lot of opposition to people just hearing what *President* #Trump has to say,” he said.

You’re on a linux-y machine and you want to convert tabs in a file to spaces (say, two) and your editor doesn’t support that (hello, Helix 👀):

expand my.file -t 2 > my.file.tmp && mv my.file.tmp my.file

(Updated as original version just deletes the original file.) 🤦‍♂️

(Or pipe to sponge but sponge isn’t available by default.)
