Note: 30% faster than a thermally challenged i9 on a MacBook Pro, not a desktop one. Given the comments on similar threads, I feel this needs to be mentioned.

Evil mode is better than VIM itself and a good editor for the Emacs operating system which previously lacked one.

Look up "third place", it's a really fascinating concept which I've been obsessed with for a long time and I really want to solve it, at least for me. I feel my long-term sanity depends on it. The gist is people used to

Though I'm sure the hentai lunch breaks aren't on the list of perks at even the most relaxed of FAANGs. No idea though, I'm pretty far removed from that world.

While your comment gave me a chuckle, I find it's (perhaps unintentional) flame bait which will steer the discussion into an unproductive crapfest instead of staying on the topic, which is alcoholism in America. That's to say, it

My issue with the context menu is "Search [selection] with Google" is in the middle of the context menu, after "Print selection" and "Take screenshot". Why? I cannot be the only one that uses that functionality

Good for you. Sorry I don't have a better analogy, but it's like coming home from a tour in the military, and telling everybody "hey guys, war is perfectly safe, look at me I'm still alive!" — I'm really happy

Sorry, I downvoted you, I hate when people think they're immune. They're one of the reason other people find themselves addicted to it. It's irresponsible and frankly immature. Smoking one or 100 cigarettes doesn't guara

Telling yourself there is no light switch in you, that you are stronger or better equipped than others, is a dangerous way to eventual relapse. Though for your own sake I really hope I am wrong.

I have no idea. I'm just saying that quitting smoking will be one of those three. Probably not the hardest, but it's up there. FWIW it's the hardest thing I've done in my 34 years of age, it's taken me 10+ years to

I think the "light switch" paradigm works for any drug with very strong addiction potential. Don't even consider doing heroin or nicotine. Cocaine _very_ carefully if you really have to. Though to be honest nicotine is one of

Or any Google app on iOS (i.e. Youtube), when you click on a link, asks whether to download Chrome or open it in Safari. Shut the fuck up and open it in my default browser, thank you.

I've seen this pattern in the wild already. IIRC my bank (Barclays UK) has a section in their marketing email preferences where you need to check the box IF you don't want to receive any marketing^Hspam email. People notoriously h

This stereotypical gamers you talk about are also very conservatives, and upgrades only if there is an actual benefit in doing so, for the sole reason of keeping the FPS as high as possible, which is at incredible odds with the ever changin

It doesn't. Aether was supposed to be an element, substance that filled the emptiness of space, not the emptiness itself.

I've only spent a lot of time with homebrew, apt, yum, dnf, pacman, and the latter is miles ahead in speed, efficiency, with the only drawback behind non-sensical option mnemonics: so instead of `pacman update all`, you get used to doi

Homebrew is very bad, probably one of the worst package managers I've used, and light years worse than Arch Linux pacman or apt, which I'm not a fan of, but better than Brew. It's certainly one of the better macOS package man

The Web is pretty powerful these days with WebGL and similar technologies, but it's still orders of magnitude slower than a similar app written in a native language with native bindings to OpenGL or Vulkan. Sure, this ain't DOOM,

I cannot overstate how a _really_ bad idea it is to register your most important asset, your email, on someone else's domain. I wish we techies would teach this to non computer literates, yet I see plenty software engineers doing this
