If I need something, I'll ask for it. When I visit the US there is nothing more annoying to me than waiters interrupting my meal.

A few years back, here in Vienna bars didn't turn on TVs for a whole year (there was a notice on the TVs about how they can't turn them on for some reason, and to complain to $WHOEVER, not sure of the details). It was magnificent.

Tactile feedback? What for? You have visual and audio feedback. After all, you are trying to set volume or brightness to a specific level...

I only use my laptop when I am traveling. At home, I have no need for it. I am not traveling with speakers. I doubt I am alone.

Who is this mythical "greatest ally" you speak about?

That's my point, Linux "won" without needing any presence on the desktop side. Any suggestion about what should happen with Linux and/or Linux users that ignores this fundamental fact is utterly hopeless.

I can't recall if I ever saw it, but by default it will use HFS+ for external drives.

You got it backwards, Go used to do raw system calls on macOS, and binaries were occasionally broken by kernel updates. Now Go uses libc on macOS, and binaries are forward compatible with future macOS versions just like any other C/C++

In Plan 9 all the state is in the kernel, so it doesn't have this problem. Inferno doesn't have system calls.

Not true. On Solaris (and Windows), and more recently in macOS as well we link with libc (or equivalent), and we can still cross compile from any system to these systems. It's not a free lunch of course, doing raw system calls would be

Funny, when it comes to programming languages like C, operator errors are very much blamed on the quality of the language.

No, it's presentation software that's implemented via a website. The primary user of this software is the person giving the talk, not people on the internet. The fact that people on the internet can also see it is a bonus that com

The MB uses a 5W CPU, the Air uses a 7W CPU, still miles behind the performance of real laptop CPUs like those found in the Pro line. If you need to decide between MB and MB Air, performance should't enter into it, it's almost the

Not even with the keyboard, but especially with the keyboard. It's the best keyboard I have ever used. I love it.

Gimp having multiple windows is its best feature. Luckily, Photoshop on macOS (but not Windows) also has multiple windows mode (though it's emulated, they aren't really operating system windows, so not as nice as Gimp).

I don't understand how it is possible to work like this. As soon as I started learning programming I immediately wished for and imagined some kind of version control. I didn't have to imagine much, as I very quickly learned about

I don't know, I visited almost every major european city back when portable GPS devices were not a thing, and I never had a problem navigating. Even now, I almost never use the GPS. In fact the only time I ever got lost in a foreign ci

The best part of OpenBSD (to me), as opposed to say, FreeBSD is that pkg -u only brings in security fixes, instead of unrelated crap I don't want. When I want new packages, I'll upgrade the operating system. I very much appreciate
