A single gesture from one side of the screen, in the style of the Windows 8 charms? A set of buttons (side-by-side, floating, switch foreground/background floating etc). Or put it on the dock. One gesture to learn - show the dock, mult

I hate the touchbar MBP I have for work. The touchbar turns off when you don't use the keyboard, so if you are thinking whilst staring at some debugged code and want to step into/continue the code, where have the function keys gon

My wife has to leave the room when I am working because she can't stand the noise on this 2017 MBP. 2012 MBP is no problem to her.

Catalina on test USB disk for me has been terrible; same hardware with internal disk running High Sierra = no problems. Very bad OS release in my opinion, and poorly handled transition (eg. secret partitions, unwritable root partitions, sec

I have been extremely disappointed with Catalina. I am keeping my work MacBook on Mojave as long as I can. My home MacBook is still on High Sierra I think, because I risk having non-functioning external audio hardware (mic preamps) if I upg

I literally have no idea how any newbie will know how to use the iPad via the array of gestures to show the dock, go home, switch apps, move an app over another, move them side-by-side, know that you can use mutliple fingers on the keyboard

Ah that makes sense, thanks. I guess there's no reason it can't serve pages because it is just "text" being returned after all!

So this is for the client?? I only ask because the homepage "Handle over 5 Million simultaneous connections on a single server." implies that it is for the server... ?

Yes, these utilities would probably need something in them such that fswatch implements ( https://emcrisostomo.github.io/fswatch/ ) - very useful.

How do you know how you got to that point in the code without a debugger? What's the call stack like? How could you debug a call in a DLL that is being loaded by your program if you do not use a debugger? It might be alright for tiny p

True to some extent but education is good and knowing the language you are using can only be a good thing. The same could be said of English. Would you switch to another language because someone uses a word you have never used before?

by 72deluxe 7y ago
This is true for all languages and projects you inherit though. Eg I am trying to use Magento in PHP land and it is truly grotesque.

How is it too manual compared to eg C# where I need to implement IDisposable and wrap use of variables in "using" to really ensure something is cleaned up when I want it cleaned up (without risky memory ballooning relying on the G

Thanks for the info! Did they approve of your module?

You are correct, thanks. My comment comes across as very irritated, but it's the same argument that will continue to the end of time I guess - "this tried, tested and widely used language is broken because it is not language $x an

In what way is C++ "deeply" broken? I seem to be using it daily with no problem, as does the rest of the world. I manage to use applications and operating systems where vast portions of it are written in C++ without problems - wha

I wish I could find a link but wasn't there a guy who went round editing wikipedia articles for elderly "famous" people, and then when they died he waited to see which publications' obituaries for said individual matched

Good job they don't let you access your bank account via a website if you're an admin user on a PC! Oh wait, they do... Honestly, I don't understand the mentality either. Admittedly the phone is more portable than a laptop, b

Judging by how keen they are to never adopt anything ever written by anyone else, I think it is precisely the opposite. They have a "not invented here" syndrome that causes them to keep hold of everything they create to be in full

Insane and grotesque! Think of all the CPU cycles on all hardware (clients + network devices) and energy used just to fetch web "content" these days. Might as well return to just burning coal at home to keep warm, thinking of the

As a burst of nostalgia, do you remember using Linuxconf on that machine? I kinda miss the early GTK+ and GNOME1 days, whilst I fumbled with fvwm under RedHat (before the Fedora split).

Yes this is true. I am quite happy living my life without all of this garbage, but more interested in how to effectively be able to stop this kind of garbage without constantly playing whack-a-mole.

You had noticed that too? I have it on my APple TV, my "smart" TV, Android and iOS/iPad OS. I am baffled by the constant updates to it. I literally cannot work out why they need to "update" it once a week (at least!

But what about dTrace and the 20+ years of work on the Darwin kernel? You seriously believe they'll chuck that in the bin?

Agree! I can't see it getting any better for 99% of users either - you have to be quite technical. And once DNS over HTTPS is the norm (thanks Google + Microsoft) I literally have no clue what I'm going to do - I won't be abl

Are you sure? I am certain it's accelerating. More and more people use the Internet for their daily life and more and more services are "going digital". I know some 16 year olds (born 2003, after XP how depressing, I feel old

I think there is a misunderstanding of what 'iOS', 'OS X' and 'Linux' are.... you're saying they wanted to port their operating system to another operating system....?

Honestly, why would sync take longer? I don't know how you do it but when sending data from a file, I read chunks of the file and send the chunk I have read, not the entire thing. These chunks can be very small, particulary as the MTU
