What made you stop doing iOS development? I would consider a Mac Mini for that and remote into it from a decent machine.

2012 MBP here: 87.3% health (6900 mAH as designed, 6021 mAH now) on 871 cycles, 2533 days old. Pretty impressed with it really. I use this Mac a lot.

For me, odd things like inability to have a dark dock and titlebar and light windows. Using quickview on a file in Finder and then pressing shift-up used to select the file and the one above it, and then show a preview of the newly selected

I bet you sighed inside when opening those ports... Thankfully PostgreSQL outputs JSON and accepts SQL with JSON in it last time I looked, so you can bypass the web service in the middle and just give web client users direct access to the d

Out of interest, did you not consider this expensive when you started paying that amount? I used to work with people who thought it was a "good deal" to be paying £110 a month to Sky for their phone, broadband and TV. I couldn&#x2

What about Intel's compiler for C++? Or Borland's? Or EDG's? Or DigitalMars? They were around for a long time.

Out of interest, what do you use instead? I have been trying to stick with C++ because it seems the one language that isn't too badly dragged into platform-specific fan clubs.

Not sure - I thought it got significantly better with C++11/14? Admittedly it also became rather more complicated, but the changes were generally for the best I thought?

Let's hope we get some form of generics because in my recent use of it, I can see the usefulness of type information for parameters and return types but not the complete inability to say that this function will return an array of a cer

That's surely because C++ is the language To Rule Them All! I jest partly, because every time I write something in C# or PHP (even with the half-baked "strong" typing they are introducing), I constantly curse and think how ea

Where did you look for tuning Postgres? I am interested.

And we just thought the frontend of websites and services was bad. Seems the insanely bad coding and ignorance of speed and performance goes all the way to the backend too! Disappointing.

I think Brits find public singing embarrassing, and even more so if the person doing it is right next to you, and a complete stranger. It gets worse if it involves a guitar. Of course, this changes if alcohol is involved. I get the feeling

So should I write software that just leaks and not worry about it?

Slack is running a chrome instance - look at it in detail using Sysinternal's Process Explorer. Skype now does the same. It's so grossly dumb - giant native applications running a hidden web browser to show a webpage that does it

But what the method resolves to could be very different in the case of an inherited hierarchy, or where a base function is overridden in a child class. It has never been a difficulty even with colossal codebases that the function that it is

"Swift has been taken over by theorists who debate academic things or solve yet another corner case in their type system, making a complex language even more complex, rather than deliver what their users (developers) actually need to b

I can imagine it is very hard tracking that! Is there a way you could split each area to a separate account/card so that you can spot odd spendings? eg. recreation on one, business on another, food on another, fuel on another, general

A lot of the comments in this section appear completely uneducated about the Windows architecture eg COM/RPC and seem to think that it's just some high-level recompile to get it to run on another platform. It is unrealistic. Eg th

Thankfully you can still run Windows+R > control Or "control [shortcut]" eg control fonts Or can still use MMC, or blablabla.msc, eg. devmgmt.msc and hardly have to interact with the snow-blindness Settings app.

Here's just guessing: - Most of the tools by Sysinternals, eg. ProcessExplorer, ProcessMonitor - Tools by Nirsoft, eg. TCPView, GDIView, HeapMemView etc. - Microsoft's own tools eg. WinDbg, System Profiler, all the snap-ins for MM

Do you have sufficient disposable income that you don't notice a $20 bill coming either out of your bank or credit card for an entire year? I would wager that you need to pay more attention to your finances. As the old addage says, &qu

Are you aware how many requests pages make simply by visiting them? Hae you ran a DNS server and seen how many third-party sites get hit simply by visiting one news page, for example? I would rather have more control over what gets scraped

I run pihole on a Raspberry Pi3 at home and you'd be wowed at the amount of dialling home all devices so, and metrics. With a network of Apple iPad/Mac, Windows and Android devices, it's over 25% of all DNS requests that I bl

The older MacBooks with Firewire had target disk mode where you pressed T on boot, and the MacBook then acted as an external disk to the other host Mac. Very useful for backing stuff up! No clue how you'd do that with the newer ones (d

I am not sure about Rust causing this. I think the safety has long been a goal of any C++ developer, particularly with large projects. I mean, I've touched or looked at rust yet safe C++ is very very high on my list of "important

No, they were aimed at the system utilities eg. system-* that present UIs. They weren't tied to a DE (but did use a specific windowing toolkit like GTK+); I am not talking about the control center or Kontrol system - I am talking about

I don't think there is any embracing. Just Replace. Extinguish.

Thank you - anecdotes help me because I know 1 other Mac user and he's not overly technical (day job is Windows C++ so there's little Apple love around here)
