We live in the city and always are struggling with allergies. The whole family is always coughing or sneezing. We bought a xiaomi air purifier like in the article last week, started using it in the bedrooms for a few hours in the evening, a

I use syncthing to sync my dev folders between windows, linux and mac. The mac is set up to backup to time machine and backblaze. I’ve standardized on vscode as much as possible, use settings sync to automatically sync its config between ma

I still prefer buttons for the tactile feel and feedback, but the downsides you listed are pretty much made up. Or, maybe your personal experience doesn’t translate to everyone, and touch controls are indeed dangerously distracting for mo

It is not as if every comment here is a gem of wholly original storytelling. For the most part we’re all just regurgitating other people’s sentences. Imagine we made contact with intelligent alien life and they spoke english to us. Would pe

As far as I understand the regulation that exists was added to prevent disasters of the kind that occurred previously. You seem to be arguing some of the added regulations were unnecessary for safety? Which ones are they, and how much money

The thing with Elon is that he has no respect for rules. This is what makes his companies successful. His company will zag when everybody zigs, because he will say “zigging is stupid, and only an idiot would do it that way”, after which he

I don’t think the disposition of this individual has any bearing on whether the police should protect them from criminal acts of aggression. The police should protect all equally.

I wouldn’t go back further than the 8th gen intel minis that the m1 replaced, just to get a bit of longevity out of them (including macos support) and the price for those is close enough to the refurbished m1 models that I don’t think it’s

I have to say that scala was the most fun in programming I’ve had. You can make beautifully elegant code, that is oh so clever. It is easy to get seduced into thinking about elegant code instead of good solutions.

We have something similar to this in Antwerp, Belgium. Most of our solutions are built on top of a kubernetes-powered microservices platform, with an API-first design approach. It is called the Antwerp City Platform as a Service ( https:&#x

I don’t think it matters that much how they’re labeled as long as they are easy to get rid of. Before I ship something to production I try to get rid of all TODOs. Sometimes this means rewriting it as documentation of weird behavior, often

Prototype.js + Scriptaculous was what really started the JS craze IMHO, followed by jQuery. Then came the increasingly more complex MooTools and YUI and Ext.js and friends, though nothing really took off nearly as hard as jQuery did. You

What does one have to do to get as clear and pretty of a UI as that on the modern desktop OSes? Buy a retina mac ;) I kid but only partly. Running at integer (2x) scaling on a 200 dpi screen makes everything perfectly crisp. Anti-aliased

One important point stuck somewhere in the middle is his observation that in the physical world, no public square, or public debate looks like what's on display on internet social networks. All of them have rules, civility is a thing,

It doesn’t release all its carbon. Much of the biomass does not end up back into the atmosphere but ends up in the ground. Those oil deposits were once forests.

Yes, those displaylink docks are fine for office productivity work, but not that suitable for gaming or media consumption because of the cpu load. On the other hand, I plugged my m1 air into one at work and the cpu load was reasonable even

What works for you is what works for you, but I don’t think putting the middle of the screen at eye level is good advice for most people. Moving the head is indeed a bad thing, but you’re not supposed to tilt the head down, only the eyes. A

Just to be clear: I agree with you that I handled it badly. I disagree that just because a manager says something you automatically should do it, but I’ve learned to play ball and sometimes make the best of a bad situation instead of swimm

The main character is trying to do their job effectively, but can’t due to the low performance of a peer. They escalate to the appropriate manager to address the issue, but that manager transforms the performance issue into a relationship
