For that reason, my default docked setup uses a Magic Trackpad 2 alongside my keyboard so I can have the best of both worlds. I know it’s excessive, though, and not for everyone.

I find that rent control is a good idea in theory, but leads to a lot of deadweight loss. As a former renter, what I really wanted was a predictable cap on rent increases. For folks who are long-term renters, without controls and predictabi

Dark versus light, in general, is fascinating. My fiancee and I have really different light sensitivities. She'll struggle to see in dimmer/only natural light indoors and I'll be able to see fine. Turning on overhead lighti

Yes, kind of. It has a subscription option, but you can also pay for a lifetime plan. They've done several major upgrades/redesigns and the lifetime plan is still honored.

I wish we would see more WebKit browsers just for more variety. I personally use Safari as my primary browser on my Mac. Ora is interesting as it's an Arc-like spin using WebKit, but still early days for it.

Indeed. With the future of the tariffs in some question with the upcoming SCOTUS case, why would any business choose to invest in manufacturing here when the barriers might be gone in a few months (or mid-next year if SCOTUS slow rolls a de

I believe that Battlefield 4 was the last good Battlefield game. Biggest asset was fully self-hostable servers that provided progression, community control, and allowed gaming clans/organizations to actually community-build. Nowadays

For me, it’s an under-desk walking pad. I’m not super consistent with that yet, but I’ve been infrequently doing something like: - 3-5 mile run, 5 days a week (one long day at 6+) - 5 days of lifting (upper/lower, PPL hybrid) - walking

I'd call that probabilistic emergence.

I understand your opinion and I'm curious as to your reasoning why it would be bad.

As someone who spent a few years in the codebase for Tracker. There was some attempt at “Clean Code” but mostly basic DRY techniques. The product, itself, was plagued by being in a split-brain reality of Backbone and React (we were migratin

In fact, if future competition is contingent on successful M&A activity, that’s a sign of such deep organizational rot that you either have to radically transform management or ride the company down. Not everything needs to last and com

If you pay the median salary, you’ll end up with Congress consisting of only independently wealthy people whose priorities don’t align with the median citizen.

I think this is the most likely outcome. It'll drive salaries up in 5-10 years when there's a serious talent pipeline shortage and the demand for senior talent isn't satisfied by a dry pipeline.

The real double-edged sword is that tariffs can be both recessionary and inflationary. Consumers cutting spending habits will slow the economy and trigger layoffs, which in turn will continue slowing the economy. On the flip side, we still

I'm extremely skeptical of this take. LLMs today aren't good at keeping significant context (even with large context windows) in such a way that doesn't lead to a spaghetti mess of code. We're in a precarious spot where

Your point about opposing right-to-repair is true. The one about battery throttling is missing a lot of context and is extremely disingenuous. Apple noticed that aging batteries couldn't provide the voltage and would crash the phone, s

I want more Webkit forks rather than more Chromium forks. That battery life is critical for me on my Mac and I think Webkit returning to Windows would be interesting too!

Apple's headcount grew at a much slower pace during COVID/ZIRP in comparison to other FAANG/MANGA companies, so they're less likely to cut full time roles. Contractors have been cut, but there are many fewer guarantees w

I’m hoping so, too, along with another boost in salary growth since they’re immediately expensable.

I got the devs mixed up. New World Interactive made Insurgency. Offworld Industries is responsible for Squad.

These days, indie devs seem to be the only ones to still allow self-hosting of servers. Take for advantage New World Interactive (makers of Squad, Squad 44, etc). Their servers are self-hosted, though, there is an "official" licen

by Spartan-S63 1y ago
Yeah, pre-console-ization of PC releases, devs would produce server binaries that would allow you to host your own servers. You could tweak rules, give preferential slots, etc. It allowed you to create a real community around your self-host

I did know the inserts would fit prior to buying the pens.

So true. I hated using BIC ballpoint pens for this reason. I found the Pilot Rollerballs are my favorites to use. The 0.5mm size writes really smoothly. I picked up a couple bolt action pens for some more heft and put the Pilot rollerball f

This is myopic. 100,000 years ago, humans didn't understand the basic rules of how things worked. They would have no idea if and when the next ice age would happen. We've learned a lot as a species and as such, our biological need

Namely, it comes from their query builder's API choices. For example, from SeaQuery's README: ``` use sea_query::*; // For example Character table with column id, character, font_size... pub enum Character { Table,

Back when SeaORM first released, I was excited about another ORM that supported async (as Diesel didn't have an async shim at the time), but man does it have some weird design decisions. The underlying query builder's API is jus

With Chrome deprecating Manifest V3 and removing it, I'm still perplexed why BCNY chooses Blink/Chromium as their base for both Arc and Dia. Since they were Mac-first, it would make more sense to choose Webkit and it would play ni
