I've been using Vim for over 20 years yet every time I read an article like this I learn something new. How did I not know about `ci "` until now?!

Good question. I answered it in an edit to the question so others would be sure to see it.

I've worked in a situation like that and felt productive but that was only because we were all basically on a tiger team locked in a room together to work on the same project. Me and one other developer, a tech writer, a QA person, an

This is true. Amazon needs tons of code just to get to the point of being able to even run Apache or nginx at all, and all that code written by contributors for free. So is your argument that all of those developers, or, at least the Open

I don't understand where this sentiment is coming from lately? All of a sudden there are people who seem shocked that corporations are profiting off of Open Source software, even though nobody in the community has ever had a problem w

Too many Open Source developers discount the value of documentation. I all too often hear, "It's Open Source so the community should step up and write the documentation." To which I counter that the best person/people

This has broken docker-sync for me. I get the error: mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.3/usr/lib/ruby/include/

You know; I just realized I should clarify some confusion I myself may have introduced here. My original comment suggests the trigger is always matching a domain regex but domain isn't the only trigger. Content blocker authors can ma

Apple themselves recommended Ghostery Lite. I feel like that one had some trouble in the past but I can't recall why. Regardless, I installed it and Magic Lasso to see how they do. I used to use Wipr with some success but it appears

Actually, I've been using content blockers on iOS and I haven't noticed any ads coming through. That's not to say they won't/don't ever but my browsing experience is noticeably smooth on that platform.

by Zelphyr 7y ago
The content block lists will get updated frequently just like the ad block lists. And, sure, it’s a cat and mouse game just like it is with the add blockers. But at least this way is more performant and secure. In the end, as has been said

Not that I'm aware.

There is a lot of confusion around this issue. Some people are taking this to mean that Safari has completely banned ad blockers, which isn't the case. Instead they've switched to a model that matches what they've been doin

My business partner worked at an education-related company you've almost certainly heard of about six or seven years ago. When he started he ask where the defect tracking system was. The guy he was talking to pointed and said, "

Can't we do both?

Well, I actually needed it. I jumped into a pool with my 6S in my pocket. Other than that, you make a fair point.

It doesn't help that they have clearly filled the audience with Apple employees who were instructed to whoop and holler and when to do it. I understand the motivations for doing so. A product announcement like this would otherwise be

I honestly can't put my finger on it. All those features you listed are great but none of them make me WANT that device. I used to want the new product they announced as soon as they showed it off. Maybe when I hold one in my hands

For the first time ever I feel like I just wasted my time watching an Apple product announcement. I'm not saying those products are bad or are poorly engineered or anything like that. I'm just saying the products they showed off

This is great for the new users it appears to apply to. But what about people like me? I haven't had a Facebook account in seven years. Yet, I'm not delusional to believe they don't still have my data (yes, I "deleted

Setting up a VPN that tracks all of your network activity? That makes me queasy. Why should I trust these people to keep all that valuable network traffic data private for me? Apple didn't steal this idea. They may have implemented

There is a lot of concern in this thread about open source projects needing funding and they're not wrong. There are a lot of projects that are underfunded--most of them, in fact. However, it's not like the developers of and cont

NetNewsWire is a wonderful piece of software. I remember it being a part of my daily routine back in 2005ish but then it got bought and bought again and I couldn't afford the price of it (thanks Great Recession!) so I stopped using it

I don’t disagree but the way people speak about static typing is as if it’s present during the life of the application.

by Zelphyr 7y ago
Having a static type system is great but it’s just another tool in the toolbox. I’ve been writing Javascript for 23 years without types and didn’t miss them. They’re great when I have them in other languages but not a deal killer in languag

I’m not sure why this is getting downvoted. As a Freemason myself I find the ban on discussion of politics and religion while in lodge refreshing. It’s an important facet of the craft that helps us view each other as equals.

The Freemasons figured this out over a century ago to good effect.
