I consider my usage of my Macs to be "professional." 1. An Apple Developer license is only required for distributing software in App Stores and notarizing. 2. I'm not sure what ads you're talking about in macOS. I'

What stuff is Apple doing that is keeping me from doing what I want? I think it's a good thing for 99% of computer users to not be able to just run any random software they download off of the internet. Gatekeeper, XProtect, and notar

2000, XP, and 7 were actually pretty solid releases of Windows. Vista was okay after hardware caught up and it got a few patches. 10 was a huge improvement over 8.x, but 11 has had a lot of bugginess for me, particularly related to the new

Since macOS is a UNIX system, can’t you just use a symlink to the external drive or is there something specific about Docker that prevents this?

Exactly! My iPhone 12 Mini is actually worth replacing the battery in. I could do that and still turn a profit reselling it, or continue using it for a couple more years before it actually becomes obsolete and unusable.

That looks incredible! How did you learn Metal? The documentation on it from Apple leaves a lot to be desired for learning it from scratch and all the books I’ve encountered look woefully out of date.

That’s for the all access package with news, talk, and sports. If you just want music it’s $10 a month, which is much more reasonable. Plus, it’s been my experience that if you’re willing to call them and go through the charade of threate

This is why it’s so critical that we don’t consolidate onto monocultures. It is crucial that Firefox and WebKit continue to be viable alternatives to Chromium.

This is childish and counterproductive. If companies are complying with the terms of the license it has been released under, they aren’t doing anything morally or legally wrong. If you want companies to pay for your software, place it unde

It’s not a huge deal on its own but it’s part of the overall “user friendly” nature of the card as a whole. Having the whole balance be due at the end of the month just makes it easier for me to use it as my “daily driver” rewards credit c

In theory what you’re saying is true, but in practice if someone gains access to a machine on your network it becomes significantly easier to gain access to additional machines on your network.

I never heard it called caveman debugging before but I love the name. I am a huge fan of print debugging. Debuggers have their place, but most of the time print is just easier and it fits better into my mental model.
