Speaking of browsability, Google Images by far outshines the majority of webshops in search relevancy, SNR ratio, results per page and speed.

That will be the time we switch from ad-blockers to content-allowers. It can already be seen with distraction free modes. Maybe there is a market for a proxy that converts any page you visit to bare and functional HTML with just content and

I found out that following programming related comics like this or blogs like DBAreactions are a great way to learn about a certain domain. Because if you don't get the joke you are missing some kind of ubiquitous knowledge about the d

I agree. I once put down an audiobook (Xenocide or Children of the mind, don't remember which one) because I couldn't stand one of the voice actors. She did a Japanese accent so overdone, it was so bad that I just skipped all thos

I was afraid of having to go that path when Apple would continue with their direction in pro hardware. I was only allowed to use a Linux laptop (Dell) in my previous job and even with how customizable Linux is I just could never get comfort

I do however touch the volume, brightness and media controls all the time. The touchbar really makes these hard to quick press without looking (or tapping twice in some cases).

When I was in the market for the 2019 model (bought a second hand 2015 instead) I tried the touchbar and really liked what it offered in terms of context aware controls. But I quickly realised I could never incorporate it into my workflow s

I wouldn't. Maybe on pure specs, yes. But there is just no substitute for me for the trackpads Apple builds into their laptops. And the overall quality and longevity of the devices. I've only bought/got a new Apple device bec

It's actually the other way around. You'd have to disable the Turbo to play the games. Because they where synchronized to the slower cpu clock frequency. For your spreadsheets you would use Turbo. Marketingwise it mirght make more

I disagree. Git is complex solution to a complex problem (collaborative code management), so it's understandable there are complexities in mastering Git. However the UI of Git just doesn't make sense in some area's, especiall

Very true. But the word processor example is a little scewed. It depends on the audience and the value they want to get from the tool, take Latex for example which is widely used writing scripts, being far away from WYSIWYG. Have a look at

Try Gitless[0]. It's an alternative 'UI' to Git which is kind of build top down instead of bottom up. The commands are much higher in the abstraction tree and clear single operations and dropping some concepts like the stagin

Same can be said for wrapping yourself in bubblewrap every morning. It all depends on the situation and the risk you expect to encounter. To be clear, I'm not in doubt of the safety superiority of motorcycle helmets when riding a bike.

by aequitas 7y ago
I can't think of an example but there might be situations where a motorcycle helmet would increase your injury because it is harder to remove. Reminds me of the footwear worn at a glass factory I once visited. The glassblowers there wo

This is why I love macOS. Every application has the menubar at the top with everything in the right place. Apple's design guidelines also dictate that every action should be available as menu item. Preferences can always be summoned us

But for me that beats the purpose. You still end up with the complexity. Only now you have to add and manage it yourself in some other way, probably being worse off then when you would have started with all that complexity but integrated in

A simple solution is often worthless if the underlying problem is complex. It's nice this project foregoes on complex things like pam, systemd, gettext, etc. But these things are often created to solve problems. Problems this 'sim
