I'm in the same boat. Got a second hand 2015 model like new because of screen and topcase repair program. At work I'm forced to use a Dell with Linux. I like that I can configure everything about Linux to reduce the difference to

Indeed, I always get the feeling you need some sort of exit strategy to a traditional model for when your service starts lifting of. Never did the cost calculations though.

I've been using Terraform ( https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/tls/index.html ) lately for local CA's like my homelab. It's nice when you want to keep everything in configuration management.

This is mainly my reason for using it as well. It's hard to describe but other editors just don't feel at home on the mac for me. Small things like how the cursor navigates across the document and the modifier keys to select parts

Even as a engineer I don't want to spend that. At work we got Dell laptops and I'm happy we can run Linux so at least I can customise it to feel more like I'm used to with my Mac (eg: sane shortcuts like cmd-c, that don'

+1 on that. Especially since the force touch. I've been using Macbooks for 10 years now and just don't understand why other trackpads just don't work flawlessly. For me other trackpads feel like the difference with smartphone

Funny how big names like Alexander, Caesar, Atilla, Napoleon and Hitler seem to fly by in an instant compared to the vast timespan of almost 2,5 millenea. Most of the other names don't even ring a bell and seem to have ruled longer. Ot

But then that recycled material can not fill other demand for material so eventually you end up mining more nontheless. Also recycling itself it not free, depending on the quality you need you need to put in energy and resources (chemicals)

Just as free as free shipping, at the end of the day you pay for it someway, like (higher) banking fees, cost for (extra) card, reduced interest rates, etc.

I for one really like this rename for search reasons. Now it is a single unambiguous word: macos. Where before people used the variations: osx, os x, mac os x. Depending on how smart the search engine was you would either get to few or to

I agree with tkubacki, touchpads on macbooks are a primary reason for wanting a mac. For me the most important is the basic function of putting the cursor where I want it. It's hard to explain, but on other laptops I always struggle wi

I started naming branches 'post-its', as to me that's what they are, labels you place on the real 'branches' (the commit tree). You can take them of easily, move them, discard them, whatever you want. They are just

Don't navigation systems 'snap' to the most probable lane you are driving in based on general direction instead of your exact GPS coordinates? A good example of this I think is when driving in tunnels, there is no GPS info th

Second that, I love tig as a history browser. However for Git tree manipulation I find it a little disappointing. A lot can be customised with shortcuts, but it feels a little cumbersome and you need to restart for some changes to be visibl

Understanding that in git 'branches' are not really the branches but merely post-its that can trivially moved between the 'real' branches on the tree of commits really opened my eyes. Along with the use of visual tools l
