You are right that it is harder those days to find good quality content on YouTube. Most of the content you get presented is just click bait and optimised for monetarisation. However, the real issue here is the assumption that people need A

Congratulations. Zas looks very cool, I will definitely try it out and see if it can fill the (large) gap between Visual Studio Code and a full-featured IDE like Goland or CLion for me. Can you please give an outlook in which direction you

Since a few people already have mentioned Rectangle for Window management, I wanted to point out that there is also a payed version of it called Hookshot ( https://hookshot.app/ ). The same developer also offers a great app c

As much as I would like to get one of those M1 Macs, this is exactly the reason why I will wait for the 2nd generation of their processors. My Intel MacBook runs rock solid and stable. Until the ARM Macs haven't reached that level of s

Personally I don’t see a scenario for myself, but I can imagine that there are some where this might be useful. But isn’t there a extremely high risk of data loss an inconsistency when adding an extra layer on top of OS file system handling

Also using Firefox for years as my main browser. Can't complain. Never really considered switching, since there is no real alternative for me in today's browser market (especially in terms of privacy).

Perhaps I have misunderstood something, but the Docker engine remains free and open source. What annoys me is that they treat Windows & macOS users differently than Linux users. Linux Desktop users this doesn't impact at all. I hav

I purchased Factorio recently because this game looks amazing. Anyway I couldn’t manage to really get into the game because it’s just overwhelming. Can someone recommend any good tutorials or guides to get into it so I can start building my

Idea behind Rga is cool. Anyway, I tried it on Mac and installed via Homebrew. The formula already says it depends on ripgrep (that's fine since I have ripgrep already installed and use it regularly). I still was surprised when I execu

What’s wrong with Go‘s GC. I think it’s actually pretty fast and gets better with each release.

I never used Brave myself. The problem I see with Brave is is their business model being counterproductive for the web. If I understood correct, they block ads placed by the the content creators, just to replace them with their own monetiza

OK, but it's not Firefox's fault if web developers don't stick to standards and use Chromium-specific features. The bad thing is, the less people using Firefox, the harder this problem becomes and Chrome defines the de-facto
