Each program in Windows does not live with all its needs in its own folder though. Some store some of their stuff in the installation directory, others in AppData, others in ProgramData, others in the User's home folder (C:/<us

I go for a walk for an hour at twilight daily (currently that's about 4:30PM where I live).

LaTeX is terrible for writing in flow though per my understanding. Too much markup language.

KDE has a global menu applet on their panel as well, to be used in conjunction with appmenu-gtk. KWin will also let you set how much (or how little) window decorations you want if at all. I'm very happy with it.

For tiling, Krohnkite[1] is what I use. It integrates with KWin wonderfully, provides a ton of layouts and entries in the default system shortcut settings to set keybindings. For those more graphically oriented, there is also Bismuth[2] whi

On X11 it's pretty solid. Wayland still has kinks.

as far as I know, the web client doesn't let you control someone else's desktop when they are sharing their screen. which is something I do regularly.

Never been able to try Koss headphones because of their unavailability (or availability at a near 100% markup) where I live, but they come highly recommended by the community from what I understand. Will grab a pair of KPH30i's when I

Nudity is a state. There is nothing objectionable about it. Do you think it only exists for titillation? Considering the topic in question is that of the corpse of the author's mother, that's a hell of a stretch.

Every book is about something. The fact that this is historical is a bonus if anything.

The thesis is fine, whatever, but do they actually prescribe a solution here? What can someone do to "design for a long lifetime"? What does a website that is "designed for a long lifetime" look like? This all very hypot

Voice control tech is still very patchy, especially if you have an accent or a speech defect, or if it is not capable of handling colloquialisms or you calling a feature by a different name as intended. All of these things are common enough

Haha, that's fair. But also, is this the case in 99% of "modal" text editors? Because that's why these things are the way they are in vim. There's nothing different about the modality of operation of a Tesla. You co

Genuine question, what value do you think this brings to the world? I'm not asking if it makes money, I'm glad for you if it does. I'd just like to know what motivates people to make these things.

When's the last time Rogan has eaten anyone alive though? No matter how incredulous or inconsistent their views, he seems quite satisfied to have a good time chatting them up about nothing in particular.

No, I don't consider it a particularly great use of my time, but I'm fine with that. It's my time and I don't always have to be productive or making money with it. The content and discussion is usually entertaining, but

Wordpress is still pretty good if you just want to get going and concern yourself only with content. I personally use a static site generator (zola) to keep hosting costs down (netlify is free), and I like tinkering with code. A lot of them

My distraction-free Markdown editor is vim. No UI clutter, not an electron app, loads ginormous files super quickly, is powerful when you need it to be and simple when you don't. I use Goyo for the minor convenience of limiting the col

VSCodium. Why? I work in Angular, and almost nothing handles typescript as well as VSCode. When I'm working in Java, I use Eclipse. It's very powerful and fairly comfortable. IntelliJ looks nice but i don't feel like I have a

I have a single text file, structured by category. Individual items within categories are loosely ordered by the amount of time I estimate they will take, but if a task that might take longer has a higher priority, it would still go above a

Maybe not on the landing page, but there's a large button saying "Learn More about the Kakoune philosophy" that leads to this page [1] that mentions vim 5 times and vi 11 times, including: "It first started as a reimplem

I'm enjoying Angular development too, although the Angular Material library is... not great. Lots of corner cases that just don't get enough attention.

W3Schools, TutorialsPoint and GeeksForGeeks tend to be low quality and have better alternatives, but I do quite like Baeldung's Java articles.

I tend to agree, but the E2EE part can only be verified if their clients are not proprietary. The SaaS part isn't a huge issue as long as there is no lock-in, as you mentioned.

I actually find reddit to be decent for reviews of customer products. So I add a "site: reddit.com" to my search string.

Google Play Services that is installed on almost every phone out of the box can, and Gboard can trivially communicate with it. So yes, it can.
