Speaker notes seem to need an extra step; start an additional terminal on the laptop screen (not the presented screen), then start the speaker notes instance via a terminal command. PowerPoint understands the difference between your own lap

Fantastic... seriously, kudos. I love it when people use up every last ounce of their hardware.

I had someone tell me "an Air? You're a developer, you need a Pro" and I thought to myself, well this Air is frankly amazing.

Mid-2014 MBP, that's amazing. Did you buy it new? And actually used it since 2014?

I get that it's unclear. But in practice, this only matters upon purchase, and then it's simply an option whether you want one, or not.

What I encountered with smartwatches like the Xiaomi Mi Band, is that they display notifications but their font has a tiny subset of emoji. So when friend send a simple "thumbs up", it displays the Unicode replacement character. H

It was technically correct.

Genuinly curious: it seems like you are making a remark on his character, right? But why did you do so? Just fed up? Or did he actually state something wrong in the parent comment?

You are right, but in Summmer, if you sit in close to the window, more nits is very nice.

Refreshing to be reminded of a relatively simple alternative to websockets. For a short time, I worked at a now-defunct startup which had made the decision for websockets. It was an app that would often be used on holiday so testing was don

iOS devices share a clipboard with macOS. It would be cool if that could be implemented on Linux.

Yeah, I don't get all this fuss. I mean, if you block ads then do you think Chrome will also stop reporting to the mothership? Of course not. Use Firefox and simple be done with all this hoohah.

Such an awesome article. I like how they didn't just go with the Cloud wave but kept sysadmin'ing, like ol' Unix graybeards. Two interesting things they wrote about their SSDs: 1) "At this rate, we’ll replace these [SSD]

Goshdarn I love this post. I enjoyed my morning coffee while looking at the calculations, and the description of the debugging mode. It's a clever usage of native components. Currently my experience is with SwiftUI and it's almost

That's a very good point, and I don't like it.

It's just a bad idea. I got caught up in a situation where one company sold me a solar installation, then a subcontractor installed and configured it. Apparently they got into a spat about money, because the subcontractor told me to pa

This. Big chance you'll lose all of your friends, and family ties will suffer greatly. One of my friends moved from Europe to Australia. I think I'm the only one that visited him.

You'd say someone would build an API to retrieve that information by city. But I would not be surprised that the product seller can't be bothered inserting that information into their sales flow.

https://archive.ph/9oIT4 I wish it would have adjusted for inflation. One quote: "The average transaction price for a new vehicle sold in the U.S. last month was $48,623, according to Kelley Blue Book, roughly $10,000

IMHO, not all good. In this style guide, the person says to "SELECT, FROM, etc. are all right aligned while the actual column names and implementation-specific details are left aligned." Seems like a lot of work to me. And I don&#

I don't know about SwiftData, but my experience with SwiftUI is great. I've put a EU-sized project into production and it wasn't a problem at all. In my experience, the trick is making small tested and working views, and comb

I'd say half of my first-year CS students don't know how to create a folder with files, at the start of the school year. To me, it's nuts. But on the other hand, lots of students are very curious and come to learn. You can&#x

Don't do this. A friend did this to me, and after listening to it, I suddenly realized it was AI vomit. My friend wasted an hour of my attention, and I didn't appreciate it.

But _why_ are you glad to see Meta pushing towards AR? Genuine question.

Did you mistype or are you actually somehow using a 57 inch monitor? If really 57”, are these multiple separate screens? I went up from 32 to 40 and regret it, to be honest. It’s m nice for Xcode, but for any other use, it’s too big for me.
