Almost everyone has it. I do not want to use WhatsApp, but in The Netherlands it is nearly impossible to go without it (although it seems you do ;)). E.g. the parents of our daughter's class uses a WhatsApp group. You can decide not to

If you are going to try to insert backdoors, you will come up with a way to of doing it with plausible deniability. Letting an employee post the patch own their own credentials is one way way of setting up plausible deniability.

The vast majority of people don’t ever use their computers for anything heavy, so it’s not like saving a few hundred mb of ram is going to be noticeable for them. They will definitely notice. E.g. baseline MacBooks (which is probably what

I am also an Emacs user, but please don’t be so dismissive of other people’s work. This looks like a great extension. Despite my qualms about memory use and latency, VS Code is a fully programmable editor just like Emacs, except using Javas

I lost her about 18 months ago and now I beat myself up for it. I am sorry to hear that :(. The thing with parents is that they were always there (maybe not always there for you, but I mean present in your world) since your birth. For a l

I use gpg-agent, but I agree it is often a pain. I will probably switch to U2F + SSH once more servers have OpenSSH 8.2. Do you know if this already works with GitHub?

Not too long. I also began using Emacs with spacemacs, but it was buggy and slow. Then I just started with a completely pristine Emacs configuration and just added through use-package : - evil for vi emulation - general / which-key

Thanks for the information! I haven't tried configuring VS Code through Nix yet. I guess I'll wait a while before doing another attempt.

For me it is home-manager switch and I don't only have my full Emacs configuration, but a full development environment with Rust, Go, etc. Though you could probably also configure VS Code that way.

I am not a passionate Emacs user and I strongly dislike the weird bugs that rear their heads sometimes. I was always a vim user, but switched to Emacs because it has better support for completion, etc. while having nearly perfect vi emulati

And you can get it on every distribution! You can install Nix on virtually all Linux distributions (IIRC Fedora Silverblue is the exception due to read-only /) and macOS. Of course, you will lose some benefits, such as the NixOS module

It's fairly realistic. On my Mac, I only use Homebrew for casks. I have everything else installed through Nix. One of the nicest things is that I have nearly completely overridden macOS' outdated utilities with a GNU userland (wit

Spotify made their choice to use the SDK for whatever gains they get out of it, and as a customer you can choose to not use their service or app if you disagree with that. Wrong. At least for EU citizens. If Spotify are collecting data in

Besides what pjmlp said. I was thinking of Plan 9, VMS, NT (the kernel, which takes a lot if ideas from VMS), L4. Of course, out of these, NT did succeed wildly as well did L4 (e.g. iOS secure enclave). Some improve in the architecture, som

Not being able to write complex software on a platform such as Unix or Python is therefore a feature, not a bug. Except that Python is not that. Multiple inheritance: check. Operator overloading: check. Functional programming: at least so

I hate the Touch Bar as well, and I am very happy with my 2020 Air with a fixed keyboard and no Touch Bar. But can't you just remove the icons from the Touch Bar or set it to display the Fn keys? https://www.idownloadblog.co

Signal strength would be better if you hold it in a certain way and this was true for some other phones as well. I had an iPhone 4 and never paid attention to how I held it, and it always worked perfectly fine. Maybe it's because I use

That is DDR4 (no LP). MacBook Air 2020, MacBook Pro 16", and the most expensive MacBook Pro 13" configuration use LPDDR4.

Even the last Pro will destroy the Air when it comes to something like video encoding, 3D rendering, etc. Anything that will run full-tilt for longer than 20 seconds. The new Pro 13 (except for the most expensive configuration) have 8th g

Can't say anything about Anker chargers. But I have been somewhat disappointed by their engineering. It is well known that USB 3 can cause interference in the spectrum used by WiFi and BlueTooth (2.4-5GHz), but their USB-C hubs seem to
