The biggest problem I have had since I switched my parents to Mac is just my brother in-law who lives with them and regularly loudly proclaim about Macs being a waste of money. He’s installed “virus scanners” multiple times that were themse

There's not a lot of physical space for it, but I have wondered aloud before if the Switch cartridge slot could be used for enhancements?

We were for a time a small company, and we broke off to become an even smaller company. I had a pretty big (perhaps oversized) say in the way things worked, UI, UX, architecture, and had the power to affect and stop decisions I thought woul

I spent a couple days with Syncthing. The UX and general process of setup / adding devices is one of the most inscrutable things I’ve ever done. I have been using computers since the early 90s, and I have not had an experience like tha

Someone in a SOC2 meeting started making a fuss about us needing virus scanners on our Amazon Linux EC2 instances. I don’t think that got very far but… Just… Stop.

In around the year 2000 I had an essay due that day I had forgotten, and about ten minutes of computer lab time before home room in the morning. I wrote an introduction and conclusion; then filled the remainder with copy pasted chunks of th

I am genuinely surprised tagging never got more traction in the native FS space. I use MacOS's tagging pretty extensively and Dropbox at least keeps them in sync, a lot of other services lose them.

So he wasn’t fired because he donated, he was fired because he refused to apologize and presumably lie and say it was a mistake? That’s the same thing with more steps.

Probably an unimportant detail, but the "weights today" are strangely low and seemingly unrepresentative of the general US population. A VERY strangely high percentage between 90lbs and 120lbs, and very few over 200lbs.

For what it's worth, it's possible I somehow typo'd it. I was on mobile, still in bed and using swype to type... But it smelled very suspicious at the time

I used to have NPR on in my car basically all the time since I started driving in the early aughts. I am in no way a Trump supporter but the way the tone shifted into vitriolic acid spitting after his election, I just can’t abide or frankly

Starting in the early aughts and extending into the release of the Wiimote there were a handful of projects like this, largely for Mac. Never amounted to much more than a proof of concept most of the time but I always found the concept exci

It’s been a long time since I have used Kate. I see it is stealing design elements from VSCode just like JetBrains UIs decided to. That really disappoints me. I really don’t get the point of doing so. If I wanted to use VSCode, I’d use VSCo

This is frankly pretty interesting. My wife has a CPAP, and after several months of absolutely dreading sleep she decided that she hated it so badly she’d rather suffer the consequences than live with the machine.

Can someone explain what this is and when I would use it in layman’s terms? I understand it’s a fuse filesystem but don’t understand quite what it does?
