I'd hate to be an early adopter for gloves that presumably stimulate nerves in your fingers with electricity or something.

I think the "often" is more that they often will waive repair fees for people, not that they've personally needed a single device repaired often. Not that Apple doesn't have issues, but they do tend to be on the low side

Not sure why you would expect any sort of physical media. These types of consoles are purely intended as emulation-based impulse buys. They're meant to go from box to playing on a modern TV with extremely minimal setup, not provide a w

They do say "not entirely", implying that it can be used for some manipulation. Specifically, manipulation in the form of "cognitive bias in people's behaviors". I imagine I couldn't manipulate someone into b

It can be taken too far, but generally, if you paid for their device and you're legally responsible for their well-being and things they do on the internet, then I don't see the issue. Combine this with the fact that the kid doesn

That's pretty clearly the reason, but helps us nonetheless.

For me, there was a huge difference between generations of the butterfly switches. The first gen felt like typing on a flat surface for me, whereas the newer ones feel really nice to type on.

I completely agree with you. I think my original wording came off as more harsh than I intended. I was definitely thinking about cheatsheets solely in the context of handing them off to beginners (I am biased towards this since I end up tea

This is close to what I'm wanting. The problem with this is that it doesn't have anywhere near enough supported commands. Even just basic ones like "git add" don't seem to be included. I think that just makes things

Like I said, I think it's a step in the right direction. It provides a bit more guidance than a typical cheatsheet, but I'd still consider it mainly a cheatsheet. It doesn't really show how data moves around the different par

I understand why everyone wants git cheatsheets (there are a lot of commands), but I have yet to see a cheatsheet/etc that does little more than become a crutch. For better or for worse, git really demands that you learn the concepts a

Aliasing 'gg' to that would actually be pretty good. Unless you really need git gui.

"git checkout -" is even better if you alias "checkout" to "co" since it just becomes "git co -". Stash has to be my favorite (especially with "-u" AKA "include untracked"). I&#x27

You can configure what Spotlight indexes. I turn off a lot of it so that it doesn't suddenly use a bunch of CPU indexing things that I don't care about. System Preferences > Spotlight > Search Results

Recently made this argument to someone. They open vi/m just to immediately jump into insert mode and never leave. I love using vim and would encourage anyone to go through vimtutor and start learning it, but if you're just not int

I used dmenu as my main application launcher for a few years. I switched to Mac a few years ago and still miss dmenu and dwm (or just tiling window managers, in general). Could just be rose-tinted glasses, however. Anyone who hasn't se

If you have a "zero inbox" type approach, I find Mail.app to be serviceable, but to each their own. There are a few others to try. I used Airmail a few years ago. However, be on the lookout for "native" email clients tha

30k USD per semester is on the high side. There are plenty of state schools that have in-state tuition that ends up being about 30k USD for all 4 years. Not everyone is lucky enough to live in a state with a good one, however.

Is that due to the layout itself or the fact that you are a) probably spending more time practicing (or at least focusing on improving) and b) unlearning bad habits you may have had when typing QWERTY? Everybody is different, but there are

I think part of the issue is inequity. I don't have the requisite skills to even begin to do the calculations, but I expect that Google is getting way more (monetary) value out of me than I am getting out of their recommendations. Espe

That does not include Google's services and only includes a handful of sites. I also see nothing about not still collecting information about you. It appears to just remove showing you some ads.

What would be better is the ability to pay for Google not to sell your data. However, the new problem would be making sure they aren't selling your data, anyway.
