I've used Apollo when I was on iOS. It's indeed great. But holy hell, you must have spent exactly 0 time with Android clients, or just don't enjoy Android apps in general, cause I'd easily put Sync and Boost on equal foo

On iOS Apollo and Narwhal were both good options last I tried them. Android has a lot more going on. All of Infinity, Joey, Sync (my choice), RiF, Boost and Now are pretty solid. Pretty reductive indeed to say Apollo is the only serious con

All great advice to make the best of a shitty situation. My comment was more about how tired I'm getting of that same age old "it's better for everyone this way!i!" BS line that doesn't help anyone. The situation is

Again, you're assuming quite a whole lot, and ignoring just as much. The 150k people I mentioned were laid off just this year all were obviously not all high compensation/high severance package people[0]. > 1 in 3 laid-off work

I used iTerm on a 2011 iMac with 6GB of mismatched RAM until 2018 at work, and a crappy 2012 MBP with 4GB RAM (subsequently upgraded to 8GB) from 2012-2016 without issue. This is not normal at all lol

Kind of missing the forest for the trees here. But okay, let's play that game. The 21k employees they laid off were _all_ high comp workers, really? The 150k employees that got laid off since the beginning of the year, just in tech? Th

Completely obliviating the "human" part of what an employee is, reducing it down to a mere number on a balance sheet, will never sit right with me. In the end, what those companies are ultimately taking a risk on is people's

I know it's not fundamentally that different from the running arbitrary code we have right now, but something about the idea of indiscriminately running binaries invisibly downloaded over the WWW rubs me the wrong way. Edit: read the f

The perverse side-effect is that smaller towns are getting expensive as hell too as more and more people don't care about staying in the city. Things raised ~30% in the last 5 years in my area, in a medium-sized agricultural town some

I'm not sure I understand what's inherently contraining about using different keys to do the same things.

1 to 6 months still seems quite extreme. My problem wasn't particularly urgent either...

I see. I'm not nearly qualified enough to talk about that, admittedly. Drawing the pixels isn't the problem, it's updating them fast enough, then?

I understand, but without some kind of direct rendering going on, I can't see how this would work on a terminal emulator.

Is iTerm2 GPU accelerated? Wasn't aware it could do that kind of thing. I didn't use it in years, admittedly, haven't had a Mac for a while.

Anecdotally, about half the frontend bugs that I see go through our JIRA at work seem Safari/iOS specific lol

Whenever I look at the frontend QA loop vs. the backend at the places I've worked at, I'm glad I work in machine readable, typed, easier to test API land.

Yeah, I kind of figured that out as you responded - see my other comment hehe. For what it's worth, Merriam Webster seems to agree that the distinction is basically arbitrary, and OED has the more general definition first lol

TDP -> tardigrade-specific intrinsically disordered protein Most people would agree that this is an acronym - although some purists may prefer "initialism" as it's not pronounced as a word. At least, Merriam Webster seems

I did audibly chuckle at this one. Good job, doesn't happen to me often online!

I actually did not, for some reason. I was on a bunch of phpBB forums in high school, but none surrounding programming/tech. I was obsessed with music and gaming way more than IT stuff, back then. I initially learned programming more a

Reading these comments about people relying on SO - a site founded in 2008 - at age 11, doesn't make me feel any younger, and I'm not even that old (inching closer and closer to my mid-30s). I got into Linux and bash/Python s

I think OP's point was that GitHub=Microsoft, so you're effectively sending your code to Microsoft in one way or another. Although the licensing/privacy policies are probably different for private repositories.

Just chiming in with another option. May have been cause they are Montreal based, but back when I still lived there and regularly used public transport, Transit[1] was my favorite. [1] https://transitapp.com/

That could be said of any free container registry out there...

Black n' red notebooks have been mine for a while now. Works just fine without bleeding through even with some thicker lines.
