It's really good, actually. I don't think they stream 4K but for most people that barely matters (screen either too small or too far away for it to make a huge difference). They have a rotating selection of Criterion films. Heavy

> Film has such a huge library of "great movies", I have over 700 films logged on letterboxd, with a pretty decent spread of years/countries and I would say I still know basically nothing about film. Film is so full of gre

1) Yes, I know, that's how long Firefox has been going down the wrong path, performance-wise. They've only recently seemed to kinda start addressing that ("now we're as good as Chrome, finally!" OK but Chrome is a

I definitely don't consider Firefox's resource use (battery, CPU, memory) something to aim for. Pre 2.0 Firefox? Hell yes, it was part of what got everyone on it in the first place. After 2.0, when it started to bloat rapidly for

- Any health problems for anyone concerned in the first couple months (which is when it's most likely, for the mother and baby in particular, obviously) will be really, really bad, as far as making those weeks much worse than they&#x

A move to anything similar to Electron is gonna be the same to me as the project dying. In either case, I'll no longer use it. That's a shame. [EDIT] "but it's already XUL!" right but XUL-based GUI programs can run

Not only that, the screen’s super-ugly. It looks like part of some “kitchen sink” demo of UI elements. Glad it’s not just me annoyed every time I open that and am reminded how crap it is now.

My example of what? I’m not sure what you mean. As far as I can tell my example is that I only use Brew to install software for which the question “which version do I want?” may always be answered with “the latest” or “I don’t care”, so I d

GP and a sibling comment (quote: "Something as simple as "brew upgrade youtube-dl" could end upgrading dozens of _unrelated_ packages, such as postgres--which ends up breaking my local development environments.") seem to

I think I must use it differently from how other people do. I use it to install tools I'll use directly, so I practically always want those to be at latest (or otherwise don't really care what version they are). If I need somethin

Huh. I've seriously used... I dunno, maybe five Linux package managers, on workstations and servers alike, plus poked at a couple others, and the only one I'd almost rather use day-to-day than Brew is Portage, but even that, pro

I think computer geeks tend not to recall how many hard-won insights and how much time it took for them to reach the point where learning "the basics" of MS Office would only take ten hours of study & practice. We think it&#x2

Phoenix/Firebird was sold first through its incredible speed, compared to IE, plus popup blocking. The tabs were a nice bonus but the other two were the features that got all of us pushing the browser on every friend and relative who&#

Not to pile on (as the idea isn't necessarily, immediately crazy): 1) The filesystem is a surprisingly decent datastore, and, 2) Unless your write-volume is unreasonably high for a GH repo, your main problem is making sure your loc
