Debian still feels like home. Unless I try a BSD or something without systemd I think this is probably where I'll end up.

I use my work machine for work and my personal equipment for everything else. My iPhone is more standalone then they used to be. I don't see any reason why I'd ever connect my personal phone to my work computer. So I don't se

TIL. But yes, for me, not having Windows installed is the primary advantage of any non-Windows OS.

I used Arch on a server once (still running) but found the experience on Debian was more to my taste, and somehow never liked pacman. Maybe it's time to take another look. I never tried it on the desktop.

Fascinating, not surprising.

For reasons of personal prejudice, I'll never install any Windows version on any hardware I own. Debian was always my first choice back in the desktop linux days, and still is for servers, but I haven't looked at the landscape rec

There's a lot more non-determinism in a modern MacOS install than you imagine. "WFM" doesn't invalidate the anecdote to which you reply. TFA is about putting network requests in system calls ffs.

I also upgraded days ago, assuming they would have had time to fix the bugs. However, I can say the USB-C external screen flicker was plaguing me before the upgrade and hasn't gotten worse. Turning off hot corners, oddly, helped, altho

It looks like my time with MacOS is rapidly coming to an end. Any Linux distro recommendations these days?

TikTok is fun. If you're not on it, it's hard to understand.

Then you are not "forced to shell out money" in such a case, yes?

Therefore, by induction, infinite subscription services at $25/year can find customers! Convenient for pitching to VCs no doubt, and how fortunate for us that no-one ever wants to travel to America from anywhere else, because that

Maybe a relative gets sick in a foreign country and you'd like to see them? Maybe you can't afford health care and you just get sick and die if you're in a first world democracy with American-class health care, or if you&#x27

Yes, "fake" implies lying and fraud, and not just manufacturing defects. It's an important distinction.

If the consumer isn't lied to about the product, it's not a fake, even if the quality is bad.

Deno is a new thing. It's not node, and not having the entire npm ecosystem already around it can be seen as a blessing. By the way a new http server doesn't "support" deno any more than Express "supports" node

You seem to be confused about how typical C/C++ projects are built. If you need globally installed dependencies, you're going to have to install them yourself. A typical makefile is not going to download a long list of random junk

The word "dissected" is doing a lot of work there. "Any" makes it, arguably, hyperbolic. Obviously we can't take too literally any statement about a field being alive or dead. Research is alive in these fields b

Of course. But thinking belongs to the practitioner, the point is that you have to do it and not just study the doing of it. You acquire a mental model by doing the things that lead to having that mental model, not by reading about the mode

Any field of knowledge that has been dissected into a taxonomy must be dead. On the other hand, the taxonomy can give you words for what you already know, so it is not entirely useless.
