Isn’t “hobbyist” the exact word you’re looking for?

I know this is a discussion of Unix in general, but on your own Mac, you can get `trash` packages for the terminal [0] [1]. I use the former, I haven’t tried the latter. But afaict, they should be pretty much identical – they both supply `t

Figure space to be specific (U+2007 or &numsp). A plain space like in your million will break across lines. (And yes, that’s even more of a pain on a phone.)

Since there’s no “jet” in your 3D printer from an engineering perspective, arguably you shouldn’t. That would be extrusion (and Prusa correctly refers to it as such). “Inkjet 3D printing” exists, but it’s something quite different: https:&

Thank you for making this point. A lot of the comments here read like a hobbyist programmer saying “C++ is dead, I haven’t written any C++ in my projects for years and since I’ve switched to Rust, I’ve never looked back”. Yes, I stand by th

In current iOS, all apps can be deleted except seven: Settings, Phone, Messages, Camera, Photos, Safari and App Store. All apps can be removed from the home screen.

Exactly. In the EU alone, gross average income ranges around 5-fold from the lowest to the highest value. (1100€ in Bulgaria, 5400€ in Netherlands) Including non-EU countries as well makes the difference even more extreme (7000€ in Switzerl

There’s only two scaling factors macOS can display at: 1x or 2x. Anything in-between is rendering at a larger resolution and scaling it back down for the display, resulting in a non-pixel-perfect image. Your shop Mac is rendering the UI at

The rest of that paragraph from iFixit: > the iPhone 15 Pro Max held 1 foot away is 94 average PPD. Even though the pixel density and physical dimensions are drastically different between the iPhone and the 65” TV, they end up having sim

Does it still block ads? I happily used Vinegar before, but it lost that functionality when YouTube’s crusade against ad blockers began (I don’t recall if it just let the ads through, or if it triggered the “Ad Blocker Detected” pop-up). Wi

This solution is far from compact though, right? If you show it at all times, it takes space and adds clutter. If you hide it behind a menu, it adds extra clicks. If this was meant (semi)ironically and mainly as a reference to the OP link,

Current iPhones are available with up to 1 TB of storage. I’d argue that whoever would even think about downloading all of Wikipedia on their phone is a particular type of user and their choice storage will be on the northern side.

In a lot of countries, drinking wine is fine (as in legal) at ANY age. It's the purchase that is so often regulated. (And you're right, in many places the latter limit is lower than 18. For example in Germany, Austria, Switzer

I have to add two adjacent subtitle-related stupidities on Netflix: 1. Closed captions (CC). Okay, I'm willing to accept they improve the experience of a show / movie for a non-zero number of people. What I absolutely don't

And last but not least iMacs, Mac minis, Mac Studios and Mac Pros. The word "Mac" encompasses all of those, just fyi.

The messed up incentives of… Seeking as much attention as possible, which is as old as media itself and arguably the very purpose of its existence. Yeah, I guess you’re right. But then again, I’m afraid there’s bigger evils to fight in this

The grizzlies are mentioned in passive voice, which by definition makes a subject acted on (rather than the acting one) in a sentence. While I see what you’re getting at from a human reader standpoint, in reality the reason for this phras

I agree with your first paragraph but not the second. What frustrates me is any sort of override of my keyboard keys – 100% of the time when I press backspace, I intend to delete one (1) character behind the blinking cursor. Not a whole

What does this mean, "WebKit based too"? WebKit is primarily developed by Apple, Safari is the canonical browser that uses it. It is actually Google's Blink that split off of WebKit, not the other way around.

That might have been their philosophy once, but important people who believed that seem to be gone now, because basically every piece of software that gets touched on the Mac now resembles an unloved offspring of their touch platforms. See
