I really like this, and I think others will too. Please be judicious with feature requests - so far the simplicity and ease of use is what I like most about it!

I did - I had a Macbook air on and off on the side, but Windows was home base for 30 years. I ditched Windows for good when 11 came around, it has become untenable.

LG 24" 4k monitors are like $350 - might be worth a try. I have two with my M3 Pro and they look fantastic - sharp text, good color and viewing angles.

Maybe faster... but I've met very few developers that are good DBAs (that understand procedures, cursors, permissions etc.) Database schema versioning / consistency is a whole other level of pain too.

I see so many new $80k trucks in my area that people can’t possibly afford. They’re the last people that would ride a bike or vote to improve infrastructure like that, unfortunately.

And now those unfortunate to be both unattractive and athletic, have quickly dwindling opportunities with the increasing cost of college and advances in AI and automation. The intelligent, introverted, artistic are ducked.

I was totally surprised how many people I had met in those first classes, who had no programming experience whatsoever and were surprised by the amount of math in the curriculum - they were for sure chasing a trend. I think my class was the

If I remember correctly, there were 600 CS freshmen in 2000 at Virginia Tech, only ~60 of us were left by graduation, I think largely because of people evaluating their prospects after the crash (and computer science is hard).

As someone who has had a large project go from TypeScript -> TS/JsDoc -> back to TypeScript... I was NOT a fan of trying to use JsDoc for types.

Tony Robbins talks a lot about this. I'm not one for self help books but it really does affect your ability to affect change.

Well I think the author makes a good point - the flat finish looks a lot better with more interesting colors (and more gloss). The abundance of de-saturated blues and green will age like milk.

Which is funny, because after 2008 it felt like a lot of the bedroom communities / strip malls struggled and went down hill (lack of demand I guess) - and it felt like a whole wave of young people were only wanting to live in the city.

I do feel like MacOS has done a better job of continuity - they change the system preference tool one time, Microsoft has done it like 4 times. Microsoft messed with the Start menu nearly every release, most people would still be fine with

Same, and DOS before it. I've always been a Microsoft fan, but I'm a bit tired now. Apple silicon is a killer feature and I'm finding it hard to justify not moving wholesale to it (I'm dual wielding right now).

I did Windows Me, Vista and 8 already, I can't put myself through another cycle. MacOS it is!

They made 3-wheelers illegal, Onewheels seem not much safer.

Interestingly enough I picked RabbitMQ for the same reasons for a distributed execution system I designed at work. RabbitMQ provides a lot of nice to have features and flexibility when it comes to delivering messages between endpoints. The

Yes, there is an atomic test / mitre attack technique exactly for this. The lame part is the attack executes successfully on stock windows 10/11. Its one of the top threats of 2021/2022. https://github.com/red

There are some really affordable Maruman spiral notebooks that I like to use, much better than any office depot stuff, and more practical than Rhodia and other fancy brands. https://www.jetpens.com/Maruman-Spiral-Note-Basic-
