I like VSCode but also agree. Once you've felt the speed of native, like Sublime Text 3, especially when opening and working with a lot of files at once, it's really hard to use anything else, IMHO That said, there are use cases f

Actually, you know, I'm going to pull back on my original post a bit. I didn't realize they were using a $500+ Optane drive in here and not in some of the other systems they compared to... that does inflate the price quite a bit.

I don't know what it is about the 95, 98, 2000 era of Windows UI and aesthetics but I still strongly prefer it.

Pricing on this is ridiculous. Build your own SFF system using MiniITX and save the money.

I would think that one would typically expect NAS drives in particular not to use SMR, especially since SMR is known to be problematic in RAID setups, etc. Not to mention the write performance issues. It's so frustrating that all t

Agree! Caves of Qud is quite fun. It can be difficult, so I often turn off permadeath just so I can wander around and enjoy the crazy worlds it has to offer on each run Very neat what it has done with ASCII-style interface too

I'm finally back to Firefox for good. Feels good to be home . I keep 'Edge-ium' around if I encounter any rare use cases that necessitate it, but that's relatively rare

Another Gordon Kelly masterpiece. His articles are very sensationalist and they all fall in this same kind of "anger at computer company" template. I agree however that local search should never be so coupled with non-local search

I think things have changed some with using OpenCore now instead of the older system. It does take more initial setup but from what I've heard it's a bit more resilient when it comes to updates. I'd still be scared of an upda

It is an Electron app. A couple of simple online searches lead to that conclusion. It may be that MS still wanted to test/tweak it before packaging or releasing it for Linux

As an iMac user for years, I've lately considered the idea of either a hackintosh or just giving up on MacOS completely. I'm ready to upgrade to a new Apple desktop, and none of the options are even remotely enticing for the amoun

Disclaimer: I acknowledge that "toxic" is a loosely-defined term that can be thrown around at people that really aren't... I'm mostly meaning people that go out of their way to be negative/harmful in unnecessary wa

I will have an occasional bout of constant back pain triggered by some action (sitting down the wrong way, sleeping the wrong way, bending the wrong way) that will last 1-2 weeks, then it will go away 100% and I'll be back to normal. I

IMHO, the biggest problem SE has had this entire time and continues to have throughout all of these various issues (abrupt relicensing, community moderator firing, etc) is that there is constant zero transparency . Even the times they do r

It is likely that many people overweight are already ashamed and it helps absolutely nothing to attempt to further pile onto that negativity. Sorry, but no amount of "truth telling" in this way will come off as anything but bein

Proper and adequate sleep is also an important part of weight loss, so I find it naive to only attempt to fix the weight issue. It's a vicious catch-22 to not be able to breathe enough to sleep well enough to lose weight so that one ca

I actually find it's the reverse of this for me. I'd almost rather be forced to lose weight at this point because then I think I'd have a better chance at accomplishing it. Trust me when I say I want to lose weight but ha

Is it possible that the amount of planning and self-discipline required is maybe what is sometimes neither practical nor maintainable, depending on the individual? Having lost and gained weight multiple times, it can be a psychological he

Regardless of any of the technical aspects of this disaster, the attitude of the company and its customer service means I will be staying far away from them.

Every time I see stuff like this I'm reminded that I really should find some way to dive deeper into programming/etc in general. I would like to be knowledgeable enough to solve something like this but have no idea how to approach

Radioshack is still around, but has scaled back extremely. From thousands of operating stores to 500. Had a few in our area all close, so instead of 2-3 miles, now requires 20 miles to get to one. Effectively to some towns/cities it f

Nice! This is a great way to preview how "opinionated" these frameworks are and how subtly or drastically they affect the appearance. Even just viewing the demo was a nice way to quickly pick out favorites that I could use or drop

Agreed. I've given "new" reddit tons of chances. I've tried it out for days at a time, only to find that I was annoyed enough by the interface that I was using it MUCH less. The only reason I'm still there now is be

Yep. After trying all sorts of browsers for months at a time, I've come back home to Firefox. Despite Mozilla's occasional off-track behavior (Mr. Robot add-on, Pocket, etc) I still think they are hands-down the best option. That&

I think it's not really about the rational/analyzing part of the brain being involved here. A lot of phobias have "involuntary" reactions, so, for me, it doesn't matter that I know the picture can't hurt me- I

My skin is crawling/itching just from reading the discussion about trypophobia, and I haven't even looked at the pictures (and can't, because I definitely have the phobia). I think there are other visual phobias that maybe ar
