   I almost never want to move to an arbitrary window. Most of the time I have 2 or 3 windows which I cycle between. 23 years ago, Windows allowed me to do this in 1 or 2 clicks without looking. Now it's either a lot of clicks and observa

   The problem is that there is no combined shortcut for both. Let's say I'm focused on my terminal, and I want to focus on the Firefox window that's besides me. The shortcut is Alt-tab Alt-~, but after doing the first key: 1. A

   I don't mind any of those problems and I map my escape to caps lock. I moved from Linux to a Mac for work a while ago, and I can't stand how terrible the dock and window system is. * Alt-tab is useless. It has no way to choose a p

   I just remap Caps Lock to escape. You can do it now in the vanilla MacOS settings.

   I can't believe that there isn't a simple service to transfer data between my cellphone and my computer without going through the internet. iTunes is terribly bloated, MTP is a mess, and Bluetooth is slow and frustrating. Back in

   I avoid booking.com because I loathe the asshole design patterns in their platform. I like booking my hotels without "<blink>get this room now without thinking or you'll miss it!</blink>" flashing everywhere.

   Is this per 100,000 deaths? In that case, wouldn't lower rates of traffic accidents and lung cancer contribute to higher relative deaths of drug-related deaths?

    Language theory and lambda calculus classes were some of my favourite in college. I wonder how many serious bugs would be averted if programming languages came with more complete type systems.

    Keepass is amazing. I use Keepass2Android to keep a local file in my cellphone, and occasionally back up the encrypted file to my Google Drive.

    I don't know what you are talking about: my new Samsung phone with USB-C connects perfectly to my Macbook :P Still, I wonder why Apple hasn't changed the connector from the iPhone to USB-C when it seems like the obvious choice. Ma

    That don't work since you need to use `partial` on `mul`. I'm a big fan of the way Haskell manages operators and partial application. double :: Num a => a -> a double = (2 *)

    This is the CS equivalent of "maths are useless since I'll never use them in real life". Even if you are a software engineer who works exclusively on Javascript you need to understand the basic of how things work.

    The other killer feature is finer control for volume and brightness, specially when you figure out that it's not necessary to move your finger to the slider after pressing the keys from the TouchBar. If Apple decided to remove the giga

    You lose your personal allowance half a percentage point for every pound you earn over £100k. People who earn £125k get 0 of the basic rate. The fun thing is that total marginal income tax between those two numbers is 60% without counting n

    Ed Sheeran is a person and is taxed differently than a company. That article is manipulative clickbait. UK Amazon executives pay more taxes than Ed Sheeran.

    The point is that the average person doesn't get $28000 a year. A landlord won't raise the rent of the author just because he has more money.

    The author used the touch bar for two years and didn't think of removing the Siri button he accidentally clicked so much, or of adding volume controls to the expanded touch strip. This review is worthless.

    Is that true in all of Poland though? Many people find Trump repulsive, and they will agree with most of their peers if they move to a big city in a blue state.

    There's a nice Haskell library for dealing with combinators, where the types of most functions are intuitive enough to understand what they do: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/data-aviary-0.4.0/docs/Da

    The minimum wage in San Francisco is $15 per hour. That's including tipped work: if you don't make that amount from wages and tips you're supposed to be paid extra.
