When I heard a new OS release actually made things load faster and uses less disk, I was shocked as I was spoiled to think every new OS release requires more hardware resource by the dumb engineering of Windows which relies on hardware impr

I always thought using a local machine is an anti pattern. There are plenty of virtualization software, one should just run the same OS as the production via VMware locally or give each person their own dev environment in the cloud with the

It's getting too old that it's showing its age badly. I'm tired of editing wiki with some original markup but WYSIWYG is the way to go. A plugin to integrate CKEditor doesn't even properly work, mobile experience is not

I always wonder what the point of running a docker version of a daemon you can easily run with OS package manager, especially for those well tested packages like databases. And then security patches are rolled out accordingly to be updated

So where do average users fit in? It's funny people are led to believe they need pro version just because. I've been using Home version since Windows ME and it's being fine.

Apple being vertically integrated with its own ecosystem versus third parties integrating it on non native CPU platform sounds like a very different level of integrity. No one can match the level of integration Apple had made on Windows and

That's for those who can't pay for RHEL subscriptions and they have such critical experiments going on that getting updates earlier than RedHat screws them up? They can surely opt out of updating automatically and only apply updat

And yet, ironically people like it better than CentOS stream? People are making such a big fuss about CentOS getting slightly closer to Fedora.

Why wouldn't MS just start a new OS like they ditched IE? They can't get rid of backward compatibilities and pretending to be moving forward with the pace of walking in snow and everything is just half way done for the past 10+ ye

On MacOS (when it was still capitalized), "I can program for the web from day 1 on Mac, cool!" probably made sense 20 years ago. I mean, it was far better than on Windows where you need to install some bundled package from a third

It's still impressive that powerful command line environment and the best GUI are offered in a same OS. Usually it's one or the other.

You haven't answered why IRC still matters. The only benefit you mentioned to sticking to IRC is that people are forced to have no voice communication but you can always opt out of voice communication yourself. As for the rest, they wo

Well, it has been well over a decade after competitions have become common and if people can't change the habit for the better, stuck in an ancient tech, not sure what to say. No voice, no proper file transfer and can't even see m

Suppose SEC doesn't like Tether to be breathing before ETF is approved? It would be hilarious if Tether took down all investors through ETF and SEC will be painted for irresponsibility.

Wasn't ripgrep one of the first inspirations for others to initiate "rewrite existing tools with rust with better usability and performance" wave? Either way, thanks for a quality tool, more, if it inspired others to come up

Changelogs become good when one knows what they're doing. If not, one cannot convincingly tell what the changes are actually for to other people and the changelogs get vague or omitted of details.

It will be hard for people to complain how proprietary services can't be trusted when they can change terms and might pull the plug but apparently that's less of a concern when an open platform imploded so badly.

What is the reason to pick IRC? It's technically far inferior to anything including the ones you can self host. I don't understand why people don't migrate even if it means they don't like commercial alternatives like Di

I suppose you can't check for backup data integrity inside Glacier.

If you think it's just adding up similar tools, you're pretty wrong. I've only used kopia briefly and it had a bug where I couldn't simply read files from its GUI, so I'd take it it's still doing basic implemen

Quite back then in a personal project, when putting error logs, I also mandated to put what the fix is along with the error message in error log functions. I suppose no one does it.

Maybe figure out why none of the cloud providers provide Nix as their install OS image. If that happens, users will easily double and maybe more hands might fix the docs or perhaps it's a chicken egg problem but if it's the doc, i

Good thing about nix package manager is that you can have same path using it on macOS and on Linux, so your shell config files are easier to maintain without if's. Linuxbrew installing at /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/

If you'd have ever looked at the WordPress source code, you know why it's been having a crappy track record. It's one of the easiest example of "don't code like this".

Gutenberg is a joke. Clients wonder how to use it and internally, it's a mess like all the other core part of WordPress. They leave a bug having the previewing feature broken with any custom fields for 2 years and they don't know

I agree the ecosystem is what makes WordPress attractive. I'm impressed by the efforts put into third party themes and plugins that are simply amazing but the WordPress core is a joke. One of its function name is literally "the_co

Are you just guessing that third parties have enough resource to release proper patches quicker? Not sure what the "rework" is about when a bug is found in Stream, the "rework" is toward older versions of the package in

Are there any inherent reasons that I should switch to neovim from vim? Everytime I try to do that, I don't see immediate benefits and vim kind of catches up or plugins start to support vim and I just go back to vim as all my script ke

Is anyone sponsoring the development or is this one man being putting his enthusiasm into it ? I never see submissions of dragonflybasd that isn't coming from Phoenix either but anyone using it at all or maybe parts of it can be reused
