I would love for that ability to be easily determined visually, and easily toggled on/off. A big "personalized" and "generic" toggle switch at the top would be useful.

I expect I'll start to see a lot of "intro to programming" books pushed to my recommendation list, based on much of the code I deal with ;)

"In spite" is a bit of a stretch on 'songwriting' credit, as he 'just' wrote the 'solo' bit. But, rethinking, if we're counting the intro guitar line... it's... a hook. It's not noth

Nitpick - he didn't write the song on AHDN (i'm happy just to dance with you). John did. And George had 2 songs on PPM, but one was a cover (chains) and one was written by John (do you want to know a secret?).

I use bing, and tell people to 'bing it' sometimes (instead of 'google it'). I had a family member ask "will bing work with my yahoo?" So... I know those words individually, but... man... together, in that orde

arguably the goal of any software project is... working software, no? i understand your point, but also think 'agile' is at least as much of a 'how' as much as a 'what', especially over the last 5 years or so.

The whole "yeah, just have a conversation" thing bugs me a lot. I like talking, and having conversations. It's rarely enough. The information needs to be written down (or codified in tests or whatever). Future people won&

Holy tamole. Had worked someplace for a short stint. There was a guy who'd started a couple months before I did. His work was 'revolutionary' and 'groundbreaking' - he'd been trying to build some sort of AOP-

There's a degree of truth in that, but I think it applies for larger companies, especially very profitable ones. On the smaller side, I've noticed that I can build the same 'thing' for two organizations, A & B. Org

What's weirder about this is that... most 'pros' really need more than stock stuff you can get at a retail store anyway. If you need an M2 MBP, you probably want it to be 64g or 96g, and probably want 2tb storage. I'

Which states? I believe Michigan has north of $5B 'extra' money sitting around, which is anticipated to grow close to $10B by end of year. Maybe there will be a one-time refund check to citizens/taxpayers there, but is that

I've been in PHP for a long time, and over the last 8-10 years there's been a push for more typing in the language, and we have a lot more typing ceremony than earlier PHP. The nice aspect is that you can get away without it, at

I heard it put more succinctly as "schema on read" and "schema on write". "Schemaless" is really "schema on read" - you're making some assumptions about the structure/values you're rea

It's beyond just 'theft', really. It's punitive - charging you fees, and damaging your reputation with payment systems - while taking whatever item/service you offered. I doubt Stripe is big enough to fight their p

“Immediately” is not the word. As the phone is answered, it’s trying to automatically switch. Pressing that key while it’s in the process of auto switch just confuses it, and typically stops the switch process altogether. Then you have to

This is why I (and many others) I think still have some fond memories of Snow Leopard, marketed as 'bug fix' release. That feels like the last time there was a united push to polish up existing stuff without throwing in 'new

I usually want to walk away from the computer. I sit at the computer enough already. If a call comes in, I want - sometimes need - to be able to walk away. The long/short of it is, both devices 'know' about the airpods.

Unsure if I would love or hate that, but it might be more natural than the iphone/airpods/mac "incoming call" fiasco I face regularly. Airpods/MacOS - listening to background music. Phone call comes in... VERY LOUD

I used a couple variations for about 2 years - Thinkpads with a red trackpoint thingy. never liked them. Continually felt unnatural and clunky. Mac trackpad was a game changer for me. Glad you found something that works for you.
