We used this about 10 years ago and it worked... ok. The problem as some have pointed out already is it’s using a very out-of-date HTML/ JS engine. If you want to turn some HTML reports into PDFs, it’ll do the job. But there are ways t

Gnome looks a bit like you got stuck in an alternative reality where MacOS evolved slightly differently. KDE looks like you got stuck in an alternative reality and Windows 7 evolved differently. (And Windows 8/10 never happened) I neve

Well for starters, there are lines of cargo ships outside of LA, 20-30 off the coast of LA right now. Typically it would be 1-2. That’s something like 100,000 sitting idle right there. Then many of the storage facilities are also jam packed

I don’t use Adobe, so for me, the big culprit has always been MS Office and I’ve been able to mostly avoid it for years. I’m looking more at Slack, VSCode, and other “Essential” apps which have displaced Mac Native tools like BBEdit and if

Unfortunately, it feels like everything is turning into what Linux was 10 years ago. MacOS is better, but the increasing dominance of Electron and Java apps which bring their own UIs into whatever eco-system they encounter is very frustrati

Looking and feeling better than Windows is a low bar. Or at least it was a low bar in the Gnome 3.0 days. I was mostly stricken with how much many of the features they are highlighting look straight out of stuff which was unveiled in MacOS

You need to check your dates. MacOS’s fundamental look has a pretty consistent chain all the way back to NextOS in the 90s. The Dock, the dot indicator, and many other core pieces are visible in versions of MacOS which predate the launch of

Been a few years since I’ve used Gnome, I hadn’t realized they’d pivoted so much to following MacOS. It looks like they’ve taken a lot of the best parts of MacOS and built something really nice atop it.

Pesticides are the more recent threat, but their numbers were hit pretty hard prior to DDT by hunting. Congress put a stop to that in the 40s. Farmers saw them as a threat to livestock.

I don’t use Substack, but what you say matches my understanding of the service. Substack isn’t a brand consumers look for or trust, it’s a brand authors look for and trust. If you are an author, it is a platform which you can build your b

It’s not too difficult to get a Linux VM running on top of MacOS on the M1. Then you can do whatever you want on your M1 Mac and have a full Linux distribution in another window. Call of Duty is a whole other problem.

Ah, obv I misunderstood your above post. Makes a ton of sense. It’s been a while since I used Docker, but I’ll have to try it out next time I’m using a container setup. Particularly since HyperKit seems to make running a VM so straight forw

If having a specific version of a tool is important for your work, it’s probably best to install that tool separate from homebrew and manage that install separately. The Postgres docs seem to recommend the EDB installer. https://

The big thing Docker solves is repeatability and isolation. If you create a Docker instance on your Mac, you are more or less guaranteed it will work the same in production. If you were to create a Linux VM to replace Docker, you would need

Give me a break. The M1 migration is less than a year old and it’s already the single best/ most successful CPU migration in my memory. Far better than Apple’s PPC -> Intel Migration and massively better than whatever half-steps Mic

Absolutely. Should have been more clear it was preference.

Since Docker only runs on Linux, it's always going to be faster/ better on Linux. On the Mac you have to run Linux in a hypervisor, then run Docker on that instance. Things can get a better, but it's always going to be a bit

I have the 8GB MBA I bought for my wife and feel somewhat similarly. There are a few times when things lag a bit, but mostly it just hums along. I'm holding out for the next gen to release for my personal machine and will go with 16GB

This brings back memories of slowly dying car alarms back in the 90s. I probably come across as being more anti-solar roof than I am. Mostly just feel like this isn’t a feature I’d make a purchase decision on and wouldn’t likely pay too muc

How many places are you going to restart this same well trod argument? I wouldn’t say anything except this is twice you’ve brought this up out of the blue under one thread that I’ve seen and this isn’t even talking about the Apple ecosystem

I can understand why you would need to drive 3 miles instead of ride a bike. Your first reply covered that quite well. The rest of this gibberish. I have no idea how you see this as a reasonable interpretation to either of my posts. My po

Can already do this on the Tesla. It’s not solar, but cracking the windows and running the fans to keep it vented isn’t going to burn more than a mile or two of range. The best way to spend money improving an EV is almost always going to be
