I don't use vimr that heavily, but a few times now I've seen it chewing on the CPU when I've left it open in the background. I do use neovim heavily and haven't seen that.

The article says they only launched as a public product in 2018. I would think the first question I would have had was, "where's Python 3?" Either way, if they're on track to finish later in 2020 I don't see it has

But that's my point. It has a place in a very, very narrow number of applications. For those it's an all-in decision where the UI significantly changes and it's ignoring your operating system. Photoshop for most of its hist

I completely agree. I'm questioning whether I'm curmudgeon for feeling this way, but the only time I notice scrolling customizations is when they mess up scrolling--which is surprisingly often and also seems intentional most of t

I don't see how that kind of SPA is any different than a heavy pro app. Those apps often come up with their own UI scheme that people either love or hate (and usually completely ignores system preferences). A few common examples (I s

It really depends on the usage. Our iPads don't have cellular and our kid often watches movies and tv in the car. I've also downloaded YouTube videos so they can watch. 32GB is a very small amount of space for that kind of usag

My wife has an iPad Air 2. The screen cracked over the years (it's mostly our 3yo's now--the source of the cracks). I went to get the screen repaired and was quoted at $169 (because the screen was "a one-off" for Apple

I know this is a completely different class of device, but even though my FitBit can last a few days without recharge, the more important thing is that it can get a full day's charge while I'm in the shower. A 24 or 36 hr battery

I do think "worth transitioning" is the final group of people who have the most reason to hold off. If new features are what made it worth transitioning, then it probably was 3.6 with async/await. If you relied a lot of uni

I wish they tested different oils. I didn't see flax on the wikipedia page, but another page says 225° F [1]. This page [2] mentions flax seed oil flaking off and recommends refined grapeseed oil (which looks to have a smoke point of

In general, I find non-stick to be more maintenance than cast-iron. If you're using it every day just wipe it out when you're done. Most non-stick pans discourage using the dish washer--I see mentions of high-heat [1] and aggress

LA has been adding them all over. I really hate speed bumps. It feels like a band-aid on a design problem that just causes premature wear on your car--but it might be their best option.

The 405 is what 6 lanes in each direction now? How much extra value do you get by ruining nearby neighborhoods? I'm not saying people shouldn't deal with the change, just that it should be looked at before writing off people tha

I think it is. A lot of LA was built out 100 years ago. Many of these people bought their house 20+ years ago. Waze started causing problems within the last 10 years and the marginal value of using these roads can be debated. I can&#x27

I'm pretty confident Waze routes people not by posted speed limits, but by average driving habits and traffic speeds. I do think Waze users are self-selecting. People that are willing to take "short cuts" choose Waze. I oft

How far are they willing to go? I wouldn't be surprised London has similar problems, but in LA I owned a house on a "back road" that ran parallel to the 405 going north over a hill. The house was built 100 years ago. Neigh
