A lot of dev folks should (in theory) be able to get away with just having a browser on one side of the screen and a CLI terminal with tmux on the other. Both windows with tabs, and fixed in position. What kind of setup should be used for t

Yeah, I forgot about the Henry and George. A good choice if you're in the UK (made in UK). Hotels and office cleaners use them a lot - which is a sure mark of reliability. I've actually got a Neato robot vac now. I'm not sure

And how are people supposed to develop for this new technology if they haven't released a Mac pro for nearly 4 years, and graphic card support is well behind Windows?

I doubt if he is, but it would be great if he did. What with his focus on manufacturing.

A legally enforced 10 year rule would be great. Works for 10 years or your money back! I've got a mid-2007 iMac I'm still using. Great build quality. Unfortunately the latest macs seem gimmicky - thin iMacs and touchbar MacBooks e

A good rule is just to buy Miele or high-end Bosch. Make sure it's made in Germany and sold in the German market. They have higher standards. I don't know if this is true for ovens, but with other appliances it's a good rule

Apple have made some terrible design decisions since Jobs died. A 'thin iMac' - whose thin-ness was absolutely pointless. The MacBook (2 lbs) and MacBook Pro (3 lbs) were designed to weigh arbitrary weights instead of thinking abo

I've always thought origami-style cardboard furniture would be a good idea. Cut, fold, put on a blanket and cushions, and you've got a sofa. And getting hold of some cardboard is not difficult.

The nerds don't like it when their own - Brendan Eich, Tim Hunt, Richard Dawkins, DongleGate guy etc - get witch-hunted by the SJWs. So it's no surprise that they let off steam by supporting people who oppose that stuff.

Is there a powerful laptop which can be 'hackintoshed' to run macOS? Apple's current machines are unappealing. It feels like the mid-90s just before Apple started allowing Mac clones. Apple had given up producing appealing ma

If anyone could find the original Levy article, I would be interested. GUIs create a sort of 'Learned helplessness', where people are deliberately handicapped in their knowledge. It's as if you never learnt to read, and relie

Shortcat - https://shortcatapp.com - lets you access nearly all parts of Mac GUI from the keyboard. Together with the 'Command + Shift + ?' help menu, you don't need a mouse. There's a lot of good info here:

Israel is next door. Germany, Sweden, Holland, USA are not. 5 million need to be allowed into Israel right now. Surely Israel is not a racist society?

The only decent solution for this problem in Jerusalem would be to house the millions of refugees streaming out of next door Syria. Israel has accepted none so far.

I bought a Panasonic TV because it was said to have the best UI. It used Firefox OS. The UI was OK - I have nothing to compare it to since I didn't have a TV for 10 years. Anyway, they stopped Firefox OS development soon after. I wonde

Maybe a parallel system needs to be implemented, like how OS X originally had a Classic OS 9 system running alongside. Once everyone had come to OS X, the classic environment was dropped.

I've always wondered why a new open-source OS has not arisen to claim the mantle of UNIX / Linux. There are so many ancient design decisions, piled up upon each other, which spawn millions of man-hours of frustration. It continues
