Same. I switched from iPhone/Mac to Android/Windows and sometimes refer to that period as my "rumspringa," as I eventually returned to Apple for all things "daily life" tech. I've put all that customizatio

Your intuition isn't flawed. People are both willfully dense, and typically unable to grasp extremely complex systems, and both are at play with regards to climate change and energy shortage. The one that always gets me is how people e

True, but simple color contrast can work wonders. It’s not just a symptom of flat design — it’s a symptom of flat and pretty much all the same color design. It might be a touch ugly, but as an example, if the main interface were black and

Incorrect. I own a single member LLC in CA and very simply must pay an $800 charge to operate. This is a charge completely separate from taxes owed. I know because for a couple years I didn’t owe any state business taxes and thought I didn’

Yup, could not agree more. My approach with Linux has been to not even try to make the Linux desktop try and compete with macOS or even Windows. Instead, I really like the "OS as IDE" approach, which has caused me to settle into u

Huh. Very interesting, thank you! You've given me some things to think about.

I get what you're saying, and think you're mostly right. However, I just booted up Breath of the Wild for the first time in a year (it's the not the first video game I've played in a year -- I just haven't played it

Really? I'm very interested in hearing why you think that.

For real. Microsoft's attempts to compete with the Apple ecosystem kind of feel like DC trying to catch up with Marvel -- super rushed, half-baked, zero vision. It's especially strange since .NET is a great cross-platform framewor

I'm a freelance composer, so selling is just part of my job description. However, I kind of accidentally stumbled upon a good way to get your sales skills up to snuff: Craigslist. I really enjoying flipping instruments or anything else

You're missing the point. Big Sur is macOS 11, so Windows is following suit with an 11 of their own.

This change to me feels very touch-oriented. If you're touching a standard browser's URL bar, you might touch a tab instead (and vice-versa). But if you put them on the same horizontal plane, this problem is solved. And from a tou

I’ve found the best middle ground is to use a Mac and then mostly develop in a local VM. Snapshots/etc are wonderful, and they can be transferred from machine to machine, so “setting up my development environment” is as simple as “inst

I hope that they release a Linux distro with baked-in "Wine" for easy win32 backwards compatibility.

Why do you say that you're never going to be able to buy a house, but maybe will end up retiring before you're 40? Sounds like, in lieu of anything else, you should try and buy a rental property or two. Start slow, eventually FIRE

The meme of “scientists spreading doom and gloom” just doesn’t appear to be rooted in reality, though. A much more obvious explanation is that what they’re revealing and proposing is unbelievably dark and holistically bad that people can’t

I find “write sober, review drunk” to be much better advice.

Thank you. I put pride into my writing, so I really appreciate you saying that.

Ha, thanks for asking. Sure, all that works (and more) except the karaoke. Long story short, I have another chronic illness known as hyperacusis. Google it if you care. But a more valuable answer has less to do with me personally and more t

I have 30+ food allergies that developed as an adult (which includes alcohol). Yes, it's ridiculous. I literally cannot eat food that isn't prepared by me from a hilariously small and ever-shrinking list of approved ingredients. I

I don't know anyone that uses Cmd+Down. Cmd+O tends to be the popular choice. Because you're always in an app in macOS, Cmd+O is the more consistent choice: every app you're in will use Cmd+O for "open." In Finder,

I've actually come to prefer this. Pressing Cmd+C means I've "grabbed the file." Now I can decide what I want to do with it. I might want to just move it (cut/paste = opt+cmd+v), or I might want to copy it (copy&#x2

This is on point and similar to my experiences in game companies. That said, I'm in music/audio, and from my side of the fence there seemed to be a sort of higher respect from management for programmers (and to a certain extent, a
