Kent, it’s actually really simple: bcachefs is experimental. Those that are currently using bcachefs and those that can’t wait for a data recovery tool that hasn’t existed until now is a group containing precisely zero people. You’re acting

You're both not wrong. What @surgical_fire is describing is the "minimum viable product" for a career. It's the thing that serves the basics on Maslow's Hierarchy. What @hshshshshsh is describing is anything past th

This looks awesome! Right up my alley. Side-note: what theme are you using in the linked gif? It's right in the middle of my two favorite themes, onedark and gruvbox.

I genuinely expect that in a few years, Apple will release something that is effectively identical to Google Glass, and that will historically be seen as the real start of wide-spread usage of AR. Anything less than lightweight glasses is

They had me in the first half, not gonna lie. But the whole "but actually you only like what you like for superficial reasons" thing lost me. I really dislike essays that create false dichotomies just so that they can purport to k

Thank you. I very simply cannot and will not "play the game." I refuse to lay down and accept that the majority of my day's interactions will be laced with bullshit. Every time I have, my spirit has plummeted to dangerous low

Really glad to see that someone has started on a Mac package manager written in Rust. A couple purely superficial suggestions (echoing some other comments here): - Lose the Brew terminology, especially if the name of the project isn't

I've used it plenty ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's an odd duck and very interesting but the Unix roots are still clear IMO.

OP said non-Unix. I'd say that the successor to Unix is Unix-y enough to not qualify for this thread.

“Arc but for Firefox” is called Zen and it’s been my daily driver for months. Fantastic browser.

It's pretty hit or miss. And so far, for me, nothing comes close to topping Hyprland -- I'm perfectly happy without a global menu bar at the moment.

by rewgs 2y ago
Gnome's top bar isn't a global menu, though. It's completely different and IMO pretty much useless.

I wanted to like it, but like all tiling window managers for macOS, it feels too tacked on and janky. For instance, Finder tabs simply aren't possible when using Aerospace. I settled for Cmd+Ctrl+[h|j|k|l] window snapping via Hammerspo

I love how "both sides are the same" continues to persist, even though Biden did absolutely none of what Trump has done these last two weeks, either in terms of method or outcome. They truly could not be more different and yet peo

Man, I feel the exact opposite. Working without types, even if it's just type hints, feels like I'm stumbling around in the dark. I want to know what stuff is, not just YOLO my way through everything. Looking at my Python before

What will be powering all these data centers? The thought of exponentially increasing our fossil fuel consumption scares the hell out of me.

I can assure you that I received nothing of the sort. In fact, I only found out because I called about transferring my policy to a new house. And yes, I read all email/snail mail sent by them. I was given zero heads up.
