To help with the noise try replacing the fans with high quality ones. I threw some nocturnas into an old managed dell switch and it quieted down immensely. Just be aware that sometimes they change the pins around from the standard pinout, I

Try installing SwitchResX. macOS hides resolution options from you, even though they're supported. I had an old 27" dell monitor that I thought was a blurry POS, until I plugged it into a Windows box and realised it was macOS that

This is such a great idea! You don't need compression because images on the web are generally compressed already. Can you share any of your code that does this?

This is _very_ cool. You should make it more obvious that you match the background colour automatically, I don't think I would've even tried it if I hadn't seen that comment on twitter.

For a start you don’t have to look at the keyboard so you can spot typos as they happen and take advantage intellisense etc. Although at 90 wpm you’re probably not looking at the keyboard either. For me the main reason I value touch typing

I used to move the dock to the side, but with dual 4k 27" monitors there was too much mouse movement to get across to it. Now it's back on the bottom and hidden, and I just use spotlight to launch everything

Is anyone really surprised? HDD manufacturers have been misleading consumers since they all started advertising kilobytes as 1000 bytes

I completely agree, but then why do these tools exist in the first place? I think it comes down to a few things. 1. There are managers that do not have good domain knowledge. 2. They don't have regular 1 on 1's, or anything else t

I understand that managers have a need to keep track of how their team members are performing, and that their job is a lot harder when their team is working remotely. But I think It's possible to collect productivity metrics without ob

I think the main objection is that these companies are treating their employees as an enemy rather than part of a team. Seems to me to be a very strong indicator of a toxic workplace

Nice idea! So do you use it similar to how you'd do a git commit?

Yeah the slow-downs are killing me on my Mac book. Everything starts off fine but after a few hours (usually right when I'm in the zone) the whole system just grinds. I've started experimenting with coding on a remote docker host
