Such an easy thing to say from a privileged position in (probably) the richest country on Earth. I was lucky enough to be born in one of those "remote locations", which you could not find on the map if your life depended on it. Th

Educate them if you can. Whenever I see someone using crapware like bandicam I give them a link to OBS Studio and briefly describe its advantages. Same for winrar and 7zip. They usually don't know any better and were using whatever eve

Caught up? tar has had this for a few billion years at least: $ tar cazf - file1 file2 | split -b 700m - out.tgz 7zip also natively supports splitting for as long as I can remember.

They don't MITM anything. There were a few ridiculously incompetent failed attempts. There will undoubtedly be more, but HTTPS works fine at the moment. Just wanted to clarify this.

Unfortunately it's not officially supported (as usual in CRA world), so you have to resort to one of the config rewriters. I've been using this⁰ and only had one problem with numeric enums in TypeScript. I don't remember the

From what I've heard most compiler developers base their work off those final drafts, so you'd be better off using them anyway. Might be an old wives' tale though.

Hell yes, esbuild is an amazing tool. I not only use it in most CRA projects (where it replaces webpack and builds everything at least two times faster), but it's also easy to use for plain HTML pages to add some interactivity without

But GNU coreutils are ahead of all proprietary alternatives in both speed and features, are they not? I've personally not had the opportunity to work on AIX, or Solaris, or whatever (there are no machines like that where I live), but t

When was that? I spent quite a bit of time on PS1, then PS3, and then PS4, and enjoyed my share of that sweet 24 FPS "cinematic" experience. That heavy post-processing as an attempt to hide the (sometimes extremely) low texture re

The sibling comment is right, it doesn't help very much. The CO₂ level goes above 800 ppm (which is already considered unhealthy) in ~20 minutes, rises to ~2200-2400 ppm (depends on wind speed and atmospheric pressure) in the course of

Are you looking at a single worker process out of about 10? This is such a frequent mistake it's not even funny. Do something resembling a proper measurement: run `free -m` (or the alternative on your OS) before starting VSCode, and th

Don't forget that snaps came almost a year before flatpak. This is being parroted all over HN and still many don't know it and blame Canonical for reinventing the wheel, which is why I'm posting this. (I agree with your gener

Headless? It even has the same debug console as the ordinary Chromium. Basically the only thing it misses is the URL bar and navigation buttons. It's just a browser with some OS integration slapped on the side.

Take a look at desktop Telegram when you have some time. It bundles its own fork of Qt (which inflates its shared memory usage as nobody else is using the library), has a very polished UI and all the same features as any other modern messen

It's almost as if there are other countries besides US. We have -40°C winters and +40°C summers here, and if you don't have central heating (which most homes don't have), you can easily get a daily temperature difference of 2

You get used to it after a while. I've been living in an area with extreme levels of outside air pollution (think Mumbai or Beijing, but much worse) for many years, so my windows are almost always closed shut. I have a CO2 meter and it

You really don't have anything better to do than spamming the whole discussion thread with this low-effort systemd critique?

Sure, and there are third party drivers for ext* and btrfs and god knows what else… but we're talking about official support here, I think. You can find all sorts of craziness in out-of-tree patches for the Linux kernel.

Just copy your ~/.mozilla everywhere. I too have been using the same profile for about a decade, across many machines.

Alright, I'll bite. I donate quite a bit of my income to FOSS projects (which is pretty low due to living in the third world, so it's not a lot of money). I would gladly donate specifically towards Firefox development, but they ar

Just squash the junk commits with rebase when you are done. It keeps the history clean and you have many points to revert to.

It can be compiled out of the kernel (that's what most distributions do these days), or disabled with a boot option. Try: $ zgrep CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA224 /proc/config.gz $ grep logo /proc/cmdline
