Can you not just back up the current SSD and repeatedly OTA it to the last supported version? That would be my solution.

I think the goal of running Macs hot is to prevent the fans from kicking in for most use-cases. If you're running twelve virtual machines and compiling Chromium simultaneously, then you might need earplugs.

This seems to be true of learning as well. It's strange how easy it is (for me at least) to break the cycle of doing something every day--I tell myself that it's okay to skip today so long as I make it up tomorrow (or on the weeke

This is true. Setting goals for yourself can be effective so long as you don't beat yourself up too horribly if they fail. That's usually counterproductive--especially if the goal is to improve your mental health.

For a lot of these things, I've found that thirty minutes of looking at the problem from various angles is enough to get your subconscious mind engaged. After working on the problem for a bit, the solution just comes to you when you&#x

Windows does. The df command does by default. Those are the two I use.

As a site owner, forcing non-JS users to click through a CAPTCHA is worth it since I get zero spam as a result. It might not be appropriate here, but it's appropriate for most personal websites.

This is true on paper. Sans serifs are more readable at small sizes on lower-pixel-density screens.

Comcast DNS-hijacks that entire site as a "potential threat". They also block https://ix.io/ . Interesting.

Notably, storage vendors and many operating system vendors use different units to describe capacity, so hard disks will always seem small as a result of this. [edit: add qualifying "many"]

The only problem I have with that page is that the meta description contains too much content. Otherwise, the source is very clear.

Maybe not officially, but in practice that's how it's used: The unit's official symbol is bar; the earlier symbol b is now deprecated and conflicts with the use of b denoting the unit barn, but it is still encountered, espec

The default is still Google. The search deal with Google is where the vast majority of their budget comes from.

I find it very hard to believe that Mozilla would have any luck with any amount of advertising. Firefox offers no features that are useful to non-technical people that Chrome doesn't have. If anything, it's worse for the average p

They do. HTTP/3 is over QUIC, which uses UDP (on ports 80 and 443, as it should). That effort has been spearheaded by Google. Edit: Also, putting everything on port 443 is a major security and privacy boon. Internet service providers c

Huh! That's really cool. I'm glad that you invested in the UI toolkit---that distinguishes Sublime products from other text editors and Git GUIs by a wide margin.

It's a custom, proprietary UI library built on Skia. It would be really cool if they released it as open-source, but it's also their competitive advantage.

VS Code's configuration is a GUI skin over JSON, so that's probably what they should do with the terminal as well.

Are you talking about dmenu? That's always been fast on my machine (sway, not i3).

If you have VS Code installed, the JSON configuration for the Windows Terminal won't open in Notepad.

It's worth noting that this article is from 2019. There hasn't been another article about iOS 13 support yet.

While the MacBook Pro thermals are not frequently lauded for many of the same reasons, the metal unibody does make an effective heatsink. I'm not sure why that isn't standard with every expensive-ish laptop, given that most of the

Me neither. Chromium 83 with plenty of adblocking and privacy extensions.

I think that anyone can recognize it as a good alternative for Ubuntu, since Ubuntu already uses systemd (and that's a done deal). I'd consider myself a pragmatist, so I like systemd because it makes my life easier with the declar

systemd-boot is a good solution to this problem. It's less of a horrible complicated mess than GRUB. You can add menu entries for multiple operating systems, an EFI shell, and the BIOS menu, just like with GRUB. It has a much nicer con

It looks like that's just updating Git to a new version to address an already-public bug. I guess they figured that there's no advantage to waiting to release that information.

Yes, this is probably another coordinated disclosure where we see evidence in Linux kernel commits first. I noticed that Apple hasn't released the security credits page for iOS 13.5 yet; is that a normal delay or are we waiting on the
