If you want to travel occasionally what benefit would this proposed setup have, over a MacBook Pro? Even if you add in a dock/hub to get more ports (e.g. the mini has wired ethernet), it's still less faffing around, likely less co

A big part of this is about code that's consumed by third parties: i.e. library code. Previously, it was very common to not expose a public property directly, even if it required no setter logic, because any future change to add sett

The original RFC that led to this feature originally used a special variable to indicate the backing store; that was overwhelmingly disliked, as it was "magic". Conversely php already has other places where context affects propert

There's nothing specifically that says S/MIME certs would need to have the same 90-day expiration date, but even if they did, I'm making a basic assumption that if there were a standardised, free API to issue S/MIME cert

I really wish they would finally branch out and offer S/MIME certificates. Good email clients support them out of the box, it's just a PITA to get them if you don't want to order 100 at a time or something equally ridiculous

Sendy is an absolute atrocity of software. It's like you gave 1000 monkeys access to stack overflow with two buttons - one to copy and one to paste, then you trained an LLM on the garbage they produce, and then you asked the same monke

Overall I think it's worth it. I made a switch like this back in 2018, and it's worked very well for me. I ended up buying a new stock-config MBP15 because my previous laptop had a fatal failure and needed a quick replacement; A c

Ah yes, how silly of me. Writing two config files in fucking JSON of all things is absolutely better than writing one config file.

Why? Just why? There are literally dozens of existing, free tools for both TOTP token management and secure password generation, that run 100% on-device, as a native app. At least one major OS family has it built in , out of the box. With

I would say that you should replicate the environment your product will run as closely as possible. So for a lot of us that means a web app of some kind running on a Linux server. The simplest way to reliably reproduce that regardless of th

You'd need to have a very specialised workload to convince me that a local virtualised environment isn't the best solution for development.

16GB of RAM is hardly a gargantuan amount in 2024 - it's not unreasonable to expect someone running a local dev environment to have a more practical amount. I wouldn't buy (or recommend) any machine for dev work with less than 64G

> the stack always grows to the point that a dev can no longer test it on their own machine Sounds like you have a different problem. CPU resources required to run your stack should be very minimal if it's a single user accessing it

I don't know what a "2 prong" power cable is. If you're using a monitor (as opposed to a tv) you can ditch the HDMI cable, and use USB-C DP AltMode.

Here's a hint: the thing you clearly think is "inferior"... I don't even think about at all. It's literally a non issue that gets paraded out by people who don't use it at every opportunity.

Most of these would be better as aliases in your global hit config file. Several are 30+ lines of boilerplate to run a git one-liner.

I can't use my watch while I charge it. Nor my earbuds. Nor my portable Bluetooth speaker. None of those can give me any meaningful amount of use time (and definitely not enough for a full work day) from a 2 minute charge. My mouse can
