When did you use a Mac last, 2010? You can run nix on macOS now. You can also drag windows into corners or edges to tile them, it is almost exactly like Windows 7 or 10. You can even have tiling window managers on macOS that emulate i3. You

I don't disagree, but what does that possibly have to do with macOS being a Unix or not?

There's two options: 1. This is a lighthearted joke that someone made after having a bad experience with others being noisy in public. (Most likely scenario.) 2. The author is going to actually use this tool in public, in which case th

Very neat, just installed it. I would say having someone download the profile and install it on macOS is honestly just as easy as running bash. It's also safer and provides more understanding.

The syntax of Prolog is important! Since Prolog programs are just Prolog data structures, it is easy to write Prolog meta-interpreters which generate or consume Prolog code. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmBkU-l1zyc

Re: the comma-at-end-of-line thing: I would sometimes write Prolog like so to avoid that issue: goal :- true , subgoal(A, B) , subgoal(B, C) . This is definitely not standard and I don't

“Hack the hackers back” is a pretty old idea with (IIUC) very shaky legal grounds and not a lot of success. It would be much better if Anthropic had a special reporting function for API abuse.

This has to be one of the more insane takes in the thread. Colonel Sanders and Tony the Tiger aren’t real people, Scott Adams is (was?) a real person. I listen to an artist who I feel changed my life with her music. When I heard she had att

One would think multi-monitor support is the hardest thing in the universe to solve. My Linux desktop has very bad multi-monitor support, but hey, it's Linux. My $2K Macbook Pro has, somehow, even worse multi-monitor support, so bad

The article made a lot of sense in 2018. If I was Lisa I would want my story to be heard. And so in turn I empathize and want to hear her story. I’m not sure why it is being reposted in 2026, though.

Bugs in your WM can cause crashes and often do. You’re trying to pretend this is some ridiculous foreign concept when it isn’t. The two are closely linked. If KDE works for you, great. It crashes often for me. I find it exceedingly hard t

True, up to a certain point. Until recently I used all three major OS almost every day for work, school, games, servers, etc. I’ve seen really bad bugs in all of them. Just spend some time looking around the Internet, Linux and KDE crash co

It was apt-get upgrade, then. Whichever command updates all packages on the system. I must have misspoke, I don’t use Debian-based systems all that much anymore. I remember it had a particular fondness for deleting old kernel versions, fail

I have witnessed this phenomenon happening in my own life and it is so utterly bizarre and wild to me that, while having zero evidence for this, I have to believe it’s some kind of astroturfing campaign by companies selling legal marijuana.

(From your own link, the story is just a myth that’s not supported by modern scientific evidence. But the point still stands.)

Just spent the holidays with my family who fit squarely within “the Christian right”. I would say they are mostly uninformed on the topic. They don’t understand why digital sports betting is worse than a casino.
