I think the missing piece here would be the desktop version of Steam OS. All the other components are in place for a stellar gaming laptop

This has certainly whetted my appetite for a deeper dive - what's a good book on the history of Windows (or even Microsoft), from the earliest days up until at least Windows 95?

Perhaps I was too cavalier in my original comment, but when I said building tools built on open source software, I meant leveraging things like Matano (matano.dev). So you’re not writing everything from scratch but you are responsible for w

Tools like Nessus and Burpsuite Pro are not the ones I'm talking about. Go take a look at the CSPM or CASB or CNAPP space and check the costs on some of these tools.

Most times, you would get ten times the value by taking the money you would spend on these tools, hiring a security engineering department, and letting them build you tools backed by open source software.

There is also another issue with cybersecurity vendors that this article doesn't touch on, and that's in the area of cloud security where many of them started targeting a specific use case or set of use cases, and have slowly expa

People noticed that Twitter was unavailable on the first day of NBA Free Agency. I bet that is typically one of the biggest days on Twitter in terms of activity

It's got a lot of things to work out and improve on, but I assume that will come in time. It feels like the launch was rushed by a month or two to take advantage of the horrific start to July that Twitter has had. Brands seem incredibl

what GPU do you have in your desktop? I have a Nvidia 3070 and have been hesitant to switch over as I heard the support isn't as good as AMD

I agree, but I really wish I could've seen the spectacle if they had been able to launch this past weekend. Twitter is still in rough shape, but it was flat out non-functional on Saturday, which is one of its busiest days of the year (

I don't think anybody is suggesting elimination of all synchronous meetings from a workday. There should just be preference given to long, uninterrupted blocks of time where deep work can be done. Many teams even have a single day of t

They likely don't want third party apps at all, but this is the method they thought would be more palatable than just coming out and saying that. They want to control the experience end-to-end, like Twitter and Discord.

I feel like this solution was designed for someone who is going to snap two windows just one time and work with them for several hours at a time, if not the rest of the day. Whereas I am constantly needing to snap different windows together

A few times I looked into Swift development but got a little confused on where to start - Swift? SwiftUI? Both? I don’t really have a desire to make an iOS app but would love to cut my teeth making a macOS app, maybe something like an RSS r

University in the late 2000's was teaching UML and out of all of the different diagrams and notations, sequence is the only one I have consistently used since then. The rest of the diagrams felt like they mostly were used in big design

To be fair, none of those cities have the transit infrastructure that NYC has. In fact some of them (LA, Dallas, maybe even Seattle) are cities I would classify as “car first”

I thought this was very insightful on his part - yeah this all sounds great, but so what? The Mac Pro is an empty box besides for Apple Silicon and a few fans. What are you going to put in there exactly?

This is a huge draw in PC gaming. People love going back to old games and modding them or updating them to run better. Heck, didn't Portal (a 2007 game) just get an RTX update?

This headset is without a doubt an order of magnitude above things like the Meta Quest Pro, but even with that increase in power, UI, hardware, etc - I'm not sure they have really figured out the "why" for it quite yet. The b

It really just comes down to a different paradigm. I agree that I prefer how Windows handles a lot of things and gives you a lot built-in these days, especially once you add PowerToys

My experience with Philadelphia since the pandemic is that its public transit is now riddled with crime and heroin users, whereas before that was not the case

That is fair - I've only seen other cities firsthand since the pandemic, not SF.

Notice I am not advocating for a complete reversal of these reform-based approaches - I said they need to be adjusted a bit. It is unlikely anything is done 100% correctly on the first attempt, and we are seeing firsthand that there needs t

You're seeing this everywhere. Chicago, Philadelphia, and so on - although the problem may be worse in San Francisco. Cities are struggling in the post-pandemic era as the rising cost of living due to inflation in food and other essent

But to that I ask - don't we all feel these same types of effects ourselves? Does anyone here feel happy about how much they look at their smartphone? And we're adults with fully developed brains - I cannot fathom the havoc it&#x2
