I think my Steam account is my oldest account that I still actively use as it has a registration date in 2003. Gmail probably the runner-up but that debuted in 2004. To that effect, my Steam username is an email address where the domain lon

You can only get a Mac Studio with an M1 Max or an M1 Ultra, not the M1 Pro. Other than that, this is probably what my future setup will look like. If I knew the Studio was coming I might have held off on my M1 Pro MBP.

For me, the limiting factor was the external monitor support. I couldn't go with just the Air because I have two external monitors. I don't yet have 3, so I settled for the M1 Pro. No regrets so far. Just a great machine all aroun

I wish tech had frozen at like the 2005-2006 era; good enough for wireless routers in homes and some Web 2.0 capabilities but before everything was aggressively targeted towards an always connected phone in your pocket at all times

The other thing this article does not mention is that with many open office floor plans, the amount of conference rooms was never enough to satisfy meeting demand. So even though I might have coworkers on my team with me in my same location

As someone who hasn't really touched the Java ecosystem since around the time of Java 7, where would you recommend starting? Pick up Kotlin first, then Spring Boot? Or the reverse? And is the free version of IntelliJ good enough? I not

They are starting to get there with big official apps and you even install Python from Windows Store now - but they need to just pick a golden path for developers to make applications for everything from Grubhub to sports gambling - and the

I would say that consumer purchasing behavior has veered away from desktop software to mobile applications (due to not having another choice of app distribution) and subscription based services. In the past, an app like Spotify may have bee

This post resonates with me a lot, as I share many of the same complaints. The UI inconsistencies are one thing (that you would hope get ironed out over time), but the level of ads creeping ever higher is alarming. The “accidental” inclusio

I've returned to the .NET ecosystem this year and have been slowly exploring everything they've added and changed to both C# and .NET since I last used it in 2011. I've been impressed so far. The author does a good job pointi

Is Node really that much more widepsread than dotnet, Java, or Python? Or is it more about the general experience level/knowledge of the typical JS developer, where it's more likely to have Bootcamp/self-taught experience tha

What makes this problem so endemic to the Node community? I feel like I never hear about these types of scenarios with NuGet or other package managers. Not to say that it's not a problem elsewhere - it just seems like all the horror st

This is exactly why I switched to Obsidian after trying a few others like Bear, Notion, and Craft. Let me see the files on disk! Don't abstract it away or hide it from me.

It’s not great but at least it’s fast and shows me more context in its results. It’s a more effective search for me than Notion.

The fact that Notion’s search was so slow and not at all useful is part of what pushed me to Obsidian for knowledge management.

As someone new to front-end and who will probably only be building small hobbyist stuff by myself, is the mountain climb that is mastering React worth it? From my initial look into it, it seems incredibly complex.
