I only started reading his books within the last year, but McCarthy quickly became one of my favorite authors. Suttree in particular I think is quite wonderful. I also immensely enjoyed the Passenger and have been thinking about it for mont

The original audiences saw them projected on film and the resolution was fantastic. I believe the contrast was not as good as an OLED TV or Dolby Cinema though.

In my experience, Arch users have the opposite attitude. They want to empower you to fix your system yourself. On the Arch forums, even "silly" questions are usually met with a nod in the right direction at least, if not substanti

I don't think anyone is incapable of installing Arch, unless unwilling means incapable (or if that person is in a situation where they're prevented from installing it). Here's the installation guide: https://wiki.a

There is a sequence in Cormac McCarthy's recent novel The Passenger where the protagonist spends a few nights alone on an oil rig in a raging storm. It is eerie and beautiful. Creepy while at the same time comfy.

I thought the Batman absolutely justified its runtime, and for me did not feel like a slog whatsoever. I wished it would go on longer when it ended.

Another one I see is pushbacks . This one is less clear to me. You can treat it as uncountable like feedback, but you can also say there was a pushback , which maybe makes pushbacks okay? Although no one says it, pushes back seems to

With HN and other sites with a non-personalized feed, at least what you see is the same as what everyone else sees. And if there's voting, which isn't perfect, it's based on community feedback.

Not that I disagree with you, but have you seen the new Windows app for Apple Music? It definitely feels Windows 11-ey, with the animations you'd expect. A notable departure from the Mac design, in favor of Windows design, is the place

In my experience with the non-classical app, Apple Music has good but not perfect support for a local/offline library. I'm not sure, but you can probably do local playback of offline music even without a subscription. If you do ha
