Sane defaults are always good, (which firefox has, IMHO), but not allowing the user to tweak basic stuff is a pain.

Not sure if you mean the git commit "title" and the "body", but the way git works is that the first line is the summary/title and then a blank line, then the body/description. I really like this approach, a nic

I switched to Firefox earlier this year, having used Chrome since 2008/2009, previously having used Firefox. Mostly out of laziness. Can't believe how good Firefox is now, and how great it is on Android (addons, config). Being abl

For anything that doesn't need a UI, you're FAR better off having some remote server than trying to emulate, it's far to slow for ARM64<>x86-64 in both directions.. Many things are just so much easier with a remote serv

I would also propose ease of use as a solution to our problems that the wolf in sheep's clothing took care of for us. We basically handed over how we communicate to make it easier (Emails, Team Communication such as Slack/Teams, e

The main benefit of Gmail and other big providers is the anti-spam, anti-scam, "Google knows best" approach works really well. When I last helped manage a mail server for a small business (late 2000's) SPAM was an absolute me

Here in Australia we have the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) which is designed to help consumers, we also have pretty good consumer laws - this has stopped various companies from expanding here due to not wanting to d

Wow! Thanks for sharing the insights. Amazing how much data Netflix would have, but sharing it externally would hinder negotiations. So you can't even get total views?!

Except Heroku has an issue of your backup etc is too large (despite paying for the correct size), it would cause the replica to go down and spin up a new one, and this process could take hours.

Damn this is fast and accurate! Crazy how far things are progressing.

Agreed, I use command line for basic tasks, then git-cola for committing for a basic UI. Before git I used svn, and must say the main thing I'm happy about git is how easy it is to just push a repository wherever, and GitHub having per

I would have thought this was me writing this in a fugue state. I was diagnosed last year with ADHD, at 32. I would say ADHD has traits, you might not have all but once you start doing research into it you find you tick a lot of the boxes.

Mac laptop and my phone. The idea behind Tailscale is that you can sign in with any device. I can go and create a configuration file for WG, but then it gets longer and longer.

Fantastic! Love seeing more work like this go into Wireguard. I've been using headscale (self-hosted tailscale) for personal use, but having only one machine not running Linux on the network is a bit silly, as Tailscale is userspace, a

Keyboards are getting smaller, but I love full size ones for programming. I ended up getting the keychron v6, it's wired but fine. Their wireless keyboards are apparently a bit buggy, not sure if the new ones still are. QMK is an absol

Would it be worthwhile just using "cloud GPUs" (like the providers who rent out GPUs, not the overpriced AWS stuff) until the next generation comes out, then using that?

The one thing that killed the enthusiasm of Reddit for me was when they started killing old.reddit.com and the loading of comments. It's a shame, as Reddit is an absolute goldmine for esoteric information about random topics (my headph

This is awesome, thanks -- going to look into that now. I found SmartDNS interesting and thought I would share it, it's pretty simple to setup. I can see why it's Chinese focused, they have "interesting" internet access
