I recently built my latest server in FreeBSD just to get some hard experience with it... ...and I love it! Documentation is generally excellent, readable, and centralized. There are only a dozen or two processes running on a fresh system wi

Store the sequences in variables and put those instead. You get readability and locality!

Can't you run an xorg server under Windows and let the WSL apps connect to that?

There is an alternate defintion of hacker, that of the "startup hacker" or "growth hacker," that this site seems to follow more closely. Disappointing, for sure.

You can thank the need to appeal to the 'serious business' people for that

It's a postgres install with a proprietary extension. Management burden is about as low as it gets for a small app -- make sure its got HD space for storage and logs, lock it down sensibly, set up a cron job to export daily backup dump

Not so sure about that, my last fresh install of Ubuntu Server (admittedly like 4-5 years ago now) had several cores hovering in the 20-30% range while idle and nothing was installed on the server yet. "Ooop, guess I'm going back

I (like most here) have personally benefitted from extensive software telemetry but am generally against it in my personal life. But I also write business software where the expectation of privacy is already moot. Gaming is a weird point th

When you subscribe to managed services instead of running the software yourself, these are the kinds of trade-offs that get made

Pinball FX3 is so hostile to regular gamers too. The level select screen makes it really hard to see which tables you own and which you don't (to incentivize you to buy more), until you go and find them and add them to favorites column

Why is story point estimation tied to fibonacci sequence? Two generations of managers at my previous employment thought this way. It just seems so arbitrary to me.

Disappointed that there are no mentions of LEAN in here.

I'm in a similar boat and my MBP performs at a tiny fraction of its potential because of all the corporate security crap they've loaded on it.

Funny, here in coastal socal lately I have been hearing women refer to each other as "dude" or "bro" or "man" sometimes even more often than I hear men do it (And I have yet to see any guys get called out or co

That's great and all, but there are other externalities that GP was referring to. Animal wellbeing doesn't mean a whole lot if all the animals have died out.

I agree with his point that in a few generations, greyhounds will be a lot less common to see if there isn't strong interest in breeding them for companionship. They aren't particularly fashionable (like a Corgi), or useful (like

In theory, yes, but in practice Microsoft Office favors its cloud service when you click "Open" or "Save". Didn't they break autosave to only work when a document is backed by the cloud? In practice, I am continuall

Can't speak for the latter two but FL 20 absolutely steps up to Logic. And they keep adding stuff to it, for free. My license from like 2005 is still valid.

Backblaze has a bunch of sheisty rules put in place because they're afraid of supporting data hoarders, and want to minimize the amount of space users take as part of their 'unlimited' plan, so I am not surprised.

How could you possibly interpret this new world of digital sharecropping ("cloud computing") as empowering? Where is the passion for 'personal computing' when nearly everything personal about it is delegated to the cloud

If I ever wanted to get into iOS development I'd probably purchase a cheap Macbook Air for the bare minimum of stuff and use one of the multiplatform SDKs that can produce iOS builds alongside every other platform
