Totally possible, yes. But, in my experience the Mac's OS updates break things fairly often, and running macOS on non-Mac hardware isn't supported or well-tested by VMWare. But it might be worth it, depending what you need to do..

Yes, absolutely virtualization works so much better. In fact you can boot Mac and run VMWare Fusion, or boot into Windows 10 and use either Windows Subsystem for Linux or VMWare Workstation, and you will have a pretty great experience wit

I have the VanMoof X2 ebike, which has the same non-removable battery. Yes, taking your bike up in the lift is what VanMoof expects you to do. I live on the top floor of an apartment building, and it is annoying to bring the bike up every t

Nice to meet you! I am the first person you've met who has tried WebStorm but then switched back to VSCode! I bought it and gave it a whirl, but I went back. Mainly because VS Code is much faster, and has a more normal UI (native open&

LOL I don’t know — I use VS Code. But I’d try this maybe if somebody I trust told me it was better in some way that was important to me.

My day job is TypeScript all day long, so like all but one quintillionth of one percent of TypeScript developers, I use VS Code all day long, too. I'm extremely happy with its development, too; I think the team behind it has done as go

You are being correctly downvoted because your statement has no purpose other than snark, and is inaccurate by any reasonable standard. With a graphical debugger, built-in terminal, rich extension architecture, the ability to compile and ru

This seems a good thread to memorialize OmniWeb — for a few years there, it was the best web browser of all time. When was that? 2002-2005 ish?

Me too, that is an absolutely amazing tool! I have used it for years and years, for normal stuff like software diagrams and business process and shit like that, but also for stuff like floor-planning my house and doing mockups to decide wha

I have the "Remastered" version of the Aeron chair, and I love it. I've been using it for several years and it still feels like new. It is mesh-based, although not super minimalist. https://www.btod.com/blog&#

This bugs the shit out of me, too, but it is in some sense correct. Cryptocurrency enjoys a much, much higher mindshare among humans than cryptography. I guess because it's money. And also because it's been this weird but actual b

Keybase is a little like "Linux on the desktop". I love it, I use it. With my help, even my dad can use it. The underlying architecture is righteous, it's open-source, and I want it to be good enough so that everybody can use

Wow, I didn't think I wanted ligatures and so I never turned them on. But based on your comment, I just tried it and I found that I love it! The little visual blip! when the characters merge does in fact provide a nice little feedbac

Two guys that IBM was paying to work on server-side Swift are stepping down from the server working group (presumably because IBM decided not to pay them to do that anymore). I think these guys were best known for Kitura, the (previously) I

But that _is_ true: the Foundation library — which because Swift has a super small core library is really kind of critical to basically any kind of program — behaves differently on Linux. I write Swift code that runs on Linux and also on ma

> lack of a proper manual QA team at Apple Yeah, I think so. Apple's apps have always been terrible , and it seems weird because their Mac OS (though of course buggy in absolute terms) has, for almost 20 years, far outshined any

Wait, do you mean "if you're on linux gnome-terminal is better (because if you're on linux you can't use iTerm2) ?" Because that's the only way your comment makes sense to me.

Maybe not, but it seems to be the least annoying right now . I've never seen it show me an ad (including paid placement type ads) so far. I guess if they junked up their new tab page with intrusive encouragement to start using Brave R

Yeah, I get so much value from Pocket that I even switched from Instapaper. It's not Pocket that's the problem, it's the gross attempted force-feeding (that just makes me want to try some other browser like Brave (not an endo

You are literally correct, but that doesn't answer the question at all.

Oops, you are right! I re-read it, and... not sure where I got that impression from. So, Amazon made a status quo membrane keyboard. OK, uh, then yeah I guess I'll just move on then.

The striking thing to me about this is that is is purportedly a "mechanical keyboard" and yet it failed after only 5 years. I have purchased, or somehow gotten, at least 15 mechanical keyboards (and 10+ membrane-or-whatever keyboa
