The main advantage for Dropbox is that file sync works flawlessly. I've had issues with Onedrive and Google Drive in the past. Maybe they fixed those, but I can't trust them anymore.

HOCON is a great human-readable alternative to JSON. It's a superset of JSON with lots of cool features that make it both more readable and easier to use. Here's a rundown of HOCON's main features: https://github.c

Let me clarify that Doom Emacs is not "same as Spacemacs, but faster". This is probably one of the biggest misunderstandings about these two Emacs frameworks. You can end up with a similar feature set using any of the two, and yes

Both are very opinionated frameworks. Basically, they establish a convention for dealing with packages and custom config code, and build from there. With Spacemacs, the expected default is to use Vim-style editing, with the addition of the

The strength of Emacs lies in customizing it to the user's needs. A clean installation of Emacs is not representative of what Emacs can be, but the various modern configuration frameworks such as Spacemacs and Doom Emacs offer a window

Vi is like an standard for moving around and editing text files. I use Vi-style commands in all my editors: Emacs, IntelliJ, and VSCode. For me, any application that supports Vi keybindings and has some sort of command palette will feel lik

Nowadays Kia and Hyundai target different segments, but quality is about the same. Kia also does more region-specific models, like the Ceed in Europe and the Telluride in US, while Hyundai seems to have a more global strategy where they cho

Brew follows a rolling-release style, it behaves the same way the Arch Linux package manager does. In Arch users are discouraged from upgrading specific packages instead of everything as a whole. That said, the docs say that running "b

You didn't install "Node 18", you installed "Node". If you want Node 18, grab the "node@18" package instead of "node". This is how Brew has managed this problem for years: problematic dependencie

It's in the order of "hundreds of kilobytes" (a basic Hello World starts at about 100 KB, the size of a fully optimized Scala standard library). The resulting code is 100% Javascript, so there's no runtime cost during ex

Like most esoteric language features in existence, Raku allows for it. Probably easier to support, as variables are prefixed with sigils.

Those types are wrappers that keep a reference to some data. In any language, it's common to encounter issues when people confuse copying the underlying data with copying just the container around the data and keep pointing to the same

Each brand has its strengths and weaknesses. AMD isn't dominating anymore, but they are still ahead in areas such as AVX512 (absent in Intel Core), the ability to mount more than 8 performant cores in a chip (Intel's intra-core co

As per the article: The problem is that descriptive names don't stay that way. Descriptive names turn into misleading names as the things they refer to change over time. And while code can be refactored, it's very hard to refactor

Even if power consumption is not a concern, there's a need to account for power dissipation. Using 65W allows for a low-noise air cooler or a nearly-silent AIO, and it also allows for smaller form factors with compromised cooling solut

It always depends on the use case. The casual tests I did for my own use case found a M1 Pro with 10 cores to be comparable to a Ryzen 3700X, which is pretty impressive for a machine that basically makes zero noise when it's not under

Furthermore, even easy Vim ("vim -y", "evim") requires users to know to press Control+Q to exit. That cute bottom bar is the reason Nano wins. It provides a safety net.
