Unlike Rust code, activism is an area where statements have a chance to be incorrect or misguided. And just like Rust code, you're welcome to review anything you read, and see if you like it or not. The whole point of activism is to br

If you didn't have a previously-existing Oculus account, there was a period in which you were forced to use your Facebook account. I think this was since the release of Quest 2, up until a few months ago.

I also try to adopt this approach whenever possible. The 'git log' flag you mention is '--first-parent'.

Rectangle Pro has the window throwing feature, which is a game changer. You can use a mouse gesture shortcut to move the window under the mouse to preset locations. There's up to 16 gestures (8 directions, short or long throw), so ther

About point 3. As a long-time Mac user, I usually leave the dock hidden, allowing me to use the space. If I want to use it to access any shortcut, I just use the global shortcut for it (Cmd+Opt+D) to quickly show it, and hide it once I&#x27

You are arguing that "copy and paste" and "cut and paste" in the context of a file manager actually behave as "mark, then copy" and "mark, then move" operations. Well, that's exactly how Finder w

I upgraded yesterday. Stage Manager mostly stays out of your way even when it's enabled. Its addition means macOS now has 3 modes of interacting with windows: - The Classic way, with piles of overlapping windows in a single desktop, an

I agree with the sentiment that the more FP-heavy parts of the Scala ecosystem are not suited to hello-world code _at all_. In this particular case, http4s is at its core a low-level library. The author was right to go for Play first. But i

In the long term it will be an improvement. The one thing dragging adoption down is the removal of the old macro system, which depended completely on the implementation details of the old compiler. That said, I agree that Scala 2 is still v

So... unload, then park? That's how you would do it anywhere you don't have an assigned parking place.

The airships will probably be used to fly between islands in the Balearic and Canary archipelagos. Those routes are currently served by small propeller planes. One big advantage of the airships is that there's no need to have them land

IIRC the "don't turn left on a bicycle" was popularized in Copenhaguen. The city has enough bike traffic that the standard approach stops working.

I'd argue any kind of vulnerability announcement, even a zero-day exploit, is better than having the vulnerability be exploited under the radar by malicious actors. The existence of an exploit allows people affected by the vulnerabilit

Archlinux relies on a very small set of distro-specific tools, everything else is standard tooling and code pulled from upstream without any extra patches. It makes sense their docs can apply to the rest of the Linux world. The Archlinux wi

"Basic necessities" doesn't really lead to any kind of fulfilled life. It's but a safety network, a staging area to help people collect themselves and have another attempt at a better life. If living in such conditions i

Not the future. It's the present, and the reason behind this acquisition. I agree, it's a bit sad to see.

Isn't this a simplified version of what Rockefeller did with the oil market more than a hundred years ago? Drive out competition by financing any extra costs with profits from the markets where there's no competition. Such behavio

Indeed, and that's why staying behind is always an option. Driving is an activity governed by a set of regulations, but common sense is the glue that ties everything together. This includes when to bend or break rules. Kinda like progr

Any sensible driver on the road knows to prioritize a safe (aka quick) overtake maneuver over a prolonged one that keeps things under the speed limit. It's great if both things can be achieved. But if not, the two preferable options ar

Nothing more can be done until extensive and affordable level 3 autonomy comes around. This intelligent speed control is just a level 2 assistance feature that needs constant driver monitoring.

Check out pacman, the Arch Linux package manager, to see an extreme case of command overloading. It probably makes lots of sense from a conceptual point of view, but for users that simply use a very small subset of the tool, it can get a bi

Both Star Control II and Mass Effect create this sense of alien-ness, where you feel like you're really trying to deal with alien races using human concepts and, unless you can break out of that mold, you won't succeed. In SC2 thi

Yes, that's the main use case. I rearrange my desk depending on what I do, and going wireless makes that process much easier. Connecting a computer to my living room TV is also much easier, as I can easily use it from the couch.

I'm talking about the first Defy, back in 2010. It weighted 118 gr (just over 4 oz), more or less the same as its competitors.

The first Motorola Defy was a comparable device to its competitors when it was released, and its big feature, being water-resistant, didn't make any compromises apart from rubber caps on the ports (not necessary in modern phones) and a

People who interact with Spotify using the search feature as the entry point won't ever interact much with podcasts. The home screen, though, is filled with them. Given it's what every user sees when starting the app, it is indeed

If the iPhone mini is managing to capture all of the "I want a small flagship phone" market, it's worth it. As long as the Mini exists, it's impossible for other manufacturers to try and compete.

Bitcoin can inflate. It's just that in order to change the current agreement on what Bitcoin is and how it works, you need a majority of mining power to agree, but the Bitcoin community has been famously conservative and unwilling to a
