A quick glance at the documentation showed that you can write plug-ins to do such things as listening to all state changes (unless I misunderstood something). See the logging plugin example. Without a Chrome dev tools extension though I don

Me? Offended? By a lowly computer no less?? No way! You're the one that responded to my original post with accusations of strawmen bud :-) I guess we cemented that sucker in pretty good now though eh?

It's really not though. Can you yourself replace the battery or the SSD? If not, it's irreplaceable for all intents and purposes. Enjoy waiting for your work tool which puts food on the table while it's in the shop I guess. M

Every time I read one of these reviews it makes me so glad to be using a desktop PC with Manjaro. Things I need to do just all work for me, no surprise limitations, no worrying about how long an irreplaceable battery or SSD will last and no

Every system requires setup, but only Linux systems will remain exactly as you have set them up year after year, if you wish. During the last 2 years, out of all the Linux, Mac and Windows systems in my house - the Macs have been the only s

Are macs still shipping with severely outdated CLI tools? 10 years ago, Mac users just got the ability to resize a window by any edge or corner... How's that really good window management system working out for ya? It's shocking

For offline apps, WebSQL would have been awesome. Thanks to some ivory tower types at Mozilla we can't have it [1]. We got SQLite in a computer on Mars but apparently that's not enough to base a web standard around because some pe

Clearly that's incorrect though. We're only seeing legalization of socially acceptable drugs. Tech has nothing to do with it. Nobody is fighting for meth, cocaine and heroine to become legal in the US. We also have plenty of prost

Bad laws were the problem, caused by societal pearl clutching. The prohibition of alcohol was solved by repealing it, not by cars and machine guns. If cars and machine guns solved prohibition, then no substance would have ever been prohibit

I'm an expert in paranoia. You should not be concerned if there's nothing you can do about it. If you think you can do something, focus on that instead. In any case, don't be too concerned.

I guess people who want to avoid paying will start packing more frames into a file now? I wonder if there's a limit to how many things you can put into one file... (EDIT: Someone mentioned it below - you're limited to 3 "page

Legally, you can run macOS anywhere you want. Apple cannot and has not stopped anyone from doing that. There is no court of law anywhere which will prevent an end-user from doing what they want with macOS. However, you most certainly are pa

Oh yeah SSMS was one thing I missed. Switching to Azure Data Studio was slightly painful since it didn't handle big SQL files as well and the UI was generally a bit slower, especially with large result sets. However, I forgot to mentio

I hate to break it to you but that's largely the way the world works. But, we haven't had any issues with using localStorage. Probably mainly because we are not a huge target. Nobody is going to write a chrome extension to try to

I just do work stuff on my Linux machine and play stuff on my Windows machine. Couldn't be happier! I've been running Manjaro Linux on 3 workstations for over 2 years now and, as a web developer who does mostly Node/React&#x2

Meh. Working at a consulting shop I've seen hundreds of apps built with tokens stored in the big bad localStorage. It's easy, it works and if you don't load scripts from untrustworthy sources then there is no attack vector ou

Lots of people think that's the media's job. There's a meme going around showing some rich wall street tycoons sitting in their office watching the Occupy Wall Street protesters from years ago with a speech bubble saying: &qu

This is simply not true. Look around on some popular website comments. There are plenty of people singing the praises of the new Microsoft Edge. Personally I can't wait until it's fully released for Linux so that I can use it. I j

I would like people to form co-ops to do the same. Everything in their life can be supplied by the company. Recently I found out about a movement called Anarcho Syndicalism, so I guess I'm an anarchist? I don't know, I just want t

After CSV files as virtual tables, I'd like to see folders of JSON files as virtual tables. I know there's a whole virtual filesystem kit based around SQLite but what I want is simpler.

All of my Macs have been way more problematic than my Windows and Linux systems. Certain keyboards and mice don't even work on a Mac, so good luck with that. My Mac Pro 2012 wouldn't even boot unless a dual link DVI cable was plug

The Microsoft taskbar has always had the most prominent feature of the dock: Allowing you to organize and launch apps from a bar on the left/right/bottom of your screen. Prior to Windows 7 though, you could only add shortcuts to t
