I'm struggling a bit on what my next laptop will be. Apple owner since I don't know when, currently on a late 2013 MBP. It's still going but I suspect it doesn't have a vast amount of life left. Every few months I lose a

I met my girlfriend on Bumble. We have a great relationship, now almost a year in. Bumble, Tinder etc. are only tools, it's how we use them and plenty of us are quite capable of using them in a "moral" and savoury way. So it&

Not really, closer to reddit. But prettier, which is why I used to use digg over reddit "back in the day".

It sounds to me less like a problem with the technology but more with your habits and self discipline. If Slack is interrupting you then why not just close it? And don't open it until you actually need it. Another alternative will only

Who really wants to fully customise their system? I'm not interested in spending time and effort customising my OS, I'd rather use that time to do work or use my laptop for entertainment. I'd rather it works proficiently out

Seconding simplenote. Works across platforms (macos and android for me) plus web. Doesn't do anything clever, other than markdown integration and basic tagging, but what it does works well.

I'd probably suggest debugging being one of the main killer features. I'm not a VS/VSCode user but I am a Sublime Text and PhpStorm user. You can debug in Sublime Text but I'm not sure you'd want it to be your prima

How about those in the arts as a profession? I don't think they'd have a successful career if they didn't love their job. I think they'd produce pretty abysmal art.

I certainly realise that developers (or other employees) aren't, and likely will never be, paid the same despite where they live. I accept that is the reality, however is it reasonable ? I don't believe it is at all reasonable to

Isn't it? Given a situation with two developers working remotely with exactly the same skills, experience and knowledge on the same project, but one works in India, the other one works in the Bay area. Can you give me one valid reason

Chef Ramsey makes a cake, everyone has a slice and says it's the tastiest and best looking cake they've ever had. Jamie Oliver comes along and says "No, no! You're wrong, it's not a tasty cake and it looks terrible,

Do you not think that if everyone is saying it has a great UX and it's easy to use then perhaps it does have a great UX and is easy to use?

The book recommendations had pretty specific titles, it wasn't Amazon sending "book recommendations". You mustn't have read that bit in the article otherwise you wouldn't have made this comment.

We have a bunch of projects that are stored in a mercurial repo so I've been using Sourcetree for that as I've found MacHG pretty unusable. I think it's pretty good, not as good in my opinion (the UI, mainly) as Tower for Mac

Ah, you're quite right. I was under the impression it was FOSS - I used it a while ago, preferred Tower and so went back to that.

By and large, git is easy to use. Most people will do little beyond committing changes and very occasional branching and merging with the likelihood of not needing any of the tips in the site posted. For these users, git is perfectly useabl

If you're on a mac, I can't recommend Tower enough. It's a paid app but well worth the money. Otherwise Git Kraken is a foss offering that is also excellent.

With all due respect, I think this says a lot about you if you honestly equate boredom as pre-smartphones. Millions upon millions of us led a boredom-free life prior to the smart and/or cellular/mobile phone. And there's far
