I basically stopped paying attention to the progress of this feature when it was announced it would use header files. I don't expect I'll use it. I think it might be worth the headache with libraries - I think type errors are more

I’m largely guessing here, but I think at least one aspect of the hardware contributing to this is the M1 shares the same RAM for the CPU & GPU. Normally that’s not the case, so a display change requires recalculating the display buffer

Lenovo is selling several of the new T series Thinkpads with Ryzen chips. IHMO something like the T14s is pretty comparable to an XPS, but I don't know what your evaluation criteria are, and I have a personal preference for Thinkpads,

I would hope that most people's production images are being built & pushed to an image repository in CI, not from somebody's laptop. A lot of the official base images on Docker Hub are dual architecture now (both x86-64 and ar

I don't think this critique applies to restyled - it's free for use on open source repos, but costs money for private repos. Which is a pretty standard arrangement for SaaS dev tools that I think makes it pretty clear your data is

Amazon does not need to make a profit off of books, for a variety of reasons. It can therefore sell them at a much narrower margin, or no margin, or even a loss. Other booksellers generally don't have the many additional sources of fun

I don't disagree, but as an aside I think the references to that Star Trek episode (which I've been seeing a lot lately) is interesting. I find it amusingly ironic that the most effective way to describe the growing tendency to co

In my experience a mixed approach can be valuable, but I think whatever approach is taken the real key is to build it in such a way that it's not an individual test's responsibility to clean up either before or after - it's e

The NYPL is a big library system! Currently it seems they have at least 166 copies of Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone[0]. Probably more: I think these are only the copies of the standard edition, and they also seem to have a fe
