Thank you for this. I had given up on Python GUI frameworks a while ago. I tried this out and it lives up to its name. Dead simple and does the job.

I've been using Emacs for an entire 1 year and I have to say - I only like OrgMode. I've barely tried out Magit, so maybe that's another killer feature. But for programming, I think that Emacs is too steep a hill to climb whe

This! I have a highly underpowered laptop (which I bought brand new but at a very low cost for travel purposes) that I just didn't know what to do, because it was so damn annoying and awkward for any personal use. The keyboard was quit

I'm a huge fan of the first 2 plugins, but I didn't know about the per-directory history plugin. I might put that in my toolbox. Thanks for the recommendation!

I hate to say it, but I don't use workspaces. I use a number of window management keyboard shortcuts in place of it.

It's the best Ubuntu-based distro for desktop use!

"Fractional scaling does not work with the NVIDIA proprietary driver (bug 1870736, bug 1873403)." That's kind of a big deal for any desktop users with a high resolution display.

Bought this after seeing the pretty solid reviews here on this thread. I've been using VcXsrv with no problems thus far. But I really like that this project's website has nice documentation. Also, this works with no configuration

I would honestly just start out with either Spacemacs or Doom Emacs. There is a lot of information on these 'distributions' and many YouTube videos, as well. These 'distros' will allow you to quickly get a feel for the p

So then they can use MS Word or Wordpad (for a built-in and free option).

That might be a decent approach. I went with blocking some Windows 10 functionality via the hosts file. Many months later, I wanted to download the new Windows Terminal from the Microsoft store and I just could not figure out why the MS sto

Exactly my sentiments. Every time I use a different OS - any of those that you mentioned - I find tons of things to complain about that Windows does not suffer from. At the end of the day, most of these operating systems are awesome. But th

I think your last paragraph is key here. Go is a simple language, which makes it practical for large projects, with many collaborators, some of whom might be fresh out of school. Google must have benefited internally a lot by Go.

This was almost certainly a joke comment.

Those are great recommendations - thanks! I was already a follower of the Sam Harris podcast, but the other two I did not know about.

I was a user of NPP for .. maybe 10 years. I finally gave Sublime another try just a few months ago and I'm full time convert. I'm not knocking on NPP but I think Sublime is a little bit more sleek. And it's cross-platform. T

Exactly how I see them. One of my favorite use cases of Sublime is the 'FilterPipes' command. You can use it to transform the text in numerous ways (such as converting case). You can even write your own text transformation logic i

From what I've seen, most people treat the university as a prerequisite to getting a decent job. Only a very small percentage actually treat all classes in a serious way. Most just skate by in a majority of classes that they deem to be

DisplayFusion is a great utility. I actually paid full price and I only use it for one purpose - window management. I have a few shortcuts I set up that allow me to manipulate the active window in multiple ways. I've set this up 2 year

What are the "interoperability" issues you're referring to? I'm a very happy user of Typora and I've, thankfully, not experienced any data losses. The only thing that keeps me from using it more is that it's no

Yes, but should people take on substantial debt to get a 'meaningful' degree that will not provide a real ROI? Studying fluffy majors is only logical for 1%ers, basically, because you don't really have to work for a living an

I don't see the point of ditching Notepad++. It's still an excellent text editor and it's more lightweight than VSCode. I use both and I'm very happy with it.

Exactly this. The fact that a few maps and weapons dominated CS is what made it so unique, because you were forced to learn those few maps and weapons in extreme detail. When people couldn't distract themselves with fancy, shiny other

You could connect to a TV, as well. Honestly, for actual IT/programming persons, such a set up is unlikely to be be exceptionally useful, but I could see using Ubuntu Linux on the phone in more modest ways. You could play a native Linu

This is why Samsung created the DeX docks. You connect your phone to the DeX device and then connect all the peripherals to the DeX pad: monitor (via HDMI), and mouse + kb.

It's no worse in discouraging your kids from pursuing YouTube stardom than it is to discourage them from trying to become a famous rapper. The odds are against them. In the end, it's probably not worth it.

Last I checked, the wait on Purism could be a long time. As far as cases go - why are you so against them? I put on a case and a screen protector on every phone I get. Obviously it hides the aesthetics, but it's just practical to have

Glad to hear you found a company you liked in the end.
