You have a non-touchpad mouse on a dock there that you're plugging into? If so, you can stop this kind of annoyance by setting scrollbars permanently on (or off) rather than auto in System Prefs->General. Actually, try it anyway as

In theory, if you're worried about SIM hijacking, you could use something like Skype SMS, and secure your access to Skype by 2FA on the associated Live account. Perhaps there are services to choose from as well, but, I'd take grea

The greatest thing about this comment (besides being a fact and a very valid point) is that it comes second after a bunch of apparent Americans fighting over why the penny can’t or shouldn’t be removed as though nobody knows what it would r

It’s up there. Well, kinda. The eGPU asks for all of the PCIe bandwidth available on its TB3 controller, actually, it asks for it twice, once for the video and once for the audio devices. But in reality it requires far less. For one, the en

I used a tiling window manager years ago when I ran Linux as my main OS. I’ve used similar third party tools to try to get... a similar effect on macOS but it always falls apart. In the long run, I more greatly value the software I get to u

Have you ever seen Yelp reviews for car salespeople? Recruiters are the used car salespeople of the hiring world. There’s no point in a review system where everyone averages out to 0 stars.

I don’t know of any stock dealers using kubernetes, but, maybe I’m just out of the loop. No, I’m a developer, I work in, I dunno what you want to call it, Machine Learning Data Engineering? Stuff like that. I use seven displays because I li

This and other similar things are so often and easily ignored. I see people talking about Macs not supporting pro use. But hey, tell me, how am I going to power my 6 external displays on a Surface product of any kind? I get that people want

You are thinking too conventionally. There are numerous ways to attack USB devices that don’t involve the OS. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/heres-a-list-...

The more disturbing side effects are rare, but very very serious. I would consider the drug for, say, shingles. But not a chance for a cold sore that’s nothing but a minor nuisance for a few days: https://www.drugs.com/sfx&#

Dude, that seems insane to me. Maybe you haven’t ever dived into the possible side effects of anti virals. But maybe you should? The risk/reward ratio of such a drug for cold sores is extremely poor.

I think the mistake here is that you think “purposeful study” and “pick up metaskills as you hack away at your project” are not both examples of (potential) deliberate practice. What makes either one deliberate or not is whether you make a

The point is the trait hasn’t been lost at all. If people with this problem had a kid and fed them hard foods from the get go then, supposedly, they would grow the larger jaw and not have the problem with cramped teeth.

It’s a common, and I believe very fair criticism of the title “Software Engineer” that there is nowhere near the rigor and requirements that “real” engineers (structural engineers, mechanical engineers) must deal with. There’s no licensing.

Consider an alternative theory: the vinegar is a digestive aid (just like pineapple) and your root cause or part of it is, in fact, indigestion. I only suggest this because I found indigestion to be the one and only consistent cause to hear

The best summary is an example. Prior to the GPP muscling, ASUS sold both nVidia and AMD cards under its ASUS brand, using sub-brands like ROG, nonsense branding terms like Strix, etc. But they were all ASUS on the box. After capitulating t

Haven't looked into it for a while, but, it used to undermine the JIT compiler to use multiple return statements in a single method in Java. That said, I entirely disagree with the premise. I find it vastly easier to reason about a fun
