    Is it possible to introduce a trial? I'd want to make sure that the features work as described and am curious how smooth this works when not using your Macbook often. Like whether …

    I've always been interested in these fintech APIs but wonder what competitive advantages the companies that build on this have compared to one another. What differentiates a compan…

    It might be worth mentioning LiteralStrings from [PEP 675]( https://peps.python.org/pep-0675/ ) and how you should use them to prevent SQL injections. I'm not sure this blog adds m…

    Why not use QMK [1]? Both of the author's keyboards (Anne Pro 2 and a TADA68) support QMK, there's a lot more to do with QMK, and it's on the keyboard itself. [1]: https://qmk.fm/

    That is a very pessimistic way to view and discredit someone else's great achievement. I can definitely say that at least in Belgium, it is very possible to do this as a middle cla…

    I think this is due to how car dependent North America is. There are so many aspects that are missed in these pictures or what you are for example experiencing. It's not that you'r…

    > You can currently find over 90 curated apps in AppCenter, [...] I don't think this is as impressive as they think it is. On the contrary, this seems to be a very very small numbe…

    Definitely agree! I would recommend the YouTube channel "Not Just Bikes" which has a series about the book Strong Towns and in general focuses on better city planning: https://www.…

    I am currently using Yabai without disabling system protection as my company would not approve of disabling system protection. I wish many of its features were possible without it.…

    Those all seem like features any modern programming language has. Nothing here particularly distinguishes PHP from the rest of the crowd. I don't think anyone is surprised by the f…

    From what I hear, this isn't only about repairing iPhones. In a previous court proceedings the man was ordered to remove the logos from Apple because he imported the parts from Chi…

    You can use networkd to make it easier, if you like using systemd that is.

    Too bad that the owner/maintainer doesn't really like an open API. The only way to interact with the backend seems to be using the cli or trying to figure out the API yourself.

    No, Go does not need this and I do not want it to get these useless "features". Go is simple and it gets things done with an amazing standard library. Use a different programming l…

    This looks interesting. For now I've been using the + suffix on my G Suite account: name+alias@example.com. The only downside to this is the fact that some websites don't have prop…

    I tried to use tmux as a terminal multiplexer on sway just so I could make it remember a setup of terminals for specific projects. That way I could simply do `tmux-command start pr…

    Could we talk about how horrible Tumblr's "privacy form" is? It is literally impossible to decline.

    I wholeheartedly agree with you. I'm not using another email client because I don't want a dumbed down version. I simply want a less buggy and faster feeling Thunderbird. Just some…

    Am I wrong to think that Thunderbird development still seems so slow? As far as I understand, they put a new team in charge. But since January this is the first new release and it …

    I've used them all: Postman, Insomnia, Paw, and other online web apps. Unfortunately none come close to being usable for large APIs imo. Some of the problems I faced off the top of…
