An example of this that I noticed just recently: Here's the doc for a deprecated `launch` method of `Process`: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/process... . It'…

I use Newsblur[1] in the browser. The best part of Newsblur for me, is its intelligence trainer. Suppose you want feeds from website A, but don't want certain stories tagged with "…

Conversely, the introduction of News+ and the overwhelming amount of News+ exclusive articles made me delete the app entirely. At least with Apple Music, I could turn the features …

WSJ tested some of these scenarios: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7xI2dUPN3A Seems very hard to trigger inadvertently, so it makes sense to me that they use an algorithm that fa…

I use two banks. Schwab for checking, as others have said, they’re excellent. Discover for savings for that 2% interest. I’ve tried other online only banks, ally for instance. But …

Agreed, I don't get the ligature craze recently. They look ugly, and sometimes, they don't accurately reflect an operation most of the time, for instance when you use operator over…

That is definitely not true. In fact, performance has gotten slightly better for me on my 2013 MacBook Pro, especially after the Metal/APFS upgrade after High Sierra. And I’ve been…

Does the iMac possibly have a HDD rather than an SSD (which your custom PC probably has)? The SSD makes a huge difference in response time. It’s the only reason I’m still using my …

I know a lot of people have mentioned that they have transitioned to using the iPad and even making it their main computer but having owned and daily use an iPad Pro (the 10.5 inch…

> The problem is that pbpaste and pbcopy do not work under tmux They do in recent macOS/tmux versions. You don't need reattach-to-user-namespace anymore. These are my keybindings f…

Just a small registration fee of $5400 [1]! [1]: https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results.aspx?...

I've been using MiniHack as my HN app, and while it has its issues (most frustratingly, the popup that notifies me that I've just upvoted/downvoted a comment), it's the most featur…

Shift+Tab always worked in the Terminal for me since Vim 7.3. What Terminal are you using?

Note that ProtonMail paid $6000 ransom to hackers: https://arstechnica.com/security/2015/11/crypto-e-mail-servi... I applaud their privacy stance, but paying ranson money to hacker…

For Obj-C fans though, named arguments are one of its best features. Yes, more verbose, easy to decipher, and led to great API design. For the first versions of Swift, they actuall…

Swift has both external and internal parameter names for functions. This is to make API design more readable, easier to parse through. For example, you can have a function like so:…

Personally, I find that just having "0..count" requires a bit of thinking on my part trying to decide if it's inclusive or not. "0..<count" instantly tells me that it's not includi…

Did you try tig [1]? I prefer the command line solution to shoving complicated things and UI (which fugitive is -- I could barely remmeber all the features I had and like you, I on…

I'm curious. The homebrew formula seems to just download emacs from the main GNU repository. So what makes emacsformacosx better? The website doesn't seem to explain this.

It's really not about which package manager is better. The fact of the matter is apt is "good enough" (as toyg mentions below) and more importantly, it's the ubiquity of the packag…

Ubuntu being debian based is a huge reason for me. Apt is both more familiar and easier to use than yum/dnf, at least for me, but I'm sure for many others as well since most of the…

I've debated getting an external drive. Thunderbolt drives are still too expensive compared to USB3 ones. And I do like the fact that I don't need to carry an external drive with m…

The 2013 15" Retina Macbook Pro Got it to upgrade from a 2008 15" Macbook Pro in 2013, and it's still running like a champ. I only really upgrade my laptops every five years and it…

I made a plugin [1] similar to this which offers more options when you press the Tab key. For instance, if you're typing a file path, you get Ctrl-X Ctrl-f completion (vim's file p…
