I've found bin[0] to be great (and simple) to manage binaries released via github, specifically those tools not already available via macports and ones for which I'm too lazy to wr…

Looking at their about[0] page, it seems like Typogram is a company started by the person who also created Coding Font. That might explain the "by Typogram" label. [0] https://typo…

I’ve not read this book, so can’t offer a comparison but Thorsten Ball’s two books [1] are great. The dragon book was my textbook in college, brings back memories, might be outdate…

Is it Sweet Transit? The about section mentions that the developer was part of Factorio. Edit to add link - https://www.sweettransitgame.com/

It's a term borrowed from assembly lines(0), where if the andon cord is pulled, the entire line stops until some manager or the likes inspects and restarts it. For amazon, the equi…

Really hoping the native app survives. Thanks for the great app! I’ve been a user for a long time and hope to remain so.

Paw[0] is a pretty good native macOS option, at least for now. They were acquired sometime last year by RapidAPI[1], and since have released electron based versions of their app fo…

Interesting, I never played much games but the WASD keys sounds like a really good reason why some may type '6' with the left hand.

If MSFT released a cherry MX version of this keyboard, and moved the 6 key to the right hand cluster, it'd be an instant buy from me. I learned touch typing with 6 on the right sid…

A few libraries in the Java world have this model. They haven't produced unicorns but seem to be pretty stable businesses - jOOQ(1), hibernate(2) etc. I'm researching DB libraries …

Docker for mac is ridiculously bad to use. We use build containers at work, and Big Sur definitely gets mad at the VM activity & the high disk activity. My 2019 15" i9 MBP sounds l…

Checkout jooq(1) for a SQL DSL in Java. I've used it with MySQL and love it. Trying to convince my employer for the paid version with RDS. [1] http://www.jooq.org/

Metafilter.com has a $5 one time sign up fee and a waiting period for similar reasons. That discouraged posting useless questions that plagued Yahoo Answers. Used to be a good, use…

This post[0] by Tim Dettmers should help. Reading through the article, it seems like he covers a lot of ground and lays out choices quite well. tl;dr is that only Nvidia is your be…

Since you mentioned DataGrip, it seems like IDEA has this capability built in - [0]. You may need the Ultimate version. In that case, the $5/month really comes down to the collabor…

That's interesting, did not know about the carbon to cocoa move, couldn't afford anything Apple back then :) If both platforms had to handle such migrations, I guess it's only fair…

I don't do any desktop development or use Windows much for that matter, but it looks like as of today, there are at least 4 ways [0] to build Windows desktop apps. No wonder the UX…

This is terrifying! At least with Google's fiber, you have to buy their connection for them to spy on you. With sidewalk, who knows how much data Amazon can scoop up just by device…

Cmd+Shift+ - i.e '[' and ']' switch to the previous and next tab respectively I use this a lot, but is missing from this page. I'm pretty sure I didn't have to customise it in the …

This is consistency in UX is what keeps me from switching to linux full-time for my personal rig. I would assume the keyboard UX would be a low-lying fruit. I'm hoping someone with…

MOTD - message of the day, it's the small text blurb that's printed when you start a new shell instance on linux or mac computers. Not sure if it's a thing on windows. Readline ref…

There's also kadhi[1], which interestingly is not the same dish as the Tamil 'kari'. 1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadhi

Or a business can decide to stay in the city, but work out a way to offset the costs, reducing annual raises or reducing bonuses etc. Hopefully this law does bring in some much nee…
