I agree but sadly that's eroding. They're starting to let advertisers into the walled garden and it's becoming too big for them to ignore it. That will only get worse and then one …

"There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses" - Bjarne Stroustrup

That's a fascinating concept and interesting story but I didn't see it told in either the movie or the YouTube shorts. There's tons of little pieces you've referenced but neither r…

But they should do something. The first 1 hour or so was very well done and engaging, but then it just wraps up all of the sudden without digging into or addressing any of the topi…

I watched the YouTube series and didn't notice anything specific that it added or answered. It provided a bit more context about ASync, but that wasn't really a core part of the mo…

But how accurate are humans? I just picked up a print out of medical history for the last 5 years and it was thick enough to be a book. There's no way a human is reading all of tha…

There was probably a lot going on behind closed doors, but from the outside, it appeared that RedHat was trying to improve the security and technical details of containers, but Doc…

Arrogance was what actually killed them. They picked fights with Google and RedHat and then showing up at conferences with shirts that said "we don't accept pull requests" tipped t…

I've been working with Intel to fix an issue in recent GPU drivers that prevents HEVC playback from working and I believe that's the real issue here rather than the licensing concl…

I don't believe that's true. If you pin to a hash, then it will always run that version and can't change

This feels like a very sudden abrupt change and breaking the build for all old branches/tags feels so odd for such a critical component of the build process for GitHub Actions

Once they get a MacBook Air with an M4, it will become a viable option for developers and other users that want/need 2 external monitors. Definitely looking forward to that happeni…

I haven't seen price info anywhere, but anyone have info on what that will be?

The sensor support added to watchOS 10 is really nice and the live displays of cycling stats in iOS 17 has made it so I can use my phone for stats and feedback while on bike rides

What’s your thought on that air quality monitor released by Amazon? I’d love to see the cost come down even more, but it looks like the most affordable option on the market right n…

The Brian Kernighan quote explains this very simply: Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, yo…

Shameless plug for a project I'm proposing to do the opposite (i.e. run Linux binaries from a container on macOS natively): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/davejohansen/cider-…

Several other approaches have been posted about on that GitHub issue and others, so I thought letting people know about a potential solution would be ok...
