i3 and its Wayland port sway are the best things that have happened to UX.

What I hate about Gnome is that it's almost perfect but its paradigm includes huge huge window borders. Oh well, on the plus side there's an actually perfect desktop out there alre…

Spotify snatching exclusive podcasts made me quit Spotify for music as well. That's a grab that I do not tolerate. This further cements the fact that IPO is a near certain death se…

Why do you use Laravel instead of just plain php files?

Currently probably because M1 is absurdly better than the competition. They will certainly draw users away from Linux unless either this porting effort gets done, or unless other A…

Rectangle is pretty great, thanks for that pointer. I've been trying all kinds of tiling wms on MacOS, but they just don't quite work in this world -- since they're unable to do ev…

I don't think anyone should downvote expressing an opinion, at least when it's done without toxicity like you did. Ok, that "delusion" remark was a bit toxic. But anyway. Here's my…

This might have been true in the past when corporations were more limited. However, as corporations grow, their power is becoming ad hoc equivalent to those of the state. You will …

Oh we respond. Mainly negatively.

Was Afghanistan America's during these 20 years? American taxpayers must be thrilled about this little trip.

Did you run Linux or Windows on it? > Sold it and got an M1. For compile, programming etc. tasks its 2-3x faster. You mean the M1 is? That seems slightly incredible. 20-50% improve…

Wait, what is arrogant? Having a government that orders people directly? Or not understanding such a government?

What the Chinese do is different in that when the government orders the people to do something, they actually do it. Depending on what you think about the virtues of government, th…

This is of course a joke, come on you guys. Nobody seriously compares jailing people to blocking them on social media.

Well, yes, sort of. Threatening to murder a public figure (or worse, murdering) is terrorism in the way that it discourages others to become public figures. Which in turn gnaws on …

You're joking, of course. I suppose the downmods are because it's a slightly distasteful joke.

>Without it the same type checks still have to be done, but this time by humans. Nah, they don't have to be done. Most programmers using dynamic languages just don't think about ty…

Are we really against preventing serious crimes against public figures? Is that what freedom and privacy is about? I mean I get the possibility of slippery slope, and I get what pr…

That's only true if your team is miraculously self-sufficient. Also, good managers don't need offices.

That's a great idea: give us more reasons not to take the vaccine. Or are they just gonna fire them?

I've been on the fence, but this article and discussion convinced me that I will certainly buy the iphone 13 mini when it comes out. Thanks for that.

Rust truly is a better C++.

Not Lisp?

Syntax is almost completely irrelevant.

Rust in Linux has a known constantly showing negative consequence: it introduces another language to the stack. Furthermore, Rust is quite different from C. This makes the whole ma…
