For those of you with March Madness brackets (specifically on ESPN), my friend and I made a site that simulates the tournament thousands of times to show you: - every bracket's cha…

The $10/mo is for a subscription to Setapp, which bundles a bunch of apps into one subscription service.

I'd also recommend Neovim[0], a community-led fork of Vim. One of the focuses of Neovim is exposing an API that lets other apps embed a headless instance in their UIs. This lets yo…

I feel like the keyboard issue is the prime example of why companies shouldn't have monopolies on who runs their OS. Sure on the one hand, they control everything and when things w…

It's essentially encrypted text, which Git handles just fine.

I actually do this with the subkeys I put on my Yubikey, and thanks to the NFC capability, I can use it on Android. I've been wanting to switch to a Yubikey with USB-C, since both …

I use pass[0], which is essentially just a wrapper on top of Git and GPG. All your secrets are stored in text files that are then encrypted by your GPG key, which is then tracked i…

I find it funny that Apple themselves mentions that for "Reader" apps users can make purchases outside of the iOS environment, but developers are expressly forbidden from even ment…

What about a physical killswitch goes against Apple's design? The iPhone has always had a ringer/vibrate switch on its side since it was introduced. Obviously it doesn't do anythin…

Just checked, calc fails at 11^0.41703 (curiously not at 41703, but 41704, maybe a floating point thing). Maybe it changes base to e and uses the Taylor series for e^x, but fails i…
