The main advantage of a curved monitor is that the viewing angle is closer to 90 deg which can help with colour uniformity. That being said, I think you are mostly thinking about t…

I came to say the same thing. The "build together" mode is super fun. Everybody can go at their own speed (without me dying inside watching my 7-year-old trying to figure out thing…

Yeah, I tried on an Intel MBP years ago when it was first launched. It was super slow, and I disregarded it. I just gave it a try on an M4 Pro; it's not instantaneous like Vimmium,…

It (partially) works, but only if the cursor is NOT hovering over the right portion of the window. So only 30% works.

The most puzzling part is why someone would run Windows 98 on a machine built around 2002/2003 (according to the specs).

100% I used to have a 43-inch 4K "monitor" (16:9). The lack of curvature meant that at the sides of the screen, there was noticeable color shifting due to variations in viewing ang…

I have a 40in 5k (32in 4k, but wider). IMHO, 138ppi is the bare minimum, but it really depends on a person's eyesight and preferences. I would love a large-ish ultra-wide with > 16…

Yes, I thought the same thing. My son loves Lego Mario and the app. He'll even go through the building instructions of kits he doesn't have just to see how they are built. The inst…

For me, on macOS, the main thing is that the subpixel layout is rarely the classic RGB (side by side) that macOS only supports for text antialiasing. If I were to use a TV, it woul…

It is possible to self-host it on GCS, S3, etc. We used to pay for their cloud offering, but using GCS as a backend was much more performant than using their backend and extremely …

In Emacs, there is [helm-ag-edit]( https://github.com/emacsorphanage/helm-ag ) (but uses ripgrep if present). It's almost identical to your workflow, but all done inside the same a…

Yes, I have used a similar Hammerspoon script for nearly 10 years.

+1 I've been using this for almost ten years. It's straightforward, easy to add files, and there are no symlinks to deal with. When people ask me which tool I use to manage my dotf…

If you enable PC Remote Function [1] it disables UMS so you don't need another cable/adapter plugged in. I notified the author and he updated the article. [1] https://helpguide.son…

My concern with this keyboard and others without F keys would be how awkward some IntelliJ keyboard shortcuts would be e.g: LayerX + cmd + shift + 9 to rebuild a file. There are mu…
