iMessage, Apple Pay (w/Touch ID), native Apple Music client, iCloud (if you're invested in the iCloud ecosystem) along with its seamless integrations with photo apps like Photomato…

The massive amount of transitive dependencies is exactly the problem with regard to auditing them. There are successful businesses built solely around auditing project dependencies…

I’m not complaining, I’m pointing out facts. If the facts offend you, that’s your problem. Ignore them if you wish.

Yes, the XZ attack affected Fedora nightly and Debian testing and unstable. Yes, it got caught before it made it into a stable distribution (this time). https://www.redhat.com/en/b…

Sequel Ace is the forked and actively developed version of Sequel Pro. I don't think the owners of Sequel Pro ever announced it was abandoned, but the GitHub repo's lack of what ap…

It doesn't matter if it's _more_ stable. It is stable, it's backed by commercial support from the same company that produces it and there is a financial incentive for that same com…

Simple static sites are great ideas. Writing HTML/CSS and not relying on a WYSIWYG back-end editor is an awesome way to work, especially if you're using a templating engine to gene…

The C# support in VSCode is kinda piss poor unless it's changed significantly in recent months. Last time I used it to try to work on a small project I ended up abandoning it and u…

Believe FA5 has (optional) css shims for version 4, even the free version. Not sure about the upcoming version 6.

I'm sure that as this is developed it will get easier, but looking over the docs at the various ways to use these makes, for example, Font Awesome look like a walk in the park. The…

I was a mail administrator for around 10 years in a fairly small business and I can’t imagine why anyone would want to host their own email. My old employer contacted me because a …

It seems sensational because the media has purposely done so just like this NYT headline. It’s almost as sensational as saying “people are going to die over it.” Of course they are…

A ton of attention initially was given to safety (I mean large swaths of the country shut down and there’s plenty of business that still hasn’t reopened) however the sensationalist…
