> TM heavily throttles disk I/O used for backing up That makes sense, and I usually quite like that behavior. I barely ever notice an impact when backups are running. However, this…

I can't remember the exact phrasing, but are you talking about the error message that essentially says: "The Tardis is broken. Your backup has diverged into an entirely separate ti…

The best people I've worked with tended to go out of their way to make it as easy for me as possible to critique their ideas or implementations. They spelled out exactly their assu…

I never understood this argument. The checks in those pre-commit hooks would need to be very fast - otherwise they'd be too slow to run on every commit. Then why would it save time…

This is outside the context the "Open File" dialog from your original question, but here's another tip about "navigating up": In many application windows you can navigate the hiera…

Install it using an enterprise profile and enable the ExtensionManifestV2Availability flag: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43340358 Still works for me to this day, but this o…

On macOS: # defaults write com.google.Chrome.plist ExtensionManifestV2Availability -int 2 This will continue to allow MV2 extensions for your Chrome instance. Confirm the policy ha…

When mentoring a junior, I noticed he had an alias `gpf`, which he apparently picked up from another developer. I had a serious conversation with him, explaining that I'm not in th…

> Genuine question, how do you find DxO PhotoLab lacking when compared to LR? It's mostly their "no catalog" approach that irks me. From what I understand they use a model that doe…

Thank you for the recommendation! RAW Power is one that I actually didn't have on my radar, and it certainly looks very interesting. Maybe not as feature-rich as some of the heavy …

I am, intentionally so ;-) Because this mix is where Lightroom excels, and competing products just fall short. As an enthusiast or professional photographer you really need both, p…

The big issue with Affinity Photo is that it doesn't support non-destructive editing / a non-linear workflow like Lightroom does. It's not exactly a fair comparison, since AP direc…

I agree. A 30% overlap allows be to basically never have an automatic pano merge fail in LR. Though I rarely shoot panos full handheld, usually still from a tripod with at least a …

It depends. For some applications, sure. But especially when you're doing multi-row panoramas with long exposure times, preparation is key, and so is execution time. I often do mul…

This is a 30min talk that I keep coming back to: Python, Linkers, and Virtual Memory by Brandon Rhodes (Python core dev) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twQKAoq2OPE (Most of the co…

I saw David Weinberger's talk at Google [1] some 15 years ago, where he presented the ideas from his book (and bought the book afterwards). This is one of those videos I rewatch re…

CityEngine [1] does that. It's a procedural city generation engine first presented at SIGGRAPH 2001, by Procedural Inc., an ETH Zürich spinoff that was later acquired by ESRI (ArcG…

Version control can be a big help. Look through closed tickets in the issue tracker, and try to find a change (bugfix or new feature) that must have , given its nature, touched the…

Still worked for me yesterday. Temporarily "switched" to a yearly (paid monthly) InCopy subscription, and was able to cancel that about 5min later. If you don't get the "do you wan…

I tend to agree. Obviously automatic normalisation is the correct thing to do when doing arithmetic that crosses DST-rollover boundaries (this is what the Python stdlib gets wrong)…
