Same. I use hide (Cmd-H) most of the time because I want to hide the whole application, not a single window of the application. I also use Hide Others (Cmd-Option-H) to focus on a …

I specifically ordered the VESA iMac model because of both the limitations of height, etc, and the space on your desk that is freed up by using a mounting arm.

This is the instructions I followed which includes a link to tool to use: https://youtu.be/krRXGPUUjvU

There is a hack that allowed me to use the Nvidia web drivers on Mojave on my 2012 15" rMBP. Not sure if it works on Catalina. You have to reapply it every OS update. I don't think…

I have medium-to-high fan noise/RPM consistently when connected to an Apple TB display (2560x1440@60Hz), but it's much quieter when connected to a 2560x1600@60Hz monitor. So if it …

Sarno comes up because what he suggests works. It did for me back in 2001 when nothing else did.

I wish macOS would allow for PCI passthrough to VMs (like you can do on Linux via OVMF, using QEMU). I wish I could connect an eGPU and pass full access of it to my Linux VM (or Wi…

Agreed. I didn't immediately like OS X when I switched to it from Linux at home (and eventually Windows at work), but once I got the right set of 3rd party utilities (tiling app, k…

At work, we have some customers who want to use WebLogic and Websphere, and last time I checked those don't have versions that support anything beyond Java 8. I still use Java 8 ev…

If you have enough control of the server it resides on, one of the best things you can do is to deny it access to write to the PHP files of the Wordpress install (which requires th…

Assuming you meant specifically the Java language, Kotlin for JVM may also be a good option. Solid set of language features that puts it at least on par with C#, and allows you to …

Yes, though the PCjr had a version of the keyboard without the chiclet keys. Also either version was a minimal keyboard without separate function keys or num pad. I had the non-chi…

The iMac isn't even that great for aesthetics, at least if you VESA mount it and have a decent amount of external gear connected. I have the VESA-mount model of the 2017 27" iMac, …

I found out last year that 1GB RAM is not enough for TypeScript development (whose compiler runs on nodejs). I was building a fairly small TypeScript project on a Linux instance wi…

I'm also on an iPhone 7, and don't even really want a premium version of the iPhone SE, I just want an SE-sized phone with water resistance. If it had nicer specs (e.g. hardware on…

Reading Dr Sarno’s book “The Mindbody Prescription” was what cured me. There was no physical cause. I haven’t had issues since 2001, and I don’t do anything specific to address the…

I had a similar story that lead to Sarno's book. Going on 17 years now without issues.

Similarly, Dr. John Sarno's "The Mindbody Prescription" helped me after over a year of RSI. This happened early in my career, and I've been pain free for about 17 years now.

Both iPhone 7 models have OIS as well

I used Sarno's book to cure myself back in 2002 and this approach has been successful ever since. Occasionally I will have some issue (though rarely wrist pain), and I can make it …

Regarding Bluetooth/external keyboards: The last time I tried an iOS terminal app, iOS had limitations on many key combinations, such that I couldn't effectively use Emacs with nor…

I'm not sure how much success Android developers are having with this, but Retrolambda combined with streamsupport (java.util.stream) and ThreeTen (java.time) makes Java 8 on Andro…

Haven't tried this myself, but Swift compiles to Android: http://elementscompiler.com/elements/silver/

I also cured myself the same way over 12 years ago. Aaron Iba wrote up a good account of his experience which is very similar to mine: http://aaroniba.net/articles/tmp/how-i-cured-…

If you want to try Emacs running in Chrome (using NaCL): https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/naclports/builds/pe... You have to go to chrome://flags/ and enable "Native Client…
