Reminds me of the time our “security” team fought with me for a year to fix an issue in a third-party dependency that was failing their scanners. The issue was only a problem for a…

There’s red flags I look for in articles like this, and a FreeBSD partition on your MacBook Pro is one of them. Tells me the author is probably hypercritical of MacOS because it’s …

One of my favorite actors of all time. If you haven’t seen it, watch The Dish.

If they’ve never completed a single project in 20 years, yes.

I found a local store that specializes in used movies on DVD, BluRay, 4K discs and video games from Atari to PS5. I’ve started picking up hard copies of everything so I’m (a) not t…

Their first demonstration reactor is scheduled to go online in 2031. But they’re going to build 8 production reactors, with all the regulatory hurdles, in any reasonable length of …

Not a phone, but I use my old first gen AirPods Pro with my Windows laptop for work just fine using Bluetooth. I haven’t had any problems at all with them. One thing I did was comp…

Don’t forget Fire in the Valley.

Or just develop your app on macOS and run it on Linux. I’ve been doing that ever since OSX came out and had no problems. Worst case these days I have a virtual machine build an app…

If you're having meetings about meetings, you're not doing scrum or agile. You're probably trapped in "agilefall."

I think you’re missing the underlying point. The Zig team is focused on the contributor and their relationship to the project, not on the correctness of the work. People, not produ…

And here I thought I was doing well at 47979. That was January 2009, so not too bad.

Not to mention a culture of basically one-line packages ad infinitum. I downloaded a JS tool the other day to generate test reports and it had around 300 dependencies. Needless to …

I have no information to back this up or suggest this isn't anything but anecdotal, but from my perspective, we have a Federal government that stopped promoting the well-being of i…

I’ve been using Macs for development for 20 years, and even on a small laptop screen I don’t expand windows to fill the screen. So I guess, yes, there are a few weirdos out there a…

The Neutrino collector bit was interesting, but the best part of this video is seeing the joy in her eyes educating the rest of us about science again.

I didn’t want to be that guy, but pretty much same boat. M3 Max, no issues, no reboots except for updates. Everything seems fine. I wonder if there’s an issue with older M-series c…

The language in the bill says operating system “or” application store. Isn't that then implying any operating system that would download applications, even if it doesn’t come from …

Someone already mentioned NPR. BBC also does a great job reporting on US and international issues. New York Times still does strong reporting. And there are local sources too, such…

Recall is a bloated waste of time that completely misses the point. Why not instead let me snapshot a set of apps and docs/projects that are open, then snapshot a different set of …

Anyone who says with LLMs coding is over wasn’t that good at coding to begin with.

I love how we want to trim macOS down. I totally get it. I open Activity Monitor and think, "WTF?" At the same time, my current job requires I use a Windows laptop, and I have to a…

That’s kind of funny you mention “quicker way to make a PPT.” Everyone at my company had been asking me how I make my presentations look so good. I’m no designer; I’m a lowly engin…

I’d love to work for a company like this, but when you said, “by the time we finished our doctorates,” I knew you were way out of my league.
