Cramming an api for one product on top of another is absolutely not “the open source way” I’d expect a much better explanation for this Frankenstein’s monster. This seems like it w…

why are people afraid of modern text editors? Why cling to 1980s technology?

while I agree VS Code is starting to get a lot of traction, it's far from the only solution for polyglot development (IntelliJ...) and it certainly has the facilities to support la…

Anybody know the energy usage of the different chips?

I guess I should feel ripped off by Nissan since I have a cookie cutter SUV. 4 wheels, the trunk has a 3rd row that pops up on demand, I can switch into 4 wheel drive. I did get to…

The mother is probably a she ;-)

Seriously dishonest and outdated as well. I love linux but I spend much more time installing things and tweaking my linux boxes than I do my Mac. Linux is awesome for the geek comm…
