In the United States, Reform Judaism rejects the concept that any rules or rituals should be considered necessary for conversion to Judaism. In the late 19th century, the Central C…

Recently I purchased a fully upgraded 2015 mbp retina 13" which has a 2.9GHz Broadwell and a 512GB SSD in it. It's definitely not the fastest but considering I only paid 450€ for i…

JavaScript seems like the wrong choice here for a number of reasons. I would never use this for a commercial real-time application.

I've begun coding with embedded rust, it's actually really refreshing to use a modern toolset & language in an embedded environment

We are fucked either way. Google isn't any better.

My OnePlus 5t USB-C port wore out within a year, this never happened to other ports.

Same. Growing up I was fascinated by the US but now I will avoid visiting there for as long as I can, mainly because it seems like such an insane, dangerous place

My main gripe with apple is their tactics around subscription fees. You can't direct your customers to sign-up via your website, circumventing apple to receive a 30% discount. Ulti…

Sorry but as an Australian, Australia and backbone are two words that shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

Sure that method works up until a certain point, but with the size of apple now it becomes anticompetitive. I mean, 30% app subscription fees, & not being allowed to tell your cust…

Gains credibility from me - a person who lives their lives holistically rather than by a predefined formulation

Systematic corruption of Australia's political class

One thing to remember is you also pay for the software. MacOS is a great operating system. I personally made the switch to Linux full-time a year ago, it works pretty well, but sof…

Correct, the hot module reloader uses websockets to do this

Gnome should be annexed by KDE so there is some focus in the community. KDE is faster, more feature rich with a sensible architecture, but it still is flawed. No sensible defaults,…

Smart move by Microsoft. Own GitHub, own open source.

Gotta agree with this. MacBook touchpads are phenomenal compared to the competition

Oh man that brings me back!

I recommend trying out other distributions. While I like the convenience of Ubuntu, it's got some clear downsides like poor package management & a bloated install. Not to mention t…

My main concern with Linux on the mobile is needing to use crucial apps that don't exist. Sure you could use a browser for a lot of things, but Banking sites often require 2FA with…

I don't think it would shift the preexisting linux desktop user base, most of us use it for philosophical reasons. Linux desktop keeps getting better and better, aside from general…

Iterm2? There are amazing terminal apps for Linux. Look at Kitty.

Proper notification and sound customisations are needed in iOS badly. Can't turn off the dial tone or batch notifications together (e.g. max 1 notification per 5 minutes) is really…

It's also very easy to implement your own client side encryption methods with wrappers around service provider APIs. Sure they may be private APIs but if people are desperate libra…
