    For anyone interested in a single-body, low-profile mechanical keyboard with a split layout, checkout PERIBOARD-335. Highly recommend it.

    I highly doubt that. Photoshop, even for 95% of users, is pretty heavy on non-destructive editing. GIMP did not have that for a very long time and is no where near feature parity t…

    At this point, I am thinking about connecting a stock Android phone to a server and access it via scrcpy from my laptop whenever I need to interact with some stupid app bs that cou…

    Yeah, in my field this approach is pretty much infeasible. Typically, I am given an ancient code base that is full of bad decisions, hard to read code and no tests in sight. Someti…

    It's not that people are _still_ using debuggers; it's that people have actually discovered debuggers and workflows that are more productive than adding print statements, recompili…

    I'd argue reflection is very much a feature for libraries. You wouldn't use it directly, but your JSON / YAML serialize is then built on top of it. So are your bindings for scripti…

    IIRC Ubuntu provided this when they introduced Unity -- quite a long time ago. When the window is maximized the menubar was merged into the top panel, but when the window was not m…

    I've been wondering about debug-ability of code using reflection. X-Macros are quite annoying to step through in most debuggers, though possible. While the code in the first exampl…

    The panel itself is not the problem, it's the lack of integration with windows. In GNOME, when you maximize a window, the title bar stacks underneath the top bar. If that window al…

    I commonly hear people saying that, but then other people claiming this isn't true. Is there a clear source for this mechanism?

    DXVK works great for DirectX 11. However, it's rather annoying to debug through this intermediate layer. I wouldn't recommend this for development.

    From my experience having used Haskell (a long time ago), the main benefit of Monads is the `do` and Whether this is the best thing since sliced bread or not, is left as an exercis…

    I'd argue it's absolutely ludicrous to give _other people's information_ up to an app (or website). Your contacts contain names, phone numbers, potentially photos and addresses of …

    Multi cursor support in VSCode replaced 98% of my need for macros. Yes, macros are more powerful, but they are pretty easy to get wrong. With multiple cursors, it's far easier to s…

    For completeness, there's also the somewhat common way of creating an object file directly from the binary using objcopy. The object file ends up with 3 symbols with names based on…

    I'll repeat my question from a while ago. Is the official Temu app, available on the Play Store, still full of questionable malware / spyware code? If so, it's clear that none of t…

    I am part of a game dev focused Discord server where people regularly ask how to get into C++. Because of this (and similar) repeating questions I've put together this repository a…

    Thanks for pointing this one out. I am hesitant to buy Apple accessories like these as I am having quality concerns. Specifically the macbook chargers I've encountered are far less…

    Are there recommendations on USB-C to 3.5mm adapters, preferably ones with input and output? My biggest complain with Bluetooth headphones is the astonishingly bad quality when doi…

    I've looked at Magit and indeed Emacs is a blocker as it's not something I'd like to pick up and maintain. I am using Fork as my primary Git GUI and am pretty happy with it. Lazygi…

    So, there's still no option to adjust the corner radius?
