I think you might be imposing an America-centric view on the BBC. I doubt that was the intention.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone accuse anything Apple made of being garish.

I think operating system is much more common of a term than OpenSearch?

This doesn't contribute to the discussion. Nor make sense?

I agree, no examples means I have to download and try it out - no thanks .

Effective Java by Joshua Bloch is fantastic for covering up to Java 9. There have been incremental updates since then but this book will get you 95% of the way, and it is very well…

Is this beat-poet anti-Microsoft thing a character or how you are in real life?

Depends if you cook. A lot of people are going to want a stove. I would never consider renting an apartment without a stove and oven and I am willing to wager that nor would a larg…

They sell black ties and white shirts still, perhaps you can buy them and live out this fantasy.

Heat stroke at 25c! Is this in 100% humidity?

I honestly mean this with no disrespect but having written code exclusively in vim in the terminal for several years and the same in IntelliJ, I am confident that either: - you don…

The design is really bad imo as well. I would prefer no css or styling at all than this. Its very difficult to tell what is going on.

I think its farcical to claim that a 4 day week is a 'scam' because you find it offensive for whatever reason. Its still an improvement on the 5 day week and something atypical. I …

>You can’t hate the law/regulation then call it in when you need it. Why not?

Boxing having multiple world championships is not really a good thing. You have the WBC, WBO, WBA (Super), WBA (Regular), IBF, The Ring and Lineal world champions. Having SEVEN pos…

In Australia it’s not uncommon but that’s also exceptional.

I'm going to assume this isn't trolling and if it is, you fooled me. I've use Vim professionally, as well as VSCode and Jetbrains IDEs and dabbled in Emacs - the idea that one can …

I'm using Fish with vim mode and something seems to have gone wrong, where the prompt displays the currently mode of vim (here [I] for insert) your terminal seems to interpret this…

I agree. I use Moom https://manytricks.com/buy/moom and https://www.alfredapp.com/ which I think add most of the stuff I like. To each their own but I think if you are willing to s…
