Also the most egregious thing: Israel knew about 911 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdiQuU7upfw ) and did not share that intel with the USA. There is more evidence of this but it gets harder to find as time passes and it g

The reasons behind these polarized emotions will differ based on who you ask and are too many to list. Both sides feel entitled to the land, I personally don't care what the place is called, I just want everyone living in it to have eq

Though ligatures when I first saw them looked really cool but trying them out I quickly realized how much I hated actually reading and writing code with them turned on. Cursive has also been an odd choice for monospace fonts to me, I don&#x

I am hoping the carta 1200/1250 display which ever it ends up shipping with will help to reduce latency, but for my use case which is more reading and less note taking it is seemingly perfect.

I honestly cannot see the value in ReMarkable after the Kindle Scribe announcement. The kindle has a newer faster, 300dpi display vs 226dpi on the ReMarkable. I am waiting on reviews before ordering one for myself, but I can already see tha

This is so unethical and sadly not rare. I have had people reach out to me (twice, recently) on LinkedIn to interview for them (using names and credentials of people who have work authorization for USA) and the offer is usually a fixed rate

Yes that is the one strength I think GraphQL has that should be undeniable even though I am not a proponent of GraphQL myself.

I know I can make an API endpoint in Rails equally as fast as writing a query in GraphQL and the code needed to use it. I don't really buy into GraphQL yet since I have not come across a strong enough advantage of using it in my carrie

Saving bandwidth is really not the actual super power. The main advantage is being able to save network requests by fetching all required data in the same request.

I would love to see what this will bring to K9 mail. I hope having the support of Thunderbird will allow K9 to really get some much needed polish. My preferred app right now is FairMail, its interface takes some getting used to and settings

One measure is the number of stars on github and active contributors 49.7k vs 25.7k and 737 vs 79. The other measure can be the number of new extensions being written for each of them (particularly extremely high quality ones like telescope

I used to love this theme (you can even see it in my old screenshots https://github.com/talha-akram/anvil ) but over time I started to prefer lower contrast themes now the same neon colors are jarring to me.

If it is your work machine than you probably shouldn't upgrade right away, give it a week or two (esp. if you work with old/outdated dependencies or packages). For personal machines I would be less cautious.

It is extremely difficult to design a good RDBMS schema without understanding the data model, and once you do, it is there documented in its entirety with best in class tooling for anyone else to come along, pickup and be up to speed with i

Thanks for the suggestion, I did not know about Cascadia Code. I am a big fan of Consolas font but it is proprietary so I had to look for something better which lead me to discover Fira Mono. I personally really like its design choices, tha
