I use two banks. Schwab for checking, as others have said, they’re excellent. Discover for savings for that 2% interest. I’ve tried other online only banks, ally for instance. But discover is the only one I’ve found with no fees to order mo

Agreed, I don't get the ligature craze recently. They look ugly, and sometimes, they don't accurately reflect an operation most of the time, for instance when you use operator overloading. PragmataPro does come without ligatures t

That is definitely not true. In fact, performance has gotten slightly better for me on my 2013 MacBook Pro, especially after the Metal/APFS upgrade after High Sierra. And I’ve been upgrading since Mavericks now, not doing a clean insta

Does the iMac possibly have a HDD rather than an SSD (which your custom PC probably has)? The SSD makes a huge difference in response time. It’s the only reason I’m still using my 5 year old MacBook Pro which has a PCIe SSD and I have no pl

Note that ProtonMail paid $6000 ransom to hackers: https://arstechnica.com/security/2015/11/crypto-e-mail-servi... I applaud their privacy stance, but paying ranson money to hackers is a deal-breaker for me.

For Obj-C fans though, named arguments are one of its best features. Yes, more verbose, easy to decipher, and led to great API design. For the first versions of Swift, they actually had two versions. For functions (i.e not functions inside

Swift has both external and internal parameter names for functions. This is to make API design more readable, easier to parse through. For example, you can have a function like so: func greet(with greeting: String, to personName: Stri

Personally, I find that just having "0..count" requires a bit of thinking on my part trying to decide if it's inclusive or not. "0..<count" instantly tells me that it's not including value, and follows the m

Did you try tig [1]? I prefer the command line solution to shoving complicated things and UI (which fugitive is -- I could barely remmeber all the features I had and like you, I only really ever used the :Gblame command the most) into vim.

It's really not about which package manager is better. The fact of the matter is apt is "good enough" (as toyg mentions below) and more importantly, it's the ubiquity of the package manager that matters. Even Windows h

Ubuntu being debian based is a huge reason for me. Apt is both more familiar and easier to use than yum/dnf, at least for me, but I'm sure for many others as well since most of the time, the first distro they try out is some for

I made a plugin [1] similar to this which offers more options when you press the Tab key. For instance, if you're typing a file path, you get Ctrl-X Ctrl-f completion (vim's file path completion) instead of the regular keyword com

That's what I currently use as well. I would have liked to see some mention of it -- whether or not they tested it, or if they couldn't find any vulnerabilities using the same tests they did for other applications.

I agree. I couldn't stand the slowness of Gitlab's UI. I originally came to Gitlab because Bitbucket was lagging on several features that I wanted, and had a poor UI. Gitlab's UI seemed more inviting as it was similar to Gith

The Mighty Mouse is the same. You get 9 hours of use from 2 minutes of charge time, and macOS warns you ahead of time, enough time for you to go and get a cup of coffee and by the time you're done, you'll probably end up with a fu
