I'll never buy an Ubisoft game again. Instant dealbreaker to see that studio on the Steam store page; I've deleted a $3 sale game from my cart when I realized that it was Ubisoft. No game is worth giving money to a company tha

I've been searching for a sloppy-mouse-focus implementation for OSX for _years_. Pretty sure there's something fundamentally incompatible in how app windows are managed.

I'm glad to see someone tackling the problem head-on instead of just coming up with workarounds.

Thanks for your honesty there. Why do you do it, just the money? A cause you actually believe in?

In my opinion, the Lindy Effect[0] makes a lot of sense in scenarios like this. Personally, I love the fact that the slower evolution of command-line tools gives my personal skillset a longer shelf life. I can add additional capabilities

`ncdu` is the single best tool I've ever found for tracking down high-disk-usage directories deep in the filesystem. Run it with the `-x` flag to prevent it from crossing mounts.

The accelerometer on my X finally started failing, making it impossible to hang up voice calls. It wouldn't turn the screen back on after I took the phone away from my face :-D

I would estimate that U.S. soldiers, are enormously more disciplined on average than U.S. police. More training, stricter rules of engagement, more significant and immediate consequences for violating those rules, better discipline, tighte
