I've found bin[0] to be great (and simple) to manage binaries released via github, specifically those tools not already available via macports and ones for which I'm too lazy to write a portfile for. Seems like kelp is attempting

Looking at their about[0] page, it seems like Typogram is a company started by the person who also created Coding Font. That might explain the "by Typogram" label. [0] https://typogram.co/blog/about-us/

I’ve not read this book, so can’t offer a comparison but Thorsten Ball’s two books [1] are great. The dragon book was my textbook in college, brings back memories, might be outdated but some concepts should still be useful. [1] https:&#x2F

It's a term borrowed from assembly lines(0), where if the andon cord is pulled, the entire line stops until some manager or the likes inspects and restarts it. For amazon, the equivalent would be pulling the listing immediately from th

Really hoping the native app survives. Thanks for the great app! I’ve been a user for a long time and hope to remain so.

Paw[0] is a pretty good native macOS option, at least for now. They were acquired sometime last year by RapidAPI[1], and since have released electron based versions of their app for Linux and Windows. I’m really hoping they don’t go the 1Pa

Interesting, I never played much games but the WASD keys sounds like a really good reason why some may type '6' with the left hand.

If MSFT released a cherry MX version of this keyboard, and moved the 6 key to the right hand cluster, it'd be an instant buy from me. I learned touch typing with 6 on the right side, and most keyboards I've seen have it setup the

A few libraries in the Java world have this model. They haven't produced unicorns but seem to be pretty stable businesses - jOOQ(1), hibernate(2) etc. I'm researching DB libraries for work and so those are the ones I recalled imme

Docker for mac is ridiculously bad to use. We use build containers at work, and Big Sur definitely gets mad at the VM activity & the high disk activity. My 2019 15" i9 MBP sounds like a jet engine half the time.

Metafilter.com has a $5 one time sign up fee and a waiting period for similar reasons. That discouraged posting useless questions that plagued Yahoo Answers. Used to be a good, useful website a few years back but rarely comes up in results

This post[0] by Tim Dettmers should help. Reading through the article, it seems like he covers a lot of ground and lays out choices quite well. tl;dr is that only Nvidia is your best bet for local computing power, stay away from AMD & I

Since you mentioned DataGrip, it seems like IDEA has this capability built in - [0]. You may need the Ultimate version. In that case, the $5/month really comes down to the collaboration features, although, office 365/google docs c

That's interesting, did not know about the carbon to cocoa move, couldn't afford anything Apple back then :) If both platforms had to handle such migrations, I guess it's only fair to say that Windows' solution would be

This is terrifying! At least with Google's fiber, you have to buy their connection for them to spy on you. With sidewalk, who knows how much data Amazon can scoop up just by devices broadcasting their capabilities.

This is consistency in UX is what keeps me from switching to linux full-time for my personal rig. I would assume the keyboard UX would be a low-lying fruit. I'm hoping someone with deep knowledge about linux can help me understand what

Agree on the right-to-repair putting players on a common ground. Thinking more on this, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out for Nikon. They have serious competition from Canon, Sony and others and if they keep their repairs

Asking for a raise in a tactful way is something only your friend can do, best you could do is coach him. That said, if you think that's never happening at your employer, then they have some options IF they're here on an H-1B. IAN

As far as I can tell, emacs[0] denoted control as 'C' first. The tmux docs most likely follow that trend. I'm only starting to learn emacs, so haven't yet come across any key combos that require a capital letter 'C&
