I stuck to Mojave for essentially the same reason. Then I found out you could provision another volume, install Mojave on it, and treat the Mac like a dual-boot machine. When I need to run any of my 32-bit apps (mostly games, but there are

I, too, have used Typora for years whilst in Beta. I appreciated it's approach and features enough that I've paid for it. Alternately, there's a free editor called MarkText that is maybe 85% there as compared to Typora. I

My wife was at a meeting, and a friend's kid spilled water all over the table they were sitting at (her phone was sitting on the table). Same thing - Pixel 4a indicated it wouldn't use the USB-C port until water or debris was remo

I grew up in SoCal (NW Orange County - in between Seal Beach & Los Alamitos), but my mom's family hailed from near Texarkana, TX. I can still recall one of my second cousins asking me, in a very Southern accent: "Gregory Lee

As an SDET, I'm always looking for quicker/easier ways to get selectors that are non-brittle. The trick is to analyze either the CSS or XPath selector and optimize it so it's neither brittle nor a mile long. This is something

We kept chickens at our last house (Austin, TX area) for about 5 years. That's the first time I had the "ah-ha!" experience of "omigosh - I've been eating plastic all these years!" I almost pulled the trigger s
