If I had to commute by car every day in traffic… that would absolutely suck. Hopping on the train always feels better though. I get to see random people, relax, listen to music, not worry about crashing…

I’d like to see this asshole waste 2h every day in public transport and get less work done because of a noisy open-plan office.

I bet if you have a female name, more drivers will actually try and bring it to the door (which may be up a flight of stairs) rather than calling you to come down and get it. There are always trade-offs.

I’ll bet I can tell which version is LaTeX or Word.

3 weeks ago my iPad got dropped in water for half a second, then stopped turning on the next day. I booked it in for ‘repair’ at apple, only to be told “sorry, you don’t have applecare, so a replacement will be ~$1300aud. We don’t actually

What else can you do but look at files and code to figure out problems? And why use a monospace font for prose? I agree otherwise though, it can bite you in the arse if you don’t understand the layers of abstraction you’re dealing with. It’

AlDente has a new competitor with less paywalling: BatFi. I find it nicer to use. https://micropixels.software/batfi

Are you able to get proper jump-to-definition for stuff in jars? Say you’ve declared an import from a jar, and you get to that import and run ‘jump-to-definition’ (or whatever it is), are you taken to the source of the import? I’m sure Inte

They’re complaining about pedestrians not being vigilant. I’m saying drive slower and more carefully, fully expecting that peds will carelessly cross the road, and there will be fewer issues.

The difference is that you’re cocooned in a tonne of steel, hurtling along at speeds which kill pedestrians. The onus is on both parties to be vigilant, but it’s more on you as a driver. As soon as you get over this entitled view, like the

No bootcamp for apple silicon Macs. And virtualisation would introduce too much input lag.

I discovered a strange third place last night: a Counter Strike Source server in my country. It had about ten different people talking over voice chat. They were all very frank and cheerful, and it seemed like they congregate there each nig

But how is input lag? That’s a crucial factor for counter strike.

This is stupid. There’s been an explosion in the number of gaming-capable Macs since the M-series chips came out. It’s remained largely untapped. The reason “there aren’t enough players” is because there aren’t enough people doing games for

Time to move to MacPorts.

Yes, this is true. I’m a transport engineer and can confirm that roads are designed for a truck’s weight and cars hardly register in terms of damage.

Yes. Just bought a HP-15c reissue.

I think it's the nature of being a labourer, really. Your body is the machine, energy has to move through it by way of forces. Our spines are just not that great at holding up under the forces. Sorry to hear about your wife's situ

Working as a labourer wrecked my back. I live with the pain every second of my life now. If they want more people to do this, they should pay them more. There is no such thing as a labour shortage - EVER. This is a stupid term. There is a p

As someone in the geocomputation space, the road and intersection detail in the map tiles is super impressive. I wonder how they did it. They’ve got seemingly perfect vector-graphics representation of all road features: lines, islands, medi

They’ve actually screwed themselves. The 10% or so of people (a guess) who are outraged and have left reddit or locked their communities seem likely to be the small percentage of users who post the most (keeping the site alive for the major

This guy is too much of a showman for me to trust him and take him seriously. It’s all coloured by the years of conniving he’s done as a criminal defence lawyer. He may have a point but I’d rather read about it.
