Ummmm, what? Spotlight I'll grant you, but Finder is hands down the worst file browser on any operating system. There's no up button, no split screen, you can't copy a path easily, you can't show hidden files easily, you

See for example the atom text editor. Amazing editor, down to one or two maintainers who can't keep up with the issues/PRs. RIP.

The problem with Pokémon isn't a dearth of new ideas (the fairy type is a great addition, as well as EXP share and several newer improvements). The problem is there are more and better animations in Pokémon coliseum (an N64 game) than

I do care (and steadfastly refuse to play newer pokemon/animal crossing due to the save shenanigans), but not so much that I didn't buy a (used) switch with the top games (Mario odyssey, Mario kart, breath of the wild, smash) on c

If you watch the Engoodening of No Man's Sky on YouTube, it argues exactly this. Every thing that Hello Games' Sean Murray said ended up haunting him, and them stopping the communication and just getting to work is how NMS got to

This doesn't refute the GP's point though. I've done both the very light management and very heavy Jira, and Jira makes it easy to track what's actually going on. If you want to know what a coworker is doing, you can jus

Does anyone make these? I know you can get a phone app, but all the e-ink I've seen has been kindle/nook/kobo. I'd happily buy one.

I'm with you. Also hopeful that the DF steam release comes with a slightly easier to use UI. If you want similarly hilarious stories, try rimworld.

I read the article, but had to use FF's reader mode. Why do people use #666 and a super light font weight for body text?!? My eyesight is fairly good, and it's still incredibly hard to read.

As I understand it, that one is Linux Mint. For windows users, it just looks like a slightly older windows. That said, I don't think Newbie friendly and power user friendly must be at odds with each other. If you can figure out what th

Now is the perfect time! Rimworld just got a gigantic (free) 1.1 update and a smaller (paid) DLC to go with it. Rimworld is like 2d dwarf fortress, but way more accessible. The controls make sense, and the game teaches you as you play. Also

Why does vim exist anymore? Neovim exists and has more and newer features. We should just get rid of vim, and have Bram focus all his efforts on nvim instead. Some of us don't like VS Code (for lots of reasons) but do like Atom. From M

From the community manager, on the atom slack: > Lee Dohm: @aviatesk This is a temporary status. Atom’s pace of development has always fluctuated over time as developers join and leave the project, take parental leave, have vacations,

Strongly disagree. To implement something simple in VS Code, you have to write an entire package, or put out a PR to one. To implement something simple in atom, you open up your init script. To change a bit of css in code, you have to write

Also a full time Firefox user. Another bug that I believe is actually Firefox doing the right thing: if you make an event handler function but give it no parameters, Firefox will have no local named event. Chrome will create an event variab

Less than half the time is provable. More readable is a bit of a stretch. What does declaim mean? What about ftype? What is the (* * *) in the array declaration? What is ash? I've read through some of CLtL and the rust book both, but n

What? With ruby, there are at least 4 ways to find out how big something is (.size, .length, et al). You want to loop over something? You can use python style for in loops, .each, and several other ways. Your block could be a block, or it c

KC native here. I haven't been to SF, and don't ever plan to. I live 12 miles away from my work (to the East, thank goodness), and bought a home a few years ago in a very nice suburb for $160k. 3 bed, 2.5 bath, gigantic finished b

With python, a good IDE should be able to find usages. If you delete a method that has usages without searching for them, you're asking for trouble. Sure it's not a compilation error in python, but compilation can only show that t

Well, if you're looking for battery life, both safari and edge have excellent battery life by virtue of not doing anything useful. And if you're looking to do dev work, that usually means at minimum an editor, a server, and a brow

As the other comment mentioned, extensibility. Their API is much easier to navigate. Their commands line up exactly with the name that shows up in the fuzzy finder, so dispatching a command or adding a key binding is a breeze. The settings

For the same reason that controllers have both "normal" and "inverted". It's all in your point of view. Are you controlling like a mouse (up on the joystick looks up) or like a joystick (forward on the joystick is l

The problem with this is I'm a web dev and I can't really do all my work in emacs. For backend people you can live entirely in emacs. Once you hit the frontend you have to start interacting with a browser. That's why I always

I'd argue this is a feature more than a bug. I haven't done much with VSC, but I have done a lot with both atom and emacs (via spacemacs). How do you find out even the name of what you are looking for to find it on the wiki? Is th

A bunch left for twitch after the demonetization scandal. A few use exclusively Patreon, but there's no discoverability there. I will agree there's not a lot of options, though.

If you only use a file manager for browsing/opening files, a single window makes sense. But as soon as you want to do a copy/cut and paste, you end up having to browse back and forth between two directories anyway. Dual pane is op
