I tried eM Client for last week.. and, nope. Not my thing. - Cannot select which email to look at "next" after a delete - Does not display number of item in the current mailbox (like Postbox did) - Lack of a Unified set of folders

Interesting points, all. But - you don't need to run an old machine to test software. If you are writing mobile apps, then your dev machine is irrelevant, get the best one you can. Writing web apps or Native apps?. Run a VM or other f

What Chat system are you using? - "one line at a time" -- what?? No chat system I use works like this. You get a paragraph, even a whole page, with notes, images, etc.. all at once. - 'must constantly watch the channel'

I use Tabnine - https://www.tabnine.com/ It supports multiple LLM's and it has it's own internal one, and it can be secure for a company and their codebase, unlike the generic OpenAI, Claude, etc. I do have OpenA

I train my team on how to resolve this. Every team member is able to resolve a force push onto a branch they have local. Also, we tend to avoid having multiple people work on the same branch.. so, that's also a thing. If there was a mu

I take all "WIP" branches and rebase them as needed onto the 'latest' development. Any continued work on those branches will have to be compatible with all released code, so deal with any issues -- i.e. merge issues dur

I've looked at the "arguments" for not rebasing and reject them. I've never once thought 'oh shit, I wish I had not rebased that'. Keeping things neat in the repo has gained me far more than I ever theoretica

Is there a "proper way" to attribute information on the internet? And, in a comment forum? I clearly stated the source as perplextity.ai. In fact, perplexity includes actual sources (via links). I couuld have posted the 8 sources

Well, thank you for "oversimplifying it" But, the existence of a 3rd party app store, with "zero cost" to developers apparently, would almost certainly force someone in need of an app for some purpose to use this app sto

I agree, but I'm just pointing out that this fine is outrageous, and, basically almost equal to total sales in the EU.

I did read that, and I think it is OUTRAGEOUS. I'd call it criminal, but these thugs in the EU have no moral character.

Estimated annual sales of iPhones in EU are about 12.4M phones in Q4 2023. If you just do quick math, that is 49.6M phones/year. If you pick an ASP of $800 (??) then that would be about $39.7B annual Gross sales. If EU actually tried t

I did. Perplexity updates daily. Better than "googling" these days. At least I attributed it. Don't like the stats, find better ones, or contradicting ones.

I use git rebase all of the time. We rebase all features onto develop. Develop is then merged --ff-only into stage/release, etc. Which is then merged --ff-only into main/master, and then tagged. I use squash less, as it can be he

I'm one of those people that can't stand Microsoft. I don't agree with everything Apple does, but I generally like the direction. The best thing M$ ever did was add WSL2 to the OS. Now, if they could just get rid of the rest

You know, "tax the rich" only puts more money in the hands of the government and the government bureaucrats. Those people are as corrupt as they (people) come. They are certainly no better than these 1% of the rich they want to vi

I'm pretty sure this is a generational thing as well. Younger engineers are used to just "google it", or "watch a youtube video" and you are suddenly an expert in whatever you want. Watch a video on building a cabin

I did the same thing. I'd always try and read ahead so I had read the material BEFORE the teacher covered it. This was an immense help in understanding. Seriously, it helped so much.

Not quite true. Python PEP 8, kind of a core in Python style, states that lines should be no longer than 79 characters. I personally, and I believe many current Python developers use a more realistic 120 character line length.. But, in Pyth

I agree with you @justin_oaks. I overly simplified that point. My main point is that learning should be as comprehensive as possible. Learn what your tools can do, then apply that to the problem, realizing that multiple approaches are possi
