There are multiple LSP clients though, there's lsp-mode [1] and eglot [2]. After trying out both, I prefer Eglot, mainly because I find it faster and less intrusive than lsp-mode. It also composes better with built-in packages, such as

Syncthing is a great piece of software. I configured it on three of my machines in March and I've had zero issues since. In fact, it has worked so well that I don't even think about it. One of the machines even runs an old version

Not surprised by these bugs any more. The sheer amount of bugs in High Sierra is ridiculous, with the exception of the root password bug, I've personally experienced the following bugs with my Thunderbolt display: * In 10.13 or 10.13.1

And this is likely the reason for the reportedly low sales of the 8. I was surprised when they announced both at the fall event as it seemed obvious the X would cannibalize sales of the 8. The iPhone is already a expensive premium phone, wh

Another anecdote: My sister took over my apartment late 2014. Some time in 2015, the dishwasher (Miele) stopped working. She called support to see if it could be repaired. When she provided them with the serial number she was told that the
