Same. I use hide (Cmd-H) most of the time because I want to hide the whole application, not a single window of the application. I also use Hide Others (Cmd-Option-H) to focus on a single app. And I use Cmd-` to switch between windows of

I specifically ordered the VESA iMac model because of both the limitations of height, etc, and the space on your desk that is freed up by using a mounting arm.

There is a hack that allowed me to use the Nvidia web drivers on Mojave on my 2012 15" rMBP. Not sure if it works on Catalina. You have to reapply it every OS update. I don't think there is a hack to get CUDA working, which was

I have medium-to-high fan noise/RPM consistently when connected to an Apple TB display (2560x1440@60Hz), but it's much quieter when connected to a 2560x1600@60Hz monitor. So if it is very specific resolutions, but not necessarily

I wish macOS would allow for PCI passthrough to VMs (like you can do on Linux via OVMF, using QEMU). I wish I could connect an eGPU and pass full access of it to my Linux VM (or Windows VM), whether that GPU is AMD or NVidia shouldn't

Agreed. I didn't immediately like OS X when I switched to it from Linux at home (and eventually Windows at work), but once I got the right set of 3rd party utilities (tiling app, keyboard shortcut modifiers, launcher, UNIX package man

At work, we have some customers who want to use WebLogic and Websphere, and last time I checked those don't have versions that support anything beyond Java 8. I still use Java 8 even on personal projects. I'm migrating those to K

If you have enough control of the server it resides on, one of the best things you can do is to deny it access to write to the PHP files of the Wordpress install (which requires that you use WP-CLI via command line to do updates), and set

Assuming you meant specifically the Java language, Kotlin for JVM may also be a good option. Solid set of language features that puts it at least on par with C#, and allows you to write more DRY code than you can with Java language. As wi

Yes, though the PCjr had a version of the keyboard without the chiclet keys. Also either version was a minimal keyboard without separate function keys or num pad. I had the non-chiclet keyboard. I now don't want to get a newer MacBoo

The iMac isn't even that great for aesthetics, at least if you VESA mount it and have a decent amount of external gear connected. I have the VESA-mount model of the 2017 27" iMac, and I end up having a bunch of cables hanging dow

I found out last year that 1GB RAM is not enough for TypeScript development (whose compiler runs on nodejs). I was building a fairly small TypeScript project on a Linux instance with 1GB and no GUI and no other processes hogging RAM. I wa

Reading Dr Sarno’s book “The Mindbody Prescription” was what cured me. There was no physical cause. I haven’t had issues since 2001, and I don’t do anything specific to address the physical, the solution is purely psychological (though the

Similarly, Dr. John Sarno's "The Mindbody Prescription" helped me after over a year of RSI. This happened early in my career, and I've been pain free for about 17 years now.

I used Sarno's book to cure myself back in 2002 and this approach has been successful ever since. Occasionally I will have some issue (though rarely wrist pain), and I can make it go away quickly by addressing the psychological root c

After over a decade of using Eclipse, I switched to IntelliJ about two months ago, and I'm very glad I did. I was actually able to retain mostly the same keymap (I use a heavily customized Emacs/OS X/Eclipse keymap), so I did
