I think many artist interviews or respective wiki pages mention how their early taste in music was influenced by wondering through their parents music collection - be it tapes, vinyl or CDs. With everyone on their own Spotify account that s

Could not agree more. Most city infra is not built for bakfiets-style bikes so they clog bike lanes. Paired with an electric motor they are dangerous given the speed they can go and their intrinsic weigh. Most of the time I see people carry

I think killing civilians using laughable pretext (weapons of mass destruction anyone?) with the goal of taking over or ensuring control over resources is not particular a Russian thing. Like invading an oil-rich country over the pretext of

The Realtek Ethernet is know to cause issues. Based on reports on various Mac forums the most reliable option for Ethernet is Apple's own Thunderbolt adapter which uses the Broadcom BCM57762. For current Macs it needs to be used in con

I wrote BabyMeals ( https://baby-meals.github.io/ ) exactly for that reason. The amount of ad tracking and ad spam in female health apps (period trackers, child feeding) is staggering.

I agree that 20 bucks is relatively a lot of money. On the flipside, running a search engine does not come for free, curious what the costs of Google would be without the ads.

The blog post is short on what the preview enables. I assume this allows for running Intel-based images on Apple Silicon, the achieved emulation performance would be most interesting to know.

How did you figure out the Bluetooth protocol and commands? I have a Cannondale app for my bike, which is reading the Bluetooth wheel sensor to display speed and mileage. I'd like to build my own app for it but clueless on how to figur

I don't recall how I came across it but remember well the relief after using it the first time. It was the first package manager on MacOS that worked and made installing common tools painless. With MacPorts, fink etc it felt like it wo

From my interaction with people from NGOs, mostly from foreign aid organizations, there seemed to be as many people genuinely trying to make a difference as the ones that are only interested in their own agenda. I would like to think the sm

Do you experience this for dev-related searches or all types? I often have trouble finding relevant content for dev-related searches due to SEO content farms that wrap Stack Overflow content in an ad-infested user interface or worse.
