Yes, iTerm2 is one of the best macOS apps. It's the first thing we have new developers install if they're new to macOS. On the 120Hz MacBook Pros, there's an advanced iTerm2 setting that lets you change the maximum frame rate

Very well said. Just a small addendum. As someone who grew up in the south, I'd just like to mention that "Bless Your Heart" could be used in a derogatory manner. But, most often, it's used to express genuine concern f

I'm not so sure about that. About 20 years ago, counselors advised taking the SAT/ACT only once, since your score wouldn't really change. I took the SAT several times. Each time my score went up significantly. My high school

Slightly related is https://cheat.sh/ [0], which returns real-world examples of how to use a given command. The results are nicely formatted and color-coded. Give it a try in your terminal: curl https://cheat.

This isn't accurate. There's an option to purchase the FSD package upfront or pay a monthly subscription (just a couple of taps on the phone app). Either option enables Enhanced Autopilot with summon mode, automatic lane changes (

The Home Depot mobile app is pretty nice. It's significantly easier and faster to use, especially while in a store. Along with the quick location toggles/searches, it's worth checking out.

Languages aren't logical pre-determined constructions (unless they're intentionally designed, such as Esperanto). Humans create languages. And they constantly change and evolve, including new words, letters, grammar, etc. Consider

I think you might have this backwards.

I'm not sure I follow. Bright sunlight strongly triggers my wake response, even if I've only fallen asleep within the last hour or so. And even with blackout curtains or no windows, you'd still be starting your day long after

Personally, as someone with DSPS (Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome), I absolutely love waking up and going to work when it's still dark in the morning. It feels so productive and motivating. On the contrary, when the sun is already blaring

I've had an LG OLED C9 for almost 3 years. I don't believe I've ever seen an ad. You can go into the Settings, poke around a bit, and turn off all the personalization/ad options. When I turn on the TV, it shows the last

I would be surprised if any of my male and females friends from Georgia Tech ('07) couldn't identify and accurately describe every technical word in great detail, or even talk about them for hours on end. The same apples for colle

Even as a gay man (and software engineer), I only barely recognized a couple of the female words from studying French. Otherwise I was clueless. I knew 100% of the male words, and use most of them regularly given my hobbies and interests (e

I'm surprised you haven't seen this before. Even as a consultant way back in 2012, many basic rental cars had this feature. It shows album art and other metadata about the currently playing track or show. I believe it's part

You are behaving dangerously. Accidents are caused by speed differences (one reason). People changing lanes to pass you introduces all sorts of additional complexity, increases speed deltas, reduces reaction time, limits visibility, require

I have FSD Beta as well. Even in Assertive mode, I've never actually seen it do a rolling stop, including rural areas with nothing around. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. In fact, I'd prefer it didn't--or at least

At least in Georgia, there's at least one yellow light with a speed limit sign attached. During active school hours, the yellow light will flash on and off. On my daily commute, there's two overhead flashing yellow lights. Previou

This doesn't really mirror my experience. I scheduled a test drive for a Model Y online. I drove to the nearest Tesla location in Alpharetta, Georgia (about 1.5 hours away). And then later placed an order online. A couple weeks later,

Very true. Many older people I've met use Siri or Google as the primary means of device interaction. For example, my mom has used an iPad daily for many years now. She's never used a laptop or desktop. Rather, she navigates and in

I do on _very_ rare occasions. Why? I'm fortunate enough to have gigabit symmetrical fiber, so streaming isn't an issue. That said, when viewing content on higher quality TVs and sound systems, there's a very perceptible imp

The Three-Body Problem certainly takes a _while_ to get going. I gave up the first time reading it on my phone. But I kept hearing others sing its praises. Years later, I started playing the audio book on a roadtrip. At some point, I couldn

I'm with you on detesting car maintenance when owning a vehicle. To be fair, most of those maintenance options do go away with fully-electric vehicles. For example, you could lease a Tesla Model 3/Y. The process is impressively st

The position being put forth here is frankly rather horrific and abusive, and on multiple levels. Normally I'd aim to provide a more substantive response, but I'm not even sure where to begin.

Is this satire? Even as a millennial, I cannot fathom buying a smart toothbrush that presumably relies on bluetooth--and for what, a timer? I'm hoping this is a joke :-).

If I have to wait in line at all, it's 99% a no-go. Add convenient self-checkout with wireless payments, and you've got my business. I wouldn't normally stop at CVS, but find myself doing so regularly. Why? Because there&#x27

This doesn't match my experience. I live in a small town in north Georgia, and I typically see 3-5 Teslas when driving nowadays, including small country roads.

For what it's worth, the Tesla wipers are by default in automatic mode. They work so well that I didn't even realize they were automatic until about 10 minutes of driving in the rain. Unlike other auto-wipers I've used in the
