This is why I've been using Spacemacs as my primary editor for years now: cross-platform support, automatic language detection, package installation, well-designed key bindings, great documentation, etc. Not to mention significant prod

That’s why the MacBook Pro M1 has fans. It’s designed for harder workloads where you’re maxing out the cores (multi-core compilation, video encoding, etc) for extended periods. This was well-documented and discussed previously. The tradeoff

Yes, but Starship is a prototype at the moment. And it'd require the Super Heavy to even reach orbit, which will soon begin testing [0]. Additionally, the engineering requirements for long-term life support are significantly more invo

Yes, I can't imagine spending $10k on the promise of some half-baked FSD--especially when regular Autopilot is a reality today, and it's freaking fantastic. I, too, use it daily.

by qubitcoder 5y ago
Absolutely. All the features you mentioned are standard and work independently of Autopilot [0] It probably has the best and most intuitive lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, blind spot alerts, collision detection warnings, etc. out the

Check out the audio books. The narrator, Jefferson Mays, does a masterful job at patois/Belter-speak, along with all the other character for that matter. I suspect the Expanse series used his work as inspiration, since the patois is vi

Welcome to the world of USB-C! My general approach, and recommendations to others, is to purchase only Thunderbolt 3 cables. Yes, they're more expensive. But they'll essentially handle everything you throw at them, and behave as e

Same here. This is one of the biggest selling points for macOS as a power user. I've used Windows and linux for years, and continue to do so on a daily basis. But on macOS, one can absolutely fly due to the consistent keyboard shortcut

To be fair, I don't think I've ejected something by dragging it to the trash can in eons (well, at least it was so long ago that I don't remember).

The home directory is one of my most frequent destinations in Finder, and the first thing I enable in Finder (Preferences > Sidebar > <username>). And then I move it to the very top of the sidebar. I'd argue that removing

For 1): In Finder, you can go to _View > as Icons_ (or simply ⌘+1). Then you can use ⌘ +/- (command plus/minus) to zoom in and out, respectively.

by qubitcoder 5y ago
Same here. I just learned about Cmd+down today after using macOS for nearly two decades. I've always used Cmd+o (as in, "open"). But it makes sense. Especially when considering that an Application on macOS is basically a fold

Try closing Finder and report back ;-). And that was definitely a bug at one point. Whenever I encountered it years ago, I was always bemused thinking about how a typical user would ever figure out how to open Finder and get to their files.
104.
by qubitcoder 5y ago
Yes, that's probably the first thing I do in Finder on a new macOS device. I struggle to understand the reasoning behind hiding it by default, since it only contains the standard folders like Documents, Downloads, Movies, etc. I suppos

by qubitcoder 5y ago
You can also drag and drop files/folders from Finder into a Terminal/iTerm window. That'll expand to the full path in the terminal. For example, dragging the Documents folder into a terminal pane becomes: /Users&#x2F

Interesting. I never noticed that because I've always used List or Icons as the default view in Finder (Command+1 and Command+2). Personally, I'd recommend just not using the Column view. It seems pretty janky compared to the othe
107.
by qubitcoder 5y ago
That's right. Regarding your last point about two-finger clicking on the folder name to show the path, you can also go to "View > Show Path Bar". That will show the full path along the bottom, and you can move to any paren

I'm not sure I fully understand the workflow here. I use three large 4k monitors with macOS, and it's straightforward for the most part. Then again, I basically never use the menu bar, since keyboard shortcuts are so consistent ac

You can use Cmd+o to open a program (and the "return" key to rename it).

Exactly the same here. I recently got a Model Y in mid-January. It's by far the best car I've ever owned, the most fun to drive, the least stressful, and it just makes me smile every time I get in it. The interface and UI is incre

Likewise! That's actually the reason I submitted the article.

Indeed. I've run into this multiple times. Something as simple as "brew upgrade youtube-dl" could end upgrading dozens of _unrelated_ packages, such as postgres--which ends up breaking my local development environments. Perha

Indeed. This is illustrated vividly here: https://youtu.be/hA_B7qPyUDA?t=1120 Two people engage in a "charging race" to see who can charge the most in 15 minutes. The contenders, a Tesla Model Y and the 2021 Ford

Have you considered that these measures are _temporary_? If people shared the same ideas about sacrifice, the United States would've never prevailed in WWII. Personally, it seems like objections to basic preventive measures, such as we

If homework is considered easy, then perhaps you're at the wrong school? Ideally you should be in an environment where you feel like everyone else is smarter, and you're struggling just to keep up. Consider transferring to a diffe

It could be a function of their integrated graphics approach with the M1 (SoC), as opposed to simply having the right ports. That's just a guess, however.
