So many choices! Emacs-plus from brew, Macports and https://emacsformacosx.com , I wonder how they differ from one another. As someone who wants vanilla experience, should I get from emacsformacosx.com?

Wellp, not for me... Shame, reddit has/had really good answers to a variety of problems that I've had over the years. Not sure if there's a replacement for it, or if there will ever be another.

When I go to https://leaks.psylo.app on "Possible IP leaks" side I see only "WebAuthn" with my real IP and, occasionally, WebTransport with an incorrect IP. For "HTTPS Traffic" it always show some o

On top of that, the seemingly endless remakes... Some are praise worthy others not so much. I got tired of Resident Evil Remakes, they are just recycling the same formula over, and over, and over again... Innovation has left a long time a g

Why not both? A small button with "Copy link" text to, well, copy the current URL and another that calls "native" share, if available. I don't find it to be too many options, but I would guess that perhaps "Cop

I'd also recommend LibreWolf, for those who want a "strict by default" experience and tweak from there.

I was wondering if it's possible to have the container volume change to, say, an external drive. I currently use QMEU with qcow2 images to achieve this, works well enough.

I've used this a good amount of times, when I coded in front end projects. The first time gave me that satisfying feeling of using the right tool for the job, like completing a puzzle of HTML semantics. I remember JAWS not announcing i

I have this view as well. After years of Notepad++, the last security problem made me want to switch, not because of just that, but that, overall, since the author has an active voice expressing his political views (which is totally fine),

I downloaded it recently and found it to be quite useful for quick notes. And I can attest to its "fast" claim, using it on a heavily monitored corporate computer, with CrowStrike and what-not; curiously, and I may being hyperboli

I wonder how Stoat will fare, and how it is currently maintained, in terms of "making money"; my fear is that it would steer into the direction of Discord itself.

It's because of the trademark: https://stoat.chat/updates/long-live-stoat Nevertheless, I don't like the new name either, oh well... I like this comment though: Imagine you make a free software project and i

Toady I used GLM 4.7 to port a C++ project of mine to Rust, so I could read and toy with it, to get into the language: https://codeberg.org/RickStanley/agatetepe-rs . Really interesting results, not sure how well it is

We've been using Mapperly ( https://mapperly.riok.app/ ), after a migration from AutoMapper, in our production application. I'm having a good experience, and we kind of like the holistic of this library. So far, the

Thanks for sharing. I've been off editor hopping for quite some time, nowadays I just use some pre-defined configuration like Doom Emacs, occasionally I try to build some environment, with AI help, from "scratch" for fun and

I can not recommend Xenophon's Anabasis (AKA March Of The Ten Thousand) enough. I'm rereading it for the fourth time, in less than 2 years. There's a variety of themes: - political intrigue; - religion; - moral, ethics; - com

Yeah. I was wondering if it would be feasible to have a superset language for C++, much like what TypeScript is for JavaScript. But I guess there's always the risk of bike-shedding hell.

On this topic, I've been wondering if models are capable of recommending other models for a given machine spec, for example: which model, if any, would be recommended for a laptop with a Ryzen 9 6000S and RTX 3060m (random spec).

Non-C# developer question: what use-case/situation would a `struct` make sense to use instead of a `class`? Just out of curiosity. [Edit] Well, there's a nice, special article for this very question: https://learn.micro

Fully agreed. I myself use 2 terminals: Alacritty and WezTerm. The former for local work, and the latter for my VMs, and occasional remote server work. I couldn't explain exactly why I use separated applications, since WezTerm works we
