More and more article titles follow this click bait pattern. The article itself is fine, interesting, albeit a bit short. But I totally agree, and it irks me too, that the implied promise of the title is not honored.

You can easily host and manage your own package repository. My point is that this apparent limitation is not in itself a strong enough reason to embark on NIX. Go fill your boots if you want to use NIX, power to you, but be honest about why

Paul Fischer's book, 'A Kim Jong-Il Production' is well worth a read, not only for the story of these kidnappings, but of life in North Korea and its history.

I switched about two months ago, paid for a year. It's such a relief, it's like having search of ten years ago back again. It just works, and no useless crap. Options that make sense to ME, not to the profit line. I'm now pay

Guitar player here. App looks great, but shame it's only for piano. I used a different app that does pretty much the same thing and really benefited from it, the improvement was noticeable after each session. If you add guitar support

I have no idea how Apple prioritise their bug fixing, but it really looks to me like bugs only get fixed when adding new features, if at all. This is such a trivial big win as well, create a software dev team to focus on the outstanding bug

I couldn't agree more. However the reason we have a Popcorn option on the microwave is because it makes the difference at the point of sale, not at the point of use. Most people when presented with two devices that essentially do the s

I personally wouldn't go anywhere near sideloading applications that haven't been through Apple's verification processes, or advise anyone in my family to do so. I also think that it is very hard to argue _against_ allowing s

by roydivision 2y ago
Yes, the downside is that we aren't really learning anything, just solving problems supported by machines that tell us the solutions. Any schmuck can do that.

This stands to reason. If you need the answer to a question, and you can either get it directly, or spend time researching the answer, you're going to learn much more with the latter approach than the former. You may be disciplined eno

I've worked as a sysadmin for most of my professional career, around 25 years. Sure I've screwed up, but I've learned each time. Covering everything in bubble wrap to shield you from consequences of mistakes is counter-produc

I've been wondering for some time if it would be possible to create a formal way of describing board game rules. Although there is much variety in board gaming, mostly they consist of some sort of state machine, with events that change
