It is, I have a dedicated PowerPC Mac running old versions of software that are now free to use (including CS 2). Check the Internet Archive or “Macintosh Repository” (Mac only, of course) for other software or downloads. The caveat is that

In my opinion this is one reason why Discord is so successful and the place I feel most free to communicate. Everything you do on the platform doesn’t follow you everywhere. If any person could see everything I’m doing in B, C, and D commun

This seems like a smart money grab. Keep the hot titles on streaming to keep your subscriber base, and those who really want to watch the fringe shows will probably pay for them, earning HBO more money. Just recently paid for Angry Boys. It

Missing from this conversation: - other browsers exist for iOS, and users seem not to care that much for the alternatives, but… - if other engines are permitted, then user-facing differentiators like extensions will make their way to compet

If the candidate can get the work done, does it matter how? Tools like this are going to become more and more ubiquitous, and I’m questioning myself whether it makes sense to avoid it almost entirely as I have been or to embrace using it to

Some package managers don’t really prevent this, particularly thinking of npm but also apt and other system package managers, because they can run arbitrary post-install scripts. As always, you need to trust the vendor of software you insta

When you start to scale for your amount of customers and features, you have to manage caching, job queues, and more. Things frameworks like Rails or Django provide mostly OOB. If you’re using Go or Node, you’ll end up writing your own de-fa

This would make my life so much easier — constantly accidentally closing a file when I want to hold on to the undo history to redo something. Do you know the name of the feature/flag/setting?

Could not agree more. My grandfather retired 5 years early because if he didn’t, he would lose his pension due to a GE merger. Just lose the whole pension — versus a 401k where his accrued benefits would now be under his own control. Arguab

If Philly was cleaner, it would instantly compete on a much higher level. As someone who grew up in the area and loved (loves?) it I’ve never understood how dirty the city compared to other major cities. On cleanliness, it competes with New

Express is inspired by Connect JS in terms of middleware — middleware written for Connect works in Express. The middleware style I believe is originally inspired by Rack, a Ruby project. Sinatra, also Ruby, predates Express and is based on

This, in combination with the author trying to limit the number of bytes (adding another selector would be unnecessary and add to the length), is why.

Just because it’s a different syntax than you’re used to reading in another language doesn’t make it ugly. If you’re used to reading it and work in the language regularly, it actually looks quite clean. This sounds like a Windows user who c

Ctrl-C is still bound to an interrupt — it’s Cmd-C (i.e. Super-C / Win-C) that is bound to copy. Most things that a regular user can think of (paste, print, select all, to name a few) that would be control mapped in user facing program

Ironically the whole point of it originally was sandboxing, and it’s true at least on iOS. Thus, you won’t be logged into the same sites within an in-app browser, and clicking a link from within an app (whether it appears to be an link or n
