In my opinion (which may be worth little), by using "git" in your product's name today you are also locking onto that technology. So if an another or better VCS comes along (like jj) that you want to embrace it could be harde

More issues generally arise from supporting/qualifying older OS versions than supporting specific architectures in my experience, so developers keep around older hardware or VMs for that purpose. In some other circumstances Rosetta may

Is there a way to do that today? For updating bookmarks I've found like half a dozen variants of `tug` alias the community has come to using which is just a slight improvement (bit daunting to newcomer to pick 'best' one and

Just my feedback - I've personally found jj more complex for simple projects. Like if you have a non-collaborative repo where you push to main most of the time after making a series of commits, in jj you have to keep updating a bookmar

For macOS: Applications may have permission to access files/services that other apps and even root (I believe) would need user-prompt access to, gated by TCC (potentially including sandboxed game’s data). Code signed games that opt int

While I was learning a new keyboard layout (Colemak) I went from > 100 WPM to starting from ~20 WPM. I think I got pretty productive when I reached 60/70 WPM and was surprised how much tab completion and computing assistance I relie

I've been typing in both qwerty and colemak around the same speed (>=100 WPM) for almost a decade. I ultimately ended up deciding to use qwerty at work and colemak at home. At least for me the comfort difference between layouts is m

When I eat at Chipotle I do half/half on black/pinto beans and sometimes on protein :). It’s a hack because they sometimes give you more that way.

I buy whole wheat bread with very little sugar, although it is easier to find wheat bread with lots of added sugar and even more so in restaurants. I guess I would consider it as a good part of my balanced nutrition, not so much healthy by

Personally (on desktop) this design strains my eyes. I want to look in the center where there's nothing to grasp, and there's the official statement, black banner, time boxes, time zone titles in highly varying colors/fonts c

Sure, but for clarification the channels I noted are if you are any registered developer and don't have close contact.

As a side note, the forums aren't the best place for that; the post could just be unseen by the people that matter. The appropriate channels are through Feedback Assistant and/or a technical support report ( https://deve

As someone that's written a game "cheating" tool there's good technical / reverse engineering value from modding or cheating games. Plus it's fun to just be able to change a game (I fondly remember the days pla

This website needs to scale text better on mobile (on an iPhone) so it's not hard to read. Especially for a post advocating on using vanilla HTML and how nice and powerful it is. I don't think I particularly disagree with any of t

Keep in mind it's likely easy to buy orange juice high in added sugar and sweeteners, which yes, isn't that healthy.

It's a misconception that layout switchers are relearning to type, especially if they were proficient qwerty touch typists. The better typists in qwerty have a significantly easier time learning a new keyboard layout. Most of the typin

I would look at it differently, i.e, obj-c++ is a valid supported language environment, that makes interopt with C++ pleasant at least compared to other interopt choices. Developers may choose to target Obj-C++ even out of preference.

Likely too much friction. Native environments benefit from using the expected IDE and tooling integration to build UI apps on respective platform. C or C++ is the best common supported language, and they didn't even like that. Also the

Their hinted opinion on that: > That being said, C/C++ are the only languages with a compiler supported by both Google and Apple, so using a different language would have created a whole host of other problems to deal with.

It depends. When I was writing almost purely functional programming code in Scala I was frequently cursing at type inference. Each explicit type hint helped me more easily understand what each next transform was doing. More modern languages

I probably think this is true for school, that using laptops is not as productive for taking notes, but I didn't find writing down notes on paper in classes particularly pleasant either. Past my school life into employment life, the si

I treat playing piano as a creative outlet these days as a small hobby, not profession. Not much different than say, playing video games. I actually have very little interest in becoming better these days, mostly due to forgoing lessons &#x

It depends who you ask. In my point of view, "reference counting" is a strategy that has nothing inherently to do with memory management and can even be manual instead of automatic. GC as the name implies should involve a collecto

I would not be where I am without my involvement in OSS or other projects, mostly due to the gained experience. The "trick" about putting it on your resume is, if it's significant, to make it not sound or placed any less wort

Ah, good old mumble. I had contributed a patch to it a few years ago, made it sometime in 1.2.9 The community I was in all moved to discord though. Explaining new users how to use mumble was also too hard as I recall. And it didn’t have suc
