Not a fan of either but I feel obligated to point out they don't appear to be sponsoring Omarchy, they just posted about it on their social media account(s). Hyprland they actually did do a small sponsorship for.

Very cool! I think I'll have some opportunity soon to give it a shot, I have just the set of projects that have been needing a tool like this. One thing I think I'm missing after perusing the docs however is, how does one onboard

I almost used this recently to gain more control over the HTTP cache behavior in our app at work, but eventually realized what I wanted could be achieved by combining plain old cache headers with some more intelligent cache busting query st

With the proposal in the OP, I would think so yes. But the MacOS setting mentioned directly above is blanket per-app at the OS level.

The issues in question here surface even with an empty city, at higher populations the CPU will almost certainly become the issue but right now most of the complaints are unrelated to sim performance and it even seems like for most people t

So the last "good" Windows was what then, 3.1? Modern lock screens are essentially just glorified login prompts and we had that in 3.11 I believe.

I've been noticing some of the same with The X-Files. There are seemingly random shots with lower quality, and any shot with heavy VFX looks original, but most of it now looks quite sharp.

My assumption is that is only for the particular ad or company and that they will just show you ads from other places instead. More of a way to nudge the system into showing you more "relevant" promoted tweets than actually removi

There will almost certainly be some tie-in with Microsoft's impending xCloud-based streaming service. Given that they will be starting from a position where people already own games on their platform plus the addition of Xbox Game Pass

I will absolutely take this opportunity as others have to praise James Mickens. I'd encourage anyone to simply go type his name into YouTube and watch some talks if you haven't.

There are no "non-js things" going on. I'll grant that they're doing some out of the ordinary things in order to support hooks and suspense, but it's still just JavaScript. Edit: If you want to see how hooks are imp

My solution to this is just a mod for being able to interact with anything on the screen, and another for being able to move through all the gaps in structures you can't normally squeeze through. I think they are "Long Reach"

I tend to stick to one AirPod at a time unless I'm listening to something where I really want both audio channels which also has the added benefit of allowing you to have a backup AirPod at full charge. I assumed a lot of people were a

Also the Dockerfile seems to be in the repo. Looks like it just installs some apt packages and adds the script file: https://github.com/jfcoz/postgresqltuner/blob/master/Dockerf...

This may be true but its very easy to argue that an organization with the global influence of Facebook deserves that kind of scrutiny. The average Joe may look like an asshole under the same lens, but I would also say the potential effects

I have Toothfairy and it is amazing as a quicker way to connect my AirPods to my Mac, but I've tried that option for disabling input and it didn't seem to work for me unfortunately. Still absolutely worth the $3 for the other feat

All of my iOS devices are rather new, perhaps it depends on which one. I've used Siri, made calls, and spoke in channels on Discord without having it happen on my iPhones 7 and XS, and 2018 iPad. In comparison, my Macs are a 2013 Macbo

Doesn't happen on iOS though, which leads me to think it must be a limitation of the Bluetooth hardware in Macs but not in iPhones and iPads?

Yep, happens any time the AirPods mic is activated on MacOS, has been that way since launch as far as I know. Doesn't happen on iOS. I can only assume it has something to do with the Bluetooth hardware or they would have fixed it by no

The situation for Fortnite as it was may have been dire, but as a company I imagine UE4 licensing would have kept them in business at the very least.

I tend to agree except for languages where the plugin ecosystem on VSC is still lacking. Ruby, for example. RubyMine is still much nicer by comparison, especially when working with Rails.
