Your comment is so bloody weird. It gives off vibes of those dudes who one day shave their heads and then spend the rest of their lives telling you you should get rid of anger and embrace the light and all that rubbish.…
Aldens vs cheapo 20 dollar amazon boots would be a better comparison. You ain't wearing Crocs with a suit my man.
No, I think we need to stop contriving obviously skewed examples like Aldens vs Crocs. Boots vs shitty holey rubber sandals isn't a good comparison. Maybe compare backpack, or suits, or something along those lines.
I think what the parent meant is that, once Apple decided that the Mac Pro should have the M2 chips, they must have targetted feature parity with the intel versions, aka in the amount of RAM. But presumably, they…
That book is life changing, if it's 'How To Win Friends'. Maybe for an older person, this stuff is trivial, but for a younger me, it taught me just how much we as a species think only of ourselves, how you can never win…
Is this what counts for discourse nowadays? Vacuous, lazy, teenage stream-of-consciousness spewed out into a world already inundated by attention-grabs and staggering under the burden of too much information. What a…
My god, thank you! Why don't people talk more about key travel? I've had many types of keyboards. Split, tented, columnar layout. The one that does the best for me is a keychron low profile ten-keyless. Just because of…
Amen. It's a shame dell released that one 8K monitor and peaced out. It's still available but it's expensive as hell, and I could not for the life of me justify needing dual DP cables. But I'm constantly tempted...
Yep. Best of all, you can download trial versions of all of these to try them out.
First, the font that we are used to has an outsize impact on what we prefer. So, if neither of these 'sit right', don't worry. Digital font designers have to start out by choosing something called the em-height. This is…
Not what your point is, but I'm all for it. I love Cascadia Code, Jetbrains Mono, JuliaMono. I love IBM Plex Sans, I love Source Serif and Source Sans. I love Cooper Hewitt. We live in truly the golden age of reading…
You'll love Linus Boman's take on it then [1] If you love neo-grotesques, you can't do much better than Neue Haas Grotesk or Atlas Grotesk [2]. Both are by CommercialType, both cost a pretty penny, but both are…
I'm in the 100% scaling camp also. I love how good a 32" 4K display is forfitting mountains of content on a display. Don't need to bother with Portrait monitors anymore.
Maybe not enough, but certainly some. I'm not a software person, and yet my personal machine now runs linux, exactly _because_ of Microsoft's wankery with no local accounts, uninstallable Edge, Cortana, news on the…
Maybe this is a good moment to rant, but I just don't get what the fuck it is that Chrome does that people just _will not_ get off the Chromium ride. They will happily bend over a table for Google/MS, all in order to…
Great, so you won't make the piles of money that RHEL does, but maybe you'll enjoy your work more.
I'm very curious what kinds of fixes you're talking about. Would you mind expanding a bit on what's broken and how you fixed things?
No. What if I need to share tabular data? An annotated image with discussion straight after it? Equations? People will have you make everything an attachment but that is much worse in terms of context switching.…
What I don't understand is how _file explorer_ can be so slow. It's visibly lagging between directories, first-opening etc. That's a fundamental part of the OS. I believe there is so much phone-home going on that…
What do you think GP meant with "By all means test your work on a similar machine..."
Ouch. It really does take all sorts. Courier New is the most appalling piece of shit I've ever seen in my life. It's ugly at small sizes, jagged and unpleasant at medium sizes, and abhorrent at display sizes. WOW do I…
Zen. And MaxTabs. I limit myself to 5 tabs by force. Anything more, it means I'm becoming scatterbrained and need to revisit what I already have opened and think more linearly rather than in a spastic manner. I tried…
The paper is delightfully laid out. What fonts are you using in the plots?
Man, your website is the shit and one of the better examples of an antidote to the Website Obesity Crisis. Words over hero images.
Is this journalism? The first sentence itself is incorrect. > But since reports have been surfacing for a while now that [...]. Well, what about it? You cannot start a sentence with "But since" and not offer a what it…
