I don't like them. I had an ELO touchscreen monitor at work before. I used it for a few days, but it caused me severe RSI issues in my shoulders, so I have no interest in a touchscreen laptop.
How is that different than any other car? Most modern cars lock their doors when you put them in gear, making breaking the glass the only option to get in during an emergency.
The manual override is so obvious that half my passengers use it instead of the button.
I use Rust and prefer Elixir over Gleam because Elixir has Lisp-style macros (Gleam doesn't), uses OTP directly, has the fantastic IEx REPL (Gleam has no counterpart), and has Phoenix, the best web framework I've ever…
Comparing learning one language's concurrency model with learning another language's entire ecosystem is incommensurable. Having learned both Go and Elixir, I found Elixir easier to learn and a lot more enjoyable to…
Yeah, but ddevault is well-known for being abrasive and disagreeable when people don't do all the things that he wants to do. EDIT: I'm not excusing this behavior at all. I find it detestable. I'm just pointing out that…
Why don't you install it in a VM and try it instead of embracing biased presuppositions that may or may not be correct? Also, I disagree that it has 0 improvements. For example: 1. Defaulting to the Windows key instead…
Isn’t that expected, though? If 100 of us were to write a five page essay on the chaffing mechanics of an Underoos wedgie, the likelihood that any of them are the same is pretty small, isn’t it?
I'm a writer with what may be an unpopular opinion. I have a college degree in creative writing; I do technical writing and programming for a living, and I used to publish technical articles on Linux, Python, Elixir,…
Yes. They work fine in Chrome. Mellel is the only app I can think of where they don’t work.
Vitamin D is a lifesaver for me. I'm severely deficient, and if I don't take about 10,000 IU a day, I seem to get colds every five minutes.
Yes. Basic emacs keybindings work pretty much everywhere in macOS. I have run into a couple of apps that don’t behave correctly, but 99% of the time they work.
I was going to trade in an old truck and buy my daughter a Tiguan this weekend. I guess I’ll rethink that.
Self-help non-fiction books killed themselves by focusing on entertainment, in the form of amusing anecdotes, rather than substance. Most self-help books could be reduced to a 3-by-5 card without losing any of the core…
I use Karabiner-Elements on macOS, and finding keyd was a godsend on Linux. I cannot deal with standard keyboard mappings and the lack of hold/tap keys.
I made a modal editor, like Vim and Helix, in Rust that has some prose features I wanted, and with a keybinding system I find more logical and consistent.
I've found that if I apply for any company that uses Workday, it's an immediate rejection, so I don't bother with them anymore.
Neither do I.
LLMs seem to have an easy time with Elixir and Phoenix in my testing.
I find Elixir's memory and threading models much more compelling than Go's for web services. There are many great libraries for Elixir as well, but if you need something else, Elixir makes rolling your own libraries…
I just found my BeOS 5 and BeProductive CDs from the late 90s. I wish I had something to run them on.
Philips is the company that came up with the term "Compact Disc" for CDs, so we can blame them for goofing up the regional spellings and making the world more confusing. I think Alan Shugart (or at least his team at…
I have been around for a similar amount of time. Another change I have seen over the years is the shift from programming being an exercise in creative excellence at work to being a white-collar ditch-digging job.
I'm currently using Niri+Noctalia just to try them out, but I typically use Gnome and like it quite a bit for its simple, clean interface. I use macOS and Linux, and the way GNOME works makes switching between them…
Django is perfectly capable. I'd use Phoenix for its scalability and performance, if it were me, but I've built large-scale projects in Django before, and it worked well.
