3rd actually, Sunrise was a fantastic calendar app. Microsoft is a blight on the world.

Is what VS Code does different from using an SFTP mount plugin like remote-edit on Atom?
PascLeRasc··on Sunsetting Atom
I think Atom was perfect, for what it's worth. I've always found it to be faster than VS Code.
PascLeRasc··on Citigroup plans to hire 4k tech staff
It is by far the worst website I've ever had to use regularly. It's painful even when it's working.
PascLeRasc··on Confess your love with zero-knowledge
This explained zero knowledge so much easier than that parable about the caves, thank you.
PascLeRasc··on Varo Bank could run out of funds by year-end
I haven't been able to find a credit union near me that doesn't have cult-like behavior. As in the president showing up at my home several times to ask why I didn't activate my debit card yet. Or an application with fine print about them pulling my credit report and reaching out to every credit card listed and cancelling them so I can use their card exclusively.
PascLeRasc··on TomTom to cut 10% of jobs due to improved automation
What's a typical ratio of total salary to market cap? I don't have a reference of if 2x is good or not.
PascLeRasc··on Reasons to ditch Chrome and use Firefox
Fidelity won't let me log in on Firefox. I've tried everything anyone has to suggest, and I don't care anymore because I moved to Vanguard instead.
PascLeRasc··on Is DuckDuckGo, DuckDuckDone?
You can simply pay $10/month/device to have separate accounts. Privacy is worth it!

Biden is bad too.

That wasn't claimed.
PascLeRasc··on Credit Scores Can Run – and Ruin – Our Lives
If this doesn't work, submit another dispute around Thanksgiving - the creditors have 30 days to respond before it's automatically resolved in your favor. In my experience it does actually feel good to do this.

The fire wasn't the main safety issue of the story.

Check out the Leopold FC660 series. I think the layout is perfect.
PascLeRasc··on Preview, the Mac app people forget about
PDF splitting sites and DiffChecker.com are some of the best industrial espionage tools ever created.
PascLeRasc··on Preview, the Mac app people forget about
How can I find the image I'm looking for in a folder of 100+? On Mac it's just Spacebar + down arrow until you find it. If you're aware of a way to do this on Windows without installing anything you'll be a lifesaver.
PascLeRasc··on Ask HN: What are your favorite examples of elegant software?
Spotlight. Everything about it is really well-thought out. I use it dozens of times every day to convert units or hold strings or check the weather.

Would you mind sharing more about your experience? And what made you decide to change careers in the first place?
PascLeRasc··on Ask HN: What happened to Twitter poison pill?
Thanks for asking, I had the same question and I thought it was some NYSE agreement I agreed to with Robinhood when I signed up.

It's a modern reimagining of the regency environment. If you pay attention you'll notice that most of the soundtrack are covers of pop songs.

PascLeRasc··on BBEdit is 30 years old today
I've found the typing latency to be significantly lower in BBEdit. Plus the UI gets out of your way easier.

Speaking of Textmate do you know if there's any way to support its development? The license shop has been unavailable the whole time I've used it.
PascLeRasc··on Ask HN: Where can we find the unsexy jobs?
Most of the younger people have degrees in Computer Information Systems
PascLeRasc··on Ask HN: Where can we find the unsexy jobs?
Thanks, it's so reassuring to hear this.
PascLeRasc··on Ask HN: Where can we find the unsexy jobs?
Pittsburgh, PA. Every big company here - PNC, UPMC, Highmark, Fedex, Norfolk Southern, Duquesne Light - will pay you $65-70k/year at most. I met an IT director at one of these companies who told me that open source is a communist movement and so he's banned it. The dress code is very relaxed - if you stay late all week you can earn jeans Fridays!

At all of these companies you will be forced to use Internet Explorer 11 and you'll program in a remote desktop Notepad.exe on Windows Server 2012. Doing anything else is explicitly banned. The programming language is a proprietary version of Visual Basic with all the functions renamed and changed slightly so the vendor can control access to the $5k/year documentation, which is still horribly written. You will sign an agreement not to ever ask or answer questions about the language on Stack Overflow too. The vendor of these languages doesn't really exist beyond an email address like "sales@enterprisereadypython.com" - they will gaslight you that this is the real Python and python.org is a scam, "if you're not paying you're the product!". None of your coworkers will know what you're talking about when you mention Git or Linux.

PascLeRasc··on An Ode to Apple’s Hide My Email
I use an @fastmail domain. The issue was how they handle RSVPs when your default calendar is an external one. RSVPing from within Fastmail attempted to Accept as my old Gmail address, who wasn't invited to the interview. On the interviewers end it looked like I didn't respond.
