I can confirm FeeeBSD is very stable on my 2008 UniBody MacBook. Even Suspend/Resume works

Yet, most people end up down scaling to 1440p due to the sub-par AMD graphics it comes with

> They even took away the escape key

Wait, really?

Fallout 4, Skyrim, Guild Wars 2, World of Warcraft and many more popular games are heavily CPU bound. Also, considering this is hacker news I think we can assume the gp doesn't need "just" a gaming PC

> these are all equivalent

I'm almost positive that isn't the case. Need to find my copy of Effective Modern C++ and get back to you. It's been a while

Are you on a Mac? I used to do this to

Firefox also offers amazing stability on FreeBSD when compared to Chromium. That alone is what converted me.

I did make sure my motherboard was Hackintosh compatible. It's for sure on my to-do list of things to try when I have the time.

To be honest, I use Windows 10 as my daily driver on the PC. Xubuntu is on the chromebook.

After being an Apple "Loyalist" for over 15 years, I recently sold my rMBP and built a desktop (i7 4790k, GTX 1080, 16Gb DDR3 @ 2933Mhz). It was by far the best hardware decision I have ever made. Building the system was an absolute blast. Plus, I now have an extremely powerful PC with first class Linux support, tons of I/O ports, and no vendor lock in. The best part is it cost me about 1/3 of the price of a (maxed-out) Mac.

As for portability, I bought a ARM Chromebook and installed Xubuntu. I also have an iPad and iPhone. The three get the job done.

The toughest part of leaving OS X was knowing I was also leaving hobby OS X and iOS development. And homebrew. Man, I will miss homebrew.

You make a great point. Can anyone explain why software is exempt from this?

For anyone looking at e-cigarettes, I have recommend the JUUL [0] as it is by the far the safest, best pulling, and sleekest looking e-cigarette I've tried. The only downside is that there isn't a simple way to reduce nicotine content. That aside, it's a wonderful little piece of hardware.

Visual Studio Code really shines on Mac and Linux where there is no VS2015 available

Excellent news. Now I might actually learn PowerShell

As a newcomer, FreeBSD's new pkg tool is what sold me to the platform. I am too new school to to deal with Ports. I don't get much of a rush out of compiling my own binaries.

I love José's talks but I wish he would show more code along with his diagrams. It's easier to conceptualize new features that way

I'm currently working through the book Programming Phoenix and it's going well.

I would love more video tutorials because I personally prefer them to books. There was one where Chris went through building a chat app, but it's very outdated now.

Elixir and Phoenix. I want to be a meta-programming guru by 2017. I'm having a blast so far.

I can finally uninstall BackspaceMeansBackspace!

Everything changed when Tony Iommi cut the tips of his fingers in a factory accident and had tune his guitar lower resulting in the signature Black Sabbath sound

Swift doesn't have a GC and you can use it to program like C with malloc and free via UnsafeMutablePointer<T>.

IIRC, Swift's runtime is like C++'s with v-table lookup for dispatch on functions that do not involve Objective-C objects.

I have yet to a shred of evidence for this 20 year theory

You're second paragraph is a cruel wish on the lives of millions. You wish this cruelty for the petty purpose of being on the right side of an argument

The idea that Miami will be gone in 20 years and not 200 is a ridiculous one. I live here on an island by the sea, I guess that doesn't make me a geotechtonista but it gives me some perspective other people in their basements in middle America might not have.

As someone who lives in Miami your comments come across as hilariously exaggerated

I have been in and out of depression and obsessive isolation. The one thing that gets me through the hell that comes with it is my ability to (eventually) reach out to my friends and family.

If you're ever feeling like you can't get through the dark times, please reach out to those who care about you. Even if those relationships are purely online.

It helps to be reminded you're not alone, even when that seems like a trivial or obvious Sometimes we tend to avoid the simplest and most elegant solutions because they're not as mentally stimulating -- it's the part of the double edged sword of an analytical mind. At least that's the case for me.

The unit times definitely depends on how trim you keep your configure. My OMZ takes about 1-2 seconds to init on my slowest machine

> if someone has a bunch of endorsements for a particular skill I suspect they actually don't know much about it.

I disagree with your reasoning here. While I agree endorsements are useless, I also believe that makes them more or less meaningless. I don't think jumping to conclusions based on endorsements, weather positive or negative, is a good idea.

Yes, It's different for everyone. I didn't mean to accuse of being one of those people, I was speaking generally there. I'm sorry if my phrasing was bad. My main concern is that people are scared to admit they use the best, because they will be accused of being criminals. The stigma is harmful.

Imagine if somebody is writing down there dreams, writing there intimate deep thoughts, tracking symptoms of a medicine, using drugs recreationally...etc. These things might be very very private and be totally abusable outside of context.

I actually intend for my private data to die with me. I have gone out of my way to guarantee that it will. In my view, if I haven't published it, then it shouldn't be accessible.

I have absolutely nothing to hide. I have simply always treated my privacy as something that was valuable in it of itself. Perhaps even more valuable than the photos I clearly opted to not share with others, to go off your example.

I also don't understand why it's so absurd for some people to conceptualize non-malicious things you wouldn't wasn't to share with anyone but yourself. Hell, I have tons of notes and things I write to myself that I definitely do not want to be seen by anyone. They simply weren't written with the intention to be read by others. So I don't sympathize with desire to make a deceased person's private things accessible, even to family. Let it burn. It might have been the owner's intention all along.
