Could only dream to have rent that is 500$! ;)
bori5··on Tradition Is Smarter (2018)
Reminds me of the railway gauges, space shuttle and horses ass story, can't find the original link but here's one on reddit which summarizes it, hope i'm not spreading some urban myth: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/comments/5mh5mv/railroad_trac...
bori5··on Google vs. Oracle: The Supreme Court will decide software development’s future?
We always see the anti-Oracle/FreeAPI’s regards this story, but I’m curious who out there is on Oracles side in this? Are there any other major players or even small ones that people know of that would like to see Oracle win this case ?
bori5··on Bash $* and $@ (2017)
bash is ubiquitous, and for me who grew up pre-python, which I probably should start learning for bash like tasks.

bori5··on Gitea 1.10.0 Released
Great software and I've started using it for some hobby stuff on my Macbook. Some of the default setup locations such as /usr/local/bin/custom/app.ini could be better, heck app.ini in that location could be anything! The FAQ at https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/faq/ does give a clear indication of where things go, so I put all my stuff in ~/.gitea and, a simple alias takes care of starting Gitea: alias giteaweb='gitea web -c ~/.gitea/custom/conf/gitea.ini'

Over 1500 comments and not a single word that MATLAB runs 2x faster on this new Mac than before.
bori5··on We are leaving the Apple App Store and all its problems
I install far more programs/apps using Homebrew than AppStore or direct links for most things, wish more paid apps where that way.
bori5··on Why iOS 13 and Catalina Are So Buggy
Yep just noticed this today. Why remove this feature ? Did people complain about this during beta and Apple ignore it. Although zooming in by pinching and then double tapping reverts to original size which is nowhere near as useful. Fingers crossed for a point release that brings this back.
bori5··on Neovim v0.4.0
I feel like I need a PhD in configuring vim to do that stuff. The fact vim has been around forever and still hasn’t caught up with an IDE for ease of use doesn’t convince me at this point to use it for coding Java. Eclipse/IntelliJ is simple download and everything ready to go, git integration, all kinds of auto complete , debugger, etc... you hit the ground running pretty much. Can’t say the same about vim for Java, but think it’s fantastic that progress is being made to close the gap. Now where’s the simple one line config command to get me started ;) ....
bori5··on Neovim v0.4.0
Love vim but would hate to use it for Java where I found an IDE such as Eclipse much easier to work with. Back in the day when I used to do that sort of thing.

bori5··on Motion smoothing is ruining cinema
Cilantro. The worst! In 24fps or otherwise.
bori5··on Standard Ebooks: Free public-domain ebooks, carefully produced
For iOS there’s something called KyBook which reads that opds link and shows a list of books with cover art, book name, author and tags pertaining to the books subject matter. It does not allow one to search the opds library in anyway. I was able to download a book using the app, and from within the app move the book to iCloud. From within the Files app I found the KyBook folder, selected the book and using share opened it with iBooks and it is now in my iBooks collection. I found the app here https://www.maketecheasier.com/best-ebook-reader-ios/
bori5··on Apple expected to adopt keyboard with scissor mechanism for 16-inch MacBook Pro
There’s tools out there like BetterTouchTool and I imagine several others than allow you to do this and more.

What about Numbers given where talking MacOS and syncs across iOS and it’s basically free ? Seems like it would fit the bill for this kind of scenario.
bori5··on Apple has pushed a silent Mac update to remove hidden Zoom web server
