I grew up on Windows but when I came to macOS I went hard into key commands; the UI is a lot more uniform so using a combination of key commands and Trackpad gestures you can fly through tasks pretty quickly.

On macOS I just type the first few letters of the file/folder and because it’s in alphabetical order, I find it immediately. I don’t want to have to think “oh is this a file or a folder” then scroll around to the appropriate area.

This reminds me of users who complain about <select> fields on websites: they always want some weird sorting instead of just tabbing into the field and typing a few letters.

I don’t think the “average user” is going to drop Finder to use the terminal.

In fact though I’m not an “average user”and use bash, zsh pretty much every day, there are still some things I’d rather do in Finder.

Yeah, I don’t know why having folders at the top would make anything easier.

zsh? I mean, I use that too… but what does that have to do with anything?

I’ll say that as much as I love Apple and macOS, Finder has some pretty terrible defaults that make file management pretty difficult for the average user. The default “All Files” view is atrocious.

God I hated that about Python. Why tf we capitalizing True and False?

Same with Ruby at this point. Someone needs to create a new RubyGems without all the c. 2009 abandonware shit.

[T]he x86_64-apple-darwin target moves to Tier-2 due to Apple and GitHub reducing x86_64 macOS support

What does that mean? How can GitHub reduce x86_64 support in Rust?

TablePlus and Postico on macOS are where it’s at. DataGrip is shit and you’ll never get me to use it.

I don’t mind this problem so much but what does drive me crazy with Docker images is that oftentimes all those crazy top level files are included in the Docker image (for no reason). I’ve even seen .git/ in Docker images.

I prefer the Dockerfile itself to be at the top level but it feels like no one wants to keep their layers clean. But writing Dockerfile syntax is an art form in itself that I probably shouldn’t continue rambling about here.

Depending on the application could you just mount a filesystem that supports encryption? Even if it’s just mounting a .tar file.

It’s the same for me but it’s my two chihuahuas. I work from home and they’re always by my side: we go on walks together, and I give them lots of attention throughout the day. Hell, I spend more time with them than I do my wife (who works 30 mi away)! They understand me and I understand them.

Feeling burned out from the week, I’ll be going to a semi-formal dinner party that I’m not in the mood for Saturday.

Isn’t that Bootstrap’s “info” blue too?

Then why respond?

I know, but why? Not trying to be a hater but why not just use the native words?

I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana
