The main benefit of it is a lot of the MAGA movement will wither with him gone. Someone will be a successor to it, but I don’t think anyone is as influential to that movement as he is.

With the new Mac, on the otherwise of the laptop there is a 3.5mm combo jack, so you can still use your IEMs and headphones.

Depends on what kind of programmer.

If you’re doing data engineering/science (more of an adjacent field), you need to know linear and probability pretty well to build models, or have data harvested in ways that can be put into vectors.

If you’re doing relational DB stuff (like SQL) set theory helps a lot.

Basic boolean operations in general is also good to know. You don’t need to go too deep in the weeds of boolean math unless you’re also doing a lot of hardware-level stuff.

Any field you go into (not just programming), I would say just basic math for regular financial competency is good to know. Also to analyze your budgeting, your costs, time spent, effort needed, etc.

Very different. Restaurants don’t buy up every food resource out there or cause artificial scarcity to make them the only option. Groceries are still a cheaper and healthier option 95% of the time.

I actually do. Upscaling, fast forwarding, modding, cheats, save states are all nice QoLs. A lot of emulators for these retro consoles are pretty platform independent too, so I can run them from anything from a PC, a handheld device, phone, other gaming consoles or smart fridge with my choice of peripherals.

I just saw the news for Nexus mods like 20 minutes after I posted that. Hopefully it can be integrated well soon.

But yes, over time, things will continue to get better. Even Nvidia finally started working on open drivers for their GPUs.

A lot of mods are also windows locked too.

Ahh, the old crowd sourcing the testing tactic, classic.

If you mean Visual Studio IDE (not VS Code), it’s actually the most robust fully featured IDE I’ve used. Using other IDEs, including other frameworks or languages, don’t come as close.

Easy management for external packages, easy build and project dependency mappings, easy unit test suites, etc. A lot of extensions work great out of the box (DB integrations, code coverage tools, security/vulnerability tools, benchmark testing, etc.).

Seeing as a lot of C#/.NET things are open source now, I wish that they would also work on an IDE for Mac and Linux. They’re about to retire the Mac preview VS, which didn’t compare to the Windows counterpart, but still usable.

Sounds exactly the same for a regular IT help desk job in a company that runs all windows or Mac.

I love MusicBee. Was browsing through this post to see if anyone recommended anything that is similar to it, but still nothing.

They also said in a memo maybe 2 years ago they want WotC to be worth double their value in 5 years. That’s pretty unrealistic standards for an already established company.

If you’re not playing games that require kernel level anti-cheats, chances are, they already work on Linux.

If your running Steam, enable running proton in settings. If your running GoG or Epic, use Heroic Launcher.

I’ve been Linux mainly since 2019. Only thing I really go back to Windows for is Photoshop and Vegas.

Thanks! It looks like libinput-gestures might be one of the missing puzzle pieces I need for making it feel like a mac again!

I used to use Pop! on my desktop for years, until an update they did a few years ago I didn’t like, and I switched out of the distro. Never gave it another chance, but maybe I can revisit it for this mbp.

Do you know if you are able to map and do all the multi-touch gestures on it fine? And have you tried remapping some of the keys with the CMD button?
