Many communities exist, but mostly on paper.

What I haven't found yet is something substantial and informative like /r/askhistorians.

Hm it's probably "bundle with the hardware, make sure the hardware really works and there's a price incentive vs Windows".

As long as you have to actively migrate (including backing up, losing access to several commercial apps) and could end up in the situation that your hardware isn't 100% working or you're workflow isn't really supported?

Yeah and you can even have a Linux like experience with nix.

But it's a lot like Linux except when it isn't... There's a lot of little differences. And things like cross compiling from MacOs to non-Mach targets really sucks because it seems like often people do not really maintain such a usecase.

Did you get your audio volume fixed? My ThinkPad is so quiet on Linux (Silverblue) that it's hard to use it for anything with media.

Seems like the whole article can be condensed to "Dragging and dropping text does what you expect. Dragging and dropping directories/files will insert the absolute path".

Some thoughts from my side (coming from another domain - more embedded):

  • Whether you use a message string or a named bool does not change anything. It's still logging.
  • It's of course nice to just trace everything and filter / search afterwards, but in embedded for example your machine may just crash if you try that. For that log levels are the traditional way to filter before a log is written.
  • I don't get how timestamping / ordering is necessarily worse for logging. Maybe it's just the framework that is used?
  • You sure can have hierarchical information in log frameworks

In my opinion log levels sure make sense, but it may vary wildly depending on what you're doing. We run our software in different environments:

  • Development machines / VMs
  • Development boards
  • Production ECUs

And it's run by different sets of people:

  • Devs
  • Integrators
  • Customers
  • ...

Depending on the combination of where / who you get different requirements.

I get that Logging is hard and often you get messages with a wrong log level or you're missing a message at a crucial point etc. But tracing is not better in every way - they should complement each other.

I do have small kids and thus not a lot of time for myself. The time I do have I spend on martial arts, kettlebells, learning to play the guitar or just hanging on the couch reading and trying not to fall asleep. If the kids are awake I'm mostly doing stuff with them like playing with Lego, role playing or whatever they feel like in the moment.

I know about those "workarounds", but it's ridiculous that the regular UI (including media buttons!) is more or less useless 🙂

Valuable background information, although it seems kind of pedantic as "channels" is just used for the legacy way as there doesn't seem to be a better term for it.

I use it for two reasons:

  • 90% of martial arts seminars in my region are organized via Facebook events.
  • I need an account to maintain our sport clubs page

But I wouldn't say I enjoy it...

Does this then also work for the media buttons? Then maybe I should try to rebase...

OR just do some grappling, it's really a lot of fun and just great overall.

But if you just want to fake being a martial artist I recommend just buying a black belt and wearing it everywhere. It's just as stupid, but cheaper and less painful. Or maybe instead of elf ears you can buy cosplay cauliflower ears to wear...🙄

Why would XCode be a problem? But I fully understand that for FOSS projects - especially without easy&cheap Mac CI solutions you're back in the 90s of manual testing etc...

Oh I absolutely agree that it's really bad, but for most (non-ios) things you Don have to use it?

Yeah we're talking about different kinds of software. I'm mainly talking about CLI software and it seems like I didn't notice that Jetbrains killed Appcode...
