One of my favourite episodes of Archer has a similar plot to this (Mr. Deadly Goes to Town). TIL this is one of the references!

I had the same problem and had some luck cleaning things up by enabling "calculate all sizes" in Finder, which will show you the total directory size, and makes it a bit easier to look for where the big stuff is hiding. You'll also want to make sure to look through hidden directories like ~/Library; I found a bunch of Docker-related stuff in there which turned out to be where a lot of my disk space went.

You can enable "calculate all sizes" in Finder with Cmd+J. I think it only works in list view however.

I really miss those little Ford Rangers. Perfect size for hauling stuff around town if you need to, but still small enough to be a grocery getter too.

The newer models seem to be trying to appeal to the “big truck” people, but in a way that those same people won’t want

Re:Loneliness is stronger when not alone on Tuesday June 20, 2023 @10:14AM (#36404285)
I agree that it might be due to where we grow up ... I grew up in a forest on an island with few people living within walking distance. But I've been living in a small city for about 14 years, and more and more I long to go back to living somewhere were there aren't all these people around. Or more importantly, to somewhere so much more _quiet_.

This sounds way too specific to be a hypothetical

Re:Shortage of COBOL developers in insurance and banks on Wednesday May 24, 2023 @08:24AM (#36057019)
You’ve never encountered COBOL because it sounds like you’ve never worked on the part which is usually referred to as the “core banking system”.

Many legacy banking cores are still in use and the legacy ones are all written in COBOL.

The world does not improve uniformly or get worse uniformly.

What’s good for most is bad for some and vice versa.

I'd say, no accelerator on earth is giving anyone almost $40k worth of value
Re:Using a Framework will harm the maintenance of your software on Thursday October 13, 2022 @12:54PM (#33193593)
"[Frameworks] have different goals than you or your team."

Seems like if that's the case, then you've selected the wrong framework more than frameworks as a whole are bad.
