Here's some of the Apple gear from my family. Macbook Pro from 2008: Still boots iPhone 4 (2010): Still functioning (although obviously does not run latest OS) iPhone 5s (2013): St…

My problem with podcast ads is how repetitive they are. I'm at a point where I hate squarespace so much because nearly every podcast I listen to is sponsored by them. Same goes for…

It's been a long time since I've looked at Rails. Is there anything similar to Railscasts (free or paid) but up to date with latest Rails features?

From the article: > Artists who work on gory cinematics integral to games like Mortal Kombat suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Is it really someone else's fault if someon…

The overwhelming majority of migration into Europe is not due to any war or terror. It is economic migration primarily from sub-Saharan Africa which is why you comparatively see so…

Also, see NATO members who can avoid defense expenditure because US is their defacto defense force.

The definition of bigotry has tilted so far to the radical left that expressing simple, widely expected scientific findings get you labeled as a bigot/racist/sexist/alt-right/etc. …

Ah, yes, the widespread cancer of critical theory strikes Redis.

This. I wish Signal's own native apps had the user experience of Telegram.

I use Apple Pay regularly (multiple times per month) at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Starbucks and Coffee Bean. On more rare occasions when I do end up shopping for cloths in person,…

Can someone explain to me why they want to show you the ad even when they don't care if you look at it, let alone click on it? Are advertisers still paying for just showing the ad?…
