AT&T Fiber in Round Rock, TX (Austin metro area) 940 down; 939 up - per Speednet's macOS app via Ethernet directly to AT&T's supplied router. Unfortunately, I'm paying $80.42/mo. a…

A tale of two companies (true story)... I worked for a company a full year that always prioritized new features over bug fixes, or even QA. This was a sales-driven company. For var…

There may be other IDEs/Editors that this is available for, but I really enjoy the freeCodeCamp Dark Theme: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=freeCode...

I stuck to Mojave for essentially the same reason. Then I found out you could provision another volume, install Mojave on it, and treat the Mac like a dual-boot machine. When I nee…

I, too, have used Typora for years whilst in Beta. I appreciated it's approach and features enough that I've paid for it. Alternately, there's a free editor called MarkText that is…

My wife was at a meeting, and a friend's kid spilled water all over the table they were sitting at (her phone was sitting on the table). Same thing - Pixel 4a indicated it wouldn't…

Not trying to be reductionistic, but you might start with "Economics in One Lesson". Yes, a lot of Libertarians accept all the premises prima fascie, but that doesn't mean it's not…

We kept chickens at our last house (Austin, TX area) for about 5 years. That's the first time I had the "ah-ha!" experience of "omigosh - I've been eating plastic all these years!"…

I began WFH in October, 2018. At first it was a bit disorienting, and I found myself struggling with anxiety about my performance. Instead of "enjoying" and 8-hour day (minus a com…

I switched to Nimbus Note a few years back - no real regrets. Minor issue (vs. Evernote): it's not "smart" like Evernote and doesn't know how to suggest the right tags or categorie…

Kudos to you in sharing your story, and congrats on your 4-month "sobriety"! My youngest son actually had to go to a detox program for video games (in the Seattle area). It didn't …

2 + 1 Moderna - pro-vax; anti-mandate!
