There is no privacy concern here. Probably monopoly concerns. Personally I would consider withholding products or features from the EU, not because I want to "steal everyone's data…

I dislike duopolies /s

I've always felt worrying whether foods are "processed" was to focus on the wrong metric. It also sounds like some kind of Luddite moral judgment when I hear people talk about it.

Supported with updates for 3 years? So you'll change the battery once, I guess.

What is this doing on the front page?

I'm probably going to give Sublime another try. For one, I'm finicky about colors and VS code makes it easy to tweak one or two colors of a theme without getting involved in forkin…

I've made extensive use of this and it is a killer feature of VS code for me. Still, I wish it supported all of CSS like Atom did.

I checked back regularly for years to look for signs of life in Atom. There weren't any. Last blog? 2019. None of the releases did anything interesting. I work in Vue.js and needed…

Atom was doing great and I was happy with it until VS code started to create nuclear winter, freezing other efforts. I will gladly pay a premium for someone to offer me I real VS C…

I think Formula E is kind of useless. Racing competitions can be a good engine for innovation, but last I heard Formula E has all cars using a standard battery. Isn't the battery t…

I think there are stress/psychological factors. I developed RSI while being in a very bad living & working situation. I've switched to COLEMAK and I still have pain. Does that mean…

If I'm reading this right, I think UltraRAM doesn't solve this problem. From the article: > its fast switching speed and program-erase cycling endurance is "one hundred to one thou…

It is absolutely extra work. You have to test every mode of operation. So to support those with JS disabled (about 1.3% of users according to some quick searches) you have to test …

Until this moment I didn't know the Apple version of bash was outdated, I reluctantly started using zsh when Apple defaulted to that. Now I don't care about bash. Was that good for…

That's exactly what I meant. You were forced to do extra work to support mobile Safari or else exclude Apple customers. That decision is made over and over again by teams everywher…

Broken HTML+CSS in Safari? Examples? I started using Safari as my daily driver because I use all apple devices and I like extending my battery life. Before deciding that, I did sti…

In practice it's not that great. I hosted meetings on Zoom with 4-5mbps up (based on my tests and my recollection since it's been a year-ish). It was fine until my wife connected s…

When is google going to offer to transfer my photos to iCloud? I've done it using their export.. it was a nightmare. Dates aren't preserved.

Never used it but there's a port/clone of Django in Go called Beego ( https://beego.me/ ).

> You can't expect normal people to browse with JS disabled > This is the real answer to the question, "why is my computer so slow"? Yes I can. That's one of my criteria to start t…

It should be pretty easy to tell what ratio of hits had JS disabled. If it’s more than a tiny minority, I’d do something. I have plenty of things to talk to users about without get…

A Firefox based Electron was tried: Positron. It was scrapped for some reason or other (lack of traction?): https://github.com/mozilla/positron

I agree $3/month is reasonable for email, but since the encryption backdoor laws passed in Australia in Dec 2018, I've been avoiding Australian software.
