I would pay for commercial support, an API, and maybe a webhook or some programmatic way to be notified of changes.

> (no date, though, so I don't know how recent). This has been one of my biggest peeves about the WWW since 1993. Please include publication and/or change dates and/or include a ch…

> I’m struggling to recall the locations of the concentration camps in the USA. My reply was to the above statement.

I can help you remember the locations with the help of Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_America...

The only thing to which you are entitled–by definition–is access to the source. It is your responsibility to verify what the source does. The "getting paid" notion is off-topic and…

I only care about the individualized ethics. You do you.

Android uses the Linux kernel, which, to old-heads like me, is Linux, whereas the combination of userland and kernel was GNU/Linux. ChromeOS also uses the Linux kernel. If you are …

Happily picking an opinion: I won't use phone apps; I won't buy new computers or devices, though I infrequently buy refurbished; I won't buy new cars; I carefully vet all vendors f…

I'm not at all saying that they are equivalent, just that they should not be forgotten.

I fell hard out-of-love with fantasy about the time of the release of Jackson's TFotR, which coincided with a hard "nope" to the fantasy "science" fiction of the Star Wars universe…

No. It won't die. In the same way that memory of the Holocaust won't die (hopefully), or that memory of Putin's invasion of Ukraine won't die (hopefully), or that the memory of the…

More seriously, though, I am not far-sighted. I do not need corrective lenses to read books, newsprint, magazines, or labels at the grocery store despite the possible genetic predi…

I call it "wisdom". :-)

In the same minute that I learned GitHub had been acquired by Microsoft, I cancelled my pro subscription and began moving my critical repositories elsewhere. I'm old enough to reme…

I try to work seven days a week four hours a day for the last ten years. It is an attempt to avoid burnout, but I also find I solve more of the truly hard problems away from the ke…

I know the estuarine river very well in my part of the world and the approximate distances between various landmarks and aids to navigation. Places I don't know as well, I use near…

Totally agree! I live in my own bubble and discount everything written on the internet by some (often arbitrary) percentage. (Dons flame-retardant suit.) I double that percentage i…

I wore glasses for a few years in high school because I had trouble seeing the blackboard from anywhere but the front row. I started hiking and kayaking every day, especially in pl…

We are careful not to play favorites with customers, whether the relationship is direct or through a reseller. Success for our resellers translates into success for us. Every unit …

I bumped into a friend on the street a year ago he and told me about the business he had recently co-founded and taken through YC: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/partnered .…

We have our own customers, too. In addition, the folks white-labelling use us in-house. We aren't strangers to the companies receiving our white-labelled SaaS; we do the initial cu…

My business does exactly this. We have a very small sales team, but the firms white-labelling us have tens-to-hundreds of folks in sales and marketing, and sometimes provide a SaaS…

I was opposed to electronic reading of all types having spent much of my life in academic libraries. I'm now on my second Kindle Paperwhite; I gifted the previous generation to a s…

The manufacturer downstream from Gore has a great repair service, but we've repaired GoreTex in the field with a GoreTex patch adhered with AquaSeal for larger tears and a drop of …
