Is that on Windows? I use Linux and Mac and haven't had memory leaks. In fact, Chrome is more a problem for me on the Mac since my wife likes to keep Chrome windows open on her pro…

Try vertical tabs. I fell in love since I've been using it daily. Zen has a special flavor of vertical tabs where pinned tabs open links in a modal, which I now can't do without, a…

I am scared that with the current status quo, when websites mostly served on chrome start benefiting from the ability to guarantee ad display, that they might start blocking any cl…

I see a lot of people saying that Firefox is not as good as Chrome. Do you have any examples of things Chrome does that Firefox doesn't? Genuinely curious, I have been alternating …

Sketchup (free version) also lets you visualize the sun shadows based on location, date, and time. But it's not showing the strength of the sun like this.

Completely agree. What is a tragedy though, is that if Google treats their most hardworking engineers like this they are creating a culture of minimal effort. If this is "just a jo…

This is bad journalism. The writers have not done their research on the effects of the "banned drugs" they are mentioning. Someone who doesn't have ADHD would only get negative sid…

That is a bit harsh. I think the OP had good intentions, but I agree that focusing on breaking habits might be the wrong way to go here. I think medication works for some, therapy …

Completely agree with your second paragraph. I don't think it's helpful to label it as a "disability". Although the medical term is "disorder", at least for me, this kind of thinki…

I agree with finding tools to help engage our brain instead of "fix" it. And I love your last point, ADHD is a feature, not a bug.

I have been through hell becoming a new dad, thinking that my mind was broken, and I would end up making the same mistakes as my own father because of our common traits due to ADD.…

I agree with you on that. It probably is a great product but that marketing point makes it seem sketchy. I found the video looked suspiciously like Apple's late ads too. This is ve…

From a usability perspective I totally agree with this article. From a design standpoint though, people generally prefer minimalism over realism in UI design. I also much prefer th…

I have to admit it was snarky. Thank you for explaining.

This is a bit insulting. If you find my comment unsubstantive, please delete it. I think this kind of paywall is threatening the web and thought important to point it out.

Ooooh, interesting article, it's talking about... Oh, sorry I was reading... You don't like ad blockers you say? Oh well, guess it must be a pretty boring article anyway. Farewell.…

Doesn't a parachute need some free fall before being completely deployed? Plus there would be no way of gliding somewhere safe to land.

How would this be able to land in the event of complete electrical failure? A helicopter is able to glide by twisting the rotor blades but this would just fall like a brick. I woul…

Unrelated to the article but these portraits are really beautiful! Props to the photograph and studio.

But still, nothing prevents you from having cameras hidden throughout your house. There still needs to be physical access to the house. Where encrypted data can be distributed anyw…

I think the only way the house search warrant vs. phone search warrant comparison would work is if there was a way to know that someone used a warrant to sift through your data. Yo…

Never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to stupidity. Some engineer probably told upper management they couldn't decrypt the phone because the software would erase a…

"I have a special set of skills and if you violate these rules then I will hunt down your process and kill it." Great writing

I think this is not linked with battery storage. Superconductivity allows a material to conduct electrons without any resistance, thus losing less energy and generating less heat. …
