Sugar free/low sugar energy drinks are really common, and most coffee drinkers I know are mixing in sugar or creamer or something in their coffee, so I don't think they're that dif…

Yeah, personally, it's hard to say "live and let live" about someone who doesn't want a people to live.

Your comment suggests that all disagreements are equal. I would get email service from someone who likes Ruby more than Python, even if I disagree. I, like the author of the post, …

This isn't just them being scared of a competitor because they're able to outperform Apple, according to Apple they have proof of an active plan not just to poach talent, but to ge…

Not really. The person I'm replying to wants to watch streaming services and their own files. Grab any streaming box that supports the services, and it almost certainly has a Jelly…

> I would rather pay them than pay the publisher for them to only get a small cut. Publishers aren't just stealing money that should go to authors. We can debate percentages and su…

I've used it for basically any text editing task. Quickly jotting stuff down for later, web development, writing articles, drafting emails, whatever. I've used VS Code a lot and ha…

Regardless of your opinions on Cuba, I feel like the US isn't really in a position to be casting aspersions here.

Maybe it varies by location, but in my experience, Whole Foods is significantly more expensive than Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's is pretty affordable. It may not be Walmart cheap, bu…

"A lot of people use this tool" and "this tool is productive and useful" don't necessarily track. People do and use all kinds of things that aren't actually useful, they just feel …
