    Thanks, I had no idea Vinegar existed. The default embedded Youtube player is awful and had me using other browsers to avoid it, none of which I find very good. You’ve made Safari …

    It’s not that a mid-drive motor adds more wear, as you note it should be about equal to a bike with no motor. But the hub motor reduces wear, as you are applying less force to the …

    I do this, though not from Windows, just Mac and Linux. I use restic, which has B2 support smd handles all the encryption. it also does diffing for backups. There's a Windows build…

    I’m the same and have been using it mostly just to keep track of the names of everyone’s jobs, SO, and kids. The site on mobile is usable, an app might help but isn’t required. As …

    Nope. My company ended moving off it because it’s not extensible at all. create-poi-react-app is a nice alternative, same functionality (and more) while using webpack chaining and …

    Devices from that fruit company are the best bet as far as I can tell. My 3 year old tablet is still getting updates. My 2 year old phone is too, and I expect it’ll continue gettin…

    Or, if you'd prefer to keep your browser of choice, just use a different search engine.

    I hadn't realized it, but yes, this is exactly the experience I expect. The AMP page is like a modal I front of the actual site. Or that's how I think of it anyway.

    Swiping right from the left edge is the defacto way to go back on iOS. I realize not all apps implement it, but the good ones seem to. It's the thing I miss most every time I use A…

    I use another browser on my phone for fb, and it's the only thing I use that browser for. This is amazing! I can finally read all of the messages I had without installing their app…

    Nice job! Of all the third party browsers I've tried on iOS, this is the only one that feels as nice as mobile Safari, and the only one I'd consider using full time. Do you have an…

    Hangouts is an easy goto, but it uses a ton of system resources. Zoom is amazing for video chat, even with hundreds of people on a call. The screen sharing works well too, and even…

    Pre-paid plans seemed to have started their lives as a huge ripoff, and I think they still have that stigma. But MVNOs have made them an amazing value now, and T-Mobile has helped …

    I was just going to recommend this book myself. Before reading it, I had no idea how long some of these aqueducts are and how many dams had been built nationwide (and why) - now wh…

    AppleInsider just posted a pretty nice breakdown of the pricing. http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/07/27/samsung-has-not-de... Basically, Samsung's number includes its phone, tab…

    To be fair, the profit Samsung is reporting isn't limited to their Android phones. From the article: > Samsung's estimated $5.2bn haul from both its basic models and smartphones in…

    I got that the other day. I was kind of excited, until I started using it. I recently started to play the inbox-zero game, and now I have 3 inboxes to sort through, and make sure t…

    In my experience, most people don't even know what they are, much less know how to use them. The ads they are used in rarely give the user a reason to engage, so users also don't c…

    I was on Tmo's pre-paid plans for years. You can't beat their price. Their coverage left something to be desired though. If you're in city (for me, Chicago and later Phoenix), it w…

    That's definitely what I should be doing. Usually though, I've gone through 2 or 3 interviews already for this position, one of many I am interviewing for, and I'm tired and want t…

    The poor interview process is one thing, but what irks me most is that almost nobody offers you a chance to meet the team, even when they make you an offer. That's been my general …
