   This is sad. To me Keybase always seemed like it had a big mindshare among techies (more so before the cryptocurrency venture), but never had a good enough market share for its offerings (like chat, for example). As others here have said, K

   TL;DR version: Sent CV by email and Gmail put it in the recipient's spam folder, which cost this person an interview (the position was filled by the time this was checked). Then the post goes on tangents about Gmail and Google. Forget

   It looks like the frustrations just add up when you look at different factors. In this lineup, the first two models are the 8th generation processors whereas the top model (starting at $1799) is the one with the latest 10th generation proce

   I've tried Seek by iNaturalist [1] to identify some plants in real time (the app can also identify fungi and wildlife). It's been a bit hit or miss sometimes. I like that it doesn't require any registration and doesn't c

   Not GP, but Electron apps to me have a specific “smell”. When you run one, you get to know it’s an Electron app without prior knowledge of that fact. Slow launches, massive memory usage that initiates thrashing, standard OS keyboard binding

    I thought it discontinued just the HGST brand name. HGST branded drives still seem to be available in the market (or some markets). Last year’s Backblaze hard drive reliability report also had some HGST drives near the top of the rankings.

    Hitachi drives (not the NAS category) have been at the top of Backblaze’s annual hard drive reliability charts for several years even after the WD acquisition. So that division is still churning out drives that are better than the WD brande

    OpenDNS was bought by Cisco in 2015. The website looks very different from how it used to be before that, and seems to be targeted at enterprises. It seems like one would have to dig in deep to find the erstwhile service and management of f

    Thank you. I didn’t find it published prominently, like it is with Google DNS, Cloudflare DNS and Quad9 DNS. The choice of this address is a huge contrast to the others I mentioned, where those are very easy to remember.

    Thanks a lot for the simple explanation of the keyboard combinations (and the underlying logic) as well as the part about yanking. As a vi user, that might’ve tripped me up the first few times. But now I know better.
