Never said iMessage was my choice or it's safe so you are arguing with yourself here. I said that I transfered one of my group chats there. Wasn't really my choice but a group choice. Your comment and knowledge is very impressive

I ditched Signal about a month ago. Transferred my last group chat to iMessage. Most of my friends don't care about privacy, I tried to love Signal for 2 year, I recommended it to friends, only to give up and make a fool of myself. But

I wish the legal arguments (the fact that the original project was under the MIT license - that's right, the original author has no rights to draw consequences from this rip-off) didn't blind everyone to the fact that "ai&quo

He should credit author at least. That would be more with the spirit of OpenSource. Not using licences as a defence that "it's legally okay". It is, many things are legally okay, but still a shitty thing to do.

So let's look at the data: According to stateofjs survey: 100% of JS developers know what React is, 80% are using it, 88% are satisfied. There is no "one size fits all" but saying that > they make developing even harder is

I can name two (never used any of them, I'm going full Amazon) ebooks.com but you have to look if the book you like has an unencrypted epub versions smashwords.com

So don't use Amazon. ebooks.com sells epub files. Was that too hard to find?

Printing a book is cheap. Very cheap. Most of the cost is prepress, proper typesetting, proofreading. There is no reason why ebooks should be noticeably cheaper than paper books, because the costs are not where people expect them to be.

by Otek 5y ago
It depends on where you buy the book. Many stores will just send you a mobi or epub file so you can archive that yourself. If you buy through amazon, you are tied to that store unfortunately, but the situation is similar to games. It is ver

I mean, while the prices of paper books and ebooks don't differ much after release, the discounts on ebooks, are often much higher than on paper books. I've seen great books for a dollar more than once.

Ebooks are so cheap these days, that it's a shame to pirate them.

by Otek 5y ago
That's simply not true. You know better than thousands of developers who are using React or Vue in their projects, and they are just making their life harder?

Never heard of FSNotes. Looks like it could replace Bear for me. While Bear is quite cheap, I'd like to have as little subscription services as possible.

I doubt he will print as much, so your e-reader will have less environmental impact. All that plastic and components are certainly the equivalent of several, if not hundreds of reams of paper.

It's no more, or less future-proof. And as much as counting productivity of a programmer in LOC doesn't make any sense, your take on typescript does not either. It's extra security that matters. Typescript just prevents you f

Yeah, mindfulness is promoted as a cure for that but I’m not sure. Right now I’m pretty mindful in random daily occasions but it just gives me more depression and overthinking. When I’m turning that off for some days I’m… more happy? But st

"Passive Media Consumption is Fundamentally Bad" This sounds like the worst empty slogan. Similar to those thrown around by all sorts of life coaches. The author gives no definition of 'passive' entertainment. Therefore,
