I don't use it for my daily work but I do use it for code screenshots in talks. I find it still looks good, with a hint of highlighting without being intrusive. This allows the code to be the main feature of the screenshot without look

I'm struggling to parse the point you're making, paraphrasing: "Systemic issues in SA causes more money to be lost than sending money to Uber Eats... thus the parent's point of not supporting Uber Eats is moot"? I t

Seems to be a visibility-only change to a small cohort of users. Tangentially, I've often wanted a third button, call it "disinterested". This would just tell YouTube not to recommend more of the same for me, without adjustin

I was a (20% share) co-founder of a successful(ly bootstrapped) company in the telecomms space 14 years ago. When the company was +-10 years old and quite successful a European investment firm came along and started discussions to acquire a

One of my family members has only one hand, the left. They would love to have a camera on hand to capture spontaneous moments around their young children. But choosing a smartphone is a compromise between buying a low-level phone that is s

I can't remember exactly as I haven't made beer in years and sold all my books and equipment - but - I think it was _Uncorking the Past_ by Patrick Mcgovern. It could also have been John Palmer's _How to Brew_ too - I remem

I'm reminded of the Florentine Camerata[1] here. They were a group of intellectuals that met at Giovanni de' Bardi's house during the second half of the 1500s, and their discussions of music (amongst other things) led to the
