I prefer flex, but that's just because I'm more used to it, and I work a lot in angular where the angular-flex-layout shortcodes reduce effort a lot.

I suppose then we would need systems to verify that your payment is going to the intended recipient. Sure, that can be spoofed non-trivially too, but I'm sure it's possible to make it good enough without being perfect.

Jersey and SpringBoot have both been quite decent for me.

The A1000 is a new model, the entire body is made of metal. The usual digital models are full resin, or resin cases with steel bracelets. They start from $15 or so.

> You can argue that it is a premium content feature. That's pretty much what I'm arguing, really. From a sensible viewing distance (8-10ft), 1080p and 2160p do not have huge differences in quality, and a lot of these TVs have

I mean, this is quite fine in my opinion. 1080p is plenty of quality, and if you can afford a 4k display you can probably pony up for youtube premium. 4k is pretty much a "premium" content resolution anyway.

Perfectly, no, but you'd be surprised how good passive noise cancellation is. Try out an Etymotic IEM with the triple flange eartips.

httpie is what people use on the command line as far as I know. Personally, I prefer using Postman or ThunderClient. They're bloated but featureful.

Anything unlicensed should be treated as coming with a permissive license. If you care so much about protecting your IP, take the effort to write up a license or make it proprietary. I am aware that is not how it is now, but in my opinion t

I have a "collection" in my bullet journal for it, but I don't maintain it too much. Occasionally when I'm done in a book I take a glance at it and see if something strikes my fancy but I also quite often just pick somet

You're very right here. Personally, my bar is quite low. I dislike chicory, which is often mixed with coffee, especially cheaper coffee blends. I find it very harsh and tasteless, and it ruins the experience for me. Almost everything e

Random articles of clothing tend to interact with my glasses like "oh, you have a smudge here? let me spread that smudge all over the surface for you. poof. everything is uniformly cloudy now."

Memory is designed to be used, and there are plenty of applications that are vying for it. I'd much rather an app use memory optimally, so that I don't have to close it if I'm memory-constrained.

Screen sharing works. Screen control (as in, controlling a screen someone else has shared) does not.

explorer.exe is closer to a window manager than a desktop environment. you'd have to compare it to kwin, mutter, xfwm, or i3.

Not sure about TES, but all the Prince of Persia games had the same behaviour of needing the game disc inserted to even start. Was a very irritating countermeasure, presumably against people who used their disc to install the game on multip

It baffles me that tap to click is not on by default, even on many Linux DEs. Touchpads are pretty damn unusable for me without it.

then maybe we stop letting people push the copyright periods tentatively so more relevant things come into the public domain as well. this is a nothing argument.

Diversification, probably. They try to amass more and more content, not all of it is good. Averages start dropping as the user base scales too

Hodinkee are sellers, and they benefit from this kind of soft (and often hard) marketing.

I'm just surprised my 2012 Paperwhite hasn't broken. It's still chugging along like a king. There's a thin line across the screen about 10% off the top bezel, but it's easy to ignore. I don't think the battery

They discontinued the iPods (Shuffle, Classic, Nano etc) quite a while back. What remained was the iPod Touch, which is basically an old iPhone that has been gutted to remove the cellular portions.

They also cost a ton to service. It's nice if the sentiment of carrying something through the years appeals to you, but the thing that keeps me away from mechanical watches is the service costs compared to the odd battery replacement o

They are free to do so even now, like Gab and Truth social or whatever.

Bear Notes is not really cross platform. iPhone, iPad and Mac are one platform for all intents and purposes.

Looks good, and I really like their pricing model. Would use it but I'm mostly local-only right now.
