Genuine question: Are the other smaller cert-issuing services going out of business? If not, what has been their response to LetsEncrypt? Not that all of them should survive, there are a lot of crappy services that deserved this. But I&#x27

I just built a powerful Hackintosh for about $1.5k with Sierra. Was worried about how stable it would be and took good care of researching all the parts that were verified by the community[1]. It's been going good for 3-4 months now. T

Me and a friend of mine built something similar (think Upwork + StackOverflow) as a side project a while back - https://www.ladr.io/ Unfortunately we couldn't put in as much time back then. But I am thinking of picking

It takes time and money for an open-source DB to become established. I think Arango is taking the right steps and this investment will help a lot in getting there. PS: I only started using ArangoDB recently for the first time on a client pr

I had the same experience with my older Nexus 5. However, I dropped my Nexus 6P and cracked the screen (And did not take the insurance). They now tell me there is nothing they can do and that I can try my luck with Huawei.

There is always a major election coming up in India. By the time we're done with Gujarat (2018), there will be Rajasthan and a few others coming up. Not to mention the next Lok Sabha (Parliament) elections in 2019. Yes, the timing does

Any reason why you consider freelancing worse than outsourcing? I think if you can build a good team of freelancers, you basically save yourself from a lot of the issues this article mentions.

I moved from Linux to OSX a few years ago. The smoothness of 3-finger swiping between full-screen windows and just the smooth UI / build quality of the Macbook is what I liked the most. Also the battery life! I am now considering a Hac
