OxygenOS and ColorOS from OnePlus/Oppo are extremely lightweight from the start on their global edition phones, and tweaks, such as these, always stick. It's not a Chinese phone problem, it's a manufacturing choice, just as i

I too thought this was "Hacker" News, where we found ways to break down barriers and expand access to services to the benefit of society. Apple is absolutely abusing their market position and we should all be finding ways to estab

This is my absolute concern with Brave as well and why I do not trust this browser and its advertising model in the slightest.

This article continues to be a fantastic introduction to the distributed log and all of the benefits it can bring a project as scaling becomes more complex. When I worked at Salesforce, we successfully implemented Apache Kafka and Storm int

I really wish Brooklyn had as many latitudinal lines as Manhattan. Whenever I visit Brooklyn, Uber/Lyft is always a better option.

I have been excited about this project for quite some time. They recently released their Rust client, although without networking. I cannot wait to play with it further as it holds the most promise amongst all "Web3" decentalized

Congratulations on the move. I've been working in tech for a decade in Atlanta and have always been impressed with the diversity here.

This is an excellent write-up on the different on-chain randomization approaches. If both secret messages are somehow discovered by a hacker, I wonder if it would still be possible to influence the outcome by controlling enough of the hash

I am so glad the article mentions IPFS and the great potential it has to solve this very issue.

Shill much? There are tons of projects like this doing the same thing and you've already plugged this once.

I still have faith in our ability to escape the ill effects of capitalism that are slowly destroying our industry. See Bitcoin & Ethereum.

Who are they? The founding fathers of America promised Democracy, yet look at the corporate oligarchy in which we now live. You have to fight for this decentralized future in every decision you make.

How are you measuring efficiency? If something is centralized and widely used, are you even capable of recognizing technological progress now defined by the centralizer?

There are just far too many better choices out there (Elixir, Phoenix) for me to ever consider going back to Microsoft technologies. I still haven't forgotten their ASP.Net MVC framework that nearly made me give up being a developer.

I tried Alexa a month ago and gave up on it within a week. Digital assistants fall flat in walled gardens. It was clear during this week that Alexa only worked well with Amazon services, which were always subpar. Google search? Nope. Suppor

I've tried DD-WRT and OpenWRT on this particular Linksys router and it was no better, but this is besides the point. It made me step back and realize that I shouldn't ever have to install a third party OS just to have a router tha

I just added Quill to a side project site a few days ago, having spent almost three months comparing different WYSIWYG editors. So many of these libraries have gotten bloated over the years or simply have too many bugs. Quill just works for
