I knew I had made a good decision to read this when I got to the line, "Mayahuel was not a cactus either." I wonder where this Frank Smith is writing now.

I worry about the near future where cell connectivity (ala Kindle Whispernet) is cheap enough for these companies to not even bother using your network to exfiltrate data.

I appreciate the article's message of simplicity. But still its recommendations go beyond what I find necessary. I just use a microfiber cloth with or without a tiny amount of water and my laptop (an original Surface Book) cleans up

There needs to be a renaissance of non-glossy (matte) screens, for the sake of the eyesight of us all.

Yep, it's a bit of verbal color to add emphasis to a statement. Much like declaring things that are actually quite ordinary and did not fill you with awe but are otherwise positive as "awesome."

Interesting. The Surface products (e.g., the Surface Book) use glass on metal.

We use the word "framework" as a term of convenience covering the full spectrum from platforms, micro-frameworks, to full-stack frameworks. We are also liberal with accepting contributions from the community, which means we do in

I like that idea. I'll see what we can do!

Yes! We accept PRs from the community at the GitHub repository [1]. We do ask that you submit what you believe is production quality code that would be suitable to run a real web application. We are liberal with how that is interpreted

Yes! In fact, I just responded to a similar question over at the Rust Subreddit thread about the same topic. We do in fact capture dstat data while executing the tests but as of today do not render these in any way. You can find raw CSV o

I wrote the blog entry for this round [1], and I would agree with ksec (elsewhere in these comments) in recommending that readers start there since it includes the highlights of this round. I apologize ahead of time for my humor. It's

I am not surprised. What we think of today when we say "tablet" is a first-class computing device and I am of the opinion few people want a plurality of such devices in their life. This is due to what I call the "yet anothe

Agreed. I am no fan of Zuckerberg and do not use Facebook, but this seems like a non-issue from my point of view. Perhaps it would have been more palatable if phrased as "People over countries," which is a maxim I may myself use

I think many or most anti-tax people do indeed favor proposals that simplify the process of paying taxes. I wouldn't call myself "anti-tax," but I definitely prefer to pay lower taxes, and as few flavors of tax as possible, s

Yeah, but that link is a Firefox hardware report. How many Firefox users are on Chromebooks?

That hardware report is surprising to me in many ways. * In 2018, the most popular resolution for users of Firefox is still 1366x768. And only 1920x1080 is making any headway against the dominance of 1366x768. As much as I am surrounded

I agree with you on the technical merit (or lack thereof) of illustrating the magnitude with colorful metaphors. However, a counter point: I feel it is useful and helpful to our cause to have authors such as this creating those colorful m
