I moved my many domains and many of my clients' domains and mail hosting to Zoho. I looked at Fastmail at the time, but there was one showstopper which I forget (and should revisit). That said, I have found Zoho to be very reliable a

Seeing Notion ranked so highly makes me wonder what other people do that's so different from me. I try to like it (I was an early paid adopter, and now my company uses it so I must too), but there are so many points of friction that m

I tried to explain with the whole step=scooter thing, but clearly I failed. Many of the comments seem to be assuming I am talking about low-end motorcycles. To be clear, however, I was talking about small folding electric inline 2-wheel st

As I have tried to explain throughout my comments, I am referring to what the Dutch call a "step" - like what Bird has been putting in cities around the world. I am absolutely not talking about mopeds (small motorcycles). I very

In the US there used to be "ticket quotas" in some police departments. Near the end of a period, there could be cops everywhere checking for speeders if they were under quota. The Dutch police could make a good revenue just from t

Sure you would. It's a matter of masses. If I were a brick wall, you could hit me at 30 and you would probably take the worst of the exchange. If we are both of equal size and mass, the damage will be approximately shared.

I am referring to the little foldable two wheel platform vehicles as scooters. I am not championing the motorcycle things. Outside NL, the "step" is a scooter, and the "scooter" is a moped. Mopeds should be banned from b

I would rather be run into by a guy who is riding a light electric step rather than a heavy middle aged man zooming along on a heavy electric bike.

Comparisons of providers is about like comparisons of programming languages - the best choice will depend very much on the circumstance, and likely there will still be at least two possible choices which cannot be accurately differentiated

You're excused, based on the useless and annoying cookie notice law.

Too bad in the Netherlands we are hamstrung by an asinine law that considers a 2-wheel scooter (called a "step" here) to be the same as a 4-wheel cart that carries children (called a "stint"). This law was prompted by an

The only Google service I still depend on is gdocs. I am not aware yet of any collaborative document/spreadsheet tool of similar quality. Even without the collaboration benefits, google docs or sheets is just so much faster than nati

I do all three for all of my domains (hosted on another provider). It's actually very little effort. It does help immensely if your provider has systems in place to facilitate this.

Imagine if it were somehow possible to require a company (G in this case) to expliticly tell you which part of their terms of service you broke and provide the evidence or justification to prove you did break the ToS... I frankly cannot fat

The bias against major player-hosted email was probably rooted in spam prevention, but there's little doubt in my mind that they (the few big players) recognize the value of attempting to force users to use their service, and then to t

The author presents succinct and compelling reasons to prefer functional principles. To add, I find the strong push for purity of functions helps free up the part of my mind which seems to constantly worry about potential problems or unknow

Ok, fair enough. We cannot say based on current information if withholding some virus particles at the cost of delivering a few in a more long-lasting form is better or worse. Since we cannot test all possibilities here, it is then left to

I missed the part where I said we should stop writing tutorials. I do believe people should be responsible for content they publish, periodically reviewing and removing outdated, irrelevant, or immature/incorrect articles.

Yes, but on StackOverflow, repeat questions are very strongly discouraged (or locked/deleted); the reader is pushed back to the older or original question which may be very much out of date. There are often useful comments or addition

But it is getting increasingly more time consuming to sift through the either outdated and misleading guides or the incomplete, inaccurate, or simply bad ones to get to a useful one. Even StackOverflow is reaching the point of net-negative

Self delusion and stoicism (or intense perpetual toil) are the ways to keep disillusionment out of the mind. If one has a moment to pause and reflect on life as it seems to be, one surely must be utterly disappointed and disillusioned. In f

Unless you have a really good reason, I advise against learning absolute perfect pitch. If you do, it will drive you absolutely nuts to hear almost any music (since it will almost never be perfectly tuned). Imagine for a moment that you co

There are unfortunately many small business people who greatly underestimate the skill that goes into anything they don't personally do. Those are the foolish people who shop by price and think they are getting a good deal. These are a
