Wait so it only works on those 4 websites? I've only heard of Popular Mechanics, but I rarely (if ever) visit their site. If this was more like Youtube Red, I'd be all over this. I would love to pay to remove all google ads. I get

Did you use some kind of UI framework? Is it just bootstrap? This design is awesome. I _love_ the minimal direction we're heading.

One thing not mentioned in the article is the impact horseshoe crab farming has had on the Red Knot. PBS made a really interesting documentary about it, I would highly recommend you check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watc

Out of curiosity, what system do you use primarily? The reason I ask is I suspect you use something very specific that allows you to be very productive. Also, what kind of work do you generally do?

System76 seems cool, but their hardware is just kind of clunky to me. I would much rather by an old Thinkpad, but even still that doesn't fully solve my OS dilemma.

This is something I was pondering the other day: given nano's proliferation, I wonder how many devs use it in a regular basis? My suspicion is that nano is more popular than vim or emacs, just used less. Many devs who do not primarily

That's a good question to ask. My opinion: nothing, basically, on either side. You could argue that being an official GNU project gives nano a level of legitimacy and carries with it an implied quality level. I wonder if nano would shi

So with Crouton, you don't actually dual boot. It's more like a VM, but it uses the same kernel that Chrome OS uses, so it's more like Docker than Virtualbox. I have a cheap 11" Acer C720 and I probably use it more than

That I have no idea on. I couldn't find many details either. I assume it's because CHIP doesn't want this to be a selling point on the project because most likely it won't happen given Allwinner's past total disrega

Supposedly the CHIP computer project has committed Allwinner to open source their SoC. I don't know exactly what that entails since it's an ARM core chip, but I'm tentatively holding my breath for that. I will be extremely su

Team Treehouse is what I used. It may be a little slow if you have java experience, but it's very thorough. I went from knowing nothing about java/android to building a useful, simple app integrated with an external api within a w
