   I agree with your point that that's the way things go in the city. I've lived in 4 major US cities in my life, and the cops respond to some things and don't respond to others. It's generally a numbers game. I also agr

   There's also a matter of motivation. "Survival of the fittest" comes along with the connotation that it's better to aim for the top [let's say 10]% in order to continue to exist. "Death to the weakest" h

   I've had Ubuntu as my primary desktop for about a decade and the regression issue is my biggest one, especially with three monitors. Fortunately it takes me far less time to go from non-booting desktop to something usable these days,

   I've been wanting something similar, but in the form of automated expiration after a certain amount of time (able to set "expiration" to either "Archive" or "Trash" in said rule). For example, I'd lov

   I remember being a big fan of Shutter, though some time ago, I switched to ScreenCloud ( https://screencloud.net/ ), for its ease in automatic instantly sharing.

    "Smart and Creative" does not mean "Lucrative". Less cynically, one might consider it a virtuous circle. Google gives smart and creative people a chance to organize into small teams and innovate. When some of those pr

    Interesting. I have a 2013 MBP from work and my monitors have HDMI and I seem to recall HDMI / DP converters. I'll need to check if the display ports work well with ubuntu. Thanks! (two 27s and a 24! Fantastic!)

    Exactly right, communication tools should have no real estate if you're trying to focus. I keep three screens: one with multiple terminals, one with my code editor(s), and one for displaying whatever I'm coding (android emulator,

    I transitioned from three 19" monitors to two beautiful 27" monitors for about a year. I hated it. Nonetheless, I gave it a worthy shot and allowed myself to get used to it. Turns out, I'm most productive when I have at le

    How are you using the three external monitors from a laptop? The reason I stick with a desktop is because I very heavily rely upon three monitors and haven't found any decent solutions to do so with a laptop. I'm using ubuntu, s

    @touchmuchtodo, unfortunately you cannot stream digital antenna content to a Chromecast directly. I would assume it would need a digital signal converter, at the very least. I've been considering getting a TV tuner card for my deskto

    Fantastic article, and a case well made. Thank you for writing it. I have one small criticism: "On June 20, 2011 Dropbox let anyone on the site login as any other user". This can easily be misconstrued as though it were a malic

    I agree with you in theory, but most mobile websites are poorly thought out and implemented - if at all. I definitely don't download apps for every site I use, but for the ones I use daily, I generally find I need to. Native OS inter

    Interesting article, thanks for that. An anecdotal addition, but FedEx SmartPost can be incredibly annoying depending on how well the local PO works. In some instances, FedEx tracking would mark a package as "delivered" when it w

    I don't mind redirectors while in a browser as it's essentially invisible, but I don't understand why so many of these services use them in their own apps. The client can very easily report clicks without having to detract f
