Exactly this. Joplin kinda blows the competition out of the water in every aspect. The sync works flawlessly and this is one of the strongest features it has. I set it up using WebDAV and never ever had to worry about it working.

This is an excellent post. Bear in mind it's a transcription of a podcast episode (And my advise would be to hear it). The last time this one was on HN it got me hooked on podcasts. 99% is usually of a good quality, but this episode wa

For me, the biggest issue I have is book ratings on Amazon. Besides companies - and small time authors - paying for good ratings, you have a similar amount of people that genuinely bought the book, giving 1 start ratings because of whatever

Yep, there are usually a lot of "piggybacking" (This comment is not mean spirited, just stating a fact) in HN. I made a similar comment a while back [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25625703

Obviously this is highly anecdotal, but for the 5 years that I lived in Spain, I was a regular drug user. With the exception made of MDMA & speed (That I'll consume both on occasions) I was consuming weed, hash and mushrooms on a w

I've bought a book from this person ("Data is beautiful"), and it's crap. If you go to the website home page, you'll see that the only thing that it does is use one (The author's?) library.

This might be related to the fact that at least one of her books is "hidden" in a scene in "The OA" [1] that happens to be, in my opinion, one of the most interesting science fiction TV series made in the last years (Net

Last week the Spanish side of Vice published a post that literally said in the title "Most famous Harvard astronomer said aliens tried to contact us". I think that beats everything else I've read so far regarding this issue.

Few years back, I did something similar to this with PHP. I was always marveled at the capacities of xDebug, and never stopped using it since I found it (Some 10+ years), and honestly, coupling it with PHPStorm is another level. But still,

Wholeheartedly agree. And this apply not only to vertical. I have a Samsung Tab A Tablet (Model SM-T510) that has better resolution than my notebook (A Lenovo T430). A page that displays very well in the Lenovo (1366x768) displays like crap

I don't think that's the case. If you browse HN somewhat regularly, you'll see that a lot of times when a post makes it to the top (Or close enough) it's very likely that a related post will make the rounds pretty soon.
