   Way back in 2013, Matt Cutts from Google said in a talk: “WordPress takes care of 80-90% of the mechanics of Search Engine Optimization (SEO)” Agencies really latched onto that! SEO was the new hotness. An industry was then built around Wor

   AFAICT You are able to remap the 'Globe' key to another key, say CAPSLOCK. But you can't remap the key combinations assigned to the new Tiling feature!

   But surely they must tether their MacBooks to external displays and desktop Mouse’s and Keyboards! I didn’t think they’d be using Mac minis, Studios or Pros as such. They can’t all be using the little mini Magic Keyboard or working directl

   It bonkers isnt it! Do none of Apple's developer team use any other editor at anytime other than XCode! How was this not picked up in beta testing!? Here's another gripe: The tiling feature maddens me! You cant disable it complete

   Hot Damn! Is that what is happening! I've been experiencing this with SublimeText and VSCode! I've taken screenshots, and a video, but had not submitted any bug reports yet. Whenever I make a new file, say 'foo.html.haml&#x27

    Nothing wrong with that list. It’s a fine list. But to me the items on it feel like life-lessons you have to learn along the way. For me, I know what I would tell my younger self. I was born into poverty and no one told me or ever taught me

    Indeed. I’m not sure it would be damaging. Off the top of my head, Tesla employees were viewing internal cameras. And I’m pretty sure Facebook employees used to be able to read private messages and jokes/bragged about it? Nothing happe

    Is it declining? Spam sites that scraped SO content where a big problem for a while, so that would have certainly pulled traffic from SO. If I had to guess about other reasons, I'd say we've moved on from giving our knowledge and

    Same here. At least, not anymore. I have a few legacy logins. And a few where I’ve connected my accounts - GitHib for instance to get Jetbrains Student Discounts. But where possible, I avoid! Also, the obnoxious login with Google prompt in

    This is one of my essential quality of life tools: https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto Decades of using the Mac convention of CMD instead of CTRL makes it hard to switch to CTRL. I get cramping super quickly when using W

    Many moons ago I read that Apple came super close to buying Be, but Jean-Louis Gassée wanted to much money and negotiations fell apart. I reckon it was the star power of Jobs more than the OS as such that saved Apple in the late 90s. Jobs&#

    I've noticed students working in the IKEA Cafes here in Australia! They offer similar benefits to a good sized Starbucks store. Free charging points, WiFi, bench seating in secluded corners and so on. Though I'd wager that WiFi is
