I may be off the mark but my immediate gut reaction to this question is that distribution/discovery is partly why. On desktop, web apps are more easily distributed, especially back in the Windows era. Downloading and installing a windo

Do you have up-to-date experience on both? I ask because, this year is my first time using Jira in 10 years. I was in big corp 10 years ago and we were on Jira and it was a disaster to have to use. UI was a mess and it constantly went down

There's already a lot of discussions re: other aspects of screen time here, so I'd just like to touch on exactly what is on this study -- ability to search for things faster after "screen training". (like faster reflexes

This is a bit tangential, but the format of the article as well as the visual, are really pleasant. It's a great combination of font, color, line heights, text widths, the use of tabbed widgets for specific sections, etc. It's jus

I think part of the problem is because you were previously used to GitHub Pages with Jekyll, you were trying to use a new (but old) tool (Wordpress) with GitHub Pages and it's not a great fit for it. I'm sure it's possible so

I'd be lying if I said this wasn't the case for myself :) All the new stuff also drains me and I'm a lot more motivated to hack up stuff in PHP and jquery for these side projects. I think you shouldn't let "the mode

I think what you describe is not uncommon among high achievers (especially younger ones like you); and a lot of times, some combination of aging and significant life events can help one take a step back and see bigger pictures in life. For

Totally this. Sure, you can set up billing alarms and all, but the point is, for personal hobby projects, it shouldn't be this easy to screw up. I've used AWS extensively professionally at my current and previous 2 or 3 companies,

I used this a bit on a previous Android phone I had. (I still use Android, but am on a newer one now) It sounds good in theory but had a lot of rough edges that made me just go back to regular Youtube. I remember running into a lot of hiccu

You mentioned you end up working after they go to bed, and before they get up; and then left it at that. Is that necessarily a bad thing? I ask since I do something similar semi-regularly now, and I don't find it to be a negative thing

The GP mentioned Cafe de Coral, which has a menu size similar to any other fast food restaurant [1]. The thing is, this is a trend of a geographical region, not just a specific fast food restaurant. McDonald's in HK are always able to

Good idea but agreed that it would never happen given the trends. What I'm really disappointed by is laptop manufactures pretty much only go two routes now on laptop keyboard layouts: 1. The one with numpad on wider laptops like this o

Maybe I misunderstood the OP or the standard usage of the acronym OTP/TOTP is only for referring to 2FA tokens? I interpreted his question to mean a one-time-password, not necessarily a numeric 2FA token, but a string password with asc

Before the age of React, when I used to work on decent-sized web sites' frontend, there would typically be maybe a handful of external dependencies; usually just jquery; and later on perhaps a few other powered-by-jquery utility that g

Fun anecdote -- in the late 90s I maintained several web sites (personal/hobby ones) and by far the best source of traffic for them was Yahoo directory pages. I didn't know the SEO game (if there was even one at the time) and whil

The article talks about the difference between laptop vs server, but no other comments here so far have really touched on that topic. I think this post isn't about how good or bad cloud/VPS servers are, but really about difference

I think there is merit to the point that the "forced" social interaction (of the office) is what makes (a lot of) people even have social interactions at all. For example, it was easier to make friends in school and college becaus
