I use Uber for almost all my transport needs, despite my own concerns about how Uber operates. Despite the higher surge prices. My issue with using auto rickshaws are two-fold. The first is comfort and safety. Rickshaw rides just feel crap

I don't. My approach probably isn't ideal. But I find it really hard to start with tests for new solutions. With a basic understanding of the problem and the expected solution, I start off directly with prototype code - basically

I remember reading it back in August - however I should have mentioned that I specifically needed this for MacOS. Does it work for MacOS? The post indicates that it's limited to Windows. On my Windows desktop, I already use Firefox as

There are many people who are very dear to me, that I talk to once or twice a week. My parents for example. I live alone, hundreds of miles away. If I died today, the only place that could figure it in a day or so out would be my workplace.

M-DISC claims a 1000 year lifespan. LG has some consumer writers that support M-DISC I believe. There are Sony BD-XL 128GB discs that claim 50 years of shelf life - however I'm not sure if they are suitable for archives. However as lon

BT runs into congestion issues quite often in my experience. I’ve experienced connectivity issues in areas where there are a lot of wireless networks. Considering that WiFi and Bluetooth both run at near 2.4GHz - I’d assume that areas with

In some cases, yes. Books for example. Some print runs are terrible. So even if the content is great, terrible print quality or construction can lead to bad reviews. Some books have numbered editions. But if the content is unchanged, should
