I've never seen any requirement, or even social pressure, to use caffeine at work. Plenty of people in all offices I've worked at didn't take coffee, or only very ocasionally. It was widespread, but no expected of you. I woul

That's snappy but not informative at all. What do you miss in multicursor that macros give you? I also prefer vim's macros to multicursors, but I think it ammounts to nothing more than habit and preference. Macros in Vim are going

How much does it cost to implement GDPR (for a company that isn't in tech)? How much many visits from the EU does a local TV station from Providence get? It's probably not worth it for them.

Now the trackpad is enabled by using two fingers on the keybard. To select, you can long-touch where you want the selection to start, and select more by using this trackpad gesture. At least that's how it works on my iPad Air 2, which

Can't help but wonder, didn't you think about reporting this, anonimously at least? If you figured this out, it wasn't all that unlikely that a less scrupulous hacker could have. (Not judging, both because I don't like t

How are you gonna ensure the binary uploaded to the app store has the exact same code that is on the public repo? OSS is not the solution. The only solution is that your OS protects you, giving you tools to see what apps are doing what, and

Great write-up, concise enough but not too dry. I generally agree with dropdowns being overused, but this seems too much to me: > Picking a date from dropdowns is the worst. If I ever do this, then I’ve really failed as a UX designer. Re

I don't think (yeah, please answer if I'm wrong) that's true for anyone. You may value a dogs life as much as a human, some do. But those same people don't go around with extreme care to avoid stepping on an ant, and wou

I'm honestly curious, this topic (how people arrive at their morality) fascinates me. We would probably agree a lot (I don't eat meat mostly out of a similar logic). Why innocence? How does innocence make a life more valuable? It&

Can you point to or explain where this claim comes from? I'm far from an scholar on Plato, but I've read a few dialogues and The Republic whole, and I never saw anything that made me think of it that way.

Those two events have nothing to do with each other. In Paypal people send each other money, and the man in the middle is blocking it. In YouTube, Google decides whether or not to put ads on your video and give you part of the money. You ar

You can speed it up, and I've done that for some books, but I agree it's not the same. Specially for books from which you want to extract actual concrete knowledge, there is nothing like paper. However, for the right books, audiob
