Could you elaborate on why it doesn't work? That first example looks like a lovely place to live, at least compared to most urban landscapes... As long as it isn't far away from more lively areas.

Uh, yeah, that's worrisome. I'm guessing ad networks themselves could also go to Brave, if Brave gets enough users... You're right that this is "problematic", but your initial description of "Brave replacing ad

I've used it briefly on desktop, and use it daily on my phone. Can you please share more info on this? Are you refering to this https://brave.com/about_ad_replacement.html ? Are they already doing this, or are these jus

> Idea finds evidence in its favor[...] Shouldn't conclusions be drawn from all evidence? Actually, idea finds new evidence. It was already drawn from evidence (I don't know how solid), and now it has more evidence.

I'm not a great fan of The School of Life, but I like the mind behind it, Alain de Botton. Care to elaborate on what kind of undertone you see in their videos?

Isn't it also true that in Scandinavia religion started losing ground earlier and faster than in the rest of the West? As far as I know, religion is barely relevant for most scandinavians (apart from the influence it has had on all wes

Also catholic-raised, but from my understanding Calvino very strongly defended discipline and hard work over faith. In contrast, catholicism places a greater emphasis on... well, not sinning.

These are the most salient differences in my experience with both: - Apart from saving the parsed, "readable" version of an article, it can also save the web as-it-is. This is very useful for those times when the formatting is imp

I've played a bit with terminals on Android, but I only had real success using ssh. This seems very convenient, I'll play around with termux, thanks! BTW, I'm unable to access /storage/emulated/0, it seems Term

Sadly, that isn't as powerful as what our comment-ancestors do with Karabiner. Such an accessible and prominent key as Caps Lock is, IMHO, wasted if only used for ESC; using it both for Control when in combinations and ESC when alone m

I'm very curious: Don't you miss Vim? After using it for years, doesn't editing code in anything else feel wrong? I'm all day switching between VSCode and Vim. VSCode's support for my toolset (nodejs, es6, jsx, flow

I'm usually on the apple-defending side of this discusion, but: "MBP wins in disk speed and battery" doesn't match "there is no alternative in any price bracket". For the same price, other laptops seem to offer

I would actually say that, to an extent, the masses are wise. Often they care more than we do about experience and reliabity. What good does it make to me if my phone has a micro-kernel architecture? Of course, on the other hand, the "

I don't think they are. I think "Aboriginal helpless in Manhattan" means that any skill you may have is dependant on environment, is an specialization, and you shouldn't judge a fish by its cycle-riding skills.

Some companies will require you to use a signature with an image and particular formatting. Also, tackiness is in the eye of the beholder.

I don't think so. I'm a somewhat-novice react dev, and for me, even in my first projects, setting stuff up was about a day. It's true though that during the next few weeks you'll have to tweak things while yo start to w

He only mentions Clojure in passing. At some point I decided that, were I to learn a functional language, it would be Clojure. How would you say Clojure fits in this comparison? Is it only relevant or interesting for concurrency?

It is not only true of women, but it's specially true for them. If a work mate is a member of the Jewish/Mormon/atheist minority, I may not even know. And if I know, it's easier to forget. If I am a man (and I am), I am

Worked as a .net dev for ~3 years, and I loved VS, but it had its share of random problems too. I remember it flipping out and suddenly consuming a shitload of CPU and RAM for no apparent reason, even working on fairly small projects. It wa

Beauty comes in very different forms. Not all beautiful paintings are pleasing and peaceful fields for flowers; IMHO, something can be dark, strange, even scary, and still beautiful. E.g.: The Garden of Earthly Delights[1], or It Follows[2]
