I get the gist of what you're saying, but I don't think they're really comparable. Popups spam your OS with trash that impairs your ability to use your machine (at worst). Popover dialogs can be shut down by closing your tab

I don't personally own any Apple products (but use a MacBook for work), but if they iPad had a full desktop OS, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. The form factor and performance is incredible, but the software is the limitation for me.

Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez is a personal favorite. I re-read every year or so to make sure I'm thinking about my real personal goals. It also makes me trim the fat from my personal budget again each time I

The ROI on this book is incredible. To be fair, it's easy to get ROI on a $10 book, but I ended up with an extra $40k-ish on a salary negotiations over the years because of some of the details in there. You just need one or two to hit.

In the case of using vaping to ween off of cigarettes? That's a good point for those who already smoked cigarettes, but I'm mainly thinking of the people that jumped into vaping to start and didn't use it as a transition off

I'm blown away by how vaping took over. I was a senior in high school once Juul started to get popular. We'd joke about our peers that willingly took on an addiction when our generation was mostly in the clear from being addicted

For something like a government website, I agree. Access for everyone (except maybe a really unreasonable case) should be a priority. For the average web app, I think it would hold the developers and the users back. If half a percent of the

Completely agree. It may be considered a "loss" if you encounter rude staff, but fighting back won't make you "win", even if you technically do. Your stress and mental state is much better if you just let some stuff

Go has a way to implement enums - I'll give you that. Rust does have enums though: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch06-01-defining-an-enum.html They can have values like sum types, or not.

I'm definitely partially biased by the Pareto Distribution, so that's where that number probably came from in my head, but I do think it's pretty damn close to that 20%. Definitely a strong minority. https://en.wik

At the last SaaS I worked at, it was absolutely true. Companies would sign large enterprise contracts, and then ~20% of their users would use it once and a while, and one to five users would use it religiously. It was a simple productivity

You can send epubs and other formats via the Kindle web service to your Kindle directly. It handles the conversion. I understand if you feel uneasy with this though, as I do as well sometimes. As others have said, Kobos support many formats

Very cool to see an illustrated version of my favorite software origin story :) For a more detailed explanation, Brian Kernighan's "UNIX: A History and Memoir" is fantastic, released just a few years ago.

I see what you're saying, but I never referred to it as an "addiction", which I agree it isn't. It does seem to be becoming a compulsion among them though. I think there may have been a miscommunication here, because I a
