Let's not mince words. Ubuntu and linux OS'es in general are TRASH as far as user experience is concerned. Lately I even tried elementaryOS, and it's worse than Ubuntu. They keep saying how it's not a copy of OS X, and i

Yeah, so we can have one store with strict policies that protect users and the value of the hardware; and a bunch of other shit stores that offer apps that can hijack our devices. That makes sense! And then Apple is to blame, and can spend

What nobody does is look at a PC, and say, where can we simplify? If you start by assuming that a lambda user needs to be exposed to a complex file hierarchy for example, then you're not really thinking ahead. Then you come up with a h

It's quite obvious that Apple is slowly converging iOS and OS X even as they say they are different beasts at the moment. Maybe that's why some power users's expectations are frustrated atm? But that is also precisely why App

I was booted off YouTube streaming on my AppleTV. Then my main account disappeared from iOS GMail app, even though a secondary GMail account was still there. Was afraid my accoutn was hacked. My GMail password is unique and quite long compa

I agree... yuck. I do think if you take a step back and squint a little bit you can sense their design lacks a bit of contrast, but the black header bar is an ugly fix.

I like Medium for browsing front end dev articles in the morning. But I think there is a big UX and design issue that should be questioned : the "feed". This concept has been overused and it doesn't serve users. When I read o

True, it's just the transition atm is a bit painful. My host is asking ~80 USD for multi domain SSL. It's not that bad, but they don't support Let's Encrypt yet afaik. Are they aware of this and trying to cash in on peop

I don't have "customers" though. I thought this was implicit but maybe I needed to clear that up. Sure makes no difference to security. But that is the consideration when Google pushes everyone to have to buy SSL, even those

Yes it's become very clear to me recently that to fall asleep more consistently I have to quit fiddling on the PC AND have to stop reading the iPad a good hour before sleep. (edit: basically, have to get into a "disengage" mo

Well I can configure a Linux vm for development I guess I could handle that. Wouldn't these VPS come with a sensible default?

Not to mention, underlying my sentiment in my comments here, is that basically EVERY website out there can be broken. We hear about this every day now, Yahoo, Dropbox, and on and on. If someone skilled wants to break your site, and they hav

That is 100% correct and I never questioned that in my comments here. I have to realize I'm not the lambda user I guess, as it's obvious to me to use a different passsword betwene my main emails and other services. It's certa

I've never said SSL isn't important nor that I don't care about it. My beef is how Google forces this change on everyone, but at the same time haven't the balls to shake things up and make SSL easily available for everyo

I know I guess I just have to vent some frustration. Time to move on I guess. Does anyone have good hosting suggestions for a web app that has a 1GB database and a few thousand active users? I can only afford ~10-20 EUR a month on shared ho

Like every other person who started a forum some years ago or a wordpress blog you mean? Do you think web hosts offer SSL by default? NO they don't. Duh. That's what is annoying in these comments. Everyone seems to shrug like SSL
