I enjoy subtitles, my wife doesn't. I don't think I would enjoy subtitles when we're late-night binging until 2 or 3am. Regardless, do Netflix, Apple and Disney have better engineers than HBO (and Amazon)? Do the latter two n

Unrelated to the book, but wanted to drop a thank you, Seth. You're one of the best speakers I've had the pleasure of seeing (HashiConf) and are a great example to me of what to aim for in public tech talks.

Funnily enough, I had wanted to purchase my Dell XPS 9570 (15") without dgpu, but they only offered it for their 13" model. Until several months after release, support for the nvidia card was spotty on Ubuntu/Fedora so it wou

I've been using a Kinesis Freestyle Pro for over a year. The wristpad they sell is pretty bad, so I attached the wristpad from my Matias Ergo Pro (the keyboard kept breaking). It's fantastic and highly recommend it.
