Here's my anecdote: I moved to SEA lately and we have no amazon here. Instead we have Lazada and Shopee - two huge store fronts with great technology and huge marketing. I don't trust neither of them, I feel like returning 30% o

I'm sorry but if you're looking to use the same phone for 5 years then you're an absolute minority. Smartphone medium progresses really quick - 5 years is a very very long period of time. Even for laptops - a relative ancie

The obsession with this phone never ceases to amaze me. I'm really trying to get it but I think there's very vocal minority discussing this: american iphone fans. I would never imagine buying a 64GB non-expandable phone with a s

I think it really depends on the time period. During the beginning of decline (past 70s until collapse) very few people really believed in Soviet ideologies and corruption was pretty much at the core of soviet lifestyle. Though before that

I'd disagree with you; writing up new UI for anki would be far easier then reinventing the whole wheel. You'd also get anki card support which already is a huge dataset of various flash cards. If anything new Anki UI project would

That's your opinion and that's not the point of a tldr. I read the whole article and it's 2/3rds filler — including how many square meters the house had and tv brands they used. It's just bad writing.

I never understood hype behind this phone. On paper it seems like april fools joke. Single camera, absurd screen-to-body ratio and all of the things from 2010 in 2020. None of you bought s10e which is a brilliant phone yet you whine that no

How is this phone compact with 50% body-to-screen ratio. There are already compact phones like samsung's s10e which is a modern phone. Honestly this looks like an april fools joke.

We use a lot of python and actually been thinking of writing up some python config middleware for YAMLs which are absolutely awful and I'm convinced no one, even core kube developers, could write one from the top of their head.
