The worst thing about Apple is not the drop in quality, but the way in which every fan and user kicking and screaming about it doesn't make them realize how awful their products are. If we could just have a rule that said "don&#x2

Some people seem gleeful about this, but Firefox OS is actually an excellent Smart TV OS, especially at a time where a lot of manufacturers feel comfortable inserting ads into people's TVs without their consent. It's obviously rid

I want to like this, but I don't think it adds anything; you might as well just go with YAML at that point. As an accessibility obsessive, I really don't like the idea of using `code` tags for decorative purposes.

What strikes me is how enterprise-y the design of theh website is. It's pretty much the antithesis of Slack. A lot of people rely on Facebook for engaging audiences and social media campaigns, so it's very understandable that som

The incremental building of the site is big, because it was beginning to become a concern just how well you could manage a large site with many posts and contributors. On top of that, Liquid is finally being updated to 3.0, which comes with

It really seems like Apple wanted to have its cake and eat it to with the Apple Watch. I guess they didn't want to explore e-ink, because they wanted a uniform look across devices (sort of, anyway).

Yes, considering the corporate tax rate is somewhat lower. But I guess it might be a California state tax at work.

Apple has iTunes, all companies are perfectly capable of sucking, unfortunately. We take good software for granted.

I’ve hoped for a long time that SoundCloud would release an alternative to iTunes to capitalize on the many podcasts on their platform. iTunes is such a goddamn POS, and I wish a private company would take up the challenge, at least when it

Depends on a lot of factors. The main reason to do it is that Jekyll - and their ilk - are so damn easy nowadays. And you can push the whole thing to an AWS server in one command with s3website. For $0/m, unless you're a big deal.

I think everyone using Medium at least owe it to themselves to try out the export feature and migrate one blog post. I did that with a few for archival purposes and such, and the export feature is basically an HTML file with all kinds of st

Being a maintainer on a project with some minor community on GitHub is such a garbage experience. It’s pretty neat as a general user, but at least you get the impression with BitBucket that they prioritize productivity and project managemen
