If you hadn't had enough scary sounding possible future calamities that you as an individual have no control over to worry about, here's another. My anxiety system for these kinds of things broke back when peak oil turned out to n

I think the real problem is email. It's this antiquated technology that doesn't fit into the modern software as a service tools everyone uses to get things done. Email worked in the world of desktop apps but the snail mail paradig

This post is silly, just consider its premise reductio ad absurdum. I suppose prisoners in solitary confinement are the most privileged among us. Boredom creates real pain that over long enough time leads to psychological problems. The mind

You are not considering the implications of how synching works. How do you know you lost files? I back up with Time Machine, Time Machine runs every hour and creates a limited set of back ups I can go back to. Meanwhile if there's a sy

Dropbox is undeniably better. It gets synching right and this is so incredibly important. People should be rooting for Dropbox, not hoping for its demise. Everyone else has screwed up synching and screwing up synching means lost files! Lost

Exporting your Dropbox data is just dragging your files out of the dropbox folder or just turning off synching. I mean it doesn't include your event log or old stuff and you have to have separate client applications for the things Ever

Any break from the XUL days are a huge plus. XUL gives you so much power but is very unsafe for the users since anything goes and that system is also very poorly documented. I sometimes had to look at the Mozilla source code to understand w

Seems like the paper includes a pretty straightforward observation that CA just doesn't make much sense. How can you have consistency and availability if there's a partition? That's when you get the strong versus weak consist

How do candy crush and game of war drive twitter's revenue? You mean app install ads? App install ads aren't limited to businesses with bad economics.

It's mostly nonsense. You can invent comparisons like this, which are really just half-baked and not very convincing attempts at social science deconstruction, between any number of things and it may appear to be just as thought provok

It seems off-putting right now, but even the Airbnb logo redesign has become less offensive looking over time looking so I think people will adjust to Google's new logo and look back and see the old version as outdated.

Less was CSS compatible before Sass was, that's why I started using it. I really haven't ever had the need for loops. Less is also widely supported by all kinds of build tools, editors, IDE plugins etc. There's no searching

I'm glad they're supporting Bootstrap 3. The switch to Sass is unfortunate. I never had a problem with compile times and being able to pick and choose the bootstrap I needed in my own less build was really nice. I don't think

I think it's a good thing that safe spaces at reddit and Github are evaporating for toxic angry people forcing them into seedier, more isolated silos. Having said that GitHub has been turning into a bit of a joke with extremes from bot
