Yeah, that seems like an immediate non-starter.

Yes!!! My way out was to not focus on the product, but focus on my personal benefit. I asked myself "what do I want to learn?" not "what do I want to build?". Recently, I completed a Shopify plugin ( https://a

I remember when I bought my last Air I skipped Apple Care b/c I knew Apple made quality products. Things have certainly changed. Might as well add another $200 to that price, b/c you know something is going to go wrong.

I use DDG, but do not currently recommend it to others. I think you still have to be cautious about the results it surfaces b/c it doesn't have the same anti-spam mechanisms in place that Google has. For instance, I recently sear

I am at the point where I never purchase from a third party seller unless I verify that seller independently from their own website (e.g. Anker). I treat everything sold by a third party seller as a scam.

Agreed. I think the increased support for modules and web components across major browsers in the past year has really given me the confidence that I can go without Angular/React/Vue and still have a well organized project. I sti

I agree with you 100% here. I have been working in Angular for a long time and feel like I have a pretty strong understanding on how it works. Like you, I will not build another app with Angular (or any framework for that matter). I don&#

Not a huge fan of the design. But, it just seems like it would be a horrible truck. How are you suppose to get to the bed?

I always thought their app was really nice, but I have never tried to get data out of it.

Adam is an awesome follow on Twitter. I still haven't come around to his way of thinking on utility classes. It feels messy compared to a component based approach. But, I totally respect his work and can see myself adopting something

I feel the irony is that a lot of the text arrangements in the examples do not have enough contrast to be universally accessible. So, I feel like even the designers are missing the point on empathy.

Yes, definitely. Even with the improvements in the latest version, it still comes up way short of what you get from Windows/MacOS.

With the addition of iOS apps, would it be too much to ask for a touchscreen?

Without including all the games in the subscription price, this feels like a really bad deal.

I have the 15" 2018 MacBook Pro and would not recommend one until the following issues are resolved: - It runs really, really hot. It cannot be used on your lap. I cannot imagine how hot a faster model would be. - The keyboard is unre

No, that is not really the use of prefetch. It is for more predictable flows.

Single page apps seem like a hack to make browser apps feel like they are closer to native apps. Because most SPAs have a set flow, it seems like we should be able to use prefetching to tell the browser what is most likely to happen next.

I think the biggest reason to not start a project with Angular in 2015 is the uncertainty surrounding 2.0. But, I personally have had only good experiences with AngularJS, and am looking forward to the next version. The good stuff (factor

I have an Air as well. I like the visual update, but I do feel like everything runs a bit slower than it did prior to the update.

Cool idea, but it would be nice if it automated Paypal, Amazon, Bitcoin and/or Google as well. I think that asking for a Credit Card can be a barrier to getting donations.

Not to mention the Lumia just became a Microsoft product. Microsoft has yet to put their own stamp on the brand.

Yes, but it is an imperfect replacement. There is a lot of content offered locally (e.g. local sports, news, weather, local PBS) that is just not on these devices.

I used a Tablo for a few days and they just required an attached drive. It worked pretty well. The UI on the Roku was the big problem.

by madoublet 12y ago
At least it is honest. But, the main reason I keep buying Roku is that they seem to support everything.

Am I alone in wondering why neither Amazon, Roku, nor Apple have tackled the OTA DVR space? I know there are some options out there like Tablo and SimpleTV, but their implementations are not very good. This would seem like a big different
