   fwiwi, I'm continiously buying relatively expensive printed books, mostly technical. I think I will continue doing so, at least as long as I can oder printed copies. Paper copies have a few important advantages. They do not distract me

   I used to maintain a zero inbox, until I read an article by the author of the technique (apologies for not remembering the source) that my mailbox is a TODO list that anyone can put an item on that. Since then I'm okay with with unread

    Perhaps we should move from "buy the software" to "sponsor the developer" idea, such as what GitHub is doing with the "Sponsor" button.

    This is not only about people who disable js, but also about people with disabilities who would benefit from accessibility features on your app. With this arguement, we should also ignore them, since they might not be the ones making the mo

    FWIWI a few days back I upgraded my microk8s-based k8s to 1.18 beta channel and it solved at least ImagePullBackOff problem that I had with pulling from my private GitLab registry. Worked like charm.

    As a FF user I'll also share my experience. Since Firefox switched to Quantum, I am exclusively using it on my work, home and portable computers. Chromium on my Arch Laptop was buggy, had a memory leak, and would consume all my 16G of

    This is great. I was there and couldn't get into some rooms (which was expected) and I am going to gradually watch those talks that I have missed.

    There is a firmware update for it. Have you tried that? The touchpad works fine for me (I flashed the firmware). See https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/pinebook-pro-keyboard-updat... .

    I'm not an Apple dev, but you just reminded me of Apple's excellent support. I got a problem on my development account and immediately received a phone call from a human helping me solving the issue.
