For half of my life I've exclusively used MacOS for all my desktop/laptop needs. I feel like that should be enough to call myself a Mac user.

HP supplies an insane amount of offices worldwide. I can't imagine them going out of business any time soon.

I don't know why people think this list is so crazy. When I was in grad school, I usually took 4 courses per semester. Each of them would require us to read about 100 pages per week. No one though it was an insane idea. This discussion

I don't see anyone mentioning Bypass Paywalls. It lets you bypass paywalls on most mainstream news outlets. It's a must-have for me and I wish it was available for Safari. https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-

I studied Mandarin for a few years back in my home country. I've noticed that despite spending a significant amount of my time studying it was hard to see any improvements. That changed when I first went to Taiwan and stayed there for

It has to be Signal. Most people I talk to frequently had the app downloaded already so switching to it was very easy. Now Signal is my go-to messaging app. I still keep a few others for the people I communicate with less frequently but Sig

This is probably not a popular answer. For my blog I use Tumblr. I don't have any complex needs and Tumblr does everything I need it to do. I use my own domain and a simple theme so most people that visit the website don't even re

Seems like you finished the main quest line and now you get to work on side missions or just explore the world. Why do you think going back to who you were is good? You are a very different person in very different circumstances. Perhaps fo

Good question. For my birthday, my SO took me to a fancy sushi place. It was my first time experiencing such a high quality food. I believe sushi is one of those foods where you can actually tell the difference based on the quality of ingre

I dunno, to me Edge feels just like Chrome with an addition of a bunch of Microsoft crap that I will never use, which makes sense because that's exactly what it is. I stopped using Chrome around 2016 and since that time I only use Safa

I am in a very different field so I am not sure if it's any helpful to you but here is what I do. Open PDFelement on the right side of my screen and Obsidian/Craft on the left. The idea is that my notes should be sufficient enough

I use Raindrop for personal/hobby stuff and Zotero for pieces related to my research. I used to use Pocket and Instapaper but both of them became filled with ads and popups. The performance of Raindrop on Mac is questionable at best bu

Why not try a different university? Or a university in a different country? I am also in academia but in a field that is not CS related and we get visiting professors all the time. You should do some research and see if you could apply for

Access to talent is a huge factor. One of the biggest obstacles of creating a US fab was the lack of access to cheap talent (in contrast to Taiwanese engineers that work long hours for relatively cheap money and are widely available - of co

Great news for the US. Great news for Apple, AMD, and Nvidia. Not so good news for Taiwan. The fact that the whole tech world is dependent on chips produced in Hsinchu is a huge advantage for the safety of Taiwan. Moving the fabs and talent

I fully agree. Their China and EU coverage is exceptional. I read FT every single day.

You are not the problem. Your advisor is the problem. If getting a PhD is really what you want then I would try to find a different advisor asap. Can't imagine dealing with the person you described for longer than a semester.

I think HomePods are very different devices compared to what both Amazon and Google make. Even the HomePod mini sounds way better than anything competitors make. Many are willing to pay premium for the superior sound quality. Apple simply

It is. I don't think I've ever used voice commands in public.

Any voice assistant should be a feature and not an independent product. I've never used Alexa but I use Siri daily for exactly two things - turning on/off my lights when I get home/leave and checking the weather. If Siri at a

Without the US government grants this would have never happened. It's close to impossible to build a semiconductor fab when you need to actually pay your staff and not abuse the Taiwanese work culture/low wages.

"If a person’s behavior doesn’t make sense to you, it is because you are missing a part of their context. It's that simple." I have no idea where I saw that quote for the first time but it had a huge impact on my ability to c

It's hard to test it since the majority of features are behind a paywall.
