I switched from Android to iPhone a few months ago. The hardware is much better but my god does the phone feel dumb. Ok Google is leagues better than Siri and I miss the hell out of certain Android features like better spam detection and

Can someone explain to me what happened to Vine? I feel like it beat TikTok to the punch by ~8 years before it was bought and then unceremoniously killed by Twitter. Was that the first example of US innovation being suffocated by the big te

Same. It's crazy to think people just a few years younger than me probably don't remember a time where there was almost no video on the web.

I feel like the author covered this pretty well. If you have the luxury to organize your life around the terrible traffic (e.g. living and working in Venice) it's fantastic. If you need to get on a highway to get to work your experienc

In curious why you feel the need to do that? I typically only update dependencies either for serious security issues or new features I really, really want to use. I still have a few projects running Webpack 1 without issue.
