One thing that is driving me crazy while learning Polish is that "no" means "yes" (informal).

After spending EUR 1,800 on my 10th and last Apple laptop--the new MacBook Pro which after much frustration I sold for EUR 1,000--I bought the Cube Thinker. Horrible keyboard, but 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD. Most importantly AMAZING hidpi/reti

Yes because in European bakeries they might add butter to make it taste good, but in America no one would buy it because it wouldn't say "fat-free", so they add sugar.

It was stated that the obesity crisis might be caused by the cost of vegetables (or otherwise healthy food). This is nonsense. I don't know why you're getting picky with definitions while that was just an example to prove that it&

Aww, come on! How much is 1 kg of carrots or potatoes? Banana (0.25 kg) 0.63 $ Oranges (0.30 kg) 1.04 $ Tomato (0.20 kg) 0.85 $ Potato (0.20 kg) 0.60 $ Onion (0.10 kg) 0.26 $ Lettuce (0.20 head) 0.28 $ Not the best source probably, but by l

Meh, veggies, rice, etc. are super-cheap everywhere in the world. It doesn't take money to eat healthy. It's not that fast food restaurants are the only choice is you don't have money. You can go to a grocery store and eat ex

The reason Americans eat that much sugar is not the "one won't hurt" mentality, but the fact that the government singled out fat as the only source of evil, and companies started adding sugar to everything because without fat

This means nothing. Native apps cost 10 times more and take a lot longer to build since you have to build 3 versions instead of 1. So..?

Most companies would never build a Linux app. One notable example is Skype: their Linux client sucked so much it was unusable until their Electron version made the Linux version just as good and modern-looking as the rest.

Not true. One example of a service that probably _could_ have a web version is Spotify, but they only offer their service via their Electron app. Apps I care about are VSCode, Atom, Spotify, Slack.

Yup.

One thing I don't understand about Electron is, why not share a single Chrome process (or if anything one per Chrome version if needed)

As a Linux user, it's a huge productivity boost because I wouldn't be able to use 90% of the app I us since they wouldn't be available on Linux. I also don't notice my machine slowing down with Electron apps.

They didn't. You couldn't change the UI.

I wonder why people but so much effort trying to replace things that work perfectly and no one wants replaced. Email, door locks, etc. work well as it, it's a non-problem. How about banks? I live in Poland and used to exchange Euros in

They are great, but I really wish VLC looked better. You can tell from their website that design isn't their cup of tea.

Jesus, this is a feature now. I am voting with my money and saved about 1,000 last year from now buying anything Apple anymore. I think tech companies need to focus on features that are only good for marketing less, and more on what consume

Perhaps unrelated, but JavaScript has the most annoying handling of "this" in classes that I've ever seen. I'm constantly typing "bind(this)", while the default case should be that "this" within a cla

First of all, they got a lot of money from the Kickstarter campaign, and they're pushing the pro version way too much. The thing that annoyed me the most was that they changed most of the classes, making the thing incompatible with pre

They're probably trying to sell the Pro version. I bought it and it was the worst purchase I've made in a while. They took some pretty idiotic decisions with v5.

I disagree with every single point you made, but I'm on mobile. The only thing worth typing might be that the US have setup a business environment that allowed them to grow (which you take for granted). If I started a company in my gar

Eluding taxes is super-unethical. They show off that they're environment-friendly, how about people-friendly? America made it possible for them to start a company like that (could've happened in Italy, for instance), people gave t
