I've used Pelican before and I'm currently using Jekyll, but this looks interesting enough to try on a small blog/project, and I like what I see. I wish it were more blog-oriented, or have a blog plugin, so it makes creating

Does this mean an end of all things related to Flash ecosystem or just Flash itself? I still have Adobe Air apps (as rare as it may seem) that I use regularly. Does anybody know the best way to migrate Adobe Air apps to HTML5? My guess i

As an experienced user on both Windows (at work) and Mac (at home), this article really nails the pain points of using Windows. Same can be said of Mac, as there are features I wish Mac had, such as windows snaps (via Windows key + arrow k

I have severe acne, and I tried every treatment on earth, but it turned out that eating oily/fatty food caused my acne. I didn't discover this until in my late 20's. I still get acne at my 40's, if I eat too much fatty

The amount of sugar in food seems to be much higher in US. My wife, when she came to US, said that everything tasted too sweet (and salty), compared to the food where she came from. Even cakes and ice-creams are sweeter than those that she

I didn't know about Caddy Webserver, andit looks really nice. I will look into replacing nginx, which has become way more complex than I need, for hosting my static generated blog/website.

I recommend moving those cheap shared-hosting to VPS server, which don't cost more these days. For example, Vultr is only $2.50/month. Others like Ramnode.com can also be had for less than $3/month. For about the same price

I bought a SanDisk SD card from BestBuy (at physical store), trusting that it was genuine, so I never ran any test. Only after a year or so, I think it might possibly be a fake, as the speed was incredibly slow - write speed was slower tha

B&H has been the only online store (and maybe NewEgg) that I trust for SD/flash memory. Strangely, I bought a SanDisk SD card from Best Buy (in retail store) that went bad after a year of very light usage (write speed becoming slo

Me too. I tried the library but it took too much effort to setup and tear down every time I needed to move (such as restroom break, lunch, quick break). Also, it would be impossible to have access to a nice large monitor.

The article was brief and had some good advice, and it sets the issue straight of having priority of school over other activities. School is a full-time job and spending 40 hours/week should be expected. A lot of the advice are also j

For a home server/NAS (or PC that runs 24/7), it's a "maybe" for me. According to the article, power consumption of Ryzen 1500x(65W TDP) at core is about 49 watts, while the Intel i5-7400 (65W TDP) sits at 30 watts

I agree that we shouldn't use "," or ";". I prefer to use SPACE as the leader key, as it is probably the most prominent key and also easiest to reach, but I can understand why some would use "," or "

I just watched the Shark Tank clip on Youtube and I'm glad you came back to being an entrepreneur, despite the setbacks. Wow, the sharks were brutal, btw.

Wox looks like a front-end to Everything ( https://www.voidtools.com/ ), but with really nice UI and also plugins, etc. It looks nice.

Wow, this is really nice. It takes literally a second (or two) to index EVERYTHING. I'd use this as an alternative to Win10's Cortana/search.
