I've been super happy with Kagi over DDG and Google. The results are significantly higher quality to me, particularly as a software dev that performs numerous searches per day. The $10/month price is a pain point that will test my

For what it's worth, I didn't realize but warden was an electron app until you just pointed it out. I have zero issues with the desktop app, so I think simply because it's electron shouldn't be a negative point if it doe

Last year I became annoyed with some of the MacOS limitations and decided I wanted a laptop capable of running Linux. I settled on the Thinkpad X1 Nano. It weighs less than a MacBook Air, has a matte HiDPI screen, which is great for sunligh

When I hear Spanish (from Spain) expecting Greek or vice versa, it does sound a bit like gibberish in the other language. Of course I speak both, so I quickly understand what's being spoken (at my current level, which is elementary in

In Greek, all letter combinations always have the same pronunciation. My Greek teacher told me she learned English by reading alone. When she first met an American, she apologized for arriving early, but she pronounced "early" lik

Thanks! And what about using a Fastmail calendar? For example, can I receive a calendar invite from someone, accept the invitation in my email, and have it automatically show up in my calendar app of choice (e.g. iOS calendar)? That's

Can you use fast mail with any email service that supports IMAP or is it like Proton Mail where you have to use their app to check your emails?

I was interested in the concept and applied for a position on the team but was rejected without a phone screen. Thought my enthusiasm would at least warrant a preliminary discussion.

That's great insight. When I was at big 4, I helped look over in house software and translate it for auditors to gain reasonable assurance that the software was correctly implementing accounting processes. A buddy of mine is working on

As a CPA and software developer, I've been wondering if I should build my own product out, but there seems to be a number of options available in the ledger space. However, I'm surprised there isn't more of an overlap in soft

I'm not surprised in the slightest at these newspaper headlines in the linked tweets. They seem par for the course where I live. I sold my car at a profit two months ago and have been walking, cycling, and riding the bus where I need t

It's the CPU. I have NVIDIA and have tried both drivers. I can't pin down the cause or recreate it on demand, but it's always when I'm running Firefox. It's happening at least once per day now, which is frustrating,

It does work great, but for whatever reason, running Firefox on my Linux desktop eventually leads to CPU lockups and crashes. Using Chrome doesn't. I can't pinpoint what would be causing the issue, but it happens multiple times pe

As a CPA looking for an entry-level job as a software developer, it has been disheartening to see hiring managers brush aside my accounting knowledge and experience as next to worthless. I think the theory behind double-entry accounting is

This is such a weirdly US specific issue. It's hard to understand why people in this country refuse to adopt a data-based messaging service such as Signal or WhatsApp like the rest of the world has. Why are US citizens so set on having

Have we really chosen to minimize the suffering? That seems more like virtue signaling by the industry at most. Factory farming is very much still the norm, and it's horrific. It seems we've actually maximized it or have at least
