I certainly won't do it in the stack that I don't know even if the rest of the world is saying that stack is the greatest thing since sliced bread. But more importantly, it depends on what I'm doing. Just to give you an examp

I had a print of Euclid's Elements as a kid. My mom was really into mathematical proofs and I being a huge loser kid with no friends naturally took to this book as well.

That's fair. I think some people just like the option of buying the book.

Glad we can buy the book standalone without getting a membership to O'Reilly.

Electronics depreciate fast. That's just that. Not even exclusively Apple thing. You want something that appreciates? Buy a Rolex.

Thank you Sony. I would so buy a standalone music player with buttons and OMG .... a motherfucking 3.5mm headphone jack. So simple. I don't get how removing essential things became "progress" and demanded "courage"

I definitely am addicted to YouTube. I watch it more than Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime combined. I just like documentaries.

Yeah, I couldn't loan that much. I'd gift a friend at most $ 2K and the expectation that I won't see it will ease my mind more than the expectation that they'd pay back $7K.

I'm guessing for every mean comment he handled in public, behind the scenes Steve ripped apart some poor soul in private for doing much less or some soul for not even trying to incite anything.

I liked the soundtrack for what it was but my ears had expected to hear the leitmotifs I was familiar with. It's like watching a new Star Wars sequel and hearing no leitmotifs. Not The Force theme / Luke's theme, not Leia, no

Every time I hear the Shining theme I feel the room get cold. So powerful. Same with A Clockwork Orange (Queen Mary's funeral theme).

Still love the original theme from Tron. As much as the Tron (2010) movie's score had a "cool" factor it lacked the heart and soul of the original. If they ever do another one I'd like to see the original Carlos' Tr

My only issue with Firefox is that where I work Chrome is king and so I have to test a lot of things on a Chromium type of Browser and everything looks a tad different on Firefox. So I when I need speed and not the weight and bloat of Chrom

[off topic] So uh, when did Neil Young actually leave Spotify? At least within Canada, Neil Young's music has always been available on Spotify even during the period when he was feuding with the service about Joe Rogan. Or was just wit

Yeah, even if executed well, who is this for? I know the last thing I want is for some random person to sing the song we're all listening to given that most people can't sing. I find myself usually telling the kids in the car to p

Cause Karaoke has cheesy or corny perception. Have you ever seen those cringe looking karaoke CD compilations of famous songs. They always look cheap. And if Apple knows anything is how to market / rebrand the same old shit and sell it

Oh ok. I interpreted it as: you're in your early 40s, you ain't getting younger, take what you can get. No more job switching for you.

Technically speaking none of these giant corporations are "our friend". They are with the people until their bottom line is impacted / threatened. Frankly, I'm not surprised.
