I read all three of these in college and I know Demian and Glass Bead Game meant a lot to me. You should check out Siddhartha.

I haven't attended a movie theater for the last five years for this very reason. I don't think the average person has a clue as to the damage being inflicted on their ears when they go to the movies and I believe the number of tin

As I write this, I'm using a ThinkPad T480s while I get the leaking battery on my 2015 MacBook Pro replaced. The ThinkPad is a nice machine with a great keyboard. A lot cheaper than the MBPs too with comparable specs. I loaded the W

Maybe they should add the 2015 MBP 13"ers too as mine battery is bulging.

I have a similar problem and am totally frustrated by the lack of human support at Twitter. It's really pretty ridiculous.

I'm a web developer and I need a reliable keyboard that's comfortable to type on. The MBP keyboards have been neither comfortable nor reliable since 2015. I've been holding onto my 2015 MBP with it's scissors mechanism

I stopped using StinkedIn a couple of years ago and don't regret it at all. You might do the same.

My first question whenever I see a new framework like this is, is it going to be around for the long-run?

I've always lamented the fact that the major browsers don't make it easy to see how old your bookmarks are and provide a way to highlight and delete ones that you haven't clicked on in awhile.

Given that they've been working on 4 for so long, I'd learn 3 now since it works and the migrate to 4 when it's ready. And for the record, I'm tired of everyone bashing Bootstrap. I'm using it for a production sit

I've been with name.com for probably five years now and I've been pretty happy with them. If I've ever had a question, I can call them and get right through and have my question answered. They haven't given me a reason

I liked the old site better. This is clearly a case of, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." The purpose of documentation is utility, not to look modern. It does nothing that I can see to improve the utility. In fact, a

I totally agree! I know that books are difficult to write and the author deserves his or her due. But these are paper prices for electronic content and I just won't pay this much, particularly when most (if not all the information) i

For the most part, I agree with your opinions and have chosen to develop my product as a web app rather than one that runs on iOS or Android. However, I think web apps will always be hindered for developers if we have to continue relying o

So glad I'm no longer a .NET developer. Every year it's a new razor blade.

I'm 57 but didn't start programming until I was 27 years old. My first summer quarter at Purdue they still had punch card readers and I remember sitting in the hall in the basement of the Math building waiting to have my deck rea

I kind of agree with simonsarris. You take a risk if you rely on a company's product if that company doesn't rely on that product to stay in business. Dropbox lives and dies by its storage feature; Google doesn't.

Very informative post. I only have two questions. First, how difficult it is to get a good Internet connection there? Can you buy a "hotspot" device? Also, what about healthcare? If you get sick, can you get access to good medi
