They "believe it" about as much as modern Englishmen believe King Arthur pulled a magical sword from a rock. It's a nice story to tell tourists.

Google Inbox was fantastic, I miss it. Still, not as good UX as Inoreader for reading newsletters. Also, I find it healthy to keep things I *have* to process (email, to-do lists) separate from things that I scan for interesting stuff when I

Thankfully, Substack provides an RSS feed. If there's no RSS, I don't subscribe. In the future I might try Kill the Newsletter as suggested in another comment.

I was once offered a bottle of California "Port". I have nothing against them making the stuff, and I'm even willing to admit that some people will like it. However, Port it was not. In fact it was further from Port than many

Interacting with companies in several countries, my impression is that many companies in France will hire more people and share knowledge so that the higher-than-average 'vacations days' do not impact business continuity. It'

I believe you are talking about a different layout, "US International with dead keys". I'm talking about "AltGr dead keys", in which the quotes are available directly and the accents are entered using e.g. AltGr-&#x

For Western European devs: do try the "USA International (AltGr dead keys)" layout. It's great for programming and quite good for all the Western European languages (maybe not so much for Eastern European languages that are m

I'll have started Doom, opened a project, found my file, edited, saved and closed, while IntelliJ's indexing bar is still at 10%.

Communities like this pop up regularly but are naturally unstable. They sometimes (often?) work great while their members are like-minded, young and healthy. Over the years the population inevitably drifts and the community either collapses

I agree that was a local maximum, but I'd say peak Linux-on-Desktop was Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity 7. I'm hoping that Gnome 3 + Pop Shell will take us to the next peak, but except for the awesome tiling we're still below the 2 p

I have almost 2 decades of Thinkpad X series stockpiled around the house and none ever broke. (Granted, I don't run Windows on them).

You don't need it nearly as much. Most of the things I used to use AutoHotKey for on Windows are better dealt with by changing a config file somewhere. For the odd case where GUI automation is really needed, you have xdotool, which is

Product analytics may tell you what is happening, but they won't tell you why it's happening. To your question, I don't really have a good answer. From a B2B SaaS perspective, we try to complement analytics with a lot of
