If you want to count back to its initial development, we're going back to 2001, almost two decades. I remember being optimistic/hopeful about the project in its earliest days (following its progress on OSNews). I wanted to see som

OP looks like it's based on Prosemirror: "A React and Prosemirror based editor that powers Outline.." FWIW: I was researching editors that supported live Markdown shortcuts (similar to Dropbox Paper) a while back, and found t

From what I've seen, junior staff protest-quitting has little to no impact, as they're generally viewed by higher ups as easily replaceable. Senior level people in meaningful positions (as opposed to figureheads) are harder to r

Yeah but MBO isn't an MBA thing. It's a bunch of long-held, common-sense ideas that had been proven to work in some settings and got some branding and codification wrapped around it to sell books. If you asked someone who had a lo

When I did my MBA, those types of people were the minority. We had people coming in with undergrads of all types of backgrounds, including engineering. Anecdotally, in my work experience across multiple industries, I haven't heard anyo

The due date feature on the checklist items are pretty awesome too. Like you said, my only gripe is that Paper documents don't have any type of local copy, so if your Internet access is out, you're stuck.

In this particular case, as a paying customer of 1Password who hasn't been terribly impressed by their customer support, I think I'd switch to this offering if the experience was at least comparable to 1PW. I had some issues with

2TB is a lot. I have a lot of stuff backed up into my 2TB account, and I'm still floating at only around 1TB of used storage. But I don't take a lot of videos. I can see people with families who record a lot of HD video use up a l

Back in the day, I needed less than their minimum tier offered, and sent support an e-mail, because I heard they would give you an exception if you asked. They were able to give me a cheaper plan with a smaller capacity. A little later, my

My initial experience with Paper when it came out wasn't super positive. I revisited it late last year, and I now use it heavily. Their markdown shortcuts are what hooked me. It's not perfect, but I do a lot of my notes in it now.

My recommendation is as an all purpose camera for stills and video. So while the GR series are nice cameras, I don't consider them to be as versatile, especially with that fixed 28mm equivalent lens. I tend to think the GR series is mo

It's generally hard to suggest anything to anyone without knowing a little bit about them. Having said that, my "stock" recommendation is something really small (i.e. something that you'll still carry with you after the

I'm already at the half century mark, and while I do go through my older photos occasionally, I am still happiest when looking at photos of our dogs. Who knows if that will change in 20 or 30 years.

I think one thing Apple got right about smartphone photography is that they are selling the general public the ability to take superior photos without most of the inconveniences that tend to come with superior cameras . And that equation

I don't know what it is, but people want other people to be like them. You can substitute anything in the place of "laptops" - programming languages, methodologies, coffee, barbecue sauce, diets, exercise etc.

I used to be big on viewfinders... until I had to get reading glasses. Even though my cameras with VFs have diopters, I find myself just looking over my regular glasses and touching the screen to focus and shoot.

While I generally agree with what you're saying, I will say that candids are not necessarily better than posing portraits. That's a very subjective thing. There are some cultures that prefer the posed portraits over candids.

I'm also rarely in my travel photos, but that's more because I don't like looking at myself in photos.

> the Canon EOS 4000D can only do 3 fps, and only has a buffer of 6 frames. If you're going to use a single camera as your example for the industry, I don't think that's fair. Canon makes great cameras, but my Nikon V1, ci

The good ones are still somewhat expensive (i.e, Sony RX100 series) and they are chunky enough that you want or need bigger pockets.

If you use a smaller sensor camera, like a 1" or 4/3, wide open can appear sharper because of the increased depth of field, and give you a greater margin of error.

I have found that a lot of people who aren't into photography tend to draw a positive impression of a person's photographic knowledge/skill based on that person's gear (bigger, more accessories, expensive appearance). Bu

Agree. When I first got my first DSLR and prime, all I did was shoot wide open on aperture priority. When I look back at my photos, I cringe. These days I generally prefer more depth of field as opposed to less. Unless I have to, I prefer t

Note that it also applies to consumers of photography as well. Not all consumers of photography necessarily draw any artistic value from the photos they look at. For example, my mother would complain about my travel photos that didn't

Absolutely. When the PM had to explain to China that our judicial system operates independently from government (as it relates to the Huawei exec's extradition to the US), it was funny and sad at the same time.

I don't think it does a whole lot with respect to the other Android phones for pricing. I ended up getting a Huawei P20 Pro last year. It was the best value I could get for the price, by a long shot. Koodo was offering it for $0 additi
