i.reddit.com is way more basic than old.reddit.com. It's intended for ancient cell phones or the slowest of slow connections. It's actually pretty impressive that it works at all these days.

Combine two interests or abilities. Try combining writing (which you seem to be good at) with computer skills or security with web application experience. You'll be able to charge more if you carve out a niche for yourself. Fiverr is a

It worked for me as soon as I upgraded my Hackintosh to Catalina. I had an invalid serial number and board ID. Not sure why it suddenly worked.

Cloudflare Registrar had some issues at one point but they had more to do with a broken system that assumed the domain was purchased elsewhere than anything else, if I remember correctly. Their support apparently handled that case very well

Google.com was registered long before Google Domains was created. Lots of other more modern Google domains---even .google ones---are registered with MarkMonitor as well. Google Domains doesn't compete with MarkMonitor for large busines

It might be possible to be in a majority-Android friend group outside of North America, but not really here. iMessage is far too entrenched in the US for that to be possible.

Some people are able to use two keyboard layouts fairly well so long as they practice both. Having and using a traditional keyboard layout on a laptop in addition to your heavily-customized desktop setup is a good way to do both.

I'm guessing this is because proper live view video from a DSLR requires much higher bandwidth than USB can provide. The protocols used for remote capture and download over USB should be more standardized, for sure, but live view seems

Google+ and Wave were both doomed because they were invite-only. If you have to ration invites, it isn't much of a social network. Invite-only successfully created artificial demand for Gmail because invited users could immediately c

Sure, but the standard GNU or BSD userland doesn't do that, does it? If you're going to the trouble of implementing your own userspace, then you might as well use a consistent, proper data serialization format (either text or bina

Unix pipes are great, but having to parse plain-text streams is inefficient and error-prone. Imagine how much more powerful it would be if commands returned data in structures that could be used by other applications without parsing an ad-h

This is exceedingly cool. It could be a modern-day Lisp Machine that takes advantage of the Linux kernel's great hardware support. Since Python is such a dynamic language, I'd be interested in how they plan to allow the Python pro

How are they even allowed to say "any potential intoxicants" when they haven't tested for intoxicants? Did they do a test? That seems like a very powerful and prone-to-misuse political tool.

I'm guessing that RSI from holding a phone is not nearly as significant of an issue as RSI from using a keyboard, since there are quite a few more hand positions in which to hold the phone where you can scroll comfortably. Also, your w
