   Can I ask what your frustrations are with Android? I was actually thinking about going to the Google Pixel, but it's been a while since I've used an Android phone as my day-to-day device.

   Suddenly a 128gb iPhone 6s for $549 sounds like a heck of a deal...

   Never heard of Scaleway...those prices seem to beat the pants of DigitalOcean. Might have to look into that, thank you for mentioning.

   You'd be hard-pressed to find a VPS to rent and host your own email server for much less than $5/mo. And that's just an empty server! Now you've gotta set up the email software and hope to god people get your emails sinc

   Yeah that includes cached resources. But in my opinion that's even worse since it's not an app that I would anticipate needing so much cached information. Music or Photo applications I would expect to grow in size with use. But fo

   Facebook app on iPhone is reporting at 1.02 GB for me. Most space used with the exception of storage-based applications like photos/music.

   Unless you're dead set on OSX, you could look into one of Intel's NUC kits [1]. I find this one pretty intriguing [2] (other than the skull thing, but they provide a blank faceplate as well), but it does limit you to an M.2 form-f

   In my purely anecdotal experience, learning web-based technology over C/C++ was not a choice I made personally. It was a career path that was foisted upon me by job availability and hiring requirements. I have yet to see a job posting

    Oh man that would be so heavy haha. But I won't rule it out!

    Sure, for desktops. Poor thermals means that this line of GPUs will find it's way into exactly 0% of the laptop market, which is unfortunate.

    OT: What's with sites wanting to show me notifications? Why on earth would I allow this?

    I don't think that's really accurate or fair. In my experience, you learn very different things in every workplace. Could be a different language or framework. Could even just be a different team arrangement or workflow. Bottom li

    Incidentally, there have been similar space-consuming issues on OS X [1] [2]. Granted, the second one was a third-party application (probably) misusing file versioning APIs, but it's still 200GB of disk space being used in a way that i

    But what if, in the midst of writing this program, you need to rename all occurrences of a variable?

    Yeah, my Japanese teacher in college would constantly mutter "hai". She used it almost as a transitional word between thoughts.

    Ah yeah that's a good idea. I unfollowed a fair few during last year's election cycle, could probably stand to lose a few more.

    I didn't disable my social media accounts, but I did disable all notifications except calls and texts and that has made a huge difference. Those little red badges were so enticing, and I often found myself thinking "wait, why did

    Compared to other podcast-hosting sites, they seem to offer quite a bit for the money (analytics, in-browser recording and editing, 10hrs worth of storage). By comparison, Blubrry charges $12/mo for their base plan, which only gives yo

    I don't think so. There's a whole waterfall of cause effect starting from there. When you deprive a group of people equal opportunities over the span of 200 years, you're bound to develop a culture and community which has gro

    I don't understand why more people don't use push reel lawnmowers. I've used one ever since I stopped living in apartments, and they are not that difficult to use. They are lighter-weight than their gas-powered cousins, and y

    I feel I have this problem(?) still, years after graduating college. I have lived a few places now, and held several jobs, and each time I have treated both the location and occupation with an air of impermanence. I neglect to make friends

    That was a very small section of the writeup, and I feel you've missed the point. The author isn't arguing that taxes are lower/the same as the US. He's stating very clearly that they are higher -- it's even in the
