At the very least, adding uBlock Origin add-on and using it in hard mode ( https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-m... ) gives me some peace of mind about Firefox security.

How did the author miss out on using Cmder? It's better the ConEmu and probably the best terminal for Windows today.

I wonder if the same can be said about sugar, where some people taste it as nice and others think it's too sweet or gross. There are various mixes and types of stevia out there. You should find the varieties.

To stay on topic, I'm not talking about anything other than stevia coming from leaves of Stevia rebaudiana whereas sugar comes from sugarcane. The process by which these two plants grow is natural and not synthetic. I'm not gettin

To stay on topic, I'm calling Stevia natural as a comparison to sugar coming from sugar cane, which grows in nature and not in a lab. No marketing speak here.

I'm not a chemophobe by any means. I'm also not anti-lab grown products. Providing for a world with 7+ billion population requires some of this. However, we have decades of studies proving what natural food does to the bodies and

In strict moderation and control, both of these can be used to treat various problems with our bodies without severe side effects. I wasn't arguing that it's necessarily healthy because it's natural.

Most things can be toxic in high doses. Yes, being natural doesn't say much but I wasn't trying to relate that it's healthy for you just because it's natural.

They do have Stevia Coke and Pepsi but I've never had them. http://money.cnn.com/2014/10/02/news/companies/coke-pepsi-st...

It's good to see that Splenda isn't the potential toxic substance we began to wonder it was, but I agree that it tastes icky. That said, I wonder why Stevia isn't considered to sweeten drinks? It's very sweet, it's

Try Gitlab, it's free and partly open source and much closer to Github's UI than Bitbucket.

Unfortunately, SQRL has been in development by a small group of people in a tightly controlled development cycle. I don't want it to continue to be vaporware as it seems like it'd be an awesome solution and competitor, but you are

SQRL has been in development for years, not officially released yet. Right now they are in polishing phase and making sure no major flaws exist. So, what changed? Nothing. Once SQRL is officially released, it has the potential to take on FI

This paper is nearly 2 years old from 2014. One can probably assume this has been addressed and fixed by now, although I have on proof of that.

Even Google Reader had a maximum width of its content with any white space being on the right side of the content. I MUCH prefer this UI.

FIDO will soon have competition in the form of SQRL which is an interesting concept. http://sqrl.pl/

Considering all the rest of the Reader clones that have popped up, I think this one comes as close to Google Reader as they get.

Feedly's use of whitespace bugs the crap out of me. I also don't like the behavior on the desktop as much. I much prefer Inoreader. https://www.inoreader.com

This is as close to Google Reader as I've gotten with any of them. https://www.inoreader.com

If you use Firefox Mobile, you can add uBlock Origin to the browser so that it mimics what the desktop browser can do. And remember that you can enable Disconnect rules in uBlock Origin when you're in Advanced mode!

How is this a real cost, is there an estimate of how many bytes are sent and received and at what interval? If it was anywhere in the thousands of megabytes regularly, maybe that's the real cost but that's just an assumption.

I am not patient enough to wait for poorly developed web pages to load when a native app offers the same functionality at a fraction of the load time. My bank's native app is the only way I can deposit my checks and the web site does n

"I don't think the web is under real threat from mobile native platforms." The main argument against this statement is home screen icons. iOS and Android home screens, among others, do not feature, have not featured, and will

"Businesses desire the bleeding edge in their online-facing products" What kind of businesses? In multiple enterprises I've worked with/for, they move at a snail's pace and are resistant to change. I feel like most
