Just today I investigated about Stremio and Torrentio and oh boy, it was waaay way easier to setup than I thought. I am a person that can handle a good amount of "pain" while using technology (I like using Linux as a desktop, but

A very important and often neglected decision is that he decided NOT to sell when the price was lower (although still high). For main street retail investors , that's the most difficult thing to do.

Honest question: are other jetbrains IDEs "feel" similar to the Android Studio one that can be downloaded for free? I installed it a couple of weeks ago to modify some android app, and boy it gave me vibes of the old Eclipse : sl

The other day I was telling my wife that the next blender I'll get will be a "fuck you" blender. That's the name I gave to an old blender I had 25 years ago when I lived on my own while studying. The blender was an Oste

Your mention of working culture is quite interesting. I am a Mexican and have had the chance to work in "open offices" environments in UK, US and Mexico. For me, US and UK culture was great for Open Office plan, as people were pr

I haven't been there, but the holocaust monument in Berlin (The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe) had a similar effect on me.

I am a CTO and have always tried to have the QA team to be part of the Product Office (CPO) . It tends to keep us honest and ultimately it aligns the decision of churning out new features and building crap in the same team/person. Now,

I remember once I mentioned something about lobste.rs in Twitter (trying to actually be positive for the community) and the creator went all crazy against me . shrug Thanks but no thanks

I feel you are seeing it wrong. You are feeling anger where it wasn't meant to be. The way I read these types of comments is trying to reframe typical human actions in an "impartial " light. Everybody knows kids should go yk

Time and time again ive tried Ionic (7 years ago, and again 1 year ago) and every time it underwhelmed. I like that you can do react now. But Ionic documentations has and still is really bad (thin) and the forums are full of unanswered qu

Just wanted to chip in saying that I completely agree with you. Intellectual property is an idea from last century or older. It doesn't have a place in this new century. Those "sensible" systems will have to change. Instead o

I wonder what's the current "funding" status of Evernote. It is one of those services that has existed for quite some time. I remember when it had just started 20+ years ago. It was supposedly revolutionary, part of the new &

I remember using PHP and CodeIgniter in the mid-2000s. IIRC PHP had that template-interpolation thing solved since the first day: You populated your Views with PHP code.

Yes and no. ExpertsExchange was notable for having "walled" responses and was similar to StackOverflow. In fact, I remember when StackOverflow was launched, it was compared to expertsexchange but "open". It is time to

I tended to agree with your sentiment. But the reality is that for some unknown reason to me, it's companies from SV the ones that get famous and used globally. Why didn't this start from say Mexico? Or Singapore or Vietnam? Or a
