A lot of technologies are getting way more complex and confusing than necessary. Just look at the market of time management. Tonnes of tools, software, coaches, websites, books, etc. You name it. I recently found out that a simple .txt file

My code folder is a sym link to a folder in my iCloud drive. The beauty is all my code will be sync'ed to cloud automatically, and the bonus is I can see this folder in every machine that syncs with the same Apple account. I believe th

A few thoughts after reading the article: (1) The writing style isn't impressive given the author claiming to be a native English speaker and a teacher. A bit wordy and incoherent. Example: I was in China from February 2007 until June

I kind of agree this strategy, but do note I am not looking at being cheap. My people are paid well above market rate, the point is I need execution and work done, there is a limit on how out-of-box and creative an employee should be. One c

I am a developer and I have a mechanical keyboard hooked up to the rig, so I seldom use the mac keyboard anyway. My main complaint would be the hardware doesn't seem to get better. The USB-C ports I do see them coming, but given my 201

Why a negotiating ploy? I doubt there is any other replacement for Walmart that accepts Visa and offers comparable level of price and range of products. Thoughts?

The 3D vertical farm reminds me something a bit tangential, but similar that you can do at your own home. It is called window farms: http://our.windowfarms.org/ The idea is to use recycle matters to build a home garden. Nic

Need somebody to shed lights on this: my understanding is Ethereum started with pre-farmed ethers and opened for sale in bitcoins. My two questions: 1) Any info on how many ethers the founders/founding company had farmed and holding in
