I’ve been using Safari as my daily driver for some time and it’s quite nice to use. Don’t be afraid to give it another chance.

So what’s the best way out?

We’re talking about a difference in thickness of millimeters though. Was my 2014 Macbook Pro really that bulky? The prevailing sentiment over the last several Apple announcements seems to have been “fewer gimmicks, more power”. Maybe softwa

Tracking should be set and respected at the browser level. Consent forms on every single website we visit is absurd.

Redundant how? You say you don’t see how this could help, but the opposite - not doing it - is certain not to help. I don’t understand your criticism and cynicism here.

How? This is just a link to a Facebook job post. Guess this is a good time to plug Gleam though (along with Dialyzer, which has already been mentioned), a statically typed functional programming language which compiles to Erlang. https:&#x

Is there or could there be a way to disable the Home and All buttons? I find Reddit to be much less of a time suck if I’m going to specific subreddits and reading interesting content, but I often just mindlessly browse All without thinking.

Happy to hear you're doing well. Coincidentally, you and I have very similar names.

Or, perhaps, because you enjoy playing with “hot new tech”.

I’m not the parent comment, but VoiceOver and NVDA are great text-to-speech screen readers.

What demographic is this intended for?

Does it? We visited the moon and created the internet in the span of one generation. We are arguably in the most innovative scientific period in our history.

Do you imagine this to be an impossibility? It would only take one.

So it takes an entire year to maybe disassociate yourself from Facebook?

What do you mean by alias? Do you apply to jobs as “chii” or as an assumed name, like “John Smith”, when really your name is “Bob Jones”?

Do you have an issue with playing local files in Spotify itself? I do this for the ~30 or so songs I have on my computer (in Dropbox, actually) and it works just fine.

I enjoy lots of podcasts, few of which are tech-related. Darknet Diaries, as mentioned, deals with security in a Malcolm Gladwell-style episodic mystery format. Linear Digressions is a fun podcast about things related to data science. The C

This might not be the right place for this, but where should one get started with security research?

Kind of a silly thing to even write about, though. The title makes it seem like the reason had something to do with the two languages, not that the developers knew one language and not the other.

I've found that when you reach a certain degree of complexity in an application, a functional CSS library like Tachyons ( http://tachyons.io/ ) or Tailwind ( https://tailwindcss.com/docs/what-is-tailw
