Thanks, I had no idea Vinegar existed. The default embedded Youtube player is awful and had me using other browsers to avoid it, none of which I find very good. You’ve made Safari on my iPad usable again.

It’s not that a mid-drive motor adds more wear, as you note it should be about equal to a bike with no motor. But the hub motor reduces wear, as you are applying less force to the drive train to achieve the same moving power, since the moto

I do this, though not from Windows, just Mac and Linux. I use restic, which has B2 support smd handles all the encryption. it also does diffing for backups. There's a Windows build, so I assume it would work for you there as well. You

I’m the same and have been using it mostly just to keep track of the names of everyone’s jobs, SO, and kids. The site on mobile is usable, an app might help but isn’t required. As for your data, it lets you export everything quite easily (a

Nope. My company ended moving off it because it’s not extensible at all. create-poi-react-app is a nice alternative, same functionality (and more) while using webpack chaining and allowing you to bring your own eslint config (or anything el

Devices from that fruit company are the best bet as far as I can tell. My 3 year old tablet is still getting updates. My 2 year old phone is too, and I expect it’ll continue getting them for at least another 2 years; my phone before this on

Or, if you'd prefer to keep your browser of choice, just use a different search engine.

I hadn't realized it, but yes, this is exactly the experience I expect. The AMP page is like a modal I front of the actual site. Or that's how I think of it anyway.

Swiping right from the left edge is the defacto way to go back on iOS. I realize not all apps implement it, but the good ones seem to. It's the thing I miss most every time I use Android, especially in the browser. Having to reach all

I use another browser on my phone for fb, and it's the only thing I use that browser for. This is amazing! I can finally read all of the messages I had without installing their app. Thank you so much for sharing that!!

Nice job! Of all the third party browsers I've tried on iOS, this is the only one that feels as nice as mobile Safari, and the only one I'd consider using full time. Do you have any plans to implement bookmarks, or any way to &quo

Hangouts is an easy goto, but it uses a ton of system resources. Zoom is amazing for video chat, even with hundreds of people on a call. The screen sharing works well too, and even offers remote control. It uses a lot less resources to run

Pre-paid plans seemed to have started their lives as a huge ripoff, and I think they still have that stigma. But MVNOs have made them an amazing value now, and T-Mobile has helped a ton too. Even buying directly from the other big three pro

I was just going to recommend this book myself. Before reading it, I had no idea how long some of these aqueducts are and how many dams had been built nationwide (and why) - now when I fly I can't help but trace water paths and look fo

To be fair, the profit Samsung is reporting isn't limited to their Android phones. From the article: > Samsung's estimated $5.2bn haul from both its basic models and smartphones in the same period. I don't thing profits on

I got that the other day. I was kind of excited, until I started using it. I recently started to play the inbox-zero game, and now I have 3 inboxes to sort through, and make sure things were being categorized correctly. Pretty painful. Like

In my experience, most people don't even know what they are, much less know how to use them. The ads they are used in rarely give the user a reason to engage, so users also don't care. The biggest problem I have with them is that they are a

I was on Tmo's pre-paid plans for years. You can't beat their price. Their coverage left something to be desired though. If you're in city (for me, Chicago and later Phoenix), it works great. Once you leave that city though (ie, 15 minutes

That's definitely what I should be doing. Usually though, I've gone through 2 or 3 interviews already for this position, one of many I am interviewing for, and I'm tired and want to be done with it all. The last round, one 1 company sat me

> I think of hiring as everyone's job, as it's right up at the top of the list of things that will determine the course of company culture over time. That's what bothers me so much about it. The team and the culture is hugely important.

The poor interview process is one thing, but what irks me most is that almost nobody offers you a chance to meet the team, even when they make you an offer. That's been my general experience so far anyway. It sucks, because your only exposu

I'm nowhere near the top, but get these emails all the time. Want some of your own? Put your resume on any of the big job sites; just one is all it takes. You'll get calls and emails daily, usually several a day. Almost all of them will be

I've seen this service before and really like the idea. My hangup is the Facebook requirement. I understand why you use that network, and that it would be difficult to use another to try to gauge which groups would have a good time though.

Life: Reading more books. I've read more book in the last two years than I have in the rest of my life, both in physical and in audio forms. It's amazing what little bits of information you pick up from all kinds of different books. Program
