Love it! Like the fair pricing scheme and no monthly subscriptions. Keep it going and we might move from helpscout’s overpriced bloated tool.

Just hate another subscription service.

Let’s just hope Adobe doesn’t buy it as they did and ruined Macromedia

Don't let me copypaste unnecessarily :0

Stop on holidays. Take champix. An cut alcohol and coffee for a few days and that'all you have to do quit.

So this is a direct pinboard comp?

Would be Nice to save enitre pages without paying extra

There are some basics you need to know: css/html/sql/php (or python)

Depending on your goal, the thing is that none of these you need to know as an expert, but need to know the knowledge to collaborate with other people on it.

But yes, the times that you could make “top notch” websites on your own: doing a photoshop design, doing the css/html and code it in bare php are over :)

This diagram is scrary and gives a feeling of overkill.

I’d love to switch to Linux - just to be able to work with a decent hardware laptop again. But can’t live without a few mac-only apps, like Sketch.

I find that iMac’s offer good value for money, but the Macbook Pro’s are horrible laptops.

I’m still convinced that Jobs was smart enough to build good machines for developers. Cook doesn’t care.

I still have an MBP 17”, still works great, battery is dead. I would’ve loved a new version of that machine under Jobs.

1500$ new iPhones, product lines not even being slightly updated... it’s a mess.

BUT: it’s nice to have your photos appear on your desktop and ipad and, it’s just easy.

As I got older, I started gaming less (or not at all anymore), and after alot of Mac bashing (14 years ago), and tired of installing Windows 93 every few months for every family member, a huge Apple adaptor: just because I want to get things done, work, get paid for that, and spend my free time not messing around with Window’s flaws. That’s biased, I know, things probably improved by now, but every time I picked up a MS tablet or was given one, I still felt it was wacky.

That said, I now have all Apple stuff, even though I’m not a Apple fanboy: I just want my stuff to work and spent my free time with my wife and kids.

This sums up that I have a Macbook Pro, Ipad Pro, and an iPhone. The Macbook Pro is imho, one of the worst products they ever made. Poor battery time, crappy keyboard, no escape key, the only nice thing about it is the screen.

My iPad Pro, on the other hand... is a work of art. An incredibly good battery time (btw, battery time is also not just living on the battery, but also: working on it without a electricity socket).

So it’s safe to assume that the Ipad’s are wayyy more energy friendly then the MBP’s.

What I don’t understand about Apple is that even though the iPad’s are great machines: we need people to build software for them. So, traditional PCs (where we can connect 2-3 monitors to, etc) are still essential. I think Cooke forgot about that. Jobs, nomatter what - still kept developers in mind.

I love my iPad, and am for regular browsing not using my overpriced MBP anymore. But to replace it? To get real work done? To have a “norton commander” like interface? I think it’s still along road to go to replace the traditional desktops. And btw, the Apple iMac’s are objectively good products, that’ll last a long time for a reasonable price.

It’s painful to see Lenovo releasing these frequent up-to-date great hardware laptops, and Apple, with all their billions in the bank, doing a minimalistic effort on even upgrading the Mac Mini, Mac Pro, etc.

Is it arrogance? Focus? Steve more awknoledging the coders, even in his own way?

Either way, with many Chinese developers introducing new hard and software features (foldable phones, wireless charging) and Apple always being late to the game (but then executing it well). I wonder what their strategy is there for the moment. I know no-one of my family is going to put +1000$ for a new phone.

To me, the biggest key Apple has is MacOS which is superior to any OS out there, in consistency and user-friendlyness for any end-user. Oh: and everything looks pretty and intuitive too. Even for my mom.

I hope they step up their game and make things more dev friendly, otherwise it’ll be a open game, and really soon.

They are basically not allowed to have a real army, still just like Japan, "only defence armies".

I'm not talking about offense acts or actions. I'm talking about being allowed to do miletary R&D and actually being allowed to have a real army out there. They don't.

So how far off is it to assume they're assertive with AI to make up for it?

Germany is still not allowed to have an offensive army, so it makes a lot of sense to at least stay first class in tech, and in AI, in order to stay relevant as a world leader for the future.

I’ve been pondering about a solution for this as well. Personal CRM, what a great idea I thought to myself.

Just even to remember all parents and kids names of the people I meet through my own 2 kids; at school, soccer,... it’s be great if there was a mature app for that

But it’d need an mobile app too.

Unfortunately availability of many of the products mentioned here are limited in Europe, require int shipping and which makes it also hard to try out and send it back. So it becomes tricky looking at a 300 Euro somehthing product

I would recommend normal online trainings (which you can do without pressure), getting some good books and have the discipline to stick with it.

MOOCs are trendy but hard to keep up with if anything uncertain popups up in your life, or you can't keep up because you don't have the skills yet etc.

MOOCs in it's current form are not particularly interesting unless, or even sustainable for the large audience it's been appealing to --- unless you're a student or someone with plenty of time.

What I find baffling is the difference in leaks pre and post Jobs era.

Perhaps management should look at themselves also why people are leaking now and weren’t before.

The problem is that Amazon just doesnt care about things like these. Remember long it took them to fix their broken rating system? And it’s still not fixed, it’s just “less broken”. Though quite vital for people’s shopping experience

That's correct, but it also depends on how deep you want to get into the topic. Sometimes this "free for all open air market place" suffices. The real pro's are hanging out on dedicated forums, though they're becoming harder and harder to find and new ones are not being setup/take off.

I would say that Facebook and Twitter also had their share of killing the classic forums, unfortunately. Which are a much structured way to find and organise conversations.

Oh,right yes ofcourse there's a subreddit for that...

For me the product is quite feature finished as it is (even before their cloud option came), and in general I dislike subscriptions.

I don't mind paying for software upgrades, and new versions. But all these companies counting on sleepwalking subscription models, oh hey, call me oldschool.

Bitwarden's pricings seem much more reasonable, going to check it out.

I do find $36/yearly for a single licence quite alot for this kind of tool.

This is the kind of product that's so feature rich already, I would not need real new features built in. And storing a few passwords takes no diskspace either.

I'm using the non-cloud version, that sync with Dropbox, but suspect 1password of deliberately having it syncing poorly to push us to the cloud version.

I really do think the momentum has become of Facebook’s demise.

Another side effect is that any other tech company (like Twitter) might close down their APIs etc even more.

One basic problem which I don’t understand from Facebook which could’ve prevented most of all this is: why aren’t the default settings of an account more secure and private?

At least it’s Apple, so chances are they will do something useful with it.

Google could’ve bought it and shut it down.

True, real, motivation comes forth from becoming begeistert or obsessed with your project. The Kanban board will not help with that core thing.

This is at least something I notice when reading biographies or success stories, or even looking at my own humble side projects: the obsession, to think about it day and night.. that’s what moves things forward.

Agile with Kanban etc.. are just tools to facilitate and reinforce the process.

Or perhaps “obsession” is not the right word: but “passion”, is.

Quite a filler article for something like Forbes. Nothing to see here.

I thought it was a bit of a quality outlet? This is very mediocre.

Beautiful. Good work man.

This is basically developed to protect users from big abusive companies such as Facebook, Google, Twitter and big marketing agencies.

But it really is overkill for the local restaurant that wants to mail their customers.

Using a bazooka to kill some flies.

It’s quite unclear what this practically would mean. Some things are getting confusing with Dropbox already. Why for example, can’t I find the “Paper” files, in an actual seperate folder?

I’m not sure this is a good thing.

Then again I’m quite surprised how incredibly good iCloud syncing is from Apple, it took them years, but it works impeccable - though I know it’s more limited.

This seems to nail it: http://highlysensitiveperson.net/episode2/

It’s an interesting question, and could have imagined people sharing their beds with pets, but with livestock? Is funny.

I personally have sleeping problems in rooms that are too warm, and warm blankets don't help. It's not when going to bed but a few hours in - around REM time? I wake up panicking as if I'm suffocating. That's why I always sleep with the window open, also when it freezes on the winter. My SO is not so much a fan :).

Also strange: on the iOS app, you can add multiple accounts. On the web version not.

Tweetdeck doesnt feel snappy at all.

Twitter is, very broken - for a very long time now.
