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?

Where do those fines go?

This also makes remote work more viable in non-traditional locations.

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 software engineers aren’t the target market for these computers anymore though, or perhaps my bubble is too small.

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

Does this only occur in DuckDuckGo’s Android browser?

You Need A Budget

Connect to chat.freenode.net, type /list, and find the channels that interest you. :)

IRC is still alive and well

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.

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. I had to remove Apollo from my phone (even though I paid for it!) because I often find myself spending too much time doing nothing. My current solution is bookmarking a bunch of i.reddit.com URLs in Safari, but the experience is really poor.

Thanks for making an app that I used for far too many hours.

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.

I believe NerdWallet counts as well.

No, the same thing happens to me. I often run ProtonVPN + Firefox with uBlock Origin and a couple other privacy-related addons.

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.

MeUndies. Y’all are missing out.

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 Changelog has interviews with creators and leaders spanning a wide variety of technologies.

The Tim Ferriss Show, hosted by Tim Ferriss, has long-form interviews with mostly celebrities and business leaders. A lot of good episodes.

How Did This Get Made is a podcast hosted by Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, and June Diane Raphael that dissects terrible movies. This is just overall the funniest podcast I’ve ever listened to. Highly recommended.

Armchair Expert is a pretty cool podcast hosted by Dax Shepard. He mostly interviews other celebrities, but they tend to talk about real issues and usually aren’t focused on promoting things. He’s very open about his past addictions and his mental health, so I recommend picking and choosing episodes of celebrities you like.

I’ve listened to lots of others in the past, but these are my main rotation. Shoutout to Codepen Radio, Syntax, Elixir Fountain, Pod Save America, Harmontown, and others, although I no longer listen to those regularly.

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-tailwind/) is the only sane choice.

Hey, thanks for this. I watched this video a few months ago when I was getting started with Magic Lantern. Nice work!
