Technology is progressing fast, but I think UX is going down more and more.

To be able to read basic text, we need to fix things by ourselves, make scripts, addons, etc.

Soon we will need fix for this, fix for that, fix for everything.

I guess at the time of building this PC, iMac Pro stil wasn't announced. It would be great to hear what author thinks now about iMac Pro.

At the moment, I work 60% from home and 40% from the office, and this perfectly suits for me. However, more and more I hate 9 to 5 working hours, but that is another topic.

Nice and eloquent! Will read also other articles.

Btw, 99pi is great podcast.

99 percent invisible

http://random.fyi What I learned is that people like more one simple website doing one thing well then one website try to do all the things. My other website which work one thing only brings me revenue.

Agree, good idea.

I'm small fish here, but since question was asked I will share. https://random.country/ brings me around 40$ passive income monthly. Around 5K visitors monthly. Probably it could bring me more money with one more ad.

I'm Xiaomi user also (Mi4C). Battery lasts 2 days (day + night + day), with 2 sim cards active and 4G and wifi enabled also. All automatic refresh (mail for example) is disabled, Facebook app deleted etc. However, I think good battery life is due to xiomi.eu rom.

I agree! 6 years ago when I started with web, as a total newbie, decision was to use Ruby on Rails. I gave up after day or two, I didn't understand how to start with this thing. And I was pissed of. Then I wrote few lines and save it as .php, upload to hosting which I already had, and things worked. I'm still using php to this day.

I stil don't understand how this guy did it. Can someone explain in a few words?

Well, I made dumb website just for fun. I thought it will be fun only to me and few other people. Then after one year I decided to put ads there, just to cover hosting. Now it is making 35$ monthly, completely passive and growing. Not much, but it's paying Linode server and domain cost for all other websites I have. http://random.country/

I didn't promote too much, I just put link in signature on two forums I occasionally visit and forget about it for a few months. Later, people somehow find it. Over the time there were few twitter posts about it, few share on 4chan and similar pages. Then your rank on Google gets better, and so on.

Ok, will check, thanks!

25$/month in Adsense. Not much, but it's passive and it grows. Everything started as a fun small project. http://random.country/

I would ditch my smartphone immediately if this dummy Nokia phones could run Viber for example.

For me, only showstopper to migrate from Mac to Linux is alternative for iMovie and Lightroom. Any progress on this alternatives for Linux in last year or two? What programs do I need to check?

Elementary is nice, it is also my backup OS, and I also donated some money to them 1 year ago.

Probably iPhone will be faster in every day usage with 2GB of RAM then these 2 phones with 6 GB.

Great podcast btw, love 99pi!

This landing is epic!

I didn't quite understand bouncers. Those are some tools for private browsing?

It's time to simply abandon this sucker. It won't be easy, but I hope better alternative will emerge.

> When you look at all those apps people install, like 5 different IM apps, 5 social network apps, 10 games, 5 productivity apps... like what the hell?

I agree, this is so wrong, broken. It shouldn't be like that.

On old iPhone 4 I'm using, Wired site is very slow. But with JS disabled, it runs and looks great.

Wow, review is already there.

I wonder if there will be review on Arstechnica after Siracusa?!

Surprising news. I bet sales will be very high.

The list of all countries is available at Wikipedia, they allow to use their data. On backend I used php (php random function) and sqlite as database. For maps I used Google Maps javascript api.
