I’ve been using Unread app on my iPhone to read all my RSS feeds. I really don’t get all these “RSS is dead” arguments — for me it’s always been such a pleasant experience. People don’t talk about it much, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s “dead”.

Did you try Ghost (https://ghost.org)? Their editor is quite good. Also, they've released version 1.0 a few days ago.

I wonder what made them to open offices in some of the most expensive cities in the world in the first place?
Was it in order to find the right talent? There are great people in other, less expensive cities.

If you're deliberately looking for it — you will definitely find/experience it at some point.
In my personal experience, Berlin is very foreigner-friendly.

I've just checked this book on Safari — it seems it indeed doesn't have the issues I've experienced while reading on Safari, like spacing between the letters in a word, tons of whitespace in weird places and poor image quality.
That means that overall quality of books ranges on the platform.
May I ask you, would you still prefer a Safari version of this book over, say, a PDF?

I am a Safari subscriber, however I use it only for quick reference or for watching videos.
I've never read a whole book on Safari only for one reason: the HTML formatting in the browser (as well as in the Queue app) is terrible. It still amazes me, how a publisher such as O'Reilly, who by definition should be aware of importance of such things as typography, almost entirely neglected this in Safari. Books in Safari are just stream of text, without a proper layout. I truly wonder, if Safari employees have read a whole book on their platform themselves.
If I needed to read a whole book — I would still buy the paper version directly from the publisher or Amazon.
The news, that O'Reilly is gradually switching towards a subscription-only model in the future, are very disturbing for me.

All programming-related notes — Quiver
For daily research — Evernote (though I dislike it)
For brainstorm — paper moleskine
If anyone knows a good solution for organizing your own wiki — I'd very grateful!

In preferences you can always tune the level of "yellow". I personally, keep it at 5500k during the day, and in the evening turn it down a bit to 4800k.

Surprised that no one has mentioned Telegram https://telegram.org/ so far:
Encryption, fantastic stickers, photo editor, tons of interesting channels, probably the best bots platform out there.
+ all mobile platforms and desktop version (as well as web based)
You can also find it's code on github.

I have this version: so far looks better around 200MB written while listening for cca 30 minutes.
I really hope they've fixed this.

What was the decision behind this?
Why not to develop a native app (swift or objective-c), that would be better optimized and would perform better?
Isn't there enough evidence that wrapped web apps like Slack or Atom (and now Spotify) perform worse than the native apps?

I use MiniHack (iOS) to read on the phone: there is an option to increase the font size.
The UI is not the best and how the comments are displayed could have been done better, but it works for me.

Huge respect for you for keeping your MacBook for so long.
I personally tired of stuff that "breaks" or becomes "obsolete" in a year or so.
Our environment is doomed if we continue to have lifestyles like this: buying new shit in a year.

Apple is being run more and more by marketers, rather than by techies.
As a developer, I don't want to see "emojis" on my keyboard, but I do want to be able to plug in any device I need in that exact moment, without looking for a right dongle.
Apple needs to stop sacrificing usability for "looks".
