Why post an article that's behind a paywall? How many of us can read it?

A good article, but you really can't see the screenshots at all.

Why is everybody always "thrilled" when they announce a new product? Isn't "happy" or "excited" good enough? I can't remember the last time I was "thrilled" about anything.

Why post an article that's behind a firewall that only subscribers can read?

Nice job!

Are people still using Django?

This pretty much sums up why I've switched to "low-code" platforms. I can still do about 95% of what I was doing before and I don't have to put up with this nonsense.

Why's the font so big? hahaha

This is utterly ridiculous. Unless you're a long-time Unix hacker or system administrator (I was the latter for ten years), trying to do anything in Linux is time-consuming, difficult, and ultimately very frustrating. Desktop Linux was always be a backwater for techies and it has absolutely no hope of widespread adoption like Windows or macOS.

Why would I use this? I don't know this guy from Adam. (laughing)

What's the point of linking to an article behind a paywall that all of us probably can't read?

(ROFLMAO) Given how dismally user-unfriendly most Linux versions are, you couldn't pay me to have a phone that runs on Linux.

Nice idea but the vertical titles are too hard to read. Why not just stack the books one on top of the other for the sake of usability?

That's interesting. I definitely think there's a cyclical aspect to it because my fatigue usually goes away in the evening around 6 p.m. or later.

I find that if I get eight hours of sleep at night, I can move mountains. But if I only get 7.75 hours of sleep or less, my eyes feel tired all day and I'm only half as productive. I've never understood why there is such a marked difference between eight hours of sleep and almost anything less than eight hours. There's something chemically going on inside that I don't understand. The problem I'm having now is that I can get a good five or six hours but I wake up after that fifth or sixth hour and can't get back to sleep long enough to get that ideal eight. This problem is seriously affecting my career and I don't know what to do. I do do moderate to vigorous exercise five times a week but that doesn't always help.

As long as we're having a big bitch-fest here, I'll throw in my $.02. Other than expanding batteries, my laptops have generally been trouble-free. But the problem I do have is that the older my MBP, the slower it becomes when I upgrade the OS. When I upgraded my 2015 to Big Sur last year, it essentially became unusable because it ran so slowly. It now sits in my closet. Apple should stop nagging you to upgrade the OS if your hardware wasn't built to support the newer versions. Just give us security updates and leave the rest alone. I think that would make a lot of users happy.

I suspect Bezos's PR person came up with this after that stupid you all paid for this comment he made.

Top 3%er here and I rarely use Stack Overflow anymore. I got so tired of the snarky answers to questions (both mine and others) and peoples' ability to downvote you without giving any justification. I've been there for 12 years but fortunately, in that time, I've become a good enough developer that I can generally figure out my own problems. And if I get stuck, I'll go to the relevant Google group or to a sub Reddit. Stack Overflow is no longer relevant to me.

While I'm new to Webflow, I get a feeling that some people try to push it too far. It seems to me that it's mostly a no-code tool meant for basic "brochure" sites with some modest CMS capabilities built in. And for many, many businesses, that's sufficient. It provides additional design flexibility for those who understand HTML and CSS. If you're making a site that's so complex that you need version control, you should probably be using a web application framework. But, in a pinch, you can always export your code and do VC on that. Just my $.02.

Is this a layer on top of Webflow or did you copy its functionality and add a simpler UI on top?

I agree. I'll never buy any hardware that runs Windoze.

This is definitely a monopoly. Look at any image and chances are it comes from Getty. I'd like to see anti-trust investigations here.

This guy needs to learn how to style paragraphs. No one wants to read edge-to-edge.

I'm tired of all of these "masking" type treatments that supposedly help your body to stop noticing Tinnitus. I want to see something that actually stops the problem at the source. Tinnitus usually gets worse over time so at some point, it becomes difficult to ignore. I've been dealing with it for over 20 years and I'm fed up.

C'mon folks. It's _always_ about money.

Maybe just use protonmail? I'm no security expert but they do claim to encrypt all emails between users on their platform. It's alot easier than this.

I loved "The Martian". Self-reliance and ingenuity. A great read!

Most definitely read Flaubert's "Sentimental Education." The ending still gets to me.
