Let's not mince words. Ubuntu and linux OS'es in general are TRASH as far as user experience is concerned. Lately I even tried elementaryOS, and it's worse than Ubuntu. They keep saying how it's not a copy of OS X, and…
> Beautiful interface Lol? It's 2017 and you're describing a text mode UI. A "Beautiful theme" would be more appropriate.
Put simply digestion is one of the most expensive tasks for the body. It makes sense that giving the whole digestive system a break will free up energy in other parts of the body.
Same on the [10 day Vipassana retreats](http://www.dhamma.org/en-US/locations/directory), for "old students" (basically if you return for the 2nd time or more). So as an "old student" I learned that there was no meal at…
Yeah, so we can have one store with strict policies that protect users and the value of the hardware; and a bunch of other shit stores that offer apps that can hijack our devices. That makes sense! And then Apple is to…
What nobody does is look at a PC, and say, where can we simplify? If you start by assuming that a lambda user needs to be exposed to a complex file hierarchy for example, then you're not really thinking ahead. Then you…
It's quite obvious that Apple is slowly converging iOS and OS X even as they say they are different beasts at the moment. Maybe that's why some power users's expectations are frustrated atm? But that is also precisely…

I was booted off YouTube streaming on my AppleTV. Then my main account disappeared from iOS GMail app, even though a secondary GMail account was still there. Was afraid my accoutn was hacked. My GMail password is unique…
I agree... yuck. I do think if you take a step back and squint a little bit you can sense their design lacks a bit of contrast, but the black header bar is an ugly fix.
I like Medium for browsing front end dev articles in the morning. But I think there is a big UX and design issue that should be questioned : the "feed". This concept has been overused and it doesn't serve users. When I…

They want an "installation" fee. And then how does the renew process work?
True, it's just the transition atm is a bit painful. My host is asking ~80 USD for multi domain SSL. It's not that bad, but they don't support Let's Encrypt yet afaik. Are they aware of this and trying to cash in on…
I don't have "customers" though. I thought this was implicit but maybe I needed to clear that up. Sure makes no difference to security. But that is the consideration when Google pushes everyone to have to buy SSL, even…
Yes it's become very clear to me recently that to fall asleep more consistently I have to quit fiddling on the PC AND have to stop reading the iPad a good hour before sleep. (edit: basically, have to get into a…
I agree. I don't think I'm going to tell them until after I moved though :p In any case they are hostgat0r and while the service is good overall, I hear they've been bought and it's not quite as good as it used to be.…
Thanks so much for all the suggestions!
Well I can configure a Linux vm for development I guess I could handle that. Wouldn't these VPS come with a sensible default?
How cheap? Would you have a suggestion? Thanks.
Not to mention, underlying my sentiment in my comments here, is that basically EVERY website out there can be broken. We hear about this every day now, Yahoo, Dropbox, and on and on. If someone skilled wants to break…
That is 100% correct and I never questioned that in my comments here. I have to realize I'm not the lambda user I guess, as it's obvious to me to use a different passsword betwene my main emails and other services. It's…
I've never said SSL isn't important nor that I don't care about it. My beef is how Google forces this change on everyone, but at the same time haven't the balls to shake things up and make SSL easily available for…
