Just came here to say the same thing. I use Dropbox everyday and pay them my $10 and am happy with the service. I don't need anything other than a sync of the files I've selected. This updat…

Does it apply to Self Proprietor's or partnerships? How about LLC's? Or, is it just C and S Corps?

"My biggest regrets are the moments that I let a lack of data override my intuition on what's best for our customers." I think we can learn something from that quote.

This has been said before and I believe it is incorrect. Apple refunds the 30% cut in most (all?) cases.
comment
Except on Google for Android I only randomly see the reader or simple option. For this site, it's not there. This is a stupid "feature" of Chrome's. Edit: Got it. If I enable simpl…

I didn't sign in too far, but isn't the first line of code on their landing page a typo? (define my-language 'English) Looks like it's missing a closing single quote. I suppose it …
comment
I wondered that too. Looks like a PDF embedded in the page. Maybe they still make some physical magazine and the web content is secondary.

No throwaway? Someone is going to out your company.

Can you explain random rooms for those of us that are not familiar? Just rooms for random chatter, like watercooler?
comment
It's not exactly PRP but I also like to give negative and then positive feedback. I asked some of my employee's about this, however, and some of them mentioned that receiving positive feedba…

It's also useless in time frame. This is over the first few months of ownership. I've owned two of the cars that rank near the top of this list and it's problems after 5 years that I ca…

As another example, checkout Pepakura for Windows. I've used OpenSCAD to design simple 3D models and then used Pepakura to unfold them into flat designs. Manually cutting the designs is slow pain…

That "pocket watch" idea is kinda neat. Maybe someone could bring back the pocket watch form factor. Come to think of it, that's how I used my phone before I got a smart watch.
comment
I just have a simple DSLR from Canon, which says it has WiFi, but the wifi experience is so poor it's not really usable. I guess my point is that if they add a phone, it won't make phone cal…
comment
I created https://neat.joeldare.com as a micro css "framework". Check it out. I've also been experimenting with just using md files on GitHub, which is very easy to write an…

Last year, I made the Splash of Code series of short books as a way to teach JavaScript to new programmers through generative art. It's not very popular, but the people who try it seem to like it…
comment
I recently made https://neat.joeldare.com based on a few of my favorite "text only" examples from the web, although I wouldn't call them that.…

I have a smart TV. I connected it to WiFi for setup and update and then I "forgot" the network. Two weeks later my wife is watching Netflix and I notice it's the TV not my Roku or Apple…
comment
On second look, it's real-time. No need to submit. The results just blend into the page so I thought it was broken.
comment
I found it, but couldn't make it work. Pixel 3a running Android 10 and the stock Chrome browser. Hitting enter on the search field did nothing and I can't see any other submit button. Then a…

Make sure the power adapter is connected at the right (not left) side of the MBP.

Authors (pen names),
musicians,
bloggers,
anyone else who wants a little privacy but still wants to share publicly.
comment
I feel the same way. I might borrow some of the techniques. The plain text with <br> tags makes for really clean code on the index page and I like how the dates are done there too. Last week I…
comment
I think I welcome these changes, but I'm worried about some of the wording that Google uses. The page experience signal measures aspects of how users perceive the experience of interacting wit…
comment
I dunno if this story is authentic... In high school, a teacher told me about an artist who was applying for a job. The application required three pieces of art. The artist included two pieces of art …
comment
Exactly. I've got a blog with dozens of technical documents about JS and other topics. That would be an ideal place to harvest this type of information, from developers actively looking for a sol…

I was wondering why WSJ was down, then I remembered I sent it to localhost in frustration last time I clicked a link there. :P
comment
+1 for keypass. The apps aren't quite as polished, but they do what I need, and I can store my encrypted password file in my Dropbox folder so that I've still got it if any single company in…
