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”.

I wonder what’s your take on Crimea and Russia in this case.

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.

How does Mozilla earn money?

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.

Login with Facebook is a nightmare: I've stopped counting the times I've had a problem with accounts created with Facebook Login. It is pain in the ass to switch that account to a regular one, once you did it.
