8 reasons why I replaced my Kindle with an iPad Mini for reading ebooks

zdnet.com Lance Whitney 2025-12-18 20:22:00

Lance Whitney/ZDNET I like to read in bed before I nod off to sleep. Though I enjoy the feel and texture of a good, old-fashioned printed book, I typically turn to ebooks because they're easier on the eyes. And what do I use as a reader? No, not a Kindle, but my trusty iPad mini. Also: I finally found a tablet that can easily replace my iPad and Kindle (and is affordably priced) I've tried a couple of Kindles in the past, but didn't quite take to them.

Dotfiles feel too intimate and personal to share

news.ycombinator.com Juha-Matti Santala 2025-12-18 20:36:01

I love dotfiles. “Dotfiles” is a term that refers to configuration files used to configure software and operating systems. They are called such because often these files start with a dot. You may have seen .bashrc , .tmux.conf or .zshrc in the wild. Whenever a software doesn’t offer direct file-based configuration, I feel sad because it means I need to take extra steps to keep my configuration across different devices in sync or when setting up a new machine. I love sharing. I regularly publ

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-12-18 20:24:08

In 1938, Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, who had fled to New York to escape fascism, discovered a material in which a process of this type occurred: uranium.
