yeah, recent Microsoft attitude for development tools is excellent. They opensourced a lot of codes, released Visual Studio Code,and integrated Windows with bash shell. I assume Apple is becoming less dev-oriented company, seeing they are making light of pro tools like MacPro and function keys.

FastMail is great and their web interface is really light and fast, but the pricing[0] doesn't fit me. I want to use my custom domain as an email address, so I have to choose the `Enhanced` plan ($40 USD per 1 year). That also provides 100 domains and 500 domain aliases, it is a bit overwhelming for personal use. I hope they would make a new middle-class plan between `Full` and `Enhanced` with Cal/Card DAV features.

I also want to build a self-host data completion proxy on my own. But the more web sites support SSL connection, the less impacts on the data completion in the future I think. WWW are moving toward the all encrypted internet, so is this kind of technologies a temporary stuff? Or is there a possibility to reduce data transfers under the SSL protocol?

Do they have any plans to support python3? I want to use it on Arch and Ubuntu. FAQ says they will address this issue by python3 becomes mainstream, but what does the mainstream exactly mean? When RHEL set python3 as default? Python2 maintenance continues until 2020, so seems have to wait for more several years.

I'm curious about how large companies manage their status pages. Are they running dedicated servers, internet access lines and DNS etc... for only indicating service status? What happens if status pages go down. Is there a status page of status page?

I've started to use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine in Firefox recently, but accuracy of results often falls short of my expectations. So I end up entering the same query again at Google especially when searching for technically detailed Q&A. Is there anyone who only use DDG in everyday life?

Just out of curiosity, are free mail providers like Gmail and Yahoo! mail using postfix and Dovecot to manage their mail services? Also to filter spam, do they rely on spamassassin or other free software with some customizations?

I hope 3D printers make this situation better. If robot owners can print broken components that manufacturers stopped producing, they are able to repair their pets by their own. Of course, companies have to open their products information though.
