Does anyone know what tool was used to generate the system architecture diagram? It's really clean and clear - https://github.com/clintonwoo/hackernews-react-graphql#archi...

Whilst it's pretty great that the extension was increased from 17 months to 2 years, you now have to prove an employer-employee relationship, which is significantly more limiting than the previous iteration.

Many thanks in advance!

1. They give no mention of how this handles existing installs of Google Drive or Google Photos Backup.
2. The application has the exact same name for Google Photos and Google Drive. Do I need to download and install both? I tried that, but couldn't move the second to my applications directory without overwriting the first. Looking at the downloads they're the same size, so I'm guessing they're the same, but that begs the question, why the two download links in the blog?
3. Where will photos be saved? I save mine in Google Drive, and choose the option to sync to Google Photos. Will they be stored directly on Google Photos? Because I'd rather keep them on Drive.
I'm still a huge fan of both products, and hope that this cleans up a number of integration issues between both services, but this announcement feels like it wasn't thought through at all.

I've recently switched to raindrop.io, which is an excellent replacement. Bookmarking serves two purposes for me:
1) It provides a way to record sites I don't visit often, which I hope I'll be able to find easily in the future if needed.
2) It provides me with easy access to the sites I visit regularly on all devices, without restricting me to a specific browser, and with an aesthetically pleasing and intuitive UI like Speed Dial

I want the record of these two kinds of pages to live in one place, and while Delicious and Pinboard were close, I felt that they never quite met that need.

That's not to say that you won't benefit from working with a weight where it is possible to control when lowering, but there's a lot to be said for power cleaning a higher amount and dropping upon completion of the rep.

I haven't used it yet myself, but discovered it during a search inspired by this post and thought it would be worth sharing. Definitely a trickier problem to solve for dynamic languages, but looks useful.
