Custom built high end PCs have problems getting 60fps at ultra with maxxed AA in some games. Literally nobody is expecting such performance from these machines.

Of course it's not racism. You can absolutely discuss the negative aspects of a culture. This bending over backwards to be PC is truly absurd

There are quite a few tenkeylenss or 60% boards that exist for this very reason.

It has been proven in multiple studies that police dogs can be manipulated by their handlers, either by triggering them consciously or just by the fact that the dog picks up on the cop's body language.

This is headless.

no-one in the real world gives two hoots about #1

That's not true at all. I have plenty of non-technical people who chose to upgrade their laptops as time goes on, even if they don't do it manually themselves. Same goes for desktops.

Looks the same on an iPad.

It's definitely the light. It's a black/blue dress but the sun makes it have a hint of gold.

Daily Show/Colbert are so incredibly dumbed down and mainstream though. And South Park has the annoying tendency to reiterate its point throughout the episode.

That may be true for the Bay Area, but it's different literally everywhere else. In Europe for instance Ruby is still quite rare compared to PHP and .NET.

Also, Google trends is hardly a metric. Compare indeed trends or StackOverflow tags, and you'll see PHP is much more relevant.

Echoing what the sibling comment said, I have almost 300 games on Steam (at least half of those are indies) while 4-5 on mobile. And my mobile games are Threes, Monument Valley etc. basically the super popular ones.

It really isn't, not for professional (web) designer work at least. It might be ok for removing a couple of red eyes, but honestly the interface is so clunky it's just a PITA to use.

Although I agree with what you are saying, this is hardly new. (And still disappointing IMO).

Developers in the RoR community have a tendency to say that "Rails is very good for one set of problems (Basecamp), and using it for anything else is problematic". This has been the answer for every attempt that tried to introduce some worthwhile idea to the Ruby community, be it OO design, TDD or something more "enterprisey" like hexagonal architecture. It's not the Rails Way™, move on.

I've heard developers whom I respect (ie. Avdi Grimm, Sandi Metz) shrug this inherent limitation of Rails off, and I find it really weird. It's akin to Stockholm syndrome really.

Site looks horrible on an iPad.

Check out Spacemacs. It tries to be just this: Emacs with a lot of plugins out of the box, sane keyboard shortcuts and Evil integration if you want it.

Not trying to troll, but it's seriously depressing how much time is wasted on this language.

Good. You seem to favor form over functionality, nothing wrong with that. Emacs is the complete opposite of that.

That's not true at all. I can find dozens of full length movies and hundreds of full length albums on YT, all uploaded illegally.

Javascript is superflous for 99.9% of websites.

For web sites, yes. For web applications though (of which there are more every day), it's definitely not.

That's a very reasonable approach actually.

On the other end of the spectrum are people ( teenage girls mostly) who actually kill themselves from the relentless online harassment.

Different people will react differently, just like in an offline setting. There isn't really a solution that works for everybody.

Very interesting read.

That, or contribute to Neovim https://github.com/neovim/neovim

I never bought a pro account because, like the OP says, I consider Dropbox for smaller things. 100 GB was too much then, and now 1TB is ridiculous. I would have liked a smaller tier (20-25 GB at the most), but I guess they can't really make money if people actually use up their space. oh well..

Can we start adding some context to these titles, please?

Also Romania.

I learned programming with Pascal in high school, and it definitely didn't stink. It's way easier than C and lets you focus on the actual programming, not the idiosyncrasies of the language. It's very much like Python in this regard, but I think it's even better as a first languge. It's more explicit and to someone completely new to programming, that really pays off IMO.

Decriminalization isn't legalization. We should be looking at countries where it's entirely legal, prostitutes have guaranteed work conditions etc.

Site crashes both Safari and Chrome on my iPad. What is it about?

This is what the US always did. If a government doesn't play ball with them they try everything to get rid of it. Look at what happened just a couple of months ago in Ukraine: democratically elected president was ousted just because he was becoming too friendly with Putin.
