at the uniqlo, i may try going to their jeans section, but nothing fits me, nothing

you don't get your pants fitted at uniqlo? it's free and only takes 30 minutes or so.

freenode in general isn't a very friendly place :/

that said, i think #clojure and #reactjs are fairly friendly and helpful to questions, even the most basic ones.

I paid the $5 because the sales pitch is so convincing -- "for the price of a burrito, you can get a job" (and so I did pay for this and I did get a new job!)

edit: back when I used this in Feb, I constantly got logged out and had to log back (was using G+ logins). Did this get fixed?

i find that there are at least a couple dozen issues/defects that haven't been addressed, and it doesn't seem like they're going to be

been looking into this recently. it seems like a lot of the bindings haven't been maintained in 2+ years, but the pure java implementation JeroMQ is very active and convenient to use (https://github.com/zeromq/jeromq)

the name reminds me of jero, the american-born enka singer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba9rKhVAz80)

i'm not entirely sure if i personally could come up with a good usage for zmq though, unless i were going through tons of data from sources like social media or scientific experimentation

under the section "PC Settings" seems to a description for being able to actually use the settings screen in your start menu that will reflect between your start menu and desktop? i've been waiting for this... my start menu will be in japanese even though i set my default keyboard to english and try to set all the language settings to english, so that i'm stuck with a stupid half english/japanese environment. even now, sometimes it's a toss-up whether or not i get english or japanese labels for start menu apps like Skype and my weather and mail apps seem to be permanently named 天気 and メール. i can't even search those using hiragana or romanized phonetics, ugh. maybe this wouldn't be a problem if i weren't practically illiterate.

also, if i ever log in to windows 8 without waiting something like a minute, i always get boxes from something not working right when in some of the start menu screens and when trying to type things in with any IME. see: http://i.imgur.com/78SNnpB.png

sorry that my post turned into one big complaint. hopefully someone will show me some very simple fixes to my problems!

A new Gmail inbox 13 years ago

I prefer shift+C since it makes Chrome pop up a separate window (I like alt-tabbing to reference when writing e-mails... maybe that's just me)

Meet Runscope 13 years ago

maybe i'm the only person who would complain about this, but is that a 588KB GIF? sometimes my home internet gets so bad i get 10KB/s[1], and i live in america...

[1] even when nobody else is using it

in my case i still have dislikes in my videos, but i'm subscribed to videos with very low viewcounts anyways (a week-old video will only get 200-800 views in most of the videos in my subs)

yeah, i was just wondering why the author kind of explicitly recommended against using white space when most parsers (including MS excel in my experience) handle white space encapsulated in quotes just fine

Maybe it's a naive question, but why shouldn't you use quotes to encapsulate things that are meant to be text so that you can catch things like white space?

Also that do people use formats other than comma and tab delimited?

My own experience with CSV is dealing with my own data and instrument readouts (which are mostly always tab delimited with a header section) so I don't know.

GNOME 3.8 Released 13 years ago

people are often rosy-eyed about things they used first/most so they often think things are nicer than they really are.

i remember for the longest time i thought my time with dwm were some of the nicest and yearned for tiling wm's in windows, but after trying it again i'm really glad i switched to win vista/7.

Tampermonkey felt really clunky and just randomly didn't trigger my scripts. Also it was ugly.

Good on the guys who develop it though. I really didn't see any feasible alternatives for userscript management.

I switched from Chrome to Firefox... tab groups, the extensions available, and actually being able to save and sync my search keywords across computers (instead of being stuck with a 2 yr old settings) are some big features for me.

Oh, also that Greasemonkey itself is very easy to use.

I might consider trying out Opera again in the future, since its mouse gestures are very responsive and the interface looks nice (to me). However, lots of web pages didn't render properly for me the last time I used it (3+ yrs ago)

PyQuery seems to always be faster in my experience than BS4 (for ripping the same information). Anyone else have a similar experience?

"Most of us are indie programmers"

I would think most career programmers work for corporate entities, but neither I nor the author have any statistical evidence presented.

Sorry, I tend to be lazy and just group the whole Ubuntu environment UX as "Unity"

I do own an iPad and Mac Mini that I received as gifts, but I find them pretty unbearable to use outside of specific tasks (i.e. watching Youtube videos).

There is some OSX software that I like, such as Adium, SublimeText, and the default screencap tool, but I find the environment kind of annoying to work with and have a much easier time with Windows 7/8.

Overall, I give up just too much convenience and software (like MPC-HC, video games, driver support for appliances and game controllers, easy win-key + P,arrow keys,D,E,R,C,X) to be able to switch to OSX. Also that I value being able to swap out hardware and paying less for hardware in general (even if Macs often have sleek cases).

"I bet this article about how awful Unity is"

Yep.

Does Unity make me want to buy hardware that's hard to upgrade (save for buying a whole new machine) and make me want to abandon a host of software that I use regularly?

Nope.

edit: I very much enjoy using some proprietary software though. Windows 8, SublimeText, etc. If people want that kind of proprietary support for their Linux-like environment, it certainly seems like OSX is the only real solution atm, especially for people who can't be bothered to go do everything themselves (like me).

I know some people might brand people who pay for software as "casual scum" and whatnot, but I'm willing to trade my money for time and ease of use. I didn't mean to be a dick to the OP and certainly can understand why he would move away from a platform.

However, not going to Debian/Mint/any other alternative and just choosing to dump thousands of dollars for a new environment is something I would not do personally.

I personally haven't found any WYSIWYG equation editors that are nearly as fast, easy to edit, and good looking at the built-in MathType/MS Word equation editor.

If anyone has suggestions for LO plug-ins or other free software, let me know.
