Coming: Microsoft's New Mobile Phone Software

I’ve been using git since a year or two after it was released and I’ve never paid any attention to that part of the diff. I could see it that preventing some editing of the wrong method but that is something testing should reveal.

I’m curious if others see some value in it, either before or with changes from this post?

The M5 does a 10.5 1/4 mile, it is a very impressive time for a production vehicle but it's not insane. A lot of production sports bikes are into the 9s.

edit: Actually 10.5 is pretty insane for a production vehicle but we live in a time with a lot of insanely fast and overpowered cars.

FWIW, the tab shows the loading progress in blue, so you're seeing the result of quick page loads. Not arguing your experience, just clarifying what is happening.

You might like the "Light" theme, which I think is available by default. That won't do any rounding for you, however.

I realize sniffing your location in a web page is not anything new, but the way it is used here by adding a leading headline and altering the opening paragraph (those are what I noticed) gives me a vague sense of unease.

If you are trying to match your production platform then you will use a VM of some sort in Linux anyway. If you are not trying to match your production platform then you can develop just fine on OSX.

If you care about isolation and reproduction then you're using a VM anyway and the host OS is completely irrelevant.

(...) most developers setting up vagrant on their Mac just to get a working environment.

What kind of working environment requires setting up Vagrant on OSX? It's a Unix-based OS, if you're doing any web development you can do it on the host system.

I'll sum it up:

    The inaugural “Secret Ops of the CIA” calendar was produced by the nephew
    of an agency contractor killed in the line of duty and features
    reproductions of the actual paintings that have hung for years inside the
    hallways of the CIA headquarters in Northern Virginia.

    (...)

    The calendars are on sale for $28 at the International Spy Museum (...)

    (...)

    Toni Hiley, the longtime CIA museum director, said the gift shop can’t sell
    the calendar because “it’s not an official work of the U.S. government.”

FWIW, if you get linked to a github release page then click on the project name at the top and you will get the main repository view with a short description (above the file list) and the full README below that.

"Steer into the slide" means if your car is rotating clockwise you steer left such that you reduce the friction on the front end (by turning the wheels so they roll instead of slide) and maintain the friction on the back end (given the wheels will not be pointing forward).

(edit: depending on how far you've already rotated, but I'm speaking as if the front of the car is still ahead of the back of the car)
