Much appreciate your input. I noticed the exact same thing, but it also happens when I put my keyboard in the lap. My theory is that it's due to the impact of my fingers on the keys that "tease" the flow to slow down.

I noticed that in long walks in the city my fingers swell up, so it's definitely the blood circulation. Maybe my thin fingers make it worse.

I tried googling for this but got mixed results. Shouldn't the wrists be touching/resting on the desk (the piece of desk between the keyboard and me) or are they suppose to float?

A jack of all trades isn't inherently better at all trades. There's great value to be found in a specialist. And if you're hiring a front-end pay him as such. If you want him to know more than front-end beforehand, pay him ex

This brings up another point in favor of "why not". If existing players who are willing to buy new expansions whenever they are available migrate to vanilla servers, they might as well opt out of buying the expansions, since addin

Hopefully? Sorry for bursting your bubble but Windows 10 is the ONE way to go, from their perspective.

Money talks. Canonical attempted to make bank from their partnership with Amazon, yet people over the web went insane and fought tooth and nail to shift the weight to derivatives, like Xubuntu and Mint. Naturally, this is one of their alter

I did the same a week ago - First tried Mint Rafaela with Cinnamon and this week I got free time to tryout Arch. Turns out their wiki is amazing and with a little google-fu I managed to install GNOME and any other application I might need.

Same here. I decided to stop playing video games cold turkey and what I did was grab an Arch Linux iso and follow the beginner's guide. Much more decent.

Are you saying that listening to what you have to say and writing what you have to say on wikipedia is the same thing?

Could it be because solitude back then was similar to meditation? That you had no interruptions, no internet to make your mind run around like a puppy chasing the next tasty bone, and this in turn made you listen to thoughts and ideas risin

The problem with that is: Once you build this service, how do you give access to the impoverished people? For instance, I would be homeless sleeping on benches if not for my parents and my computer is almost 8 years old, my mobile phone is

This quote reminded me of an anime/manga called Attack on Titan, where it's said that its creator draws inspiration for Titan looks from bullies that had in his school years.

I do this too. Especially if it links to a blog entry that is big. I might even bookmark a thread to check it later in case it's a new thread, just to see if there's going to be an overall positive response down the road.

Your comment really resonated with me. It's like that person who attempts to beat procrastination in order to get things done by... reading books about procrastination. I'll follow your advice.

In which case the fault shifts to media and schools for not explaining how things are. In Linux distribution terms, OP and the public want the stable distribution while in fact due to the nature of the field you can only get rolling updates

Can we stop with this argument? Every time a business makes a business-oriented decision someone will pop out to call them out for being acting for their own benefit, as if it's somehow bad. Like every human exchange, you don't ha
