To be clear, it doesn't support casting, which is what the previous commenter was asking for. It runs directly on android tv. The app even says that there is no support for phones or tablets so casting isn't going to work. I also

I've been very underwhelmed by the adaptive cruise control in my car as well. It was one of the features I was looking forward to the most, but in practice now I rarely use it. I'm also located in the pacific northwest, so I don&#

In my experience the problem is that when written as you describe them - user stories represent features and are rarely, if ever, granular enough that they represent a "thin vertical slice" of functionality - as scrum likes to cal

Yep, this is what got me hooked as well. I've also played using a PS4 controller using my laptop, and phone. I don't think the PS4 controller would work playing from the Chromecast though.

Stadia, the initial reviews were actually pretty bad, but I'm blown away by how good it is. There's something undeniably cool about playing cyberpunk on a macbook air with full graphical detail, and then switching over to play on

I personally love vim, and have found that setting up vim keybindings for my IDE seems like the best of all worlds. I do appreciate the consistency and speed of plain vim, however I can't fathom trading that for code completion, which

This is a really good point. I would consider myself pro-union, but after considering what you just posted, I think you're right. Thank you for the insightful comment, I feel like this may actually change some of my own opinions.

The SkyTrain is a great example of how easily transportation technology infrastructure fails during even slightly unexpected circumstances. The trains were inoperable for multiple times this past week, for hours at a time due to snow storms

Does anyone else find Qt difficult to setup/compile and find the qtmoc hoops that are necessary really frustrating when it comes to compiling projects in a non standard way?

I also really enjoy board spots in general, and I find there seems to be something unique about them that attracts introverts like myself, even though snowboard/board-sport culture can sometimes be a bit "bro-ey". I often fin

I would be curious to know more about how you are doing this. Maybe Microsoft fixed this since I last used WSL, but if they didn't then you may be sitting on a ticking time bomb, see: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/c

WSL is a great idea and I think Microsoft is onto something super cool with WSL, but after a week of serious use I found that it was not a viable replacement for cygwin. The major problem with WSL right now is that you can't effectivel

I want to point out that this actually makes a great interview question. I've had really good results asking this. I find it's a great question, because it allows the candidate to show off their knowledge, and use some knowledge t

Second this suggestion. As others have noted his books probably aren't going to win any literary awards, but they are fun entertaining reads. There are some similarities in subject matter to some of Dan Brown's books, but Russinov

It sounds like your main concern is preserving the native look and feel of the OS. I understand the argument, but I don't really understand the reasoning behind it. This is probably me being naive, but (assuming any performance problem

I really like where the author went with this. Everytime I read something like this though I can't help but think how we as developers really need a better low level, UI framework for cross platform applications. What the author has do

Im sure you could save 50% of your after tax income, but I'm incredibly skeptical that you could do so while maintaining the same standard of living as the average plumber. Regarding programmers doing remote work they are the exception

The problem with those statistics is that they don't account for location. Software developers may indeed make more salary than the average plumber, but to do so they're mostly required to live in a tech hub, with a high cost of l

I agree with what you're saying, but I also wonder, if not agile, then what do you see as a better alternative? It sounds like you're suggesting that Agile methodologies have flaws that allow projects to be easily sabotaged. While

I'll second this, and also note that it probably make a good read for those who suggested reading Marshall Mcluhan (who the author references heavily). Overall I enjoyed it, even though there were parts that I couldn't agree with.

QML is awesome, and I'm a huge fan of it - and for that matter declarative GUIs in general. However the QML-go project, while promising, is definitely not production ready. Their github page contains a large bold header that says: &quo
