A brief explanation of what some of these are doing, or moreover, a use case for why I would want to use them would be handy.

You have the right to say anything you want, you do not have the right to say it in my home. I don't understand how there are so many people that don't understand FOS.

If programming is poetry, then I write limericks for a living.

Currently using atom and it's package system for a POC for a custom dumbed down editor. I'm really surprised at how much I've managed to accomplish in a week. If we go through with the project, it'll be a joy to work o

I don't have an active social media presence attached to my real name because I like my privacy. To imply that makes me lacking, is simply ignorant.

No, you're perfectly capable of eating people. Assuming they didn't contain poisons of pathogens that can resist cooking temperatures.

Nothing stops Ontario from buying from B.C. or other existing culrivators of medical marijuana. Scaling these operations, and looking to Colorado as a model, will take a year or so to be sure. I suspect we should have legal weed in 18-24

International legal council, lawsuits, fines, and the free fares offered in some areas probably eat into the runway quite quickly.

I wouldn't recommend linux if your parents keep getting malware. Wipe the PC, and set yourself up as the admin. Create a base user account for your parents, and RDP in to their machine to install programs for them. Or get them to us

And it should. Seriously, there are are less than 2% of users using Linux on the Desktop. Now a fraction of these users dual boot. Microsoft is a business, and it's bad business to spend money you could be using to make your product

In order to be accepted as anything other than an anecdote, you would require a much more rigorous study with a LOT more people and a much higher level of scrutiny. We would want to control for external issues, possibly genetic complicatio

Hardly, just because alcohol is socially accepted doesn't mean it's not a drug. Alcohol and heroine are considered the most harmful drugs out there. It's an apt comparison.

I'd suggest a conflict of interest makes his results suspect.

That's ridiculous. I hope we smarten up as a society soon.

Then don't read it, don't up vote it, and move on. You aren't adding to the conversation.

Just curious, possession of what? And how much?

I'm just curious, have we had an instance where a quadcopter has caused the crash of a commercial aircraft? I've seen birds filleted by tiny copters, and I can't help but feel this is more fear than anything. But I honestly

I wouldn't recommend this. I have over 15 years as lead dev experience, and this isn't good advice. This tells your team that your time is more valuable than their contribution. No matter how good you are, you can't do as

It is indeed irony. "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result." I find it ironic that you didn't bother to check what irony means before becoming an

I don't know enough about American law to understand this comment. Is there something in the constitution about fizzy beverages not being taxable? That seems unlikely, though very forward thinking for the founding fathers.

Yea, I totally agree. My Commodore 64 didn't even know what to do with the game. Pretty sad indeed. I don't understand why developers choose to go after markets of majority, rather than developing in accordance to what my machi

Yea, it forces you to use the vim bindings. This is advantageous, since your hands don't leave the home row. It seems minor, but when you actually "get" vim, you'll actually see speed improvements. It sounds silly, th

I agree. If you're on Mac, the tool Seil will allow you to map Caps to Esc. And I use SharpKeys when on Windows. The downside however is when you're stuck using someone else's computer or don't have root on Mac and Win

My commute in is about 40 minutes by car and 80 by bus with walking from the stop. Double that for the return trip, and my bus commute is almost 3 hours out of my day. And the bus pass costs $130. So it's not even saving me a lot of

I was just speaking to one of my devs about this today. Steve Jobs' turned Apple around by removing choice. You had a Consumer and Pro category and they each had a laptop and a desktop. The new Apple is slowly drifting into Dell ter
