It's not entirely irrational though... looking at two identically-specced products I would choose the one with a higher build quality, which is often more expensive. So there is some correlation. Doesn't mean that more expensive always mean

That's great, and I love that Huawei can bring such specs at quite a low price point. But specs aren't everything. How is the UI responsiveness? Does the phone itself feel sturdy? I keep thinking there must be something wrong with it, but

Foul depths of hell? I've never programmed in C or C++, but this seems to me to be a map from strings to vectors of strings. Reads easily. I don't like the :: namespace separator, but what can you do...

We have something similar several places in Norway too, which are triggered by what seems to be motion sensors. Since the actual crosswalk can easily be covered in snow/ice during the darkest parts of the year, usually the crosswalk signs p

No. I'll hold my judgement until I see the new TOS, but what they propose in this blog post is much more reasonable. If the new TOS reflect that, I see little reason to bitch about it.

Well, isn't the scenario you would take issue with exactly what is happening here? From the article: "For example, if [a visitor] went to XYZ.com and filled out a web form and then [the visitor] later visited 42floors.com, [42Floors] would

To add to Breakthrough's answer, the article states: "The patients were repeatedly asked to imagine playing tennis or walking around their home. In healthy volunteers each produces a distinct pattern of activity, in the premotor cortex for

I think the best approach is to integrate tasks like version control across many subjects. For instance, many programming exercises in various subjects taught at my university give the students a basic framework with missing functions, or a

That's because VLC lets you adjust the volume above 100%. Generally not a good idea. If you avoid that, you should be fine. Also worth noting, if you attenuate the signal (in software) from the computer you generally won't attenuate the noi

Well, he does imply that he'll neither leave the Clojure community nor stop blogging, so I'm keeping my hopes up. Besides, whether they are Clojure-related or not, his blog posts are almost always interesting. Best of luck, Fogus!

Same here (used Firefox, switched to Chrome), but I recently switched back. The only reason: I started using Windows on my desktop PC, and the font rendering in Chrome is horrible on Windows. These days Firefox feels just as snappy as Chr

I'm quickly desensitized by video footage or images from war, acts of terrorism and the like. It might just be me, but I find that reading about the atrocities of war is much more effectual. So maybe there is a case for more old-fashioned w

I certainly would be. Reading all these how-to-articles by successful extroverts can be frustrating, since many tips simply would not work for introverts. It's refreshing to see an introvert's take on this.
