Reminds me of Verve. I watched the author's channel on Youtube religiously, hugely enjoying his video demos with each new release. Sad to say there hasn't been one in like 2 years. https://www.youtube.com/user&#x2F

First thing I saw when I clicked the link: "This is a maintenance release." Second thing I noticed: "(released 2016-10-18)". It's not new nor noteworthy. :\

I have a Dell XPS13 Developer Edition that came with such a hub (they call it a dock, but you don't dock to it, you plug it in to the charge port with a USB-C cable). It has DVI, USB, Ethernet, and charges the laptop. It's a nice

We pay more than 10 times as much as many countries for healthcare if you're counting only individual expenses. If you're counting both individual and public expense, we still spend almost 10x more than Turkey.

So what you're saying is that a business can not negatively impact the society it exists in in any way, so shut the hell up with your criticism? I'm glad you're here to enhance this conversation.

Coincidentally, I had heard about that just today as well. I understand the site you're reading has to be "compatible" in some way. I guess that just means that the content has to be "easy" to identify and extract p

This was the worst article reading experience I think I've ever had on a desktop. With "related stories" taking up more screen space than the article itself, I'm seeing something like 5-8 words on each line on my 1920x12

Yes. My opinion is that nothing that currently exists really solves the whole problem of information management well (aside from git). Most teams mash together three or four different solutions for strongly related problems. Some teams are

Not to say any country has successfully ended homelessness, but there are at least a dozen successful counterexamples to your claim that those policies would "destroy" economies with taxes. Are you honestly and seriously suggestin

What I really want to know is how they prevent it from getting lit accidentally. I would figure the smallest spark would make it happen.

They were never seen as "having" the presidency. Hillary was seen as "inevitable" in two elections now, and lost the first.

I've dabbled a little bit in Ruby, and I found this to be a much larger problem than it is with Python. Most systems have python 2 and/or python 3. Beyond that, I've rarely need to worry very much about which Python version I
