You should really update fast. Windows XP have massive vulnerabilities. It's very risky to use XP every day.

Genuine question: If it's possible to use mini nuclear reactors in satellites then why they just can't land that thing somehow on Mars (like they did with Curiosity) and use it on planet surface to power lab?

Are you still using XP? If yes, can I ask why?

Codeigniter is still great. I was always Symfony guy but last year I've ended up in a company that had software build on CI and I really like it. Of course it's totally different than Symfony but it's simple, allows for a lot

I'm not economist but I suspect that such concentration of tech companies in US is due to the fact that it was their home market from where they started. I think that the question was more along the lines: Is there any example of a com

Lower wages are result or bigger social benefits. As mentioned above, it's less dangerous to go unemployed in EU. It's also harder to be kicked out from your job "just because". Health care probably is one of the best in

In return EU have healthy job market with ~40hr work week and proper healthcare. Most of EU companies are not trying to keep me as developer in a golden cage, offering me everything so I wouldn't have to go home anymore. There are many

I don't understand this push against PHP. PHP is a language that runs under significant part of the internet. Modern PHP is fast and efficient. I don't think it have more problems than so popular recently JS and in many cases, PHP

I don't see the problem. Instead of on/off icon use number of toilets left and you are good. You try to see the problem where there is none. It seems that you are trying to force the office to be "cool" and "hip&quo

It depends on a seller. Some refurbished comes with warranty (Apple is doing that) so this is definitely and advantage. Technically refurbished computer, by definition, should be in a state as close to "new" as it was possible. Th

I am rocking X230 after two years with MBP and it is excellent, but I have soft spot for Thinkpads as my first laptop was good old IBM T23. Great laptops, very well build, supports Linux out of the box and fantastic upgradability. Battery l

I will argue that for most cases (at least mine) 1 USB-C port would be enough. I would just revert back to the way I was using my old Thinkpad T23 back in the days - with docking station. Just use one beefy USB-C hub/dock and Bluetooth

No their not. There is just a lot of buzz around them and ads shouted by big podcasters but they are not so good. They are just re branded Chinese laptops with Linux distros slapped on in. The build quality is poor (plastics, poor touchpads

In Europe full featured apartments under 20m2 (~215 square feet) are pretty standard. I personally know quite a few people that are living in such apartments with kids. 11m2 sounds like standard European bedroom in apartment.

ST3 is not beta anymore. You just call it that but as you said over 90% of user uses ST3 on daily basis. I highly doubt that all of those 90% are beta testers. I would even risk saying that all of those 90% users are using ST3 in production
