I agree. I've messed around with Arch Linux quite a bit and I like their model, but whenever I need something that just works I find myself reaching for Debian.

I may have spoke too soon. Yesterday I downloaded the latest iOS Public Beta (#3), and holy moly is it awesome! Super speedy, all the animations and transitions are zippy, and runs like a champ. Still cautiously optimistic about macOS Sierr

I am using the public macOS and iOS betas. They are buggy. Do not enroll in the macOS beta if you have your user account login linked to iCloud, as there have been documented problems with this. My wife still can't get in to her accoun

I played a bunch of old NES games on an emulator in the early '00s. Two things stood out: (1) the graphics really were pretty lame, and (2) games I was addicted to as a kid seemed a lot more tedious as an adult. Not saying the classics

My first Kindle was the 2nd gen one, right after they dropped the price to $359 (from its original $399 debut price). Hard to believe I happily paid $359 for my first one, but $289 looks outrageous for the latest model. The Oasis looks awe

The long life of the Kindle battery sometimes comes back to bite me. I'm terrible about remembering to bring a charging cable with me when I travel, and when I do get the low battery warning it's usually three minutes after I sit

There are a few different ways in which the public education system doesn't work for people. Some students want to learn but don't do well in the "system" of public education. This is a pedagogy issue; we're not tea

Yes and yes. You interpreted it correctly, and that is a common way to phrase such discounts in the U.S.

Outlook 2016? It's a huge improvement over previous Outlook iterations for OS X.

I've found that if you already have your phone in your hand, using Apple Pay is quicker than getting your wallet out. If you need to fish your phone out of one pocket, it's probably just as easy to fish your wallet out of another.

No, I'm (foolishly) responding to an Onion article of all things. The claim is being made that the U.S. is the only place where mass killings with firearms happen. I'm merely stating this isn't true.

What's wrong with this? Being completely serious here, what is wrong with citizens owning firearms? I am all about reducing gun violence, but if you want to do that you have to do something to stem the tide of illegally acquired handgu

Reddit can be a huge time waster if you let it be. I am subscribed to a bunch of niche subreddits specific to my interests, and I cruise it a couple times a day. The benefit to less popular subreddits is that you don't need to check th

You can also get them at microsoftstore.com. Signature Edition PCs are a great idea. Microsoft should have been doing that all along.

Get off the internet and spend some time outdoors. It's so easy to sit in a little digital universe that you are in the center of. You have to consciously move yourself out of that comfort zone. Ride public transportation and strike up

This is a great article that celebrates the best of the U.S. as a "melting pot". So many of these sandwiches are a mishmash of the cultures from all over the world that influenced them. Also, this article made me pine for a good J

This is what I assumed. They're biased towards younger programmers with no life circumstances that would cause them to need a higher salary (e.g., kids).

All these people hate Facebook, but they still use Facebook. How many of those one-star reviews were written by people who still launch the app 20 times a day? What incentive does Facebook really have to change their QA practices?

Most companies (the ones who lease space, anyway) are at the mercy of the commercial real estate agencies they rent from. They don't always have the money to raze the whole space they rent and build a developer's utopia in its pla

If those office layouts don't appeal to you, it's because those companies don't want to recruit you. Deep-pocketed companies like Facebook (who surely have enough money to build any kind of office space) choose to build open

As with many things, it sounds flowery and perfect but the implementation would be a disaster. - You have to build/renovate schools. That alone on a national scale is almost unworkable. In more densely populated areas there simply migh

I can't help but think there's a Submarine[1] effect going on with reporting on public schools in the U.S. The U.S. is a huge country with a heterogeneous population spanning a wide swath of the socioeconomic continuum. To say &qu

tl;dr - Yes. I worked at one company for a long time (10+ years). There was something about it that really bothered me, and it took me a long time to be able to articulate it. The way I eventually phrased it: You are what you were hired to

Admittedly I have not run the numbers, but I suspect the amount of tax revenue you would have to raise is in excess of what is practical to glean from income taxes alone. People who earn money want to keep their money. In the U.S. we have a

The question becomes: how do you provide those minimums in a scalable and affordable way? Taxes of course, but who do you tax? Not the people making the minimum.

Sure. But he's talking about "the history of humanity", and I'm certain you can show that women, even Caucasian ones, are hardly the most mollycoddled. The hyperbole undercuts his argument. And he wonders why people get
