It is always day somewhere (see this visually specifically to github: http://aasen.in/github_globe/ ). Best do the work when YOUR A-Team is available, awake, and alert. I doubt there is a time when they wouldn't h

Yeah, some of the studies of students checking themselves in and then trying to get out (perfectly sane students) are nightmarish. How do you PROVE you aren't faking "sanity". shiver It gives the people in charge unchecked

It did pain him to fix it. As he said, it was other peoples code that is included (and will be replaced on next pull)... and other parts where even song lyrics (from Monty Python Lumberjack). Changing others people code or song lyrics mak

If you think they are helping the cause, feel free to support them. When the line between legitimate complaints and open insulting mocking is so fuzzy that a developer can't tell the difference and applies that patch out of fear, I th

They wanted song lyrics changed, they wanted libraries that are provided upstream changed (which the author has no control over). Both of those requests are insane.

Really? Gotta be honest, I found it sad. Not on behalf of the troll -- it is a clever sort of social commentary (if it was intentional social commentary). Pointing out with a bright light that we will apply insane patches rather than eve

I have to say, I support this type of thing. It is social commentary in a way. Every patch that gets merged (as this one did) that is absolutely ridiculous shines a bright light on the fact that it isn't the content of the patches th

It is a troll: feministsoftwarefoundation@loves.dicksinmyan.us ( https://github.com/Feminist-Software-Foundation ) ... What is amazingly sad is that an obvious troll was taken seriously. Has the discussion gotten so skewed t

Well -- at the time (way back in 2013, when it was signifigantly more expensive) -- the reviews echoed what I saw -- just Google around for them. Due to the number of reviews matching my personal experience (blown out brightness, bad color

At $500, there are FAR better monitors. Bad contrast, bad brightness, bad everything. If you buy your programmers this, buy them a years supply of pills to deal with the headaches it will induce. Again, this isn't like a "bad fo

I tried calibrated it with both X-Rite and Spyder (both physical calibration devices) -- neither could get it anywhere near "average". It just swings all over the place. Also, calibration can't fix horrible blacks, uneven b

This isn't actually true -- the latency of Thunderbolt is 1.5 microseconds, which means if you are building something (like a video card) with internal latency expectations, they will all fail. If it had internal style latency, there w

It is insane, but it never comes all at once. I have been at a company that had this type of internal insanity, and it is a bit of a "boil the frog" thing. Each individual step seems resonable and sane thing -- but when you look

No. Apple is about margins, deep down in its DNA. It is a fundamental principal. They just -- as always -- are brilliant at marketing. They hid all that delicious markup in Xeon and FirePro brands. They know that FirePros are just (1 or
