   The difference is game developers generally don't care about the small Mac market and have no problem leaving it behind, that's not true for web where ios makes up a decent chunk of traffic.

   I'm a fan of echo, especially for loops: for i in some/files/*; do echo mkdir -p ${i%%.*}; echo mv "${i}" "${i%%.*}/${i}"; done That way I can see what it's gonna evaluate to first.

   I also made a similar service, mostly for my own needs so it's kinda spartan, I find it convenient for grabbing stuff off my clipboard and screenshots/captures: http://paste.click/ It has a rudimentary android app

   I'm one of those strange people that finds mac touchpads maddeningly annoying. I used to carry a mouse with me when I had a macbook for work. So non-crap is the opposite direction from that for me. But hey, to each their own. That&#x27

   As good or bad as you want it to be. Arch doesn't have any default gui or desktop environment, so it really depends on what window manager / desktop environment you run. Gnome3 and kde5 are both pretty good out of the box with hid

   I haven't seen a non-crap touchpad that didn't have buttons, likely because my definition of crap is different than yours and includes massive surfaces that feel awful and get in the way of using the keyboard, and hoping the prope

   That's a bit misleading though, since above F350 isn't really considered "consumer" level but commercial work trucks. If you want a big truck while still technically being a pickup, you might as well go for the F750: ht

   Yeah there are definitely use cases where UDP makes sense and they're far from rare, but that doesn't mean TCP should be thrown out since there are still many cases where a reliable connection based protocol is better.

    I use sftp/scp constantly, but I'm not sure how is an ASCII mode needed/important for that.

    I've talked to people that earnestly hold this view and want everything to be on top of udp.

    Out of curiosity, why did sftp need ascii mode? I'm drawing a blank trying to think of why sftp would need it.

    And in 20-30 years we'll likely be saying the same about UTF-8. I figured that "ANSI" would give away that I wasn't being serious since it's not actually an encoding.

    ANSI must be the default and only encoding. Why does anything else still exist?

    There's a program called gucharmap which does similar on linux, hotkeys probably vary though. http://paste.click/MYRVrF

    Sure, but 'habit forming' is a lower bar to cross than either.

    Yeah, this is "serverless" in the same way a shared php+apache hosting account is serverless. It's just using servers and services that someone else manages.

    The info might be useful to someone, but not to the people who are buying vulnerabilities on the black market. Imagine going to a tech trade show and setting up a stand for your lumber business. What you're selling has value and is use

    Wouldn't the withdrawls qualify them as habit forming? Calling them extremely addicting would probably be inaccurate, but "There's a good chance you'll feel awful if you stop taking this" seems like it may encourage

    Yeah, the bloatloads of javascript are probably the worst offenders of ignoring performance of software other people have to run, sometimes even reimplementing features the browser already has, just slower and worse (Listen Zendesk, my brow

    Both chrome and firefox lag all over the place on a modern quad core box with 16GB of ram and hardware accelerated rendering on a 8GB r290. Most software might not be speed critical , but those few milliseconds not saved add up quickly, a

    While I'm a fan of Go, I don't see it as a low level language. I suppose in terms of language features you could argue that simple/small is low level, but from a machine point of view, I feel like anything that doesn't l

    Payday type loan at 300% APR maybe? Though generally you have to pay those back within a week or so afaik, so you don't actually pay 300%
