I find Monthy Python unimaginative and boring. Your comment was hilarious in the context, though.

Didn't you hear though? All successful people read. It's obvious that reading made them successful, not their upbringing or environment. As long as you read as much as possible, does it matter what you read? Be like Bill. Be succe

When Chrome was launched, all you could see when using Google were Chrome ads, and with good reason - success by word of mouth alone can only come if your product is significantly better than the alternatives, which Chrome definitely was no

Thanks for the links, I'll give it a try. Not holding my breath though.

Let me guess, C++ performance (especially when it comes to loading really large projects) decreased again. And it's probably even more sluggish than before. That's been a trend since Visual Studio 6.

When you do it as a day job for prolonged periods of time (where the other people put little to no effort into writing code that doesn't resemble raw encryption), the fascination wears out real fast.

Spot on. Most of the time I can barely stand reading my own code, so how about I take a break and read some barely intelligible code written by someone else, using a different coding style and a different mindset? Wreck my brain trying to f

I just said it would be a reasonable reaction (as in, I would understand someone doing it), not that I would actually do it.

I think a reasonable reaction would be to stand up and slap him around for a good few seconds (10 should do the trick). Then proceed to go to HR to report the guy and threaten with a lawsuit if he's not instantly fired. There you go. A

I have a strong suspicion the so-called tech shortage is just an excuse employers use to justify their own shortcomings. Programmers generally want, in no particular order: - a good work environment - good pay - interesting things to work o

The old Opera rarely had this problem, it would usually cache the input text. So if you accidentally went 'backspace' or closed the tab entirely you could easily recover your data in most scenarios. One could argue it's the u

Sorry, this turned into a typical 90s flame war. I think you have a valid point that Vivaldi should provide options despite what you and I might think are the correct defaults.

Probably just a coincidence (in my case it might be related to how 14 used to be a common font size in my documents). On my current monitor (2560x1600) the value is more like 25-30 pixels.

All disagreements aside, I would really like understand why you feel "open in new tab" should not focus the new tab (apart from habit). In my experience Chrome users click "open in new tab" and then click the newly opene

Browsers are slow because objective metrics of quality (e.g. performance, usability) are irrelevant to the common user, despite what individuals may claim. People are very susceptible to branding and growing trends, and it's a hard pil
