   My friends and I were looking for a free solution. We tried WhatsApp for a bit but eventually stuck with Discord despite the quality because it allows us to just hop on and off arbitrarily. Nobody has to set up calls with the exact particip

   I wanted to use just Wine but then ended up rigging a VM. Just more steps. I'm lazy.

   This makes me think "beef" is hardwired into us. I read an article somewhere about how Neanderthals were individually stronger in small numbers susceptible to getting taken over by homo sapiens because the former were more indepen

   * the native bookmarks management system in Google Chrome * random items in Google Keep * Instapaper * Pocket I am not proud of this. The last time I felt under control is when I used del.icio.us.

   To me, in IoB culture nobody ever gives in. In other cultures where there is meaningful conflict, there are concessions.

    I thought it was very clever and got my brain to try to stretch to figure out what he was saying. This beats a lot of the content out there that's dumbed down.

    Sometimes I love arguing just to argue. I wonder how many other people there are like me?

    When I went to church as a kid I don't remember being anywhere this much beef between the religious vs non-religious. It's way worse. It's not just politics, it's sports, sexual orientation, gaming, and many more domain

    Stack Overflow was and is still useful. I will say that it's becoming less relevant over time for me. When I used Google to find answers to questions, other sources of answers are popping up now. I tried contributing but it seems like

    Two things stood out to me: I really liked Sunrise and nothing seems to have done a good replacement of it. The other thing is that I really miss the Windows 95-style UIs for some reason. The UIs were generally responsive and the tooltips

    Someone is still making comics out of them: https://www.bonequest.com/ . Very NSFW. I remember reading these in college and shocked it's still around.

    I think they should provide an option to perhaps pay them directly to opt-out of ads. If you choose not to pay but still use their service for free then they must do what they must to monetize.

    If you have to teach programming I would consider focusing on a 3GL (like BASIC) instead of a 4GL (like Java).

    I'm not a JS expert but the code was an interesting read. Are there other free sports API's out there? The MLB one is cool.

    For all of the good points made in the article, the suggested fix is very weak. I am not a fan of performance management as described in the article. You end up sacrificing teamwork. Depending on how much money is at stake you will see all

    I used the Montreal Metro a few years ago and they were automated and didn't use the doors. Are they coming eventually or are they being rolled out in phases?

    I've done this in various forms and I think this is one of the best methods to get better at public speaking. I recommend at least dropping in on a meeting to see how they're run. You'll be very impressed at how organized th

    I'm not defending those types of interviews, because I'm not great at them, but it seems that they're looking for human algorithm machines. People who can go in and write very specific performant code. Maybe that's the

    Yep, in the state of VA you go to community college for 2 years and then can transfer to any 4-year school in the state. An amazing deal.

    This article always makes me sad. These dogs have an affinity for and trust their humans only to be sent off and get exploded, crashed onto the surface of the Earth, or starved of oxygen. I can't imagine what's going through thei
