   Paint Shop Pro 6 was far better than the version of Photoshop at the time IF you were a Web dev. While Photoshop did a better job of handling really big photos for print, PSP had the best tools for generating web-ready images.

   I was offered a dev job at SparkFun. I really liked the work they offered but the pay was a little low and I got a much better offer from a well-funded project. That well-funded project went bankrupt and SparkFun continued to grow. Sometime

   I live in Seattle. There's a famous story about how we ended up with half of our streets running along one grid that was N,S,E,W and another grid that was aligned with the water front. As they built the city, these two patterns merged

    I'd like to know what you consider to be "unsolvable" problems. While there are other cryptocurrencies solving problems in different ways, none have been around as long as BTC and none have endured the trials that BTC managed

    I don't think it's entirely fair to say that they had to drop down. I suppose that all comes down to what you mean by "acceptable". Personally, I think they chose terminal rendering as something to optimize and I think i

    I'm on Linux, but I actually chose VS Code over Sublime 2 because I switched to an HD display. Sublime 2 does not scale tabs (or at least it didn't when I switched) which drove me nuts. I didn't expect to like VS Code but I d
