Multi-desktop window pinning is a nice addition. I've usually got YouTube or Netflix running on a second monitor, and switching desktops always meant those windows would disappear. Now that I can pin them, virtual desktops will be usab

There's a few thousand in my building, but I very rarely see anyone in a wheelchair or on crutches. But we still have a handicap stall in every bathroom and a ramp for every step.

So it automatically ships the latest versions of e.g. screen and vim, no manual recompiling/installing necessary? That's always been my biggest gripe with other distros, they'd have a version of an app or tool that was built

Personally, I'm glad to see them using GitLab[1]. While GitHub vs GitLab may make fairly little operational difference for most projects, I do think that competition is sorely needed in the Git hosting space right now. https:/&#x

Because that's how 99% of calendars in the US order the days. It's not a choice, it's convention.

1. Not supporting any features that trigger a layout recalculation is a pretty major drawback, I'd say. The complaint I hear most about CSS is that it's actually terrible for layouts, and while flex is a step in the right directio

There are examples of successful freemium models: Warframe and Path of Exile. In those cases, point #1 is mitigated by the customers themselves keeping a very close eye on the game's development. If they feel like the developers cross

The mobile freemium model is exactly why I am so averse to spending money on mobile games. If I could spend $5 for a game and know that it is both worthwhile and fully available, I would do so. Instead, I've become cynical enough that

What was Twitter before? Twitter is where it is today in very large part thanks to the big names that attracted new users. Wherever they choose to go then has the potential to grow in just the same way.

You're discounting the possibility that there's a difference. There's varying levels of harassment, and it should be up to the victim's discretion as to how severely it should be treated. If person A calls person B a jer

I think the solution will lie as much with law enforcement as with the social media platforms. In examples as extreme as yours, they should be treated like any other credible threat and reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency rig
