Yeah it's my favourite for sure. I guess depending on how game of thrones ends, it may be a high contender. Breaking bad was amazing too, but the wire just felt so real.

Censoring is quite a bit different from being jailed or fined.

> - Extremely ungraceful handling of spotty cell coverage. Playback will abruptly stop to buffer, but the UI gives absolutely no feedback. The play/pause button just behaves as if I told it to stop, and is unresponsive to my input.

I found the getting started with redux to be interesting once I already knew it. But when I was a newbie, I just found it to be confusing.

They mentioned in the announcement that it supports the Pen. So yes it's touch.

I enjoyed the communities it had for a while. Some cool developer chats I was able to read, though after a bit I kinda stopped checking in.

Speeding up development cycle is not the only goal. Its not a good thing when it causes the user experience of the application to be worse. I think SPAs have come a long way in this regard, but it was definitely quite rocky for a while.

I think you're over simplifying the gradle solution though. I know when I did java in school, it was not easy. There was a fair bit of configuration. Getting glassfish or tomcat to work with eclipse was a challenge. Gradle has definite

I'm a dev and I enjoy it. Though it kinda sucks when I can't connect to an external monitor at home, have yet to buy any dongles for that. I'm kinda curious who finds themselves needing more memory, and for what purpose. No d

What other services do you use? I paid for prime, so i've watched some stuff on prime video, but there's really not much on there. Netflix is pretty much my only option for most TV shows. Worth noting I'm in Canada.

I haven't seen much on it. Doesn't mean solutions don't exist, but I regularly read updates on reddit and what people are working on, and I haven't seen much there. I feel like Swift is more likely to fill that role by c

Yep, this is a good mentality to have. I applied to a job after graduating from college that asked for 2-5+ years of experience. I was able to cite some project experience from school and from a 4 month co-op. Was enough to get an interview

If I can ask you, what do you find the benefit is of teaching this as a standard curriculum? It makes sense to me for people wanting to get into development or IT. But not everyone is going into tech, and may not benefit from it. Most non t

I'm not sure if that's something people should have to learn though. For example, not everyone knows how the engine of a car works, and that's okay. For using computers, I feel like getting comfortable with a phone or tablet

Ah sorry, your point went over my head then clearly :). Yep, I prefer to try and dig into someones argument.

I get that argument, but I see people of different minorities who just simply don't want to work with them, because the trump supporters put the grossness and sexism aside. They want to fix the voter surpression, and better encourage p

You are generalizing a number of points that he never spoke about though. I think those things about Islam are terrible, and would never defend it. Nor do I defend the stupidity that is christianity. But I also recognize people of the same

That doesn't mean their isn't good reason. I guess they believe they can build a better product by having control over the graphics pipeline. Obviously I cannot say for sure what they think in that regard, but neither can you.

Ive found Atom to be better in terms of having the lint as you go. RustyCode is pretty good though otherwise :). I'm interested to see where the debugging goes with it as well.

Mhmm. Really with all those things, i'd give it a serious try for my game development side projects. Currently using html5 for some, libgdx (java) for others.

Yeah pretty much since android studio replaced eclipse, things got better on the android side. Though I still find android a pain from an ecosystem perspective. Haven't done a lot of straight up native apps, but I use the tools for rea

Most large product companies are going to be met with some people not liking the choices, or some backlash. You make it sound like all their products receive 2/10 across the board or something, when that's simply not true. One can
