Haha, sounds like the process was: "A: do you think it will pass - what if people start going away because of the fees? B: Don't worry, let's try it and we can ask them if it's because of fees if they cancel. If people s

One of the reasons I'm so thrilled with Figma and that it completely covers (and more) what I had to use Sketch for...I'm now seriously entertaining the thought of migrating from Hackintosh (on a laptop) to Linux for my web dev &#

I agree - and with this kind of stuff, somehow we're prone to looking at the government like it's a perfectly running black box, with an all-reaching, all-encompassing power and control over information. But if you look at these p

I agree, but if you read about him a bit "wider", including periods before and some time after he came into power, it does seem like there were some really good things there that he tried to do, both in Libya and broader region (w

The notion of individuals being responsible for exploiting Africa and them being dead meaning the exploitation no longer exists is like saying USA ceased to exist when founding fathers passed away. Newer history of Africa is almost exclusiv

Oof - I left it unfinished for more than a year. Finally got around to picking it up a little, maybe a month ago, and got completely hooked until I finished it + DLCs. It was a true gaming delight - the DLCs are amazing as well, and, as a w

I deeply dislike it as well, but they are a business and it's only normal that they do - I'm pretty sure any for-profit company in the world would want to maximize profits at expense of tax. It's up to lazy politicans collect

Surely risking to sound just like one (not a fan, btw, just watched a couple of videos) but I think his opinion of Apple in terms of hadware quality and attitude towards customers in need of service has more merit than most people's -

I don't think I've read a text that was more empty so far. Several paragraphs of words and almost no information.

Same here - jumped the ship a couple of days ago and thoroughly impressed so far. Plugins system is sorrowly missed at some moments, but should be arriving soon from what I understood. Everything else, including performance (I'm amazed

PHP is not my go-to tool, but - you can do the same with Laravel (or a number of other packages). Also, my rough impression is that number of PHP devs outweighs Rails / Django at least 2 to 1.

Just to add to the pile of anecdotal evidence - same here...I switched to Chrome some years ago when the speed difference was just too much to ignore and switched back to FF a couple of months ago after I started realizing the growing firmn

Why not both - our current "forward" momentum is increasing greenhouse gases and, even if we switch fully to renewables with minimal carbon footprint in a very short time-frame, that momentum will continue to have effects. If we a

It seems like you haven't seen the exact same copied parameter examples? I don't really see how this can be defended as not cloning - it's one thing to use others as "inspiration" and take in some general good ideas

How about no. When I don't have to pay 2x for an Apple laptop, ridden with thermal and keyboard issues and to carry dongles for everything ("but it's so thin!"), I'll be very happy to. Until then, my X1E, which is d

I did find the notions of potentially building "a copy" of it in the article pretty funny. Why would anyone want to do that, when they have their own, quite capable, planes that can get an additional edge from pickings of F-35 tec

Doing my part. I've been an Inbox user ever since it was released, and liked it due to how much simpler it was to keep the inbox clean, and a much improved layout and usability over regular Gmail (centered, cleaner layout, grouping by

I know exactly what you mean - from toggling a mode on a mechanical keyboard I didn't know existed and spent 20min looking for how to turn it off, to managing to delete several Powerpoint slides that were not on the screen at all, so

Agreed - I never could quite understand that argument and what is so intuitive and familiar with native UI controls when looking from perspective of a new app to the user. Depending on the app functionality, achieving good UX could be very

Business can be respectful, honorable and still successful, so that phrase is mostly a lame blanket excuse to not put in effort towards such goals. And, sorry, but it's hard to escape the indicative aspect of liking the oportunity to b

Yeah - when I add to it that, as a non-American, I can (annectodaly) observe a rise in different kinds of news that involve China in a negative context for the last 6m especially, it's hard to form an opinion. In terms of security conc
