I just meant one-upping the absurdity of his story, not like his internet points or whatever it is you think I meant. His wife got charged more for asking a doctor a single question. I got charged more for a doctor asking me a question.

I can one-up you: I had a doctor start up a conversation about going to the same college I did, which put the physical at just over 15m instead of just under, which doubled the bill. I don't think the doctor was maliciously driving up

I don't have that problem with Office 2016 and Windows 10. Some old corners of Windows (e.g. Device Manager) are blurry and poorly scaled but that's about it. I never hit any real issues with my 4K monitor or its 1080p sidekick th

Define subsidized. You had to get a two year contract. You couldn't walk into the Apple Store and buy an unlocked iPhone. AT&T may not have been handing Apple cash as part of the deal, but the contract made it more expensive than t

If you have a Microsoft Store and Apple Store nearby, just go check them out in person and decide for yourself. I have both and prefer the XPS 13 hardware, mainly the high resolution display with almost no bezel, but both are great.

I've ridden cabs in both Boston and Cambridge probably about 30 times over many years and every single experience was totally fucking horrible in lots of different, equally hilarious ways.

It depends on what has to wait for the IO to complete. ETW, for example, is a Windows-wide event framework and it would be untenable for everything using it to wait on the file IO of everything else making use of it. So, it has a solution t

This is basically how Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) solves the problem very efficiently. It uses InterlockedIncrement() to quickly and with minimal contention have something to merge all the records at the end. If you're on Windows y

I just recently started learning Python for the first time, and at some point I switched from playing with 2.7 to 3.x, and my uninformed opinion is that I'm shocked at how many seemingly completely unnecessary breaking changes there ar

6 months ago I bought 6 of these off ebay for ~$300 and a cheap 3x2 monitor stand. It's a pretty awesome, if tenuous, setup.

Sooo that's like, an npm design flaw then? If you don't specify the engine field, someone using an older version of node will just get incorrect failures and think your package is broken. I'd rather specify the engine and g

That probably won't work when you switch from Babel=>ES5 to Babel=>ES6 ( http://www.2ality.com/2015/07/es6-module-exports.html?m=1 ) as ES6 bindings are immutable bindings to the actual values in the modu

No this is pretty wrong. They are both built on Electron which is just the window shell hosted in Chrome. The actual text editors are completely different code bases that have nothing to do with each other. The better analogy would be t

This is a common misconception. Electron is a really tiny slice of these two text editors. Atom and VS Code are text editors and they have completely different code bases for the text editing, so there isn't anything that can be moved

Debuggers are very powerful tools and if they're worth anything, they'll have a learning curve. For example: - When debugging multi-threaded code, you can test interlace events by manually pausing executing of certain threads at c

Regarding the unsoundness-by-default, I wish "--no-implicit-any" was the default but it's really no big thing to just add this flag to any project.
