OK, so it's not just me. I installed 17.04 over Win10 on my desktop a couple weeks ago—my first time making a serious go of Linux on the desktop since whenever Ubuntu wasted a ton of my time with their half-baked PulseAudio "upgra

Eidetic memory and follows you everywhere and can transfer all those memories perfectly to any number of other people? Yeah. It's like super-stalking and it's obviously horrible.

I don't, but I know several teachers, and am married to one. Anecdotes from 3rd-9th grade, all running pretty much like that. I gather some level of this occurs almost daily. Most of them teach in "good" schools, too, so thes

It's also not necessarily anti-market to regulate this sort of thing. Buyers who are confident they're not being screwed and competitors who are prohibited from screwing people are good things, provided you want to provide a pro

Some context that may be relevant. Something like the following is not uncommon, at pretty much any grade level: Teacher T, Student S (not always the same student), Students Ss T: "I've put the exact steps you need to follow on th

If it makes you feel any better, I take care to shit on all of the spy-vertisers whenever possible, and think this kind of massive data collection should be illegal.

We need laws to set standards at whatever the floor of "what a reasonable person would expect you can do" is. Safe, non-paranoid market participation isn't gonna happen otherwise. Outlaw all the spying. Let non-tracking adver

I doubt the typical user of Internet(-enabled) services has any idea how much is recorded about them, or what it's used for. They probably intuitively think that recording and retaining these sorts of things on such a scale and for s

Surely two phone stands would be cheaper. You can even initiate the call with voice if you really don't want to touch anything.

It's about as censorable as bittorrent with magnet links. Which is to say, if you are sharing something that someone with power finds really, really objectionable, they'll have no trouble bringing down the hammer. So yes, totall

We haven't had a problem since we started using parchment paper. My guess is moisture/grease from the pizza was soaking into the stones and weakening them over time.

Better than anything but the fancy, expensive pizza joints around here. 550F max oven. Even bread machine dough pizza comes out pretty damn good. Hard to do worse than major chain pizza, certainly, unless you accidentally leave out crucial

I get ok results even with thin crust at 550F. Baking stone is a must. Cover with parchment paper right before putting the pizza on, optionally (we had issues with our stones cracking before we started doing that). You want a peel. Coarse g

Good ramen—not the stuff from a packet, the real thing—is more like $10-15 here in the low-cost-of-living Midwest.

I agree that a lot of tech companies have a much larger staff than they need (especially the mid sized ones) and I agree that Google in particular seems to suffer from severe mismanagement, but this is kind of the best case when you see

The complexity is mostly from people approaching it from a confusing direction. Some of the naming is confusing ("action", but actually it's an event or message, is the worst one). Somehow everyone comes away from the tutoria

It's lovely how counterintuitive it is that (in this case) "map" reduces state and "reduce" modifies and/or enlarges state.

That, and that the tutorials/beginner-docs don't all start, "look, it's pretty much just two really really simple event dispatchers stuck together, so don't panic" followed by an implementation-focused walkthro

I think you could swing that, you'd just have to dispatch a more complicated "action" (event/message) from the handler and write a master reducer that expects incoming actions (events) to contain their own state-managing

To be fair, you can (and should—I really don't get the appeal of the typically-presented way of using Redux) do things very differently if you like. It's not hard to group actionCreators (actions), actions (events/messages—Re

Note that 30 minutes/day is a much bigger commitment for a parent of young kids than other people. I've run the numbers in posts on here before, but the TL;DR is that you've got ~28 hrs of kid-free (and non-work/commute)

No particular order. I've mostly settled into 2,5,6,7. I can't seem to give up 7 for 1 without hating life, even though going low-sleep sucks a ton. It'd be sweet if we could afford housekeeping to take care of 3, but oh well
