   This is a very powerful point. The proliferation and ease of access to media has made it orders of magnitude easier to compare oneself against others. And it's not the "average" that make it into the media (usually) but the r

   This is great stuff. Beats scrolling and greping through their endless documentation.

   What's the state of Laravel right now? Is it gaining adoption? Pre 2015, I rolled my own PHP framework. I eventually decided I should take the time to learn a modern framework and narrowed my choices down to Django & Laravel. Ended

   I made the switch to linux in 2005. There's always been two tools I've sorely missed since that transition: excel and visual studio. Glad to see the latter finally come.

   I'll tip when driver went up and beyond what I was expecting (helping me load and unload furniture, stopping at a point not on the lyft line route, etc).

   Though I'm glad ORMs caught on too, preventing injections is covered in almost newbie tutorial when dealing with SQL.

   I hear you but aren't carriers competing to fix this? I imagine coverage is only going to increase over time.

    I'm working with the PayPal API right now (send your condolences) and all their documentation is in the form of CURL requests. Just finished converting it to python requests commands and now this gets posted. TIL'd.

    Couple thoughts coming from a late 80s baby raised in the burbs: * Cars are a symbol of freedom. You don't have to ask mom or dad to drop you off at the movie theaters. You can actually do things after school with your friends rather t

    I made a new years resolution to run one mile every day. It's very quick (~10 minutes), it jump starts the day, and it keeps me active. Not counting sick days, I've missed two days thus far.

    Glad I'm not the only one who does that. I've found stairs (to first class) to be helpful for incline based exercises.

    This is impressive. It found everything I tried. If the author is reading, showing GIFs or a small video clip instead of a static image would be preferable. My favorite Simpsons quote: https://frinkiac.com/?p=caption&q=u

    Technically they're not but they afford the same level of prestige and access that an Ivy League does. So maxxxxx's point still stands.

    In the earlier days of mainstream desktop linux (~2005), video codecs were a complete shitshow. VLC was a godsend during those times - it just worked. Still the first thing I apt-get after a fresh install. If you're reading this team V

    Boredom is definitely part of it. This theme gets touched upon in the documentary Oxyana ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2473486/ ).

    Could you briefly go into why you moved to SE asia from america?

    False. Technology can proceed with privacy in mind. The Echo didn't have to push things to the cloud. It was, however, constructed to do so both for Amazon's benefit (data) and the consumer's benefit (ease of setup and use).

    Question from a newcomer here - why does one have to live in San Francisco? I moved to bay area three weeks ago. I live in Walnut Creek which is the boonies to everyone here in SF but 1) it's affordable, 2) it's safe, and 3) it&

    Ah, the good old CMoy. Built one of these in 2005 right as I started college. Didn't know a damn thing about soldering and circuits, just kind of followed along. Building it was my point of entry into hardware and eventually embedded s

    That's interesting - I'm the exact opposite. I figure there's such an enormous amount of content out there and I don't know where to start. So I'll see what's out there and cross their RT & IMDB ratings. If

    Yeah! Excellent points about those details. My not very artistic mind missed them altogether. But like you hint at, that could be a good thing when the art here serves more as a medium than the end product. TheSkimm is solving a really inte
