Agreed. I don't mind the requirement of root, just as I'm glad my desktop has a root account that's not the default account. That said, the effort required to obtain root on my own device is silly. It should simply be a sw

This has been my issue from the start. I generally feel like I've missed a boat I certainly could have gotten on to early enough, But it's so terribly wasteful, I have a hard time supporting the thing at all. Admittedly I don&#

After 22 years as a smoker, I was at a point where I didn't really like smoking anymore. I knew I was addicted, and I smoked plenty, but I didn't enjoy it. So, after getting a stomach bug during a visit to Mexico where smoking w

I quit smoking 4 years ago. I still go on smoke breaks, without the cigarette. If I'm at a bar / restaurant, I'll hang around with the smokers - who never care if I'm actually smoking. At home, I'll go sit outsid

I can imagine something like a code-collapse indicator next to every method in a class (or function or code block, whatever), which would expand tests that can be run on-the-fly - even while you type. Kind of like how comments can be colla

I don't love kibana, but with the ease of dumping structured logs from rsyslog to elasticsearch, it's hard not to use it. I hadn't heard of SuperSet[1] until this post. Seems pretty interesting. Looks like there's pote

I knew I smelled, but I didn't know what I smelled like or how strong it was. If I hadn't smoked in a day or so, I could smell other smokers, but only to trigger a craving and nowhere near as strongly as now. Almost all the adul

I don't like the smell of smokers or perfumes (of any sort), personally. No migraines or allergies or hypocrisy; I just think they all stink. I don't even like scented shampoo. My favorite deodorant now has an "Invisible&

I did the same thing when I moved to NY in 1999. I don't think I could have afforded to replace a whole living room at the time, even at IKEA rates (my job paid for the UHaul). That furniture lasted one more move, from Staten Island t

I switched to vaping about 4 years ago. Even on nights that I forget to charge and thus end up with a dead battery, I still go outside and hang with the smokers every so often. I still appreciate the reset from the conversation at whatever

My first major development project was an intranet I wrote in Cold Fusion 4. I was an on-site support tech for a software company who wrote software for tracking market data for trading companies around Wall Street. The company used a huge

JSX is more like Cold Fusion, I think.

Pretty infuriating on the desktop as well. I scrolled down for an example, saw the screenshot of tiny text and assumed that either I've gone blind or that screenshot is shit; I'm going with the latter. Maybe it looks better on a

I honestly have this experience with plain Ubuntu, provided I wait at least a month to upgrade (my triple-monitor setup does not play well with brand new releases, but does fine soon after). I have it running on two laptops (which I never h

This looks great! I hope they can build what they're pitching. I look forward to buying one of these (or something like it) should it ever make it to market.

I would look forward to the headline where the police had to tickle the accused in order to get access to his phone against his will.

This is how I see it as well. It would also likely get rid of comments / ratings like "I would give this 0 stars if I could". I think the numbering you mention is just as essential (especially 0). The way I generally rate t

When my wife and I first started dating, I had to nudge her out of the habit. She wouldn't sit through a whole meal staring at her phone, but if she looked something up that had to do with our conversation, she'd then end up swip

I really appreciate the S8. Also, Samsung has some sort of trade-in deal going for $150 off the price of the phone†, which is what convinced me to grab it. I'll offer a warning I wish I'd received a week ago. I've had mine

I absolutely agree. I was fortunate to see what this looks like a couple weeks ago when I went camping for three nights. My Galaxy S6 had a "Max" Power-Saving Mode that only allows 8 apps to be used during that time, four of whic

At 6'6", I like my height - but it took some work. I've learned quite a few tricks for matching eye-lines with the people I'm talking to in social settings. This generally includes leaning slightly at a bar, or sitting i

Same for me, since my phone number is more than a decade old and I haven't lived in the city where I obtained the number since 2012. I know people with numbers in the same area code, but definitely not with the same prefix. That said,

That's likely true, although with legalization has come the popularity of - and even preference to - vape pens and edibles, which weren't as accessible.

I understand what you mean about salting throughout the process, but I [somewhat] disagree that it won't be salty. I've nothing scientific to offer about this opinion, but I feel that we build a tolerance to salt and end up over-

I've only tried Blue Apron once. I was watching a friend's cat while he was out of town, and I grabbed his most recent order so it wouldn't go to waste. I don't remember which recipe it was, except to say it was a chick

I have an automated sit-stand desk, and I really appreciate having it. I don't necessarily switch to standing every day, but I do at least 75% of the time. When I do, it's for one to two hours at a time. I'm kind of the opp
