   I've had the update issue with a "normal" Windows 10 installation (upgraded from 7 without reinstall, which went well, seemingly). It always found updates but then failed (silently) to install them, and so on.

   "Like us on FB" popup. Yikes. Isn't uBlock supposed to block this stuff?

   Well, people change over time. Not to mention trauma. Things could happen that change these "brain signatures". This experiment is really lacking seriousness.

   Similar story (just reverse the severity of the crime and the punishment): http://www.b92.net/eng/news/crimes.php?yyyy=2016&mm=01&dd=14...

   Do ideologies of destruction and self-destruction get the same treatment as any other? Preserving them for the sake of preservation and diversity perhaps?

   You talk about ensuring the survival of the species, yet you downplay the suffering of fellow humans. What would there be left to save if everyone thought this way?

    Although the article covers a lot of things and provides some arguments (credit where it's due), the fashion in which the choices are made suffers from a kind of tunnel-vision favoritism. Claims like, "Everyone should use React. P

    Thanks for posting your thoughts. I was leaning towards TypeScript myself (as opposed to ES6) for an Angular project that will be migrated to version 2.0. Angular 2 was actually written in TypeScript if I am not mistaken, and it's one

    I found a mention in the comment section (I believe by the author of the article), which said it didn't work all that well for them.

    Two takeaways: 1. Big brother is watching (and photographing -- yikes) everything. 2. The website is horribly slow on a 4 year old laptop.

    You can make as many commits as you need on your feature branch. When you're done with the feature, you do `git pull --rebase origin master` (or whatever the main branch is) and squash your commits into one (or a few -- when it makes s

    While I strongly agree with old tailoring principle of "measure twice, cut once", I'd like to point something out. If older software had less known bugs it doesn't necessarily mean it had less bugs. We see years-old se

    Well, this is exactly what I would expect if I left any "Give me something random, I don't want to think too much" option activated. These are the first things I disable on any OS. With that said, I recently switched my home

    Correct, thank you for summing this up so nicely. I would just like to add that, when possible , such a thing often already exists . Food for thought.

    Thanks, I'm learning Clojure and things like this make me all warm and fuzzy inside :)

    Although, if activating this feature doesn't explicitly warn you that they're merging your account(s) with a Google/Gmail account, then it's worse than an opt-out.

    You're right, I did actually write that although I did not mean to imply that this particular thing is opt-out. Corrected now, thank you.

    I did not say this feature is opt-out.

    "Gmailify links your existing account to Gmail" -- okaaay. At least it's stated clearly in this case. The whole merge-with-Google thing (which they've also been known to do as opt-out, albeit not in this particular case)

    If I were getting a new laptop right now, I'd get the Dell XPS 13 (2015). I get the post's sentiment though, but what really sucks IMO is not the PC/laptop market but mobile...

    Interesting, the result seems to be for Jerry Seinfeld. If I try Seinfeld|WORK_OF_ART, I get a bunch of sitcoms but not Seinfeld.

    Searched for "Best Iron Maiden album" and it was smart enough not to pick one. Then I tried "Seinfeld" and it returned Seinfeld as the 10th result behind some other sitcoms, including IT Crowd (that was an oddball!) :)

    I second this. The light mode could also use a minor improvement in contrast. Otherwise awesome idea!

    "Try"? I guess you're right. I was merely trying to point out how you were behaving as a bit of an asshat there. Since you continue to do so, I have obviously failed at that. Not everyone can be successful as you. But you alr

    My completely unscientific opinion, coming from my own observations, is that animals are generally much more emphatic than we give them credit for.
