I have before, but I shouldn't have to. CM can be pretty janky at times, particularly with the GPS. If I'm shelling out this much for a "flagship device", I shouldn't have to flash a custom ROM to stay up to date.

It does a pretty poor job with multiple monitors + OpenGL. Lots of pixels to push. I didn't try to get EyeFinity working, but that's probably out of the question as well.

wow, that stinks. I've never ran into it on my Windows 7 partition. I think I'd be even more irate if I did, though. Hate to pay top dollar for a high end card, only to see stuff like that on the platform is was more or less speci

I spend 99% of my time in Linux, so there is some gaming there as well, especially now that there are a lot of great titles with support on Steam. I rarely ever boot into Windows anymore, mostly for games that I can't play on Linux (or

As mentioned in the initial comment, this isn't an option for me.

The camera on the Galaxy Nexus was pretty awful, too. It is particularly bad in indoor environments (gets very grainy without the flash, gets super washed out with flash). I'm embarrassed to post photos sometimes because of the bad qua

I too am a frustrated Verizon + Galaxy Nexus user, but I'll be leaving them in December when my contract is up. They have handled their Android line terribly, and I can't blame Google for not wanting to deal with them. I STILL hav

I bought an ATI 5870 a few years ago. At the time, it was a pretty beefy card, and drives my three 23" monitors really well... in Windows. Late 2012 is when I found that enough bugs were fixed in the [now AMD] proprietary drivers to wh

Don't let its ease of use fool you, there are a lot of ways to shoot your foot off in Python. Typically, it's kind of like pulling the trigger (make the mistakes), only to see your foot get blown off a few months/years down t

They don't really need Wayland right now, and OSS isn't required for gaming on Linux. I've been pretty happy with xorg + pulseaudio + alsa and their Steam for Linux client. I've been surprised at the quality this early i

I think this is probably more of a TV/movie thing than much based in reality. We're no tougher than anyone else, but I could see how you may think we see ourselves as such if you just watch our movies/shows.

Yeah, that's a pretty broad brush. I don't even like to take Aspirin or Ibuprofen unless I have to, and I'm not the only one like that. Also, I've noticed that some of my fellow Generation Y'ers have arrived at simi

Just to be 100% clear, increase = worse in this context, correct?

Though, to be fair, you need a backup strategy regardless of where you are. If you don't have one, it's not anyone's fault but your own. AWS in particular is built with the mantra of "expect and embrace failure". Re

30-40% increase in what? Latency? Throughput? I'd be curious to see how using ElastiCache Redis as a session store compares to DynamoDB (on latency, throughput, and price).

Indeed, it's a simple and challenging little sucker, too. But a word of warning: It will make you feel like you're doing well for a while, then curbstomp you with zero warning. There's no saving/loading, and if you die,

FWIW, I actually had my first standing desk at a large company (International Paper) in one of those pre-fab cubes. One of the "benefits" of the cube farm is that some of them are extremely adjustable. My desk was secured against

Nothing at all. It is much cheaper and frees up money to spend on other things. I went this route and invested a little more in my keyboard/mouse/monitors with the savings.

This was how it was for me for the first month or two, but now I go nuts unless I can stand and pace while thinking. It's a more alert position for me. Initially it seemed like my brain was so concerned with the change in routine that

The biggest draw for me had nothing to do with the supposed health benefits. For me, I found that I didn't get my 2:00 crash. Before I started standing, I'd go out for lunch and come back around 1:00 or so. About 30 minutes to an

I don't think a motorized/adjustable desk is worth the expense, in my case. A cheap stool is perfectly good and serves a similar purpose without the danger of breaking. This is subjective, of course, and some of my colleagues have

I use a really cheap stool (pictured in the lower left corner). It was about $15 on clearance at some home goods store. The thing I've struggled with a little is reminding myself not to slouch when using the stool. It may be worth buyi

by gtaylor 13y ago
You deserve many upvotes. Couldn't agree more with both of your points. Buy a stool so you can prop up while you're switching! Alternate frequently even after that like aliston says. I switched without a chair and it was a very un

I'm a bit baffled that you think this is an esoteric thing worthy of debate in America. Seems like a pretty silly and useless generalization. I can make an opposite anecdotal observation and point out that the majority of my colleagues

This is how we are at Pathwright. Two of the co-founders are up in Greenville, SC, and I'm down near Atlanta, GA. Still close enough for me to be in the office periodically, but too far to commute.

I agree, this seems very practical and applicable. Sounds a lot less stand-offish, too. Don't have some guy pulling out obscure brain teasers to assert nerd dominance.

You just stitched together at least two different modules there, making your initial comment seem quite silly. I think the proper response would be, "Why doesn't Flask have an ORM? It's 2013. I can't even build REST API
