I am a student and I think I can answer how I use Facebook and it provides "some" value to me. I also have the same three tiered social circle. The first circle I have regular contacts with on the phone, WhatsApp or in person. The

That won't be platform independent though I think. WebAsm can run on ARM as well as x86 and even PPC.

Wow, in all my 5 months on Vim usage I didn't learn about this. Gonna go :help clipboard now. Thanks.

Macros are the best part of vim for me. They allow me to transform large quantities of text which would be difficult to do using a regular expression even. Also, after enough use (I'd say 4 weeks in my case) a lot of the commands becom

This reminds me of the conclusion of the game SOMA. You can find some interesting discussion here. https://www.reddit.com/r/soma/comments/3pa4fu/philosophy_in_...

Orkut and MySpace were both a lot larger than when Facebook started. Facebook did some great things and innovated during their early years. But yeah, nowadays they can just coast by being marginally better than any new product.

This looks amazing and is buttery smooth. Loads and runs faster than most webpages even. Takes even less than 10% of my CPU (i5-5200U). Really excited about what WebAssembly brings to the table. But sadly the WASM is an opaque format and I

Aliases are only expanded in interactive shells so ImageMagick or any program that calls an executable from within a process will not have any issues.

I find the pair of videos by Kurzgesagt on YouTube to be much more appealing for me. Link for people interested: 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNhhvQGsMEc 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fQkVqno-uI

If you're using mpv, do this instead: mpv tvshow/season1 Now use Shift+Q to exit. The next time you run mpv tvshow/season1, it will resume from where you left.

Install mpv and use Shift+Q to exit. That way when you open the folder again in mpv it will start exactly where you left it.

There is a trio of neuro-degenerative diseases which are horrible and have no known cure or even treatment to make the symptoms manageable. The worst part is that the person who gets them suffers as much, if not more, than the people they k

I find Reddit a lot better for that kind of conversation (excepting certain subs like /r/the_donald, /r/resist, /r/worldnews, /r/politics and certain others). /r/AskReddit is one of the best

It would have been. But it wasn't my code, I was merely using it. I think better structuring would have helped the code much more than unit tests. Unit tests are good to ensure you don't break things. But spaghetti code that passe

I agree with that. They just kind of throw you in there and hope you'd figure it out. Add to it the fact the mechanics are mostly unique to that game only so there was no familiarity to help.

For everyone who hasn't played SOMA, give it a try if you like video games and/or philosphy (related to self discovery). The game itself has great mechanics, environment and audio. But the story is what makes me like the game more

For iso images you can use fuseiso ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fuseiso ). While for all other purposes you really should take the time to learn about udisks. ArchWiki would be a great place to start.

I have run into something very similar in somebody else's python program where they declared a string that was later used (based on some conditionals) to locate a file. The thing is that most of the conditionals were never hit under id

This is really great. Works perfectly and solves a very practical problem for me. Unicode really should do something about discoverability though.

If you are generating the HTML using data from a JSON schema (like JSON Resume) then HTML is a good enough way since the data is easy to handle. Raw HTML would be a very big pain once you want to generate tailored resumes based on some inpu
