I’m not sure how it would be considered communist today. It’s ruled by a “communist” party but its economic system is nowhere near communist.

It’s also a popup that comes up several times every week or even day on windows. Really wish it was easier for apps on windows to run in user mode only and stick to it, but it seems like everything needs UAC on a regular basis for one reaso

Just don't agree to it. Or remove the policy and state your concerns to your employer.

Even if they do cross, they have the right of way. Outside of maybe the autobahn, you should never be driving a car fast enough to where you cannot see a pedestrian in time to stop for them. It's pretty unlikely that the pedestrian is

You now have to go into Search Settings -> Verbatim. Unfortunately you’d have to do this for each search session as it doesn’t persist.

JVM is slow as heck to start, but an awesome runtim. In an ideal world I'll never have to restart my application or my repl, but in the real world I do it all the time. It's much faster than node.js/V8 when executing heavy ta

I switched as well, for different reasons. Some things I found that I liked about apple maps: its navigation has speed limit information and I much prefer its design. It seems less busy, and it gets out of my way. Something about google map

In 2009 maybe. If anything it's "trendy" now to quit social media.

Exploring tumblr today is like exploring myspace pages in 2006. No matter how powerful your PC, it's a miserably slow site to browse and, in my opinion, difficult to mentally ingest content from.

If software vendors are making publically available a url from which to download packages, then as far as I'm concerned they can pound sand. What does it matter if I fetch its contents via a shell script or a browser? Providing a scrip

This is similar to how a lot of the homebrew cask packages work on OS X. Ninite appears to be more end-user/consumer focused while chocolatey aims for a wider swath of developer packages as well. Personally, I use neither because neith

Only if your contract specifically states that the artist will check your logo against registered trademarks for potential infringement. Usually that requires two people, an IP lawyer and a logo designer.

Third party resources? The problem isn't the stock images or shapes the generator uses, the problem is you could create a logo for "Disney" here or accidentally make something too close to Blogspot's logo because your co

For anyone interested in further study of media's relationship to psychology and sociology, I cannot recommend enough Marshall Macluhan's writings and lectures. He may have been the first to argue that media is an extension of the

NYC’s subway system doesn’t see improvement because upstaters are conservative and aren’t going to benefit from it. The wealthy boomer republican districts believe that expanding public transportation into their towns will bring in the unde

I mean if I had devices side by side of different OSes, I’m confident I could measure it. Time to open applications, like the phone dialer and messages, is noticeably slower than ever before for me. Another issue is that now when I open my

It really is not too hard to separate these things in npm, but very few packages do.

I have a 6s and regret upgrading to 11. Slow and unstable. Frankly I don’t do enough sketchy crap on the phone to care about security updates as much as I’m supposed to.

You can't simultaneously advocate for superior free-market solutions and then complain when the government outcompetes the private sector.

I think inflammable (or flammable) applies. I think the user is saying the trust is likely to go up in flames.

Spotify, Slack, and Atom work fine for me, though slack is probably the most annoying one on all platforms. Atom is far from fluff in terms of functionality, but it's fine if you don't use it.

I’ve been having the same experience with iOS 11. I often open the phone app to call someone I recently talked to, see their name at the top, click it to call them, only for the phone to call someone else. What’s happening is that someone e

I wasn’t aware they had a constitutional right to a domain name. Nothing is stopping them from hosting their own website.
