Seriously. I'm not sure how we got to a place where 500MBs of RAM for apps that don't even have a quarter of the functionality of apps that needed 500KBs of RAM became normal and acceptable.

I'm more interested in the part where the answer to which vegetable to throw out is found at the end of a 40 minute video...having come across similar videos, have to ask, does this actually work?

But...why? I smoked a pack a day for a little more than 10 years, got an e-cigarette and haven't looked back. I don't understand why anyone would do the reverse.

I've seen this before and still can't figure out if it's an ad or a Godspeed You Black Emperor song.

I work on a freelance basis pretty much due to my inability to "play the game." My poor "soft skills" don't seem to be bother my clients much.

I seem to recall Dropbox-powered static blog generators being all the rage a few years back...then they all shut down.

Anyone know of an easy way to get games purchased off GOG to use this version by default?

Frankly, I'm moving back to vinyl. I'm aware that most albums have finally been properly remastered to be in a digital format, eliminating the disparity in sound quality, but I feel like something purely analog with zero possibili

I'm one of the many non-coders who uses Emacs just for Org-Mode and would love to be able to work in a more, well, "normal" editor. But you're right, without folding, or many other features (Refile being a major one),

I don't get it, either, especially with the Kodak news today. Like, someone please explain if I'm misunderstanding, but can't pretty much anyone create a cryptocurrency? Do I instantly become valuable if I create one tonight?

Isn't that basically how short-selling works?

Love seeing more tools for good old ASCII art, but it seems ANSI art has become a forgotten relic of the past...

I think he's referring to the fact that first chapter had a very coherent story, then in chapter 2, it's just random stuff happening with some occasional story taking place in Mother Base...and then the game just suddenly ends.

Reading this, all I can think of is that South Park episode and "Theoretical Internet Dollars."

Sometimes I kick myself for not buying any BTC for the novelty factor...you know, back when the primary use was buying illicit substances online. Then I realize, I would've sold it off when it hit $250 per BTC and I'd probably hat

Was going to comment the same thing. Lately, if I, say, search for four words, the top result will only contain one of those four words. Almost feels like being back in 1996.

I just don't understand Bitcoin as an investment, especially in 2017. Isn't it too late to do this? How much higher can the price possibly get? (Edit: Of course, I just remember saying the same thing when the price hit $2,000)

I want to comment on and lament the loss of the "good old days," but I'm biased; I wrote several articles for them. They paid more than pretty much any other online only publication and were not only receptive to, but outrigh

I love the term "Kafkaesque," but had never thought of applying to the process of a cancer diagnosis. As soon as I read the headline alone, I got it, though. I went through this while looking after my mother during her treatment..

While this is bad, in my experience, I feel that paranoia about shills does far more damage to online communities than any paid shill could. ...or maybe I'm being paid to say that. (I wish I was).

How many notes have you tested this with? Similar apps choke pretty hard on large collections of notes (1,000+)

The first job I took right out of college (I was kinda out of money and needed a job immediately) was at a polling company. You know, the obnoxious kids who call and say, "If an election were held tomorrow..." Anyway, the place st
