It's not perfect (it may even be terrible) but I can charge my computer, my phone, and my Nintendo Switch with it which is a huge improvement over the last generation of cable mayhem.

Having a solution to the problem and having people advocate for implementing that solution in their companies are too different things. We know about lots of best practices but if no one is advocating for them at their companies those pract

The novel the movie was based upon used male infertility. Movie switched that and pinned the infertility on females. That said, infertility on the man or woman doesn't matter much in a "we want to make babies scenario." The e

It also could've been just the person picking an int over a long. Is ints vs. longs the first place to look for optimizing efficiency/performance?

Didn't people who work at the facility say "flooding" was an exaggeration of what actually went down?

I've done both iOS and Android and I'll take Java + Kotlin + Android Studio over the iOS stack any day.

If we waited until we were absolutely sure of something we wouldn't be saying much ever would we? Isn't the whole point of science to postulate things and then prove or disprove them? Advances can also take "proven" thin

I'm curious! Mind sharing your five lines of code if they are simple and don't contain anything special?

I think language might be piggybacking off cultural norms and expectations as well. For example (generalization incoming) in Portugal the farther north you go, the looser tongues get. People from Lisbon (central Portugal) and down south are

My top endorsements are for trolling, Starcraft, and food. I've also received endorsements for "Brute Force Algorithms" and "Inefficient Android Layouts." Truly... highlights of my career!

Wow! The sleuthing here is intense and that smoking gun (a purchased high-res version of a photo showing the actual distance covered) is amazing!

"Huge platform for indie developers." Genuinely curious as to what you are comparing the Switch to (e.g. PS4, PC?) and why you believe this is so?

What Android phone are you using? Stock Android is pretty good in my opinion but the manufacturer and carrier-flavored versions of Android can get pretty disgusting.

"seemingly even if I turn notifications off for that server/channel" This kills me the most. When I turn off notifications for a server, I do not want to see the red dot on the app icon in my Dock.

I believe the comment I was replying to was saying one should not use Medium because it is an "over-engineered blogging platform." I was not arguing for creating or using theoretical swiss army knifes.
