Then I apologise for misreading your comment as a judgement on the valid uses of a Mac rather than it being your personal opinion.

Hang on - it's been trendy for a decade now? That's pretty good marketing. Maybe, just maybe, different developers enjoy coding in different ways.

I may have misunderstood what you meant, but copy and paste in tmux works in vertical panes just the same as horizontal panes: http://d.pr/i/93p2/wNHyqVFr (copied from the right shell into vim in the left).

That's interesting. So, from that, the thing that stops DO being a cloud service (and linode and so on) is that you can't say "I used 2 CPUs at 100% for 12 hours"? It only allows for the granularity of saying "the n

AWS generally, although not always, shows an alert before this happens. However, I totally agree - if you are running any sort of service where you have a financial penalty if that service goes down, then it's your responsibility to en

It's amusing that an article pushing hybrid apps as a good way forward was inspired by a hybrid app breaking in a way a "pure" app wouldn't. Beyond that thought the article seems a little, well, odd. Is the argument that

you know 'post' here means 'after', right? Being around after death sounds pretty successful to me. Especially if it involves lots of quaffing and hairy Vikings.

Postmortem doesn't (to me at least) imply failure. Specifically for games it's just a critical analysis of what worked and what didn't on a project for the purposes of learning for the next one. I don't know if the phras

Actually, I wonder if you could use the existing ones and have some sort of meta-search site for it?

I'm not suggesting you don't continue to make a better one, but there are quite a few databases like this in the UK and, I imagine, world wide. The top few from this Google search: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q

It's £179 this week. I bought a new heating programmer and a wireless thermostat last year - together they cost £180. Nest is expensive, but it's not insanely pricey assuming that it leads to a similar energy efficiency as higher

Providing a dopamine fix may be being coercive. It's a reward that may be manipulated by those with few ethics. Certain types of marketing, similarly, may be considered coercive. Coercion isn't limited to physical violence.
