I just wish the included adapter had a longer cable. The 6-ish feet is just long enough to get you off of a wall, but not quite long enough to move away comfortably. I assume that it's due to the spec though.

I don't understand the context of your post. "Pay us money, and we won't allow companies to manipulate you via advertising." Or "Pay us money, and we won't use every tool at our disposal to suck every bit of po

One thing I think a lot of people don't realize is that the more specific a law is, the more it becomes like a zero-tolerance policy. Allowing for ambiguity, as you said, allows for the law to be enforced with context. A contrived exam

I know of two people who used Chromebooks around 2015. One of them basically used it as a light laptop. Took notes with it, traveled with it, etc. The other guy used it as his primary computer. In spite of him praising it whenever someone w

How do you measure complexity with an objective number? I have a few ideas for what could go into it for a given task or process (number of branching paths, number of methods called, LOC, time to develop, etc.) but how do you assign weights

I fail to see how this relates more to a person's individual personality than programming habits or attitude. It's not unreasonable to see two programmers of different skill levels producing the same code simply because they'

Glad to know that I'm not the only one that felt this way. 4 copied images and a few lines of text that add nothing to the discussion of the original article. I even refreshed the page, because I thought that I was missing something. I

The problem lies in when you try to blindly apply these assumptions without anything to back it up. This is true of anything in life. I get that we sometimes have gut feelings that we can't explain. We have to be honest with ourselves

Then I think we would need to cross that bridge when we got there. As someone else said, people are losing non-trivial amounts of money to scams that are disguised as investments. You don't want ads for these scams when ad money is you

I don't need every application to be the leanest that it can be. What I need is for every application stop assuming that 12 GB of free memory means that it's their 12 GB. I understand the adage of free memory being wasted memory,

I don't understand what a form has to do with CL tools and their weaknesses. If you think that a form would help create better commits and commit messages, you can set one up in the CL. You can think of all of Git's interactive op

I just thought of something in regards to following local law. This is mostly rhetoric. There are people in support of companies fighting and breaking current law if they feel that a certain law does not serve the people. We have censorship

Java Puzzlers[0] has a few entries similar to this. Some of the entries are things that would trip you up (but logically makes sense) rather than oddities, but it's an interesting read. Note that the book is from 2005 and uses Java 5.
