That is the worst possible response to the situation. It's an insult to the users. There is a battery life problem. Hiding that issue in this way assumes that the users are too dumb to realize.

I made the mistake of watching The Day After a few years ago while not wanting to go to sleep one night. Suffice it to say, I didn't sleep well that night and I am still somewhat traumatized by it. It's my go to reference for life

The tutorial you linked is for developing against mono using Paket and FAKE. I also found it difficult to work with F# and mono. My recent and positive experience was with developing against .net core. Also, you don't need to use yeoma

VS Code and Ionide work really well together. There are some slight issues like the loss of syntax highlighting in certain cases, but that is a really small issue. I am using this combination on a GalliumOS chromebook and it works out of th

I received several of these as gifts throughout my youth. I had almost completely forgotten about these and this website brought back good memories. They seemed like a little slice of science fiction, especially the ones that would light up

I bought a Dell Chromebook 13 with an i5 processor and I upgraded the SSD. In the end, I might have been better off getting a Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition, but I am somewhat smitten with this pretty amazing little machine. I am worried abo

I understand and agree with you that the personal price paid by veterans cannot be understated, but I think the OP's thought experiment was free of any slight against the military. He simply asked what such an amount would buy in pursu

The news and discussion are top quality. It's the only website I participate in and while my contributions are not the most useful, I feel like I have a voice in this community. For someone who finds it hard to "fit in", this

I had a co-worker who managed to push my buttons in just the right combination such that one day I lost it and let him know exactly how much I didn't appreciate him. It was a tunnel vision moment and I am glad I didn't let it go f

Do you recommend the 5510? I am seriously considering replacing my MacBook Pro with this. I currently get an hour and change of battery life when running my Windows VM even though OSX gets 7 hours easily.

I had a Tandy Color Computer 2. It hooked up to my TV and used cartridges for games and programs. I was about 7 years old (1986). I tried to understand programming BASIC, but it was beyond me at the time and I didn't have anyone to exp

Tangentially related to this point, when tools like Rails came along, it seemed that web applications would become trivialized to the point where "anyone can do it". In an environment where anyone can be a web developer, do you ne

From my perspective, from a very humble position, the content on this site seems to skew toward the "harder" science problems lately, a far cry from when 5 out of the top 10 stories were RoR related and many other stories were rel

I think your resume is fine as is. One of the first things they will ask you is, "why did you leave your last position?" and then you can explain the situation. Emphasize that you enjoyed your time there and felt like you grew and

What were your takeaways from the book? Also, Citizen of the Galaxy and Double Star are really good reads in the same sort of vein of political-minded science fiction.

This is a great observation. I grew up reading books that said we would be living in torus shaped space stations and shuttling back and forth to the moon. As you pointed out, there was never any emphasis on computers in these predictions, j

Nowadays you can have reality your way with relatively little work. In fact, you have to work hard to get other perspectives. You can even lie to yourself about your own viewpoint. You could be a left leaning liberal ready to say all of the

There are some things that people just have to learn for themselves. I think your comment is well intentioned, but there are any number of reasons why this may not apply for the OP. For example, at college age, you have no concept of the im
