I just switched to the XPS 13 as well and picked up the WD15 which is the same price on Amazon. The WD15 officially supports linux and from what I read is better than the 3100 as long as you're on a more recent kernel. Hopefully I won&

I received no financial help post-college from my family because I didn't need it. My starting salary was twice what my dad made at the time and my sister had just begun college. I had saved up money myself from working during college

I guess I was taking the "people who can afford " part of your comment as "it's for well off people" when it's actually a reduction in spending for many Americans. It matches up with the "Low cost plan&quo

For number 4 are you referring to domestic travel? I used Fi on my Nexus 6P recently through Canada, Japan, Indonesia, and Taiwan with the service becoming available soon after landing. I was actually surprised it worked as well as it did.

The Unity Linux beta has been working quite well for me. It is lacking certain things like asset store support, but otherwise it's been solid in my small hobby projects. That said, I'll be taking a good look at Godot. Most of my p

It doesn't appear in that list for me, curious if this is only affecting iPhone users and/or Android 5 and below.

Agreed that this should be built in. I've been using https://github.com/atom-community/sync-settings which stores everything in a gist and has worked out reasonably well so far. The pain points are that you have t

Depends on if you look at eSports as an all encompassing entity, or as a collection. If you swap out "eSports" in the title with "sports" it works.

I can attest to this. I was consuming over a gram of caffeine a day from a pre-workout drink, and 3 cups of starbucks pike's. It's a daily ritual at work to make the walk to Starbucks which ends up resulting in various technical d

They did raise or remove the limit I believe, though long lines, particularly minified files, do still pose a problem and force me to kill Atom. Edit: Confirmed that the 2mb limit was removed. While viewable and editable, depending on the o

I'd rather play a game that, if I should want to play it 20 years from now and there are no update servers - which I do still do with my old consoles - I can pop it in and not worry about bugs I have to figure out how to get patched. G

This was the case in my few months there. We had "sprints" and "stories" but 75% of all the stories in every sprint would just get pushed to the next sprint with no thought behind it. Part of that was because our stories

You bring up the real-time component, which is something we didn't do and from what I can tell the OP does not plan to do either. Real time is an entirely different beast and something I haven't seen in these types of competitions

We have a poorly written Java client app that has a large number of resources it has to pull down from S3 at startup time. As a small side project I built up a large subset of it from scratch with clojure, mostly to get my feet wet in it. B

Not too much, the difficulty comes more from fewer problem choices. ICPC at the regional level has many questions to select from and usually has at least 2 problems that can be solved in under 5-10 minutes (we had a badass on our team with

It's a programming competition similar to TopCoder or ACM ICPC. You're given 4 problems, each with a small (small n) and large (big/huge n) input set, and a time limit to write programs to solve as many as possible. You'

Lodash is what finally made me get functional programming, because I was able to start using it in small places where it made sense as opposed to diving into it all at once. At first it started out with just map and filter for some basic ca
