I am positively impressed by the difficulty of the Linux questions.

Disclaimer: I was a dota player, which has some rivalries with LoL The LoL model is controversial. You may not pay anything, but it will take you literally thousands of hours to get most champs and runes. Do you need all? Thats arguable. Ca

You could say that about google cars (they're prone to bugs) but they have made some serious progress over the years. One might say they drive better than humans already. Let's not forget that humans aren't perfect. We cant p

I dont use reddit to much but it doesnt seem dead to me. Theres tension between the community and company, but it seems to me it still serves its main purpose.

I do not know the author of the blog but that's horrible. No one should have to face that. Unfortunately, behind the anonimity of the internet, trolls and disgusting people will harass pretty much anyone and there's not much anyon

I like the two knobs UI, it can be as simple as the single knob but it's more versatile. However, those can be annoying when you forget to turn the power knob the right way. A possible solution would be a led with different colors for

Another unfortunate aspect of this law is that it is especially annoyng for those who delete cookies after leaving a website or closing the browser. Since the users acceptance of cookies is stored in a cookie, I get that pop-up repeatedly o

I wasn't too impressed with XFCE on fedora - it was light indeed, but it felt too boring for regular desktop use. Then I tried Manjaro Linux and I loved it - the xfce theme shipped by default looks and feels amazing. fedora: https:&#x

That screenshot protection thing is kind of dumb. As they show in their website, you take 2 screenshots and there you go, name and message. You can say you make it harder to take screenshots but you cant promise a secure way to prevent peop

They provide a platform with fine support for mods. That's some extra work and cost in the development of the platform which allows modders to spend less time and money to finish their mod. I agree the percentage is ludicrous, but I do

I'm taking it as a cheap form of certification. Pretty good for new users overall, intermediate users may learn from a chapter or two.

I feel that would be really unnecessary and possibly harmful to the MOOCs themselves. 1 - Sign ups alone require nearly no resources from the provider. 2 - Attendance and therefore popularity could be much lower. While that could be a good

I think the point of some of these tests is to quickly distinguish from people who can and can't code solutions for simple problem. The latter has obviously lied in their application and can be dismissed right away, creating time for o

I don't use soundcloud too much but a related service that could also go through a major redesign is spotify. Some of the things that bother me most: 1 - I use 3 platforms (Linux, android tablet and android phone), and that's 3 d

You won't find any popular open-source license that mentions active development.

I don't agree. If someone releases open-sourced code, others are free to use it and modify it. Why would the developer who shared the code be a jerk if it didn't fit the needs of others? I also don't understand why someone wo

I agree especially with the discovery part. Nearly everything I listen to on a regular basis was discovered on either YouTube or spotify. However, he does have a point, musicians aren't making any money out of streaming, which is unfai

That's not engaging, thats a distraction from the lesson. I hate having someone in front of me browsing reedit, 9gag or any entertaining stuff - it distracts me even if I don't care for the content.

The thing about cross fit is that it usually pushes for the "if it's hurting, it's good" mentality, which is not true at all. I find conventional weightlifting gets it much better - lift heavy, watch your form, don'

I spotted some errors but it always marked the answer as wrong... It's a fun exercise but that's a bummer. Still seems like a good tool, nonetheless.

What about the people funding this? After all, they are responsible for making this happen. Also, if we start thinking about all the money everyone could spend better, everyone's guilty of that.

I didn't read the whole article, but from the introduction, it seemed she failed the test because she wasn't used to studying hard in high school. Richer students do have more resources but I can't figure why money was a rele

I think there have been some critics concerning its safety and effectiveness. I think there was a good article criticizing crossfit in hacker news some days or weeks ago. It seemed to make sense to me.
