In my experience watching lay people use computers, they almost never consider right clicking.

Thank you! It was your website that convinced us to go with moissanite in 2008! I owe you a beer or 12 :)

Why not use both? I'm shipping python 3 software using Ansible and it works great.

Unfortunately they ignore Linux as far as I could tell on a quick browse. Having Linux work with the hardware out of the box (more or less) is crucial.

Every time I go to the Dell website I curse how difficult it is to navigate. I really want a 1920x1200 matte screen option...

I really like the sounds of the XPS 13 but I'm really wary of going to a 13" screen. I currently use a 17" MBP...

Looks nice but no way can I live with that battery life.

My first reaction when I saw the touch bar was "Ugh this is going to cause a world of headaches when runnning Ubuntu". I was relieved to see you can still get a MBP with physical function keys[1]. (semi-off topic: any Linux user

Yes, it's how people normally drive and it's very frustrating for those of us who understand why keeping to the right is better. My experience driving in the UK, Netherlands, France & Germany suggests that citizens of those co

I think part of it was that this was written in 2008 which is forever ago in internet time. I think book learning for programmers was maybe more prevalent back then. I know I was significantly more likely to read a programming book 8 years

FWIW I felt similarly about my Nexus 4 and was upset when it took a bath. I replaced it with a Nexus 5 and while I initially thought it might be too big, I very quickly got used to the additional size. After two years of use I like it more

Why is video sacred? Of course YouTube has the ability to replace a video with another. Yes they probably should have put a notice about it but this isn't really different than editing an article.

I agree that the pervasive car culture is very frustrating, but saying a backyard is only usable 4 months of the year is silly. Many of us with kids use them year round.

I picked this up after seeing it recommended on HN before. It was definitely not a genre I read very often, but for some reason I found it completely captivating. Loved it! edit: it also made me much more excited for this discovery than I w

This is interesting! For me using <ESC> does indeed take a few seconds to complete commenting out the block. However, I have jk mapped to <ESC> and the commenting happens instantly using jk which makes sense in the context of y

$35-45k sounds insane for Vancouver. FWIW, jobs I currently see advertised in the Toronto/Waterloo region (both on Stack Overflow and by recruiters) for mid-level devs are more like $70k-$110k.

I knew about the Okanogan but not Carcross. Looks like it's not a 'real' desert though[1] (too humid). [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcross_Desert

It's very easy to verify for yourself that the cause & effect goes "push right handlebar (or equivalently, pull left handlebar) to initiate a right hand turn/lean". The countersteering argument has been repeated lite

The more verbose name is infinitely more preferable to me. If I am tasked one day with doing some maintenance on this code and have never encountered it then at least I have a hint that I should be researching the aquatic properties of mari

Exactly. Calling this "a trailer park" is technically correct (the best kind of correct!) but, christ, this place is so far from a real trailer park that it's ridiculous to group them together. The Trailer Park Boys mockumen

I tried twice and it didn't work at all for me. My tinnitus is caused by otosclerosis rather than tension though so maybe that's why.

Honda motorcycles have exceptional reliability but I'm not sure that is directly comparable with their auto line. Out of curiosity what model is getting 100+ miles to the gallon?!? edit: I guess the Grom might come close?
