Thanks, got a good chuckle from this! Reminded me of an old joke I had read: "How do you generate a random string? Put a first-year computer science student in Vim and ask them to save and exit."

A Bachelor's in CS is not a requirement for OMSCS, just a recommendation [1]. You can still apply and maybe get with a strong application--things like good recommendations, strong past academic history, a good understanding of core mat

I hope this does not mean death to the free 500MB mLab tier. I have been using it for small personal projects with Heroku and have been extremely happy.

Looks aside, today I had to click 'delete' 5 times before it actually deleted an email, clicking 'send feedback' did nothing. I searched here to see if anyone recommended an alternative client. I think I'll try good

I think the X is not for sale because the Xs is an identical phone, except for the newer A12 chip and increased water resistance by 1m. If they were to sell the X it would have to be at a lower price point, then who would buy the Xs at $100

There is another video [1], in which a 2017 i7 outperforms a 2018 i9 in video compression due to its severe throttling. Sure the benchmarks look great and are better on the i9, but as someone mentioned, that's like looking at sprint co

Wow, I just experienced the same thing! After hearing Laurel I could not get back to hearing Yanny. Tried again after ~5-10min and Yanny is back.

Just got this as well. I changed my password on GitHub about a month ago, and it looks like only those who changed a password were affected. If I have to guess, they maybe saved the plaintext from the form when testing the password reset fe

I recently noticed that reddit started to push AI as well for choosing what to display on my front page. As if everyone else doing it was not enough. The more I read some subreddit, the more posts I see from it on my front page, even though

Some have already mentioned similar clients, but also check out Convos[1]. Recently I had a very similar need for what you described and stumbled upon it. [1] https://convos.by/

Indeed, sleazy marketing tricks to get you to buy. You can always find a $10 coupon if you search and get to a site like dealsea. I have enjoyed some courses on there and follow a few authors, but this kind of crap needs to be dealt with by

'brew update' will fetch the newest version of Homebrew and all formulae. Upgrade will upgrade the packages. I wrote about this and refer to it when upgrading just in case. [1] It might be helpful. [1] https://gloutniko

You can delay it a little by going to Settings > General > Storage & Cloud usage > Manage storage and delete the downloaded update. It buys me about a week until it downloads again and starts spamming me to upgrade.

I completely agree with you on the commercial part, it has gotten ridiculous. If it was not for the NFL Red Zone channel, I think I would have given up also.

Had not recently checked up on what Jolla is doing, but it looks like they dropped future plans for devices and concentrating solely on the OS. Reminds me of when I tried to buy a Jolla phone after my N9 and that thing was nearly impossible

I think it's a great move. Maybe on a similar note, one of the reasons I really like and find more use out of Foursquare is the way their rating system works compared to the five-star Yelp rating system. For example, in Yelp I found th
