That's just the thing - my upgraded '12 15 inch MBP with 16GB RAM can last me until the chassis give out. To help with weight while traveling, I've been using an iPad + VPS for coding. Switching back to Linux no longer feels

Well, they got walkability mostly right, but living in those panel boxes was still not great. I'd never want to go back to that... Personally, I find the 5-8 story setups of cities like Paris, Barcelona or Rome much more appealing - en

I postponed a purchase of a fully loaded 13 inch model because of the lack of compelling enhancements (not sold on the bar) and these reports of battery life issues likely mean I will not make the purchase at all. At least 3 people I know a

I didn't know anyone when switching to Seige. My guild basically disintegrated on Pacific server with most moving on to EQ, which I didn't really connect with. But doing Seige solo for a bit somehow added to the fun. Really wish I

Greater LA area covers at least 3 counties. How's that a problem? If you want sub 300k in a safe area with shorter commute, then you have to stick to condos. If you have to have a house, commute is required. Valencia, Santa Clarita, Sy

I played Ultima Online for over a decade. Missed the start by a year, but after that pretty much saw it through the highs and the eventual decline. Stopped playing during grad school as I just couldn't do the hours needed and balance t

Neighborhoods in LA vary greatly and depend on what you value. For example, if you want good schools, yard and say house under 700k, and want to commute to Santa Monica. Your best bet is West San Fernando Valley, such as Woodland Hills and

Thanks! Article definitely fails to mention this and it's an important angle to understand.

That's entirely untrue - you can find plenty of decent affordable neighborhoods in LA that have nothing in common with skid row. What you have to compromise on is traffic/long commute.

For context, from the article: "Takahashi had clocked about 105 hours of overtime in the month leading up to her death, authorities found." Japan has a 40 hour work week and a max of overtime a person can volunteer for. In a month

Can't recommend that ultra-wide setup enough, though I'm using Dell U3415W. You basically get the space of two monitors without bezels. Allows for several side-by-side windows of code, as well as preview of results (if working on

$15k per year (or $208/person/month) for CRM/Chat/Phone seems high, unless they mean unlimited Salesforce.com license for each user and some add-one... (which for 6-person team seems an excessive choice.)

The city treated them as abandoned personal property (as opposed to abandoned real property), probably because they could move it. The people behind these homes then made it politically costly for the city to keep doing it, so they returned

From the wikipedia article linked above: "In 1944, an Albanian Waffen-SS division was formed, which arrested and handed over to the Germans a further 281 Jews from Kosovo who were subsequently deported to the Bergen-Belsen concentratio

But did they equally take in Serbs with the same hospitality? I'm sure a handful of examples can be found, but I doubt it's quite as open as the article makes it sound. As for religion, whether we want it or not, religion of our a

This! Kosovo (and all of Balkan conflicts) are an ongoing tragedy, drawn around ethnic and religious lines. The article doesn't appear to clearly state that the refugees were largely ethnic Albanians and of mostly Muslim faith, same as

The article fails to break out cost of building versus cost of litigating to be able to build. They mention the NIMBYs, but without putting dollar or % value on what costs they create. Santa Monica and West LA are great examples - costs and

Russian culture and the current situation in the country are quite different. Honesty and sincerity are highly valued traits, to the point that Westerners are still labeled as disingenuous for smiling too much - Russians view this as fake a

The main problem for most post-Soviet production has long been that the supply chain now includes 2+ countries. Antonov is a prime example - had AN-124 and AN-225 been "Ukrainian" planes, we would have seen more production and com

The example charts appear to not resize with device orientation change from portrate to landscape. Is this something that is expected to be handled by the end-user developer?

That's not how it works, especially in hot markets. Zoning is not absolute and the current process allows for all kinds of variances and exceptions. The Pen Factory project is an excellent example. Local NIMBYs defeated a really neat p

The fact that an already hugely successful SF market is growing ~37% is astounding. 45% growth for a much smaller footprint is not nearly as impressive as the sustained growth of a large market.

I've driven stick for 10 years and absolutely share your concerns, but the fun to drive and control can coexist. Being able to turn off stuff for off-road use makes sense, but I'd rather have a choice, whereas right now my choice

How do they match the driver? Does it use driver license photos or some other database to match these?

From personal experience, the automated enforcement is tricky - speed cameras are common in Moscow suburbs. The owner of the vehicle is cited under current regs, which is annoying but since there is no point system like in US, it's not

Many jurisdictions have criminal penalties depending on severity of recklessness. For example, in California in collisions that resulted in death of someone other than the driver responsible can result in charges all the way to vehicular ho
