I'm seeing pushes to do this, and promises of that, but this is all stuff that should have been there from the beginning. The Preview window still stumbles on views imported from the Support Library, the emulator is a little better but

No, this rightfully deserves to be ripped apart. (Not specifically the Tools > Android thing.) This isn't a small company struggling to put something out. This is Google. There is no excuse for the defects and faults that Android St

The answer is simple: Google honestly does not care. The parts that are IntelliJ are great and work as well as IntelliJ does. However, the parts that Google is responsible for (the emulator, the GUI designer/layout preview, the gradle

"I mean, the governments of those places will probably snoop your emails, but if their contents have nothing to do with them, they won't care." Can't you say the exact same thing about the US government?

"Proprietary software generally leaves society worse off than if that same software were free and open source. In that sense, it is some evil thing." No, it does not.

Seriously? I'm pretty sure they have a better grasp on who their userbase is, and what they want than a random internet commenter.

The entire statement. Yes, I have seen it in context, and it was not "spun up". It is exactly what he said, and it is extremely abhorrent.

I don't buy it. He knew what he was doing, he knew it was wrong, and he did it anyway.

His entire spiel about Mexicans being drug dealers and rapists. And you are clearly not interested in any kind of discussion. You are simply trying to justify to yourself that, despite supporting someone who is clearly an abhorrent person,

Would you rather they beat the crap out of you and take your wealth? Cause let's be honest, that's the alternative. When it comes down to it, if the masses are not having their basic needs met, they will turn to crime and violence

Quite frankly, I look at Congress, I look at people like Paul Ryan, and I see a complete inability to look at things like that. I see people who feel that if you are not working, you should be punished. And in seeing that, I see a Congress

Except that's for the Justice System. Not normal people. The Justice System can take care of vetting evidence. Normal people are supposed to be supportive and stand up for those who come to them with stories like this one. And I'm

Remember what happened to Ellen Pao and Julie Ann Horvath? Remember what happened to the number of women who came forward saying that Trump sexually harassed them? Saying "sue" is easy if you're not the one that has to deal w

Except telling someone like the OP who clearly is not the kind of person that would believe the victim or try to get any help, and instead launch into a cross examination isn't going to do that. All that's going to do is make the

Except this kind of behavior is endemic to the industry. Just about every woman I know in the industry has a story similar to this. All over Twitter, women are sharing their similar stories. Just because you haven't seen it doesn'

I will believe it when I see it. I have no confidence that anything will actually change, and that anyone other than a token fall guy will be fired.

Yup. There was the article a couple days ago about how employers should avoid the "brilliant jerks", and everyone in the comments was saying how they'd rather have the "brilliant jerk" than someone who was nice and

The Director's Guild, Writer's Guild, and Screen Actors Guild, along with the various professional athlete unions, would be good examples of how it could be done.

For me, it can be a matter of actually doing it. I often suffer from analysis paralysis, so being a little tipsy means that I will actually write the thing. It'll be terrible, but it'll get done, and then sober me can go back and

What are you talking about? There have been many attempts to make an "Android Console". They've pretty much all flopped. Games made for a touchpad and finger don't translate well to controllers, just like controller game

Nobody suggested that. They suggest that if they depend on it, they should be paying fair price for it.

This kind of thing is why anyone who says the answer to all unemployment is "make a startup" shouldn't be taken seriously. Hell, the first thing they say is that they basically cut everyone but a couple people out of their li
