Exactly this. Your name is not your own--your name is a contract between you and the culture / civilization you're dealing with.

> It probably would work for vehicles, however. For example, electric cars with roofs that are already solar panels—I'm sure adding an antenna to the mix would be fairly trivial.

Genuinely curious—so non-4k high-DPI displays work fine then?

You can build a database by accepting URLs submitted by users, too. It just baffles me that people willingly install these extensions that—on the tin!—say that they can "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit". IN

I think this is brilliant. Culling the herd.

Beautiful, useful extension! But honestly, who installs (and keeps) extensions like this that require your absolute trust??? "Add CSS Peeper? It can: - Read and change all your data on the websites you visit." Are there really no

Niggle: The title should be "How _One_ Man's …", not "How _a_ Man's …". This reflects the actual title of the article, and avoids an ambiguous reading (was this bad math attributed to _men_, or a singular perso

Have you tried GitKraken? https://www.gitkraken.com/ Seems like there's a glut of these apps of late—not that I'm complaining! :-)

A brilliant troll / piece of entertainment. The author basically reveals it here in Update #3: > Our software has now moved onto PayPal so we know it's safe.

As a human who is also apparently a leg-humping chihuahua, I just wanted to chime in to say that Noah Webster is a dumbass.

Oddly coincidental, there was a book released today covering this exact topic in the context of PHP development: http://adamwathan.me/refactoring-to-collections/

I think the more pertinent question from the example given is: "Did I work for colossal douchebags?"

They explicitly answer this question in the FAQ (sketchapp.com/support/faq): Is Sketch available for Windows or Linux? Due to the technologies and frameworks exclusive to OS X that Sketch has been built upon, regrettably we are no

It is curious—however, I have a feeling that the offenders listed in the article aren't bumping up against the limitations of JPEG compression in their bloat. :-)

One could argue that extreme climate swings might make for an _ideal_ development environment. Environmental extremes would better model real-world conditions.

Not necessarily in good taste, but… yes. At this time (1996) having an obvious overreaction like this would have appeared to be a joke.

I think it's a combination of the era and of the specific context. I would suppose that your experience potentially had other extenuating factors that caused you to give the threat more weight. Either way, I don't fault you at all

This "threat" was made in 1996 (not 2004 as some other commenters are noting—the _thread_ is from 2004). This is a fascinating view into how things have changed between then and now. Honestly, in 1996 you could make a threat like

Terrible wordplay, if this is actually the case. The play exactly contradicts the thesis.

If you make the bottom of the pile accessible in some manner (like with a door), it's more efficient to withdraw the grain from that point due to gravity. Peripherally related, this pyramid talk finally made me look up "critical a
