Used it for a 120 day trip to Asia, but the UI got slow after adding more than 30 days of itinerary. Its still okay to use, I just had to break the trip up into individual countries, but was hoping it wouldn't clog up so much.

Maybe try some sort of private VPN/LAN network tool? I remember back in the day I used to use Hamachi to play Xbox LAN with my friends in different universities.

I think this is an unfair comment. This is like complaining about an agriculturist being awarded money for a novel agricultural technique they developed, but they aren't saving the penguins in the Antarctic...

I discovered the Mission through an Ennio Morricone playlist, and didn't regret it. Not a religious person but it made me aware of who the Jesuits were and read up on them. Truly a fascinating part of the Catholic Church, they're

Nor did my parents, but I guess I should have clarified better. They at least had the option to be able to do this. It was taken away when Concorde was grounded, but now we have an opportunity for supersonic flight for people, of course wit

The USS Midway is 296m long, with 282m of that being its flight deck. The USS Enterprise is 342m long, with 336m of flight deck. That's 54 metres of difference which doesn't seem a lot, but to an F14 pilot they would be very preci

This is really cool, I even tried to get monsters to frag each other but it didn't count towards the required 3 kill count. <clap> Also using cheats, kills with the rocket launcher aren't registered on the app.

I would argue that FUBAR, P-trap, Dequeue, HALO are going to have a less likelihood of a context collision than borrowing an existing word that is ubiquitous in society. For example in Google "toast" "toast menu" "t

As a developer who started with jQuery and then Backbone.js it seems like frontend dev has become very rich but at the same time has developed some weird esoteric rituals and practices which don't seem to go with conventional software

I get your reasoning but still why use food terms for jargon in UX instead of something else. Your example of a "P-trap" is good but its not like plumbers are going around saying, get me the "slinky hotdog" to bend a cop

How about just getting rid of all food related jargon; salad bars, burgers, toasts, heroes etc.? As a backend developer this stuff is mind-boggling, just call it "notification widget", or a "confirmation widget" etc. Try

Yea I know your pain when it comes to display scaling on a 3840x2160 monitor. I use Kubuntu and found that if you set display scaling you need to restart to properly have the settings take effect. I normally have it at 150% scaling
