I literally chuckled when I saw your message because I actually thought about using dom/sub when I saw the '"dominatrix"-"submissive"' message, and there's the bonus of it being more symmetrical and l

I think it does if you consider "speed" as meaning response latency and perceived speed, not data throughput. From what I've read here so far, it feels fast, while not killing your battery with bulk cat'ing of text.

That went in a direction I didn't expect! Very interesting, thanks :)

I'm a 16.04 user, too, and I've been running 18.04 in a VM for a few weeks. Basically seems ok to me, but, I do have some gripes. Not deal-breakers, just dislikes: * When copying a file in the gui, a progress window doesn'

Thank you! This, along with my sibling replies, is some great information. Nothing that most of us couldn't accomplish without it, but it's going to save a lot of time. Multiplied by all the others that find it useful (I can&#x

I used to support a product with a similar fix. We had a bunch of desktop PCs in the field that were only used from January through April of each year, and usually powered-down the other eight months. Apparently, after several months of no

I get the same result (the calculator), but it consistently takes 5 seconds for the calculator to appear with the result. There's also no side card on the right side or search results underneath the calculator.

That looks really nice. When I clicked the link, I wasn't expecting a good looking page and all of those docs, it was a nice surprise. I look forward to checking it out :)

I was going to say "Man, that'd be terrible to work with!" And immediately realized I'm no different than those 8088 guys in that class :) You work with what you have.

When I was about 14 I was enthralled with programming my new Commodore 64, first in BASIC, then 6510 assembly. I had the opportunity to accompany my mother to a one-day class on programming. Being just an intro on the subject, I was well

Agree 100%. Mine is a mid-2009 (MBP 15" x64 Core 2 Duo), but with an SSD and 8GB, it still runs perfectly fine. It's not a Retina screen, but it's good enough that I don't notice pixelation. It's still my daily dr

If I remember correctly, the senators were originally not elected, but chosen by the state to represent the states' interests, while only the representatives were elected to represent the people's interests. That's why the n

I agree. When I initiate an action like "delete" and a dialog pops up, my mind is already assuming it's asking the question "Are you sure?" regardless of what the text says, and my eyes are just scanning for a &quo

Doesn't matter to me what he got paid. If he wanted royalties, too, he should have negotiated that into the agreement, and he probably would have been paid even less of an upfront amount. He's not the one exposing himself to

I still keep holding out for the MBP that probably won't appear (with lots of ports and a magsafe charging connection, and while I've never tried the newest keyboard, I love my current one). My current MBP is a mid-2010 (2009? ma

I actually miss the 3D view. Anyone know why it was discontinued? I imagine it was simply too expensive in dev-hours to maintain compared to the benefit.

One of the ways can be through poetry. Since many poems tend to include rhymes, the pronunciation of a word can sometimes be gleaned by comparing it to its rhyme pair (there's probably an actual word for that). Of course, that presup

Yeah, it felt it a little weird that my first response was to look for a fixed-width version I could try in my editors.

I did that very thing and it's working out nicely. Bought a big box of bulk socks. I haven't even opened half the pairs after two years. And that was the only mistake: I should have opened all of them and dumped them into a FIFO

That'd be cool, but as it returned closer to Earth, wouldn't the tides resume and start the cycle all over again? (Assuming the oceans are still present and liquid, of course.)

I'm kind of curious about the "suivi", too :) I assume it was a typo, and not the French word for "followed" (from what Google tells me, anyway), since that didn't make any sense either.

That's pretty cool, bookmarked :) I also like the design of the site. Well done! Do enough people take off the day after Thanksgiving that it's considered a holiday? I don't get Black Friday off unless I specifically reque
