I guess this is a valid point. It reminds those who've forgotten about it that it still exists and is still being worked on.

This persons reply shows another example of them clearly ignoring the users they are attempting to reach (the people of reddit). you can turn off the page you see before the inbox if you want by going to options. many people like this beca

I think this was a negative PR move. Did they really think coming on reddit and saying things like this would be beneficial? I don't see any evidence in this that they actually care about peoples feedback. They just keep getting defensive a

My experiences with it have been that it is less feature complete than ViEmu, but the author has been great at implementing things that I create a bug report about on the github for the project. So if you use it and you find something not w

It's not entirely about loving Visual Studio, it's mostly about VS being something you have to use.

I think they ignored the fact that people buy the Air because it's ultra thin and light. I mean, the Alienware they are comparing it to for example has a height of 1.29 inches whereas the Air is 0.11 to 0.68 inches. Then for weight the 11"

Not cheating, I just mean that it's usually recommended you tailor your resume (especially your objective, if you include this) to highlight your skills and interests relevant to what you're applying for.

Perhaps it would be beneficial to decide what specifically you most want to do. If your 5 months spent job searching have been you informing employers that you're willing to do anything and everything they don't take you serious because you

I'm torn. Sharing this with coworkers would help them boost productivity, but I'd have to hear them talk to themselves all the time.

This is pretty interesting. There are a lot of interesting projects and data analysis that come from analyzing tweets but the price tag seems far beyond what any of these would be willing to pay. Previously some serious time would be spent

Worth pointing out for those who don't read the article: These scans came from a far less powerful scanner that was used in a court house. The images that come from airport scanners are much more "revealing" than these. Though given that ju

I assume this is related to my point, though, that most people aren't going to college because they care about something but rather because they are expected to. They then wind up picking something easier somewhat at random and can't get a

In 2000, about 30 percent of 20- to 24-year-olds were working in jobs that did not require college degrees. By 2010, that percentage had risen drastically to almost 40 percent. 20-24? A lot of students are taking more than four years for

I guess I wouldn't complain about the policy to attempt to do this when initially filling seats but to have a forced policy is taking it too far. Especially when it causes cases like the man who was not allowed to sit next to his pregnant w

As others have mentioned, your post sounds like it could be minor depression. You mention being social and liking people. Perhaps your problem is that you're keeping yourself cooped up inside while programming so when you think about new id

For game development, I think it will diversify with the increasing ease of developing and selling indie games that do well. There are lots of languages getting perfectly good game development libraries that can definitely be used for the (

Python 2.7 is the newest 2.x release, so it's what I imagine most people who haven't taken the plunge to Python 3 would be using.

I was pretty excited to do some of this when I got home from work, but my preferred language (Python) is only supported in an ancient version (2.3.0). I wasn't sure when this version was released so I decided to look it up, 2.3.0 dates back

I still think that's missing the point. Publicly showing what percentage of a users submissions pass/fail is probably not desirable to the user. Keeping it private or using it for problem statistics is pretty cool, though.
