Are there any other successful examples, esp with Microsoft? Halo seems like a wildly popular outlier.

Scott DesJarlais fits into the category of politician preaching what he doesn't believe. Also probably the most disliked man in Washington.

Because the user-created playlists seem rather low-quality. Half the "indie" playlists appear to have bland mainstream radio music. Maybe I'm not the target audience for these apps, but friends, 4chan, Pitchfork and Spotify s

Somewhat offtopic, but why is there an obsession with music discovery services? Soundcloud has its own niche in terms of sharing and usage, but other services like 8tracks and Slacker seem rather unnecessary. Is it that hard to discover new

New players to chess are introduced to classical and Romantic games from the 1800s, and while I'm nowhere near very good, it seems harmful to show off these games as quality when they are often based on large inaccuracies. That being s

That's only /b/ though. Based on post numbers this is from /v/, but yeah, anyone can lie.

And yet everyone wants to equate the two. Personally I don't even think webdev should count as STEM at all.

Microsoft has done a good amount of interesting R&D.

I'm not a typographer, but I am pretty sure Helvetica looks nothing like Roboto at the size that appears on the phone. I've used both iOS and Android; I'm not just assuming they're different. Arial and Helvetica don&#x

Perhaps there is a market for a curl or git based lyrics downloader in the terminal.

After using vim for a while by recommendation of acquaintances, I decided to give Emacs a try on Windows and GNU/Linux. I've found that it's quite enjoyable, even though I'm too lazy to customize it extensively. It has a

As a Firefox user, I must say that these tests don't mean much considering web browsers are updated every day to week to month depending on the version used. Each browser wins at one point.

Is it against the TOS to download the font and host it on your own server? It's very simple to do even though they don't give instructions.

Anyone else disappointed in the Explore page's redesign? It's harder to navigate and they deleted the Languages portal.

I'm no feminist, but look up Mayer's background before making idiotic statements like that.

I tried Xerneas (new legendary) but it is still in the process of researching. Also, for those who haven't played pokemon in a while, it's much more than just type match-ups, no matter what the anime leads you to think. There is m

The commercial license is cheaper for 39+ systems than any other amount of systems. Seems like a bug.

All Abrahamic religions? Islam does not call it the tree "of knowledge" and pursuit of knowledge is encouraged (at least in Islam).

There's a certain euphoria I get when I see a different color on GitHub than the normal ruby, python, shell, and JS.

Don't mean to start a flame war, but I think this is a better approach than those "make an iPad app" camps for kids.

I think "mechanic" is a bad metaphor. We're talking about engineering here. I don't think I could doubt that a lot of programming jobs (webapps, etc) are not as interesting as a lot of electrical and mechanical engineeri

Don't mean to get dramatic, but what went wrong with Adobe? Don't they still have some of the best engineers in the world?

It would definitely seem less shady if the dev didn't copy iOS UI and icons. Still I downloaded it and hope to test it.

While I do think Marco is often arrogant, in this case it seems he's just expressing frustration at other landing pages that he's seen. I think we should cut him some slack.

>why not search in the address bar like chrome In Firefox at least, I've learned that the regexp isn't as fast if you type a search query in the URL bar. It takes slightly longer for the browser to decide if the text is a URL o
