I think it's more the "anti-fact" wing of the media (which does mostly overlap "conservative" on the Venn diagram). Unabashed alt-right agitprop outlets like Breitbart news, for instance, or climate change deniers.

Yes, I really want this too. All the existing ways I know to do this (shared filesystem NFS/smb/sshfuse, or shared screen PCoIP/VNC/RDP, or remote file editors like BBEdit, TextMate+rmate, etc) are all terrible to use in

This looks really cool and I am looking forward to it, but I spent a little too much time reading about it before realizing it won't be available[1] until sometime in the middle of next year (with a private beta starting sometime in Q1

A lot of people say that in the abstract, but I vividly recall a bunch of specific examples from my junior high school days in northern California. It was always a relief when certain older troublemakers that were regulars on the scene show

Why? Marijuana use may have some attendant health risks, but they are far lower than those of tobacco use (or alcohol use), across the spectrum.

The off-angle thing is definitely noticeable; it gets bluer the more you rotate the phone. However, I've only actually seen it happen when intentionally rotating the screen beyond anything I would normally do, to see the blue effect.

The Chrome --app switch doesn't work on Mac. FluidApp can't save passwords. MacPin looks interesting! Thanks, will check it out. However, Safari-based browsers have a horrible show-stopping flaw; they don't (yet) support past

Are you able to share any notable trimphs or tragedies that arose when using ng-upgrade to go from AngularJS 1.x → Angular 4? On a scale of absolute clusterfuck to divine epiphany, how did you find that process in general? Did you leave the

I agree with you. I came from a native app (macOS/iOS) background and joined the team maintaining an AngularJS app, and also worked on an Angular 4 app. I felt like Angular 2 was the Angular team repudiating all the mistakes they made

It's really coming along now with Swift 4, but it is still (of course) behind the Apple platforms. The "core language" pretty much works great on Ubuttnu, but there are still minor annoyances getting it installed, or building

Yes, of course they do try to influence the editorial agenda, and sometimes succeed at doing so. Other times, they don't. That's not control , however. The media collectively did indeed do a terrible job covering the 1991 Gulf wa
