I'm not anti-pot whatsoever and would absolutely switch from booze to weed if given a chance but isn't it flat out wrong to say "little to no long term harm"? I'm not arguing that it's better than alcohol or xy

In my niche commercial industry almost all software is server-side software. Only now is everyone moving to the cloud - mostly as a way to collect data and generate some recurring revenue. So small businesses with a few devs now need to e

I doubt that. I'm somewhat familiar with AWS offerings and have used S3 for years. Actually creating a scalable SAAS offering correctly (emphasis on "correctly") is still a daunting task. Sure, I just created a CodeStar pro

I mean, I get what you're trying to say but in no way does a paid subscription "promise" they'll be around any longer than if they were free. Sometimes transitioning from free to paid can backfire and actually shorten t

Your logic doesn't make sense. I never said it was the onyl reason they don't or even that it was a BIG reason, just that it's one possible reason that may be a small percentage of the entire reason why it wouldn't make

...why not? I'm not saying it's the correct business decision and there are pros and cons. But if Nintendo released an official Virtual Console for PC, Android, iOS, etc. (not their own platform) it'd sell like hotcakes if

So do "Virtual Consoles" which are releasing more and more past games on different platforms and charging for it. I'm guessing if emulators weren't so rampant on the PC then companies like Nintendo would have or would t

I get it. Everyone, everywhere, is collecting data - whether it's CNN.com or Noiszy.com or Google Analytics. While you may be using Google Analytics for basic tracking of anonymous visitors, Google may be using it for "creepy ta

It's kind of funny their website includes TypeKit, SquareSpace, and Google Tag Manager scripts - all of which can (and probably are) tracking various things. They may not be connected to "you", may be anonymized, may be uniq

There are tasks that can be completed quicker with web frameworks and tasks that can be completed quicker without them. They aren't a solution for every task. I'm not sure why people struggle so much and fight abstractions so muc

You don't have to do anything to prepare. You don't have to move preemptively or worry about food production. Climate change is not a 80 year apocalyptic concern, you will be long gone before the dire consequences are reached.

It just doesn't go in my head how so many people have trouble understanding why things like VSCode or Atom are popular. They're sexy, they are powerful (extensions for everything), portable, and extremely easy to extend thanks to

Why wouldn't you compare games aimed at to similar audiences? And that analogy is pretty weak, I'd say Zelda is aimed at kids to adults, Witcher 3 aimed at teens to adults. I'd say it's more similar to Harry Potter vs.

I think he meant that it was created by a company for commercial reasons. Not that it contains a commercial or non-commercial license.

This is an API for very small datasets (daily time series data). The goal should be accessibility and readability over saving a few bytes. I'm not saying it's ideal, I just think the snark is unwarranted considering how common it

To be honest I think your post is more distracting than the one you're replying to (and likely mine more than yours). Complaining about lack of stock is a fair comment and I don't mind reading it. It also creates conversation ab

I don't get the snark - what's the glaring problem with the format? I work with sensor data at my job and very rarely is it uniformly distributed so we use a similar format.

Ag-grid is feature packed but also bloated. The minified size is something like 600kb - it's insane.

They're including everything from traffic violations to felonies. I guess it wouldn't be as interesting of a statistic if they explained what it actually was.

What's your point? The shooter claims self defense, willingly turned himself in, and the victim doesn't want to file charges. I watched some of the live streaming of the protests and it was pretty insane - not just "breaking

This is borderline "fake news". The driver was arrested for suspicion of being under the influence of a drug, yet the tests did not find any drugs. The defense seems to be claiming "he was arrested for caffeine" yet it

Right, but what % of those people in poor/developing countries have the internet access and knowledge to securely manage a Bitcoin attack?

No, from day one people have been sniffing Echo traffic to see if it sends any non-triggered data. It does not.

This isn't about left or right, it's about a CEO censoring opinions that he doesn't agree with. If it helps you understand, pretend he censored Hillary or Bernie supporters.

by watty 10y ago
Calling people you disagree with "trolls" and dismissing censoring as just "trolling" is a poor attempt at an apology. And that's coming from someone who hates /r/the_donald.

Just because one of his goals is to drive competition into the race to mars doesn't mean it's his only goal. I don't doubt he not only wants to speed up the race to mars but wants to be known as the first.

I don't know, if it's similar to any of the GearVR demos I've tried it'll be a neat 10 minute or so of excitement, nothing more.

I've got a GearVR with Galaxy S6 and the display is adequate. Not one of the 6 or so people I've let try it have wanted to vomit. No one is stopping you from running with your own WebVR platform, my guess is that it's not an
