I use it regularly but there still seems to be a lot of stability/GUI issues, especially when using a lot of packages. I feel a lot is missing natively but I'm comparing to Notepad++ which has a lot of utility functions by default

I think this only holds true if needs (or perhaps, desires) remain completely static. If standard of living never increases and what we want to do with resources never increases. If you want to compare Moore's law, technically the 5khz

Thank you for that, I was very misled by the title. Can you possibly explain this one bullet point in the text? (Only mention of a non-accredited investor). "A limitation on the amount of securities non-accredited investors can purchas

Pretty neat, just made a small donation. I think it would be cool to see real-time statistics and various metrics. Like how much has been given (regularly updating). What goals there are to reach people in certain priority levels, like 45%

That's a good observation. I wonder how it works for multiple objects that are significantly smaller than 1TB. If I'm streaming one at 4MBps and then after a bit, decide to start another object download, does the original slow to

Does it happen to help with the attitude or process of cooking? It's probably the bachelor mentality in me but I honestly just hate cooking. The amount of time (purchase food, prep, cook, clean pots/pans) for a 5 minute meal when

Disclaimer: I'm in a medium sized city in the midwest that has developer jobs but none for large corporations that sell software, so my advice here may be a bit skewed. Co-ops/internships: this is where you get your real experienc

I think the metrics idea for developing may have value, but I also feel you could start to answer some of these questions simply by asking the developers. We tend to know if we're all of a sudden spending our time just on bug fixing. O

As a web developer who knows enough Linux to do minimum dev-ops, could anyone recommend some things worth playing around with in FreeBSD? Like "do this and see how easy it is vs Ubuntu!". Or are the gains more long term like bette
