The code I wrote in my first job is probably still used, but I don't remember any features I worked on. The code I wrote that will be running the longest is code I've contribute to Emacs. User-facing features are unlikely to be re

apostrophe starts quick find, but only searches link text . So in your comment, typing 'gif would only select the text in the link; it wouldn't find as a result the "Gif" earlier in that sentence. And with either, F3

The extension is written in Arc? That's...not a use of Arc I expected. Did you have to change the language much to do it?

I wonder how this compares to airplanes -- when the first commercial airlines came into existence, did people complain that they weren't able to fly the plane? What about autopilot?

How do you unsubscribe from certain topics? Would you have to email your friend and ask him or her to not tell you about politics? There's a whole lot of social pressure that means people are reluctant to do that.

Sounds awful. It's a push model on someone else's terms. Think of it this way -- would you want someone else deciding how often you'd look at their web page?

I think it also caused bad behavior. I found myself not wanting to reply to people's comments if the post was old, as my comment would be less likely to be upvoted, and my average score would go down. This is an example of how people t

I just got a System76 machine (a Lemur; their 14" machine: https://system76.com/laptops/lemur ), and I haven't seen any dropped keystrokes. I wonder if the keyboard problems are specific to one model.

This is from 2013; I believe Ubuntu no longer sends your search terms to Canonical by default. There's still a pre-installed Amazon program, but you have to manually open it.

You might want to be more descriptive in what you want. Do you want to hire someone to come in to your office to do this? Do you want emailed advice on how to do it? Do you have specific technical questions? You'll probably get better

I don't find this especially convincing. Some of the issues here are reasonable things to look at; some aren't. >1) I am surprised that there are only 20x more PRs by men. I would say it’s more like 100-200x more men on GitHub

As Jesse mentioned, you can't do this. The reason is because each key is formed differently. For example, look at the N key here: https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/003/972/304/567c71457a35a77... . Se

From criticisms I've read of freezing a brain by infusing it with aldehyde, it destroys things necessary for brain function, such that it will be impossible to bring a brain frozen this way back in the future. P.Z. Myers^1 has said ( h
