We may be unable to provide a concrete definition of what intelligence is, but we can certainly provide definitions for what it isn't. E.g. we don't need a concrete definition of i…

Obligatory comment that Gmail has a basic HTML view that is substantially faster and less resource intensive, but not as pleasant to use: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/ It loa…

Ignoring your insults, I think there are many valid use cases for smart home devices. For example, automatically turning lights on and off on a schedule, changing light color to re…

Paul was among the top philanthropists in America, and has contributed so much to society. Truly a sad day

My company uses GitLab and I think the CI is fantastic, especially compared to Jenkins, Travis, Circle, etc. It's very easy to setup, incorporated into the rest of our workflows, i…

Something to consider, VS Code being free means it will eat into IntelliJ's marketshare, even without all the features of IntelliJ. They'll be the people who need the advanced feat…

1. They only have four tiers (four equivalent tiers for hosted and on-premise technically). This is quite reasonable, as they need to provide flexibility for their customers. They …

I prefer VS Code over native alternatives. Don't conflate your anecdotal evidence with facts. Many users don't know much RAM a process consumes or what an Electron app is, they jus…

Well that's just not accurate. With our Electron app, the main process consumes 40mb of RAM, with each window using 30mb of RAM, so if you have a windowed app, thats a minimum of u…

a) you can disable it via the preference browser.tabs.remote.warmup.enabled b) some users will like this feature. they aren't cheating at making it faster, it actually is faster fo…

We get around the shared folder performance problem using NFS. Adds one extra step to setup (mount a network share), but we've never had performance issues with it.

This tends to be over-used though. Unfortunately some employees would continue making $500,000 mistakes and never learning. It really depends on the employee's attitude and respons…

Personally I have no interest in moving away from Google Search, as I specifically use them because Google learns from previous searches I've made and shows me more relevant result…

It's not up to par with Chrome Dev Tools, but something to keep an eye on is https://github.com/devtools-html/debugger.html (a project run by Mozilla). This has the benefits of bei…

Genuinely curious, can you expand on why that power strip is bad, and who exactly would shut down the brick and mortar store?

I kind of wish you could merge or rebase as part of the "Update Branch" feature. I don't allow merging master into the feature branches for any project I manage, I insist that deve…

I mean, that's kind of goes without saying, doesn't it? No game engine will make your game magically look awesome if you don't have the budget for art assets and don't have an arti…

They specifically publish upgrade notes at the bottom, so that helps (as many changes won't break your project). I'm only working on a small hobby project, but I read the bulk of t…

They aren't, they are hand created. They talked about it on the live stream a few times. Definitely doesn't match up with the commits from what I can see either. They have a couple…

The UE4 codebase is very well built and organized for the most part (some legacy code is a mess). Even the community has managed to add quite a few large features to the engine, so…

It worked really well for me. I started on a project that had no documentation, no setup scripts, and nobody I spoke to knew how to get it setup. Everyone kind of just got it worki…

I added logic to mine to check for a .noprompt file and disable the git part of my bash prompt as I generally want it enabled, but a few large repos are too slow with it. You could…

Flash is a closed source binary plugin with a long history of security vulnerabilities that Adobe was slow to patch. For the most part, JavaScript engines are open source, don't ha…
