    A brief explanation of what some of these are doing, or moreover, a use case for why I would want to use them would be handy.

    You have the right to say anything you want, you do not have the right to say it in my home. I don't understand how there are so many people that don't understand FOS.

    If programming is poetry, then I write limericks for a living.

    Currently using atom and it's package system for a POC for a custom dumbed down editor. I'm really surprised at how much I've managed to accomplish in a week. If we go through with…

    I don't have an active social media presence attached to my real name because I like my privacy. To imply that makes me lacking, is simply ignorant.

    No, you're perfectly capable of eating people. Assuming they didn't contain poisons of pathogens that can resist cooking temperatures.

    You can't access that which doesn't exist.

    Nothing stops Ontario from buying from B.C. or other existing culrivators of medical marijuana. Scaling these operations, and looking to Colorado as a model, will take a year or so…

    International legal council, lawsuits, fines, and the free fares offered in some areas probably eat into the runway quite quickly.

    I wouldn't recommend linux if your parents keep getting malware. Wipe the PC, and set yourself up as the admin. Create a base user account for your parents, and RDP in to their mac…

    And it should. Seriously, there are are less than 2% of users using Linux on the Desktop. Now a fraction of these users dual boot. Microsoft is a business, and it's bad business to…

    In order to be accepted as anything other than an anecdote, you would require a much more rigorous study with a LOT more people and a much higher level of scrutiny. We would want t…

    Hardly, just because alcohol is socially accepted doesn't mean it's not a drug. Alcohol and heroine are considered the most harmful drugs out there. It's an apt comparison.

    I'd suggest a conflict of interest makes his results suspect.

    That's ridiculous. I hope we smarten up as a society soon.

    Then don't read it, don't up vote it, and move on. You aren't adding to the conversation.

    Just curious, possession of what? And how much?

    I'm just curious, have we had an instance where a quadcopter has caused the crash of a commercial aircraft? I've seen birds filleted by tiny copters, and I can't help but feel this…

    I wouldn't recommend this. I have over 15 years as lead dev experience, and this isn't good advice. This tells your team that your time is more valuable than their contribution. No…

    It is indeed irony. "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result." I find it ironic that you didn't bother …

    I don't know enough about American law to understand this comment. Is there something in the constitution about fizzy beverages not being taxable? That seems unlikely, though very …

    Yea, I totally agree. My Commodore 64 didn't even know what to do with the game. Pretty sad indeed. I don't understand why developers choose to go after markets of majority, rather…

    Yea, it forces you to use the vim bindings. This is advantageous, since your hands don't leave the home row. It seems minor, but when you actually "get" vim, you'll actually see sp…
