I find if/else to be more confusing than ternary operators. One of the reasons is that it always defines what the else clause is, while that usually doesn't happen when using if. I…

One thing that really annoyed me in some monospaced fonts with ligatures is the [] ligature, I never understood why would someone rather see a box instead of two brackets. I'm no t…

IDK how NLL's ACR works, but Android API doesn't expose audio output devices because it could lead to piracy issues, such as recording whatever is playing on Spotify. I don't think…

The point of exclusivity is creating a safe space for women; for men most spaces are safe spaces - I can assert that as a male. It doesn't mean, though, that we can deal with toxic…

What kind of projects you work on? I think I'd have some difficult coding on a machine with 2GB of RAM.

Example pictures are kind of small, hard to see the quality of the result. Also, I'd use this for a Kindle device, not an iPad, so it'd be also good to see how it looks in a Kindle…

How does it compare to PDFLower?

Arnold said he's got help from lots of people and it's very likely that most of them didn't get anything in return. Were these people adept of ethical egoism, none of them would've…

I'm a Sansei in Brazil, which essentially means most people think I'm Japanese while the Japanese think I'm not, so I've peeked both sides and I can tell you this: yes, childhood i…

Has anyone tried on Firefox? I'm running FF49 and in gen 50 it has less than 400 max score.

What about regenerative braking?

Paper says that "those in lambda group received no benefits in regard to [...] compiler errors". Really, would anyone expect lambdas to improve compiler errors? Also, isn't that a …

Very good, but needs a option for resizing. I've tried looking at monospaced fonts and couldn't see them at a size that a monospaced font would actually be used (default is huge).

I was excited until I reached the Windows Store part.

I've listened to a few pieces of audio in this Lit2Go and also had some mixed quality. This is a very good one: http://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/220/a-defence-of-free-thinking-in-... This…

"If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail". In C you have to build everything from scratch. If you need classes, hack some structs. If you need string concatenatio…
