    There are 2 major assumptions with your argument: 1) That the pesticides/fungicides are bad for humans. You haven't shown that. Some fungi are bad for humans, so it might be better…

    I agree. And most art these days involves quite a bit of science. Photoshop's image processing algorithms aren't just sloppily thrown together, for example! It takes a lot of scien…

    I find web fonts so annoying, along with images that don't load until you scroll to them. I usually read in Reader mode, and it takes the loaded page and re-renders it without web …

    So this seems to be the problem. You're definition of Pro includes "all the ports". The author's definition of Pro includes "avoid HDMI, SD slot, Display Port". It can't both have …

    If you're doing video editing with FCPX and/or Motion, those dual GPUs in the MacPro help a lot!

    I concur. Not to mention, this code wouldn't pass the automatic static analysis we use for all commits to our repository, so it literally would never come up as is. We turn on "war…

    Nobody's saying you can't test their ability to program. You can ask questions about programming without having them solve some problem from freshman data structures class. You can…

    For some reason that makes it way worse in my book. It isn't some scumbags running a sketchy website you were tricked into clicking on - it's the very people you've entrusted to gi…

    This is a really cogent description of what I've felt about fit for a while but was unable to articulate. It's also written in an non-combative way.

    My impression from having tried it briefly is that it's not great at real-time stuff because of its lazy evaluation. Do you find that to be true, or is that not an issue in real li…

    So if I'm in a private session and clicking the link in my email opens a new page in a different session, then I can't reset my password? That's lame. I've even had a situation whe…

    I've got a hybrid method that works pretty well for me. May not be for everyone. I have: L1 cache - stuff on my desk that needs to be paid or read in the next 30 days. L2 cache - B…
