  • There are definitely still shareholders, they're just private.

  • I'm right there with you. It's nice to know it's been there if I needed it. I don't find myself there very often anymore and when I do it's often to compare official docs to other ways to approach something or because the getting started section of the official docs felt weird or wrong.

  • Where the hell are you getting all that for a hundred bucks? I don't even think you could get that kind of meal at Chili's for that price.

  • Absolutely. That's a fantastic way to do the "copy/paste" I definitely think it helps when learning new language.

  • Good luck!

  • The reality is that you can't. So accept that going in and realize your learning will be iterative.

    You'll be overwhelmed, that's OK. Copy paste code until you get something working. Here's the key. At that point stop, go back and understand the code you copied, why it works, and then try to rewrite it differently now that you know what worked.

    Metaphor for writing. Start with a quote, then paraphrase it. Do that enough and you'll start to be able to adlib and come up with your own solutions.

  • People that pay the tax on gasoline.

  • Windows phone keyboard was leaps and bounds ahead of iOS and Android. I still miss that keyboard. Swiftkey on android just isn't the same.

  • Can you read data off a floppy disk today? How many others can? How many in fifty years can? The point is that left alone our physical media of today is not compatible in the future because you need specialty tools to read it.

    Anyone can pickup and read a piece of paper or a rock with carvings in it. The point is that not only does the media need to survive, but the means to make use of it needs to survive as well.

    That is the key issue with technology today. Someone needs to keep loving the data from floppy to zip drive to thumb drive to hard drive to whatever is next or it's lost.

  • Werfel noted that the IRS' strategic plan over the next three tax years include a sharp increase in audits, although the agency reiterated it won't boost its enforcement for people who earn less than $400,000 annually — which covers the bulk of U.S. taxpayers.

    Saved you a click.

  • That accurately describes the state we're in today, it is that way (requiring trucks for a significant leg of the "last mile") due to the incredible amount of subsidizing being done for road maintenance.

    Imagine if we were subsidizing rail infrastructure for freight and passenger service.

  • I would argue that devs getting 500k in stocks are at least decent at negotiating and other soft skills.

    You don't get that kind of compensation for just having tech chops.

  • it's not like it will auto-delete.

    You're probably right it won't, but it definitely could be done by Apple and Google.

  • Some might even call that invention a train.

  • There are enough people working this problem that we can realistically aim for both and capitalize on incremental improvements in each area along the way.

  • I fail to see the distinction:

    story >> book (paper) == own

    story >> movie (DVD) != own

    That doesn't add up. I realize this post is more about streaming than physical discs, but the point remains.

  • Proton drive has windows and Android clients that work well. I'd love a Linux client for drive and for them to fix the photo upload issue on android, but eventually those things will come.

  • True, but then you get that fantastic four on four play which is wildly more hectic and entertaining.

  • It definitely doesn't look like the same game I grew up watching. That's for sure.
