deadcast··on Google 'mic drop' Gmail joke for April Fools' day backfires
I'm starting to wonder if the whole thing was just faked. That would be good.

Fools day in April sucks. I haven't even got mic dropped yet ;_;
deadcast··on Microsoft and Canonical partner to bring Ubuntu to Windows 10
You still have not provided any specific reasons for "why" you believe Visual Studio/.NET is overkill for web development. I would like to actually know because I am curious.
deadcast··on Windows 7 computers are automatically starting the Windows 10 upgrade
Whoa very cool! Never heard of rdesktop before but I'll definitely check it out. Thanks!
deadcast··on The Search for the Perfect To-do List
Yeah that solution still works just fine for me. Also just using a plain text file works well too.
deadcast··on Left-pad as a service
I'm working on it now. All plans will be free except if you want to use negative numbers. AWS will charge me more for 1 + (-1) as opposed to a 1 + 1 operation.

No worries! ^_^

Haha actually that is the case! I need to use Unity and the latest Linux build[1] doesn't yet have all of the features like in the latest version 5.3.3 for Windows/OSX. It's still experimental but now that I think of it... I might not need all of the features in the latest release, hmmm.

Also I need Remote Desktop Connection to do some contract work. I know other non-Windows remote desktop applications exist but I'm currently stuck with what their IT department will give me. :)

EDIT: Thinking more about the remote desktop connection. I could just use a Windows VM on Linux. Dang, that never crossed my mind before.

Haha yeah! I really can't wait until I can do ALL of my day-to-day dev work on a Linux OS. Soon though... very soon...

I highly doubt that the people on Reddit and HN are just making this up. It's not like an "Automatic Update" is that remarkable of a claim. Forbes[1] a few days ago and others recently wrote about this very issue. So far it seems like a pretty real problem. Sucks it's messing with so many. :/

deadcast··on Caffeine use disorder
Interesting. How did you determine that there were not other factors at play that caused the outcome of the one prisoner who drank coffee to live longer?

Also, this is supposed to be a joke, right? :~)

deadcast··on YouTube now shows "An error has occurred" while ads running
I use uBlock Origin and youtube appears to still be fine for me. Maybe Google is targeting AdBlock first and then they'll start trying to detect others maybe? I guess this all depends if they're actually indeed penalizing people for blocking ads in the first place.
deadcast··on Can we guess your age and income, based solely on the apps on your phone?
haha yep :~). I'm baffled why it thought I was single because I use soundcloud. I know people who are married/dating who use that app. Why would that be an indicator of relationship status?
deadcast··on Study Finds No Gender Gap in Tech Salaries
haha I was just thinking about that video :~) (up vote)
deadcast··on Show HN: I've been writing daily TILs for a year
Wow cool idea! I've kind of already been doing something like this but posting little code snippets to my twitter account for later reference. I like the idea of creating a repo like the OP and not having to spam my followers with my random, crappy code! :~) Cheers!
