Try Mass Effect

a) College isn't a vocational school. b) It should be free.

Windows updates broke your in-house mission critical application, but it should run just fine on Linux. /s

Why is it San Diego never makes these lists? Proximity to LA? Oakland's on there, and it's a lot closer to SF. Doesn't have a thriving tech scene like all of the others? Like Miami?

Don't be afraid to make mistakes, learn from them, and learn to recognize where you've made them.

> What's more disappointing for some Linux fans is the fact Dell still uses the Windows logo on the super key.

It's the first thing I look for and most often the first source of disappointment.

You can debug in Chrome (or any other browser). For node, you can run node-inspector which uses a browser for debugging.

Am I the only one that has been just fine with 8GB RAM? I'm running glassfish, IntelliJ, and serving JS over gulp. I have multiple browsers open with lots of tabs. I also have several other applications running. I have yet to notice a problem with RAM.

At the moment, 8, but pretty soon they'll want me to help out with Delphi again, and it'll be hell (1). I'll probably start searching for a new job then.

I wish I could just make my own sw and make money that way, but 1) I don't know what my product would be and 2) it's risky with kids and all. It'd be great to pick the technologies and environment and tools that I prefer.

do you have a ping pong table?

I paid about 5 years ago. I'd say I got my money's worth.

I don't know. I did a cursory google search and came up mostly empty-handed. LoadUI is supposedly JavaFX. It's such an outlier for UI/UX though.

What's wrong with JavaFX? I don't ever see it recommended, but a lot of us can do Java, and from my experience, it's way better than swing or awt.

Clinton conceded. She is not the one demanding an audit.

I really appreciate the thinness of my current MBP when I haul my previous MBP around. I wonder though, where's the limit on this move to thinness? At what point do they stop balancing it with the other things we like about these machines? I've already lost some travel in the keyboard. I'm not too excited about the newer keyboards with considerably less travel.

I'm installing it right now, and I'm getting admin access requests -- way more than I should.

My favorite new feature:

> Settings now open in a new window, with the default and user settings side-by-side

Pokemon Go is a game.

The point is, I don't see any reason why you can't make productivity programs for iPad or an Android tablet. There are plenty out there.

However, I wouldn't use an IDE on there because I prefer a laptop with a bigger screen and a good keyboard for dev work.

Have I seen ads? Yeah, but most of the ones I've seen are kind of hokey platitudes about the good they're doing for the world. I don't recall anything saying I'm higher class for having their products. I don't see a lot of ads though.

Part of marketing is guessing what kind of products will sell for the margins they like. Somehow, I fit into that audience.

>Are Apple devices really seen as a status device?

By people that don't understand why people would actually prefer an Apple device over the competition, certainly. It's one of the anti-Apple crowd's favorite narratives. We're all just sheep that buy into Apple's marketing.

What's the difference between running "apps" and "actually running programs"?

How does San Diego have poorer air quality than LA???

Not the OP, but removing the 2nd amendment doesn't make guns illegal. Cars are not constitutionally protected for example. But cars can more easily be regulated because imposing regulations on them doesn't bring us into a constitutional argument over the intentions of the founders regarding the individual's right to a car.

I've also been working on a notes solution. I've found Evernote's pestering to be very annoying. Apple's notes are fine, but I'd like to use my own editor sometimes. Quip is more complex than what I'm looking for.

Turns out there are a lot of notes apps/systems, and I've been wondering if working on this is a good use of my time.

Well the error page is interesting at least...

Unless you're doing JavaFX or something like that.

I'm thinking of client machines. People balk at installing Java these days. Is there a way to get the JVM without Java?

Is Kotlin not capable of being a client application?

I really liked Scala when I played around with it (bare with me here), but when deciding on what to use on a project I'm starting, targeting the JVM is a downside. Can I depend on the JVM being on the target machine? If not, I'll have to deal with the dependency. However, if I choose a compiled language like Rust, I don't have to worry about that.

How many guns were used to safely transport people on U.S. roads from one place to another?
