Wouldn't that be hard to do with different keyboard layouts (like the ergonomic keyboards)? I can see that working for a single type of keyboard, but with different types it would become much harder.

What did ads ever do to you except provide you with free content?

Malware, some auto-play loudly, make me accidentally click on a link to their page with stupid tactics so I lose my place on the page, etc. Ads are good for allowing free content, but they've gotten too aggressive. If ads were simply images that load somewhere on the side of the screen I'd be okay, but they get in your face with their cheap tactics and make me hate them more.

Really? I don't have any problem reading the article, and I have both uBlock AND adBlock running.

While most of my work is done in Visual Studio, any web work is definitely done in Atom. It's just a better version of Sublime IMHO.

Not only do they most likely know about it, but probably found a way to fix it for the most part. The phone that they were trying to get into was an older model anyway.

Maybe they implemented their suggestion inbox as a stack, rather than a queue!

We have these "standing desks" that have electronic extending legs, so the user can just press a few buttons on the small control panel to raise/lower the desk to a comfortable height.

It's basically the same as any mainstream/popular website where people go to get questions. After sites get popular, you get the people who start to go there simply to get internet points, and don't really care if they're actually helping or not. From my experience, if I can't find a question that was previously answered, I'm not posting my question there. Depending on the question/language you ask in, you can get some really poor answers, but sometimes I've seen those extremely good ones.

ZDNet

albeit simplified -- software development can be carried out by almost anyone with only a little technical know-how.

Well, if by simplified you mean undocumented, horribly indented, clunky software with more security holes than an caveman's computer, than yeah.

I pay almost $60 for about 20mbps on a good day. I'm lucky enough to have a provider that isn't Comcast or TWC (although they're not much better). Some people in the cities pay ridiculous amounts for like 50mbps. I'm not sure 150mbps would even be considered.

Didn't they do the same thing with the "round seated" plane design? I'm assuming it's an idea that someone wrote on a paper airplane and threw it, then they made a patent "just in case."

At the place I work, a lot of computers can barely even open non-approved executeables without specific privileges. A lot of the computer is locked down for specific users if they don't have a specific need to use a lot of things. They even let us install python to monkey around with, and I wasn't even able to run it outside of IDLE. Makes sense though, as it can prevent a lot of unapproved programs from running and loading the computer with viruses.

I've always seen mechanical engineering to be 1000 times harder for me than software programming. I guess it must have just been his cup of tea!

I've always noticed that people think I'm a complete jerk when I use punctuation, even though I'm younger. I either seem really smart, or a jerk.

I've had to use this knowledge before for an interview. They wanted me to explain how an array could be a constant lookup, and how they worked. This example is extremely good for just being able to understand how an array stores memory and how is accesses it.

Finders Keepers!

I'm always surprised after a day of doing nothing but focusing on work. It usually ends up being "I did that in a single day?!." Also when you concentrate, you're less likely to produce bugs by simply forgetting about what you're doing half-way through.

How about opposite? "I got this error message ... How do I fix it?" and don't show the code at all. Well, you might want to start with showing us the code that threw it!

I think this one can be a matter of wording for a lot of people. There are times where I'm simply looking for what an error code means, and what could usually cause it. Kinda like when I first ran into "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error, I was beginning and had NO IDEA what this even meant. I asked how to fix it, and I was given the fix without even being told what the error was. Lately, if I have an error code question, I just ask what might throw the error code, so I can learn to fix it on my own.

I have found that the "safe boot" mode that is on newer laptops is pretty good at preventing changes in the operating system. Upgrading to Win7 from Win8 was terrible, and going to Win10 from Win7 was almost impossible for me.
