My understanding is that they're trying to make it so, while plugged in and fully charged, the battery doesn't get needlessly damaged. The right option would be to just power the phone from the mains instead of from the battery charged by the mains, like laptops do.
What is this chat you're speaking of? I don't see too many people on IRC. Perhaps you mean something as backward as Skype? No thanks.
Anyway, sorry but mail and mailing lists still are very relevant. I'll miss GMane dearly myself and wouldn't mind donating a few grands to keep it alive. It's still the best format for discussion with people in open-source and other projects.
You must be living under a rock. Games have been getting worse since the mid-2000, now they're all the same uninspired action/press-A-to-be-awesome games targeting a casual audience. The Japanese are the only ones with any creativity and personality, and among them only Nintendo has mass appeal, in part because their US division is mismanaged and spends all of its money on marketing for kids.
At the latest E3, the biggest video game convention worldwide, Nintendo only had one game while competitors had 20 or 30 each: Zelda for Wii U and NX. Yet they easily got the whole world much more excited than American studios presenting all their rehashes of Call of Duty and Battlefield.
I see you do not understand what a mobile app is. There is no real logic in the app, it's just UI for a web service. The UI is target-specific, in particular because it needs to respect platform-specific idioms and UX paradigms, and the UI is 100% of the app.
You're coming from the world of real applications which do real work and for which the UI is just a trivial interface driving a library. This is not what mobile is.
Employment is a contract you consented to. It defines a set of rules you need to abide to, otherwise you have a breach of contract. Breaching a contract is a bad idea, and exposes you to being sued and having to pay ccompensation.
If the charge is cancelled by the bank, just cancel the validity of the code as well. The only problem is that they probably didn't design their code system to allow this, but that's their own fault. It's not rocket science.
The article uses scans (not even properly levelled, cropped and aligned) even though the document is available in digital form. What a bunch of amateurs.
Maybe they find professionalism in editing as funny as philosophing about the Internet.
I think that's a good analogy, but I wouldn't say that the communication protocol is worthless and not subject to copyright.
As a professional software developer, I've found that the most difficult thing to do is to come up with the right interface; designing the right software architecture is much more challenging than implementing algorithms. Copyright applies to interfaces as well, regardless of what Google would like.
It's not half as fast neither nor 2000 times as parallel. Are you just saying random stuff out of your ass?
For double precision, a single Xeon CPU is 500 Gigaflops, while a Pascal GPU is 4 Teraflops (possibly lower for those cards, which are gamer models optimized for single precision). In practice though, servers use two Xeon CPUs, so the GPU offers you something that is 4 times faster in peak computing power.
Another complication is that, while it's not too complicated to reach close to the max on CPUs, it's very hard to do so on GPUs, in part due to the limited programming model and also due to the tools that are not as good. You should be happy if you can make your code run 2 to 3 times faster on a GPU.
People just pay 25% sales tax on all goods regardless of how you buy them and it's part of the displayed price, not something that gets charged on top.

If micro-USB can't supply enough power, just move to USB-C or something.

They do ask for interest.
Smart people choose their employer based on the project they'd be assigned and the technology they'd work with.
People use smartphones as mobile Internet terminals.
Making calls is so last century.

I got a 1070 24 hours after I ordered it from Nvidia.
Take a look at the guy and his trophy wife. He must have tens if not hundreds of millions.
A couple millions for a funny project? Why not.

why are you playing a port of a PC game? This doesn't make sense.

What makes you think x86 is not already Alpha under the hood?
Having more bad coders with no proper understanding of computers is just what we need.

Definitely. Integration is methodical, a computer can do it.
Geometry is much more abstract.
I like how that actually looks like Doom, unlike this new game.
I don't understand your argument, geometry is one of the most difficult mathematical fields, much more difficult than calculus.

If you had actually used systemd, you'd know it makes your services more reliable, not less.

Except that a GPU is not 1000 times faster than a CPU.
Sales tax is fair and taxes everyone the same.
Basics such as food have lower taxes too.
