Normally I use gitg, but for some reason on one project it wasn't working correctly so I was using VS Code to do the commits. I have definitely highlighted a couple of files and clicked discard rather than stage by accident. Luckily I still had them open in Sublime Text, so I could just undo and save them again, but still, would be nice if this were harder to do.
Agreed. I use a different password on every site I have an account for, yet I often use the same email address as a login. If all of those sites forced me to change my password when one of the sites was breached, it would be a huge hassle for essentially nothing.
Could see smartphone manufacturers implementing the ability to set a different password, which when entered loads a "boss" mode view of the device while it secure wipes in the background.
I use the exact same setup. $35 for a Chromecast 2, Plex software on pc is free, plex app (for streaming on chromecast) is free. I run into a few hiccups sometimes with weirdly encoded anime, but for the most part it's completely problem free.
Prior to this, I've use PS3MediaServer, and other servers that produce something the PS3 can consume. I tried a Roku 3 for a week and hated it. Way back when I use SMS on a modded PS2, which worked surprisingly well!
Considering Pandora bought out rdio, and rdio was (IMHO) the best streaming site out there, I'm actually a little excited to hear that they are actually planning to do something. If it were a relaunch of something comparable to rdio, and it were available in Canada, I'd subscribe in a heartbeat.
I upgraded pretty much as soon as it was available (I should probably at some point do a full format and reinstall to get rid of all the windows 8/8.1 baggage), and can really say that there's nothing too special about it. I don't see ads. It has a start menu, but I very rarely use it. The Windows app style media player is pretty crappy, so I still use Media Player Classic. I don't use cortana, and haven't bothered to turn off any of the privacy features. I HAVE had to uninstall a few errant windows store apps, but it's as easy as right clicking the start menu -> remove.
All in all, I'm totally fine with it.
My father in law has a Samsung desktop computer he picked up cheap at staples (was obviously a rebranded Korean model). I upgraded it to Windows 10 a few months ago and it's been problem free. Maybe this is only for Samsung laptops?
Is this another one of those cases where they're trying to convince people that "shipments" == "sales"? I remember game companies were doing this for a while, before people started to wise up to the fact that they were just talking about games on shelves in stores, not actual sales.
Since I'm a gamer, I'll talk about what I would have changed with modern controllers:
No clicky d-pads or buttons. These have started to show up on modern consoles and handhelds. Not only is the audible "click" annoying, but it also feels unnatural, when controlling a player character.
Standardized 4 button layout. I'd say go with the Super Nintendo layout, because it was first. Sony had to make up symbols instead, and then Microsoft uses a bastardized Super Nintendo format (which Valve chose to adopt, though this made sense given most PC games expect a 360 controller, even though everyone I know uses a PS3 controller...). Don't even get me started on the OUYA. Since pretty much all controllers have the same components and layouts, they should have the same button naming conventions.

This is just some fake controversy to try to convince more people to use it.

I can guarantee that "Twitch" would play it.
