I got a bunch of replies and some upmods. I hadn't expected people's experiences to be so the same! Among my friends, I'm the first-turned-dad, so this sharing of experiences is something that doesn't happen off-line.
Implying that men don't have the neural circuitry required for parenting is as retarded as implying that women don't have the neural circuitry required for mathematics.
Heh that brings back memories, and not the good ones. I can't count the times the wife said something on the lines of: "I am the mother, so obviously I know best." The first half year after our baby girl was born, I had to really fight for my half of fatherhood.
Society nowadays expect you to do your half of the parenting, but when that time comes, your wife's instincts might take over and decide it would be much better if you just followed her orders.
Here in the Netherlands we have a similar law. However, it's commonly accepted that a battery is something that is consumed. Similar to tires or what have you. I think you were unreasonable.
God, yes. Finally we'd depart from the decades-old way of building laptops with custom-everything. I'd love to see that whole laptop-space commoditized.
If it runs some version of desktop Linux, this could be an awesome desktop. With a built-in UPS and a backup 3G network connection. You'd never shut it down because it's so focused on power savings that it's not really worth it. It would run off a standard USB charger.
It would be great if you could upgrade the CPU and 3D graphics to something tablet or desktop-ish. I could envision a chassis/case that has the standard Project Ara backplane, but mounted below a fan. Bonus points if you can overclock the CPU.
Heh yeah I tried installing that on my Mac. Intelli-J even offers a nice installation as a plugin. First, it simply didn't start and it turns out that the plugin installation will install an old version. Okay then I'll download it manually. That installed a kernel driver which crashed my OSX laptop.
I gave up and continued using the dog slow emulator.
My first job involved Java and I used Eclipse for that. In the meantime, I spot another job which involves C++, Python and Objective-C. Recently I wanted to quickly hammer out an Android app and I was pleasantly surprised by Android Studio. In three days, I got a basic five-screen app running to display a JSON-pooping web service.
It works like you expect a modern IDE to work. And that's all I needed.
he didn't have a good way to backup that much data
But he did. Another RAID array of the same size would have sufficed. Oh, now I see what you mean. He didn't want to spend the money on a good way to backup that much data.
It's still awesome as a 30-year-old:) I'm playing with a bunch of people who work in the same building as I do. We usually play every two weeks. Sometimes it's old-school AD&D, sometimes the newer 3.5. It's amazing to just forget a bit about work, wife and kid, and play the hammer-wielding cleric.

Thanks for sharing :)

ROTFL! I'd mod you up if I had points :D
yes. If this takes of I would expect laptops

find it a lot easier to communicate with people
That's because from your standing desk, you look down on them. THEY ARE YOUR MINIONS, TO DO AS THEY ARE COMMANDED TO DO!
Hybrid drives are stupid
Apple seems to disagree with you.
I second the choice for copy.com. Basically the biggest free storage you can get.
That's pretty damn funny
Why would you comment if your experience is too old to be relevant?
It's more an OS than an editor.

I totally agree here. Compared to Xcode, development for Android is nowhere as slick.
But still, I managed to hammer out a simple (Java-based) app with a minimum of fuss. And I didn't need to screw around with Gradle.

Another issue entirely :-)
Yeah bunch of wankers :-P
Move to Evernote. It can import OneNote, AFAIK.
"Motion charging".... hehehehe.... yeah I bet they test that a lot at Apple.
LOL... first you fully commit yourself to a Microsoft-only product, then you talk about "keeping me on Windows".
Yeah I actually meant Pathfinder, thanks. I'm not DM'ing and for some reason, other people bump into the shortcomings but never me :)

D&D was awesome as a 20-year-old

RAID doesn't protect against user stupidity like backup does.
Or software bugs. I've had Microsoft Word corrupt documents multiple times. I've also seen corrupted iTunes and Picasa databases.
If it's a properly network-isolated setup, who gives a fuck how old the security is?
There's more infection vectors besides the network.
Sounds great, keep it up. Be sure to ship it as soon as possible.
Someone once said "if in hindsight you're not ashamed of what you shipped, then you waited too long".
