I had the exact opposite experience! I have never had such a positive experience with a programming community of any sort as I have with the Rust community. I have never seen an open source project put so much thought and effort into the community side of things. Because of my interaction with the community, I ended up contributing a couple patches and giving two talks about Rust at a conference this last week.
Er, what? I've been using Unreal Engine for 2 years now. The entire time I have been told, by the engine itself and the folks around it, that there is no Wii U support. I have certainly not observed any.
Sooo...when did this mystical Wii U support come into being and how can I find it?
I have been on a treadmill desk for 4 years now. I highly recommend the standing up part, but not the treadmill part, and probably not for the reason you think. Does walking make it hard to type/think? Not really, not for me. It's the walking posture that's the problem. The real problem with the treadmill is that with your shoulders locked facing forward to type and use the mouse, your walking posture gets really poor. I have hurt my calves several times due to the awkward way I have been walking (not swinging my arms and rotating my shoulders like I should, for example). If you can go hands-free the whole time, it may be great for you, but I am personally switching to a Fluidstance level (ordered it a couple months back, should arrive soon...I hope). Just standing and you tend to "stand hard", leaning on your joints in a way that gets painful. You need to keep shifting your weight around to really make it work well.

It's not impossible at all -- Spartan is a copy of the IE engine code, repackaged as a Metro app and will be updated on an ongoing basis through the Windows App Store model. Anything that doesn't work in that space like ActiveX/COM, Browser Helper Objects, etc. are all stripped out.
IE11 will also remain in Windows 10, with good ole' MSHTML.DLL and all that other cruft that developers (and parts of Windows itself) have been taking hard dependencies on for 15+ years. It will receive security updates, performance improvements and so on, but it will not be updated at the pace of Spartan.
Maybe shipping two browsers with the OS will upset some people, but this should actually work out pretty nicely.
Intriguingly, I cannot tell whether you mean to be serious, funny, or sarcastic. I simply don't know enough about windows to tell...
I think that "anonymous reader" is a hypocrite. I believe it is "stupid" and "hateful" to call someone stupid and hateful for sharing their personal belief that homosexuality is damaging to the nation.
I'm sick of the heterophobia and hypocrisy that's so popular in the media these days. "If you don't believe that homosexuality is a normal thing that's absolutely wonderful for everybody then WE ATTACK YOU!...but don't you dare attack us. That violates our rights."
Guess what? I believe that homosexuality is flat out wrong as well. So flame on.
(Sigh) I guess I'll just have to rewrite the whole thing from the ground up. I'll just avoid making any bugs or bad design decisions, and make sure everything loves all aspects of everything I code. I'll just write a new bootloader, kernel, drivers, utilities, compiler toolchain, windowing system, desktop productivity software, and some cute cat apps.
Though I select the scanner in my case, I completely identify with your feelings -- I had them too. It was overwhelming. Thank you for your comment. It prompted me to write a letter requesting my elected officials help eliminate this new terror, a copy of which I sent to both my State's senators and to my representative in the house.
It's about time the pendulum starts swinging away from the abusive, oppressive practices that the terrorists have set in place over our society.
America is supposed to be the land of the free, home of the brave. Not the land of the willing to consent to invasive and abusive practices because of drummed up fear.

It was! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Hehehehe. Wasn't aware of that movie, thanks.
I still maintain that even I can come up with a better naming scheme than "places that no one outside of California has ever heard of".

Emojis. The first 1 gigabyte is the os, the next 15 gigabytes are emojis.
They haven't even started including the video emojis yet.
Once we have video emojis of every possible cute cat action, then we will have finally perfected the operating system.
Don't count me out yet. I'm half of a two-man team. Okay, plus some short-term contract work to help us with this or that.
There IS a new filesystem. http://arstechnica.com/apple/2...
Data Manipulation by *Thanos*. Much more sinister.

I would just settle for bug fixes and a better name than "El Capitan". In fact, the name bothers me so much it drove me to start a blog again just to rant about how bad the current naming scheme is.
Worse than branding...there doesn't seem to be a CVE assigned to this at all. Has anyone found one?

There is already a sizable portion of the slashdot community which never leaves the basement in which it resides... ;-)
Hey, there is some space to have a government not at either extreme end of the spectrum...just saying...
Does "System Preferences > General > Show scroll bars: > Always" not work for you? My scroll bars seem to stay put with that option on.
Parent should be upvoted. Spot on.
The probability of them being true at any instant in time is described by the following formula?
(4 - ITEM_NUMBER) / 4
(I mean, #1, #2, and #3 could be true...)

Jerks.
Ah, but they failed to gain widespread consumer adoption because they forgot the cute cat apps. I, obviously, will not omit that step!

Should take a week or two.

Ick. Then they'd both go and there would never be peace on Mars.
Why don't they just make a $250,000 submersible to go and find it?
