The most interesting things are happening in the world of tiling window managers in my opinion. While that subreddit isn't exclusively for tiling window managers, it can give you an idea of some of the customization and personalization that's possible with both the look and the configuration/usability of these window managers.
It's definitely undervalued. If you grow into it at one company the raises don't usually match your new skill set. If you are looking to move most places will be looking for specific skills and won't value your full stack abilities properly. That's just the way hiring works it seems.
The problem with being full stack is there's still only X hours in the week. Just because you have the capability to do everything doesn't mean you have time. They still have to hire someone to do the work you don't get to even if you have the capability to do it.
anything I want to buy I look up, check, evaluate options, and then decide whether to meh
I do the exact same thing, but I feel pretty confident that advertising is involved. From subtle advertising for brand awareness (e.g., that Nike ad you saw on the way to work on the side of a bus) to paid placement (e.g., those adword results in the google searches as you researched products). It's never going to outright cause you to pick a specific product, it influences your decision. It most of the time will ensure their product is at least part of the evaluation, which it might not have been otherwise.
I always find it odd that you can be both competent enough to find Slashdot and still poor. What do you attribute it to? Lack of education? Lack of professional opportunities where you live? Medical problems? Just really curious.
Even here in Europe, where the internet has massively cheaper than what you pay in the states, I still have only a 400mb DL and 20mb UL. Faster isnt even available where I live.
1Gb bidirectional here. We have 3 gigabit options in Nashville (Google, AT&T and Comcast) and I pay $70 a month.
Because there are less expensive but acceptable options. Most people just use Bitlocker or if you want to get really fancy use an encrypted VM. People have accepted that's "good enough" security.
I think it depends on who's turn it is and who's ready to go. This is assuming they were dispatched specifically to intercept this and didn't just run into it on some training mission. Again, there is a huge range of experience in pilots, we don't know how experienced these guys are or what they've seen. And of course it might be something even experienced pilots would be unfamiliar with.
It just added extra screen and moved icons there. It works really well in practice. Instead of those icons taking up that whole line all the time they were moved up into the corners beside the notch.
I'm a TT-RSS user as well, immediately after the closure of Google Reader. Although I don't have anything near 60 sources. Being able to go to a single site and see a stream of events which I can easily and quickly navigate (with vim keyboard shortcuts even) which shows me in a nice linear form only the items that have been published since the last time I looked is the most efficient way I've found to consume news and other published resources on the web.
That's possible, or maybe you just don't need iTunes. I backup all my photos by just plugging my phone in via USB and copying the files off, I install apps and updates over the air. I've also done backups via iCloud (free). I don't pretend to know your requirements which is exactly what I prefaced it with "For what it's worth".
he existence of other fighter pilots with more experience doesn't disqualify these specific pilots' experience or expertise.
I'm not trying to disqualify anyones opinion, I'm just pointing out the huge continuum between "first flight off a carrier" and someone flying for 20 years. It's entirely possible they just haven't seem something like this before.
Neither you nor I have any experience with this in-flight imagery platform besides a handful of YouTube videos to even remotely analyze the movement of this object or its possible genesis. This whole video boils down to the pilots' reactions as experienced military aviators in combination with the imagery platform's video.
I've got less than that, I have no idea. I agree unless this was something they just weren't aware of, something secretive being tested. Being a military aviator doesn't mean you've seen everything, or even most things. Shit, even someone REALLY experienced might not have seen this particular thing, or maybe it's so new no one's seen it. There's just so many possibilities. While I agree based on my laymen's understanding of the term UFO, this is a UFO - it's something flying that we can't identify. I just worry about all the people who immediately jump to "aliens".
I think you're discounting the experience of fighter pilots.
What is the experience of these particular fighter pilots? Have we asked any other fighter pilots with more experience what it could be? It honestly didn't even seem to be going that fast to me, just that it was close to the water. It was also flying in a very straight line. It could be a cruise missile test, who knows?
If I could run Java on it or Android apps, that would be great.
Yes to Android apps. Also, switching between Ubuntu (crouton) and ChromeOS takes less than a second on my chromebook with a simple keyboard shortcut (ctrl+shift+alt+back arrow on top row). I really love that laptop it's been wonderful and the quality of the hardware for the price is kind of mind-blowing.
Congratulations, seriously. I did the same thing a few years back and it really is a matter of habit. You get so used to having the TV on or making it part of your life. Within a month of not having it you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. I certainly learned to really appreciate a nice, quiet home.
I guess you've never heard of crouton? I've got an Acer Chromebook 14 (aluminum, 14", 1080p IPS display, great keyboard/trackpad) for $250 that's running Ubuntu (xenial). Battery life is great and performance is fantastic for the light duty I use it for.
When I buy Apple, I know I'm going to have to use iTunes for something eventually.
For what it's worth I've been using iPhones for years and I've never installed iTunes. I don't even own a computer that would run it. I updated it over the air and back my photos up using Google Photos.
Check out wee-slack which is a python script for weechat that uses the slack api. Very easy to setup and works great. You get a lot more features using this and it's a good enough alternative for me.
Before you dismiss it, I'd encourage you to just give it a shot. It is absolutely first gen technology, and the resolution isn't where it needs to be, but the feeling of "presence" you get strapping on a Vive headset/controllers is a completely unique experience. There are some of really fun games, like Raw Data or The Gallery: Call of the Starseed, or the Rec Room mini-games are amazing, epsecially with friends.
If this isn't something you're really excited about, wait for gen 2 before buying, unless you just have a lot of income. But seriously, just don't dismiss it out right, give it a shot and decide what you think. Personally I've got an HTC Vive and it's been incredible. I cannot wait for the next generation.
They just don't call them "Junior Developers" any more, it's considered demeaning. Just like we can't call people "janitors" or "secretaries". In IT we call them things like "Network Administrator 1" or "Systems Administrator 3" to create pay bands and allow for personal professional growth. We use a matrix to tie things like traditional education, industry certifications, years of professional experience, annual evaluations and tenure with the organization to move them up.
Almost every new Windows system is being shipped with Windows 10, which has a (more or less) consistent UI across the board.
Windows 10 is the LEAST consistent Windows UI ever. It's split between this Windows 10 interface and the traditional old windows system. Just take the control panel for example. Some settings are in this new UI model which is a rip off of the OS X system configuration and the other half are still a jumbled mess in control panel. In every version of Windows up until Windows 8 I probably would have agreed with you but it's an absolute mess now.

Apple stopped selling displays a while ago. Currently on their accessories page the only display listed is the 5K (resolution, not price) LG

I'm really curious as well. Does slashdot have a proper api that would allow someone to do some analysis on this?
Also, where did everyone go? Reddit? What subs? Has the very specific nature of subreddits fractured what used to be a large single audience?
The second most popular distro on distrowatch.com is Manjaro, which is based on Arch. A challenger appears!

Seriously, how freaking stupid can companies be to think that the "cloud" is the answer? I genuinely don't get it.
Pretty easy.
Even here in Europe, where the internet has massively cheaper than what you pay in the states, I still have only a 400mb DL and 20mb UL. Faster isnt even available where I live.

the US and many other governments have proven repeatedly that they do EXACTLY what you are now worried that the Chinese government "might" do.
And the reason you know about it is because we live in the US and not China.
Because there are less expensive but acceptable options. Most people just use Bitlocker or if you want to get really fancy use an encrypted VM. People have accepted that's "good enough" security.
