In the 21st century, calls will be far more efficient because rotary phones will spin twice as fast. Computers will be so small they will fit in an ordinary two-car garage. You will be able to make calls from anywhere because there will be a phone booth on every street corner. High speed miniature printing presses in every home will make it possible to receive a book in a matter of days rather than 4 to 6 weeks. Low cost air conditioning will make it possible to have a cooling room in every neighborhood.
Ah, so alcohol is back to being unhealthy again. What should people do with all that red wine they bought for heart health because of previous studies? Are eggs currently healthy or unhealthy? How about coffee? That switches every few years as well. Some even say diabetics should not try to avoid carbs. Don't worry about that diabetic coma. Walk it off.
Had a model III and later a 4P. I used to obsess over the text adventures Bedlam and Raaka Tu. I'd sit in school thinking about how to get past a certain point (the darn dog!) for when I got home... and also try to write my own in BASIC. Later I learned Z-80 so I could make faster graphics based games. Good times.
Raw http/https? Are you some sort of savage? Convert it to base64, store it in an XML file and handle the download with a custom es6 app. Bonus points for each line of code installed from a package manager.

As the old saying goes... A statistician with his head in an oven and his feet in a freezer says, “On average, I feel fine.”
Overly complicated, bloated frameworks, lack of documentation, buggy tools and incompatibilities make life miserable. Learning something new, finishing a project your proud of or raising your skill to a new level feels great. It would be nice to eliminate the lows though.

Patrick sounds like a really fun guy -- always looking at the positive side of things.
I have a good understanding of programming itself. I've written code from scratch in many different languages from assembly to C++ to JavaScript. The problem these days is the amount of build tools and frameworks to learn in order to make things "easy." It would be helpful to learn what all the various frameworks and tools do and why I should use them, especially those related to JavaScript development. Will the world end if I keep using nothing more than ES5, a bit of jQuery and source control?

But that's what makes it taste good.
Yes but not as much as hair.
True. It's crazy hair that makes people smart.
Personally, I blame the Russians.

Nobody would click on the honest title.
Please throw trash on the ground or the poor birds will go hungry.
When robots start bunny hopping, spamming grenades and talking crap after they kill someone.
Hopefully they didn't use Theranos to confirm.
free money? where do I sign?
Venezuela. The problem is somebody has to make something before you can buy it, otherwise inflation cancels out the free money.
Vanilla JS is too expensive.
Damn, so no aliens, huh?
Who do you think built the canals?
Radioshack's one of those companies that would ask for your address and phone number even all you wanted was to purchase a pack of AA batteries.
Yes, and they would ask even if they had your info already AND they would write it down by hand.

Of course not, and the black turtle-necks she wears show what a visionary she is, because visionaries wear black turtle-necks.
If she was actually that smart, she'd wear glasses.
OK, so the summary says that Twitter boasts 319 monthly active users.
That number is wrong. A site like twitter probably has at least 1,000 users.
Pluto declares humans to be an insignificant flash in the lifetime of the universe.

Web browsers did it before then and Usenet newsreaders did it before browsers.

Joke's on them. I held up my credit card instead.
