Did you see the "Retro Razr" mode image at the bottom of the article? Even better nostalgia factor!

How ironic that this article (which was actually written in the spring and goes to great lengths to explain why people are mistaking DST for standard time) was posted here in the fall just after the switch to winter time; some master level trolling posting this here now.

I will never understand actual real world software developers using Macs for anything.

Ruby?! 2016 called and they want their criticism back.

Is it possible they are trying to sell for the same price but with wildly varying costs of each varietal of coffee? I.E. they want to sell a bag for 15 bucks across the board but some beans cost them far more than others to source?

Hardest to read award of the month. Tiny white text on black, full width across, not gutters...ouch.

That line is critical because it means they will effectively be manufactured in China but some token amount of assembly will happen in the U.S. so that they appear to be seen to be manufacturing in the U.S. when in fact they are made in China in any meaningful non-political sense.

Yeah there are a lot of ivory tower developers here with little to no real world experience and have never done anything of any substance or complexity pushing their tiny limited experience and knowledge and you can spot them from miles away in these comment sections. Those of us who work in the real world know how silly some of these comments are.

Wow; of course there are plenty of reasons why forms require javascript unless you've never coded anything of substance before then yes, in your limited experience no forms require javascript.

If you write even mildly complex business applications with business rules and want a professional and non shitty user experience you absolutely need Javascript, there's no substitute.

If you make simple sign up forms then by all means don't use Javascript.

No. It depends on the person entirely and if you start digging you will find about equal distribution of people who are calmed by a sativa and people who are calmed by an indica. I personally suspect that people who feel calm from a sativa are a little ADHD and it seems to make them think better and more calmly and indicas make them much more anxious because it exacerbates and existing condition.

Point number 2 is utterly untrue as any experienced cannabis enthusiast could tell you. Even if people don't know the strain or what the effects are it's pretty reliable that it will either energize them or send them to sleep.

I think you're more right than people are giving credit for. They clearly haven't cared much about their hardware with any true innovation for a long time.

Jesus that's thin gruel to bring up..no? How about some actual innovation? Has anything truly innovative happened in smartphones for the last decade?
