DigitalOcean still beats Linode on price as half the time I don't need a 2GB server but I do want to keep servers separate (multiple 512s at $5 is better for me than 1 2GB).

He wrote the code to show you that you don't need to import IOException you can use a catch all to avoid a throws statement in the method header.

This is bad code as he said.

Depending on the website 13 requests is kind of small, 20-30 requests for a regular page probably more likely with maybe 3 or 4 that can be cached on an unoptimized site and the rest being image assets for that particular page and so on.

So with 300,000 I get something like 10,000-15,000 pageviews which is pretty much nothing.

Beats is built to grow off of the beats brand at least I believe it is.

They also have tons of money for advertising so they had a superbowl ad and many TV ads so I think maybe a large amount of people that don't know what spotify or rdio is have heard the name beats before.

I think people should lose their money and learn why it is a bad idea to keep your bitcoins in something pretending to be a bank, an exchange, and other things all in one.

That is disappointing I understand that work deserves money but I wanted a viable competitor to the big 2.

Emacs has gotten better because of XEmacs, vim may get better because of newvim, but that won't be possible here unless you want to contribute your time for a closed source project and hope that whoever sees your pull request chooses to merge it.

Here's hoping they change their mind and perhaps develop a few useful paid extensions or something like that instead.

Well I mean what's wrong with adding a file to /etc/paths.d which is picked up by the default shells using /usr/libexec/path_helper

It works for Mactex without fucking with the system folders.

I don't know maybe the intel iris (I think 5100) is a substantial improvement, the only review I found on anandtech was for 2012 version which had the hd4000. Or maybe the performance increase from haswell has helped.

Either that or it is something I don't run into. I don't play games really but I haven't noticed any frame lag when scrolling.

I'd say apply now before it is to late (if you haven't already), attempt to get a job during the summer for what you think you can ($60,000-80,000 may be iffy unless you have access to more progressive companies) and if you can't: go to school.

If you are really lucky you could probably even find a job that will let you go to school part time while you are working which would be the best of both worlds.

You don't have to attend school right away but you'll probably lose all momentum to go as you age.

What trouble? I haven't had any issues so far, maybe if you want to play games at that resolution it would be a problem.

Just so you know after introductory prices a few years ago it was cheaper to have the "basic" cable + internet than just internet from comcast. It may have changed since I don't live in their service area anymore.

Probably because it isn't an official port, there is no reason to learn .NET if you don't develop exclusively for Microsoft.

If you're developing for multiple platforms chances are you already use some other toolkit with platform specific bits mixed in, mono is only useful if you are a .NET developer and then decide you want to port apps.
