pachydermic

I haven't encountered this problem personally. I think most people are just playing for fun not to get their number higher.

The only feature from CM that I miss is the ability to hold the volume up button to skip to the next track (as a global option, not just a per-app thing). Everything else that they did so well has pretty much been added to stock android.

It was a non-commercial open source project at first. Then they decided to go found a company and get hardware partners to have CyanogenMod phones.

The time to try it was like 3-4 years ago!

The question is about who you trust and how you make sure that all the actors are being fair.

Would you feel better if the government designed the machines? A lot of people would probably feel worse.

Right now, you have each state's board of elections making decisions - they get observed by both parties so that they can all sign off on what's happening. Idk. You can never eliminate the possibility of fraud. I just think the likelihood of all of these actors colluding is really low... I mean congress can't even pass a budget.

Isn't this what the whole point of the free market is?

Are there really more bad ideas for crappy products now than there were in the past? I mean, "snake oil salesman" used to be a real thing, right? It's not like it's anything new going on here.

Duckduckgo? Don't know how much cash they have to throw around, though. Certainly not as much as Yahoo or Google, but maybe it'd be enough? I hope so, anyways.

>Wake up, People! The government is not here to fix your problems.

And private firms with monopoly power aren't either.

It's maddening.

>The real painful part of the process is caused by everything around React, including the build tools.

Can't agree with that more. I really like the way react works. It just makes sense and doesn't get in your way very often.

BUT it's incredibly frustrating dealing with npm dependency hell. Especially if you really are concerned about security and don't just trust that "someone else has probably made sure this code is safe, right?"

I just want to use something for longer than 6 months :(

The people who are affluent enough to buy all those gizmos and apps and educated enough/have enough leisure time to care are generally already the healthier ones.

The point is that they're not showing you what you wanted - if you search for Firefox, I'm pretty sure you don't want a malware-infested version. You want plain old regular malware-free Firefox.

So Google isn't showing you what you searched for.

If you search for torrents or illegal downloads well that's different, isn't it?

Emacs is also from the 70s, so that's why what he said doesn't really make sense.

How is sublime fundamentally different? Sure, it might be shinier and easier to get into, but is it a different "paradigm"? No way.

If anything, vim is the most unique editor with the most unique "paradigm" I've ever really had much experience with. Atom, Sublime and Emacs all seem pretty much the same in terms of how you interact with them.

Pretty sure saint ignucius will damn you to proprietary software hell for dissing on the One True Editor (tm).

Can't they just have a stand on the back like the surface does?

Doesn't really give you a "laptop" experience, but at least you can still set up shop on a table.

Anyways, it sounds cool. To me, the specs seem pretty conservative so hopefully it's a low cost device. Something cool to hack on.

Holy shit
