It’s the same person.

I worked for the DOE for 12 years. There certainly were shady, sweetheart, and down right suspicious deals that happen for services, hardware and software.

Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.

Thanks, I did watch the video but I just don’t see it being any better outright. I’m only in a phone right now so I guess it will have to be a test drive to really see it.

What benefits does this have over Atom, Sublime and Textmate?

>I worked at ISPs, have backbone engineer friends, and candidly: I think this issue is silly. But if it's yours... sigh...

The problem with gitbash is its way slower.

Plus, the real reason you get Putty or SecureCRT if you’re lucky, is because they are actually terminal emulators and not a DOS shell.

Sorry I don’t find Mona compelling at all.

Foisted is a very apt term

Thanks! Definitely something to check into then.

Do any of these programs offer a way to trade experience via testing for credits? I went the hands in way 20 years ago and have done really well with it, but I sometimes wonder if having the degree would be helpful.

Unless it released billions of MEMS which have started appropriating resources.

Small odds though :)

putinontheritz | 8 years ago | on: Former Facebook exec says social media is ripping apart society

I would say WoW, Facebook, Reddit, HN etc all use that little bit of dopamine hit to keep people “playing” as long and as often as possible.

I say that have started play WoW again after several years off and dumping Reddit this evening.

Both of the can be enjoyable places and there are some really good Reddit communities, but it can be be just as addictive.

Their podcast app has been garbage for quite some time. I dumped it for Overcast and I’ve not looked back. My podcasts instantly start, sound good and are all available. Do you your self a favor and try it.

This. I think it’s an interesting idea, however it will be relegated to hobbyists and enthusiasts, not the main stream.
