To be clear, it doesn't support casting, which is what the previous commenter was asking for. It runs directly on android tv. The app even says that there is no support for phones or tablets so casting isn't going to…
Yep, this is what got me hooked as well. I've also played using a PS4 controller using my laptop, and phone. I don't think the PS4 controller would work playing from the Chromecast though.
I personally love vim, and have found that setting up vim keybindings for my IDE seems like the best of all worlds. I do appreciate the consistency and speed of plain vim, however I can't fathom trading that for code…
This is a really good point. I would consider myself pro-union, but after considering what you just posted, I think you're right. Thank you for the insightful comment, I feel like this may actually change some of my own…
The SkyTrain is a great example of how easily transportation technology infrastructure fails during even slightly unexpected circumstances. The trains were inoperable for multiple times this past week, for hours at a…
> The military demands that soldiers immediately and unquestioningly follow commands given by their superiors (particularly during combat). I don't think the way you've phrased this is quite accurate, although I…
Does anyone else find Qt difficult to setup/compile and find the qtmoc hoops that are necessary really frustrating when it comes to compiling projects in a non standard way?
I also really enjoy board spots in general, and I find there seems to be something unique about them that attracts introverts like myself, even though snowboard/board-sport culture can sometimes be a bit "bro-ey". I…
I would be curious to know more about how you are doing this. Maybe Microsoft fixed this since I last used WSL, but if they didn't then you may be sitting on a ticking time bomb, see:…
I want to point out that this actually makes a great interview question. I've had really good results asking this. I find it's a great question, because it allows the candidate to show off their knowledge, and use some…
Second this suggestion. As others have noted his books probably aren't going to win any literary awards, but they are fun entertaining reads. There are some similarities in subject matter to some of Dan Brown's books,…
I have looked at sciter and it looks pretty cool, but not being open source is a pretty major downside.
It sounds like your main concern is preserving the native look and feel of the OS. I understand the argument, but I don't really understand the reasoning behind it. This is probably me being naive, but (assuming any…
I really like where the author went with this. Everytime I read something like this though I can't help but think how we as developers really need a better low level, UI framework for cross platform applications. What…
> Still, people in dense cities who endure higher living costs tend to be happier Most of the studies I've seen have said the exact opposite, that those living in urban environments are actually less happy:…
I agree with what you're saying, but I also wonder, if not agile, then what do you see as a better alternative? It sounds like you're suggesting that Agile methodologies have flaws that allow projects to be easily…
I'll second this, and also note that it probably make a good read for those who suggested reading Marshall Mcluhan (who the author references heavily). Overall I enjoyed it, even though there were parts that I couldn't…
Yea, I think this a really good idea. I've also had the idea of an AirBnB for 'toys' (i.e. sports equipment, motorcycles, bikes, instruments, etc). There is already RelayRides for cars, and qraft is probably the closest…
I haven't read the book you mention, but regarding a book that does cover c99/11, I really enjoyed: 21st Century C: C Tips from the New School If you are an experienced C programmer you may end up skipping large…
I love how osx supports emacs key-bindings by default for any text field. I miss this feature a lot when I switch back to windows. I find myself pressing ctrl-n in my browser's address bar, expecting to view my URL…
Sublime is missing support for vim actions when used in combination with / or ? For example: d/abc (i.e. delete forward until the text 'abc') or c/abc (i.e. change the text going forward until the text 'abc') I can…
Thanks, I haven't seen that yet. It does look promising. I was vaguely aware that work was happening on these features, but I wasn't aware of their current state. Unfortunately it doesn't look like these are available…
Very cool, QML is a very promising GUI development language. I'm a huge fan of declarative UIs, and QML is great for this. For those that have experience in WPF, QML is actually very similar. My main complaint about QML…
I'm not sure if you're being serious or just sarcastic, but no - that's not at all what I'm suggesting. OSX provides a POSIX environment, and OSX is obviously not a Linux distribution. In fact Microsoft already provides…
I agree completely. Lately everyone seems to be convinced that we're witnessing the death of the desktop computer, but I wonder if this could be partly due to the lack of options in this market. Apple and Microsoft have…
