Bush and Trump both will be remembered for a long time. We’ve only had 45 presidents, the English learn about god knows how many insignificant kings in school, so the notion that two of your least favorite presidents…

In my (bigcorp) experience, its all windows all the way with macs available only to developers who have a need (iOS dev usually). And don’t forget that developers are a tiny minority of employees.
Yep his blog and books are great. Incidentally I started looking into Dart yesterday. Seems like a comfy language, more so than Typescript in my opinion.
I do, it's pretty much a necessity in an open office where I'm surrounded by several people talking loudly into several different conference calls on speakerphone. Right now I use Beyerdynamic DT770s because I heard…
Perhaps the AR-18 would fit, the IRA were big fans
Wasn't this actually an X-files episode? I remember a rich techie developing a home AI that Scully and Mulder eventually fooled by stealing a license plate it recognized and putting it on a different car.
Vimium is fantastic (and I say that as an emacs user). Does vimfx for Firefox have similar smooth scrolling? Last time I tried FF vim extensions I was disappointed that they all seemed to scroll jumpily by lines

Homophobia isn't excusable no matter what position the target holds.
I'm a very happy injector user, nice close shave, minimal plastic waste. My only complaint is that the blades are expensive compared to double-edges (still cheap compared to cartridge razors)

I don't know too much about Star Wars, but is there anything that actually indicates Darth Vader would be politically right-leaning? The empire could very well be authoritarian-left.
