I’m using my old Nokia to this day. And why? Because “suddenly being stopped even after a few feet” wasn’t “difficult to mitigate” for Nokia. In the last 15 years this thing must have survived more than 100 drops, sometimes down a staircase. When I pick up the back cover, the battery and the SIM card, it’s as good as new.

You transport the dishes, sure, but do you eat from them while standing? I was specifically referring to handheld devices.

Uh, not really what planned obsolescence is.

You’re right, but I couldn’t think of a short term for this. I found ‘bad’ design too broad, and it’s not ‘hostile’ design either.

Thank you very much for your kind words, my dear sir.

Or – just a thought – you’re reasonably confident that the shit you wrote actually works.

Isn’t that also the shorter route, because you’re circling the Earth where it has less circumference?

Also the North Atlantic Tracks are there. Might also play a role.

Judging by eye on the map projection OpenStreetMap uses, the direct line between Japan and Hawaii is about one quarter of the westbound straight line between Japan and Hawaii.

Could someone enlighten me what Deus Ex is about without spoiling more than two hours of gameplay?

He also said he’s the son of God. If you say that today in the right place, you’ll still die for it.

That’s when you set the intern’s IDE to preserve the line endings.

It’s not about feeling better. It’s about getting the other person to understand that Google exists and that they can use it, too. Too many people refuse to put in any effort of their own and go ask someone instead.

IMHO in that situation answering isn’t even the right thing to do, since it encourages that behaviour and prevents the asker from learning to find out stuff for themselves. Something about fishing for hungry people or so…

When someone is genuinely stuck, doing research themselves allows the answerer not to go down the same dead ends, which saves time for both.

You cannot even mark it as duplicate without providing a link to the answer. What are you talking about?

Peple misunderstand “Closed as duplicate” as an insult, when it’s just the hint to look at the provided link. If you didn’t find the answer previously, this just means there are multiple ways to express the problem, which use different words and thus don’t all find the same google result.

Yep, and align isn’t a real property, either.

It’s a typo. The colon should be a semicolon. But since it’s the last declaration, it’s optional.

With a minimum wage job ($7.25/hr) you need to work about 5 to 13 hours per day to make that much – before taxes.

This is the main point of this post. The meme is just a means to gain attention. I believe people are more likely to consume meme posts than plaintext.

Thanks for pointing it out. I corrected the post.

“Snacks”…

[Morty:] What am I eating?

[Bird person:] It’s mostly debris I found in my carpet. I don’t know what humans eat.

[Tammy, his girlfriend:] You know what this human eats.

Sure you can write foo = 3 in JavaScript. It’s a global variable and can be referenced as either foo or window.foo.

Amateur. Print it in 4 different colors and bring color filters.
