This doesn't bother me at all. I'd be far more worried if Oracle acquired GitHub.

I'm getting the idea that Adobe has created an AI platform to help agencies with marketing efforts.

Yet reading through this landing page leaves me confused to what it actually does. Am I on the right track?

Truth. Go to GitHub and check out their milestones. It's so great to know what is coming in the upcoming monthly release.

That would be Powershell.

Another Precision user chiming in. I got one at work and after I updated the Intel video driver, I've had no complaints.

> aversion to tinkering

That is my biggest (and really only) complaint against Apple. Sometimes you have to go under the hood and do a few things. I don't know what Apple has against this way of thinking though.

Dragonflies eat mosquitos. I happen to like dragonflies. The are one of the non-annoying insects I actually like to have in my (non) backyard.

Why did I read that comment section? I wonder if any of those people have ever heard of SELinux.

New comment by robert_nsu in "Locust – A modern load testing framework"

robert_nsu — Wed, 01 Jul 2015 22:40:32 +0000

I've been using siege for load testing. I'll give this a go at some point.

I don't use python as much as I'd like and this seems like a good work related use-case for me.

> And native rsync interoperability too? I've love to banish cygwin from my Windows servers.

Hear, Hear! You and me both. I've never liked Cygwin and do my best to avoid when possible.

Umm... Haven't you ever heard of Xenix?

New comment by robert_nsu in "Starbucks to encourage baristas to discuss race relations with customers"

robert_nsu — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 20:39:22 +0000

Will it get me my coffee any faster?

Will it make me feel better about an incident in elementary school.

Will Starbucks pay their baristas hazard pay when someone inevitably gets offended?

No. So, can someone explain why this would be a good idea?

I use vim and brackets (in addition to Visual Studio), but is codebox even an editor? I thought it was just a snippet organizer. Also, Atom can't open files greater than 2MB at the moment.

I remember hearing about Rocksteady doing something similar with Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Here I thought I was being capped around 5gb. I didn't ditch the "unlimited" data plan until late 2013.
