No, traveling can be fun and exciting and novel, so many people long to do it. Travel has very little to do with narcissism. The thing that should be criticized here is the page of angry, useless nonsense you wrote. It doesn't help anyone. Stop complaining. Or, so I can say "to each his own," continue complaining, if you so desire, but keep it private.

Most C-inspired languages (most popular programming languages) allow this. The only ones I've used that don't are Go and Swift. And I find it a little annoying.

If you're worried about bugs, there are other things in C/C++ to criticize first ;)

I was going to say: This world is pretty impressive, but I'd rather see what people do in a survival world. For some reason I thought it would be a utopia with marvelous redstone machines everywhere, automating everything, etc. But not surprisingly that's not the case. Thanks for sharing.

Useful things are wonderful, even if they're obvious and not new or even innovative. The problem is considering things like Snapchat, Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter innovative when they're absolutely not. They're fundamentally simple communication channels that almost anyone could create, thanks largely to Internet pioneers and open source developers. Their users and public image make them valuable.

I'm very happy we have these things, and I'm happy they're well-designed and secure. But they're not really innovative.

I was planning to watch it the night before, but it was cancelled because of a sailboat or something nearby. How silly, I thought. It's not like it's going to explode...

Sounds like a great way to invite a higher crime rate.

Are there any safeguards against bots? Or could someone just sit on a # tile while auto-clicking?

Cool services. It helps to have some context like this.

The second I turned up my volume they turned up the volume. Kind of saw it coming but it was too late to turn it back down. Lol

I think you would find that most iOS users are just as utilitarian. The vast majority of complaints you see on iOS app reviews concern functionality. If anyone, you should accuse Apple of being (overly?) concerned with aesthetics.

I hope he puts that money to good use.

Clever idea, but I think I would prefer automatic doors and conveniently located motion-sensing sanitizer dispensers. And as much as I like embedded software, I don't think it's particularly useful or worthwhile in something like this, with the exception of monitoring the amount of remaining sanitizer in individual handles.

Also, from what I've heard, hand sanitizers aren't great for you. Placing them on doors, encouraging (or perhaps pressuring) people to use them frequently, might do more harm than good. It would be vastly more practical and effective to strategically place motion-triggered sanitizer dispensers after doors, especially in patient rooms and on the way out of certain sections of the hospital.

It's respectable that you're thinking outside the box and looking to solve a real problem, but this needs more thought.

Great idea!

That's what Elon Musks are for :)

Is the evidence just a correlation?

You've got to hand it to them for the clever name. They manage to imply that it's better than Sublime while using fewer letters.

Based on the grammar following "Reaction engines," it's clear that the OP simply thought the new engine was actually called a "reaction engine"

(I'm sure the author would not write "Google bring us closer to autonomous cars")

I spent months of my freshman year highly anxious for similar first-world reasons. I excel at and enjoy lots of things and felt like school was making me commit to one field. I would spend days very inactive, stressing out about, for example, the pros and cons of being a game programmer versus an embedded software engineer or something. I could never seem to settle on one area. I thought game programming was a waste of engineering talent, but I found everything else about it extremely appealing. Luckily I'm over that crap now, as I accept what I knew all along: that it's not what you major in that defines you. It's what you do in life that matters. It also helps to be in a field that applies to virtually everything else (CS). I'd go even more crazy if I were in some highly specialized field. Strangely, I'd say the best cure for this is a brief existential crisis.

If the point of getting a forum site running on a Raspberry Pi is just for novelty & challenge, ignore this. But I think the most practical solution here is to forget the Raspberry Pi altogether or to set up the majority of processing and storage on a separate machine and have the Raspberry Pi server talk to it.

I can relate to the author. Therefore, I am a smart person.

I bet this is part of the reason most people are not independent & creative thinkers. And I would bet that it also has something to do with why creative people often end up with mental health issues down the road. It's definitely easier and more fun (and maybe even healthier) to whip out your smartphone and Google something you're wondering about, play a quick game, read what someone else thinks, etc. in otherwise idle moments, but doing so precludes having a bunch of potentially valuable thoughts.

When I was a big Linux nerd I often found myself ditching KDE distros for those with desktop environments that look elegant and cohesive right out of the box.

But the new Plasma design looks excellent. If you guys can pull off an environment with great customization options and out-of-the-box elegance, that would be fantastic. Looks like the new design is headed in the right direction.

I think this makes it a great language for solo projects. You can write almost however you like and largely ignore features you don't need. The problems arise when dealing with a bunch of programmers with different experience levels and preferences. That's where simpler, more conservative languages like Java shine. C++ gurus used to their massive arsenal of options must cringe when forced to work with simpler languages.

I think its "excessive" features make it an appealing language so long as I'm not dealing with not-so-well-written and/or expertly "clever" code.

I find straightforward, well-written C++ more comprehensible than Java and even Python (only due to Python's dynamic typing).

Of course, the definition behind straightforward, well-written C++ is very subjective.

Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one who cringes at the sight of the iOS Safari share icon. My brain starts panicking a little while trying to decipher its meaning.

I almost had to stop reading after this sentence:

"The U.S. has the world’s most sophisticated system of financing radical ideas, and the results have been impressive, from Google to Facebook to Twitter."

Not one of these began as a "radical" idea. I have a ton of respect for Google, as it certainly does some radical things today, but it started out as just a better search engine. And Facebook is hardly even an idea. Don't even get me started on Twitter. They certainly provide lots of value, but the initial concepts are not radical whatsoever.

Concepts/companies like solar roadways, Tesla, and SpaceX blow Facebook, Twitter, and even Google out of the water in terms of radicalness.

Really cool idea, but I think they have the implementation all wrong. I'm picturing something like a long Leap Motion sensor across the top (far side) of the keyboard. Such a keyboard needs the sensitivity of a trackpad to be much better than simple key commands, no?

Wow. What kind of revenue does Airbnb make?
