From the paragraph before your quote:

> With Patton at the wheel, the Ku Klux Klan member fired onto the synagogue, destroying a street-facing window and spraying bullets and shattered glass near the building’s administrative offices, which were next to that of the congregation’s rabbi.

From the article:

> "A lot of young, reasonably educated people are having a hard time finding work there," Stoll said. "They're not staying in town after they graduate," leaving for the faster-growing economies of neighboring metro areas like Dallas and Austin, he said.

I saw that too. That's what made me check if I was shadowbanned. I'm not nearly as active as he was, but it made me realize I wasn't always just late to the discussion or something.

To add to this, you can also be automatically shadowbanned by spam filters which, at times, can be quite aggressive. I was once shadowbanned for "getting caught up with a spammy IP address" according to a mod.

They've been doing it since you could tag people in status messages and comments just by typing their name, which has probably been around 2-4 years, maybe longer.

Not that it's quite the same, but I can't help thinking of decimation in the Roman sense.

Not sure if you meant Instagram was not about to IPO, but rexreed meant Facebook was about to IPO (acquisition: April 14th, 2012, IPO: May 18th, 2012).

Not sure about the browser, but the app is decent, while limited (no charts in spreadsheets comes to mind).

Not that big of a deal, but it means when you right-click to open the image in a new tab or save, it gives you the lo-res image (the src of the opacity 0 img tag since background images don't have this browser ability). Not sure it matters too much.

Retina screens on the 4S weren't impressive? Certainly since then we've seen far better screens, but at the time it was quite impressive.

You shouldn't be using the Express version for professional development anyway, you really need to use the paid version - that's a whole different Java vs .NET debate running into OS vs proprietary that will never end.

As for NuGet, as soon as you build, all code, docs, etc are right there and it's up to the creator of the library to have created the info. It manages versioning and updating for you as well.

  Kotaku makes it sound like the devs are saying female characters are just somehow more complex technically than male characters, and they literally didn't have the technology before to create them.

What they're really saying is that it would be twice as much work with two different modeling and movement algorithms running instead of a single, streamlined approach. It's not impossible, but considering the amount of work developers already have to do and the graphics the games are running, it was left out in favor of a smoother, finer experience.

What you noted about creating an engine to support custom characters means that those developers took the time to go back, refactor existing code and optimize around different multiple different models running simultaneously while keeping a smooth experience.

Also, it's unclear if that's per capita or just the total number of fraudulent acts by IP origin.

What? I'm always happy when people see that my mom endorsed me for knowing HTML5. /s

Kurt Vonnegut's Player Piano is a very interesting read on just this, albeit fictional and taken to the extreme, but it has some interesting insights.

Your example may be true, but many sites are actually 100x100kb, spread over 3-5 domains (tracking, ads, etc) and browsers limit the number of concurrent requests to any one domain.

The recommendations here are actually pretty simple (though the image responsiveness can become complex) and are in line with Google's recommendations (https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/), which are also pretty much the same as Yahoo's (http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html).

Ideally, you'd be doing JavaScript and CSS minification as part of your build or release process and push to a CDN, though some packages do it on the fly and cache the output. It's a surprisingly interesting practice.

Wunderlist is a good alternative. I'm a fan - syncs easily and well, you can create grouped lists if you want, star important items. Or just go super simple. Either way, it's pretty sweet.

For more on the history of oil, The Prize by Daniel Yergin is an excellent read. While long, it's quite captivating and interesting.

The biggest reason I like using pure CSS for this is because it separates the display code and functionality code more clearly. Granted, you can and should be doing that with your JS anyway, but the boundaries are clearer if you keep it to CSS and you're less inclined to take shortcuts and start writing complex or hard-to-understand JS.

It certainly encouraged innovative and creative developers.

"The American economy will have experienced a gentle yet relentless decline. Our children will not live such comfortable lives as we do. The spread between the rich and the poor will have grown, and crime will have become so prevalent as to threaten the social fabric. The rich and the poor will form 2 armed camps. Most automobiles and heavy machinery will be manufactured in Japanese owned planets located in America. Yet, agriculture and higher education will be our most successful exports. There will be no fast trains connecting American cities, but a network of levitated superconducting trains will be under construction in Western Europe and in Japan." - Sheldon Glashow

This was the most stunning part of the predictions as it's far more negative than what truly is the case, yet points to many truths and is what many could say about the next 25 years.

You, being merely a single example of an individual who does not fit her statement, does not invalidate her point that it's a marketplace that an older demographic audience uses.

If she (and you) could demonstrate that as being true (or false) with research and statistics, then she (and you) would have a leg to stand on.
