I want Apple's screen size! I remember the time when phones could fit in a regular sized pocket.

@drRoss maybe it was edge, I don't know. It was a modern Windows (more recent than 7, that's when I left that boat), and the classic "e" icon. Is edge like... The new IE in disguise?

Accurate for me!

Yeah, this is tiresome. I mark it as spam. @dfox ++'s... liberally ;)

@danzig666 java inspired C++, I hear you :(

@vortexman100 ah, but my 1920x1200 with emacs maximized shows three frames (subwindows) side by side, with a little more than 80 chars width.

@danzig666 I'm sorry what? I've never heard of it, or I don't understand what you mean. Does anyone want to see lines as wide as possible?

@danzig666 seeing as many LOC at once makes sense, doesn't it?

@lucas22 wait... QT is an IDE?

@RhysOC it's not that hard. You need a browser add-on such as Vimium.

Even worse when it's a dev colleague, copying and pasting with the mouse, and the f*c king Edit->Copy and Edit->Paste menu entry. Pair programming atrocity.

And I hate that you can't test switches for a week, on a real keyboard, before you buy. I have cherry MX browns and I love them, but I'm really curious about topre and matias

It's mainly the ctrl+shift+home type of combos that would bother me. Except if you can do everything in eg emacs (but I still use Gmail's web UI).

My town, in spite of being fairly large (500k) and with many tech companies, does not do makers' hackathon.

(i don't have the energy or experience to organize it myself)
@vzqzac

@BirdLawExpert correct -_-

I've seen this as an interview question:
What does this do?
a = a+++b;

Other than that, no. Are you trying to find arguments for/against using the increment operator, related to readability?

@PRein sure, but if you have to stop thinking while typing because you need your brain for... Typing instead of thinking...

Being fast means less interruptions in your thinking, if any.

That's when I tend to fall into a procrastination black hole :'(
(but now that I am aware of this I'm doing useful stuff such as mail, reading articles,...)

@corscheid @OOPMichael I was mainly pulling your leg (but not only), but I'm glad you took it the right way 👍

@corscheid @OOPMichael How did you figure OP was a girl?

Like what, you can't install git for your own use?

@Wallpaper My interest is mainly in, if the result about gender differences in interviewing is correct, why it is so. My hypothesis is that the main cause is how we treat boys and girls differently from before they were even born.

Studies I've read that claim they tested genetic differences all tested on subjects who were 6 months old or older. At 6 months old I'd say you've had plenty of time to be influenced by your environment. Did you know that parents talk to their baby girls at a higher pitch than to their baby boys? (average, not sure about the standard variation).

@Charmgoggles Since you are in psychology I don't need to mention to you confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance: reasoning and rationality do a bad job at convincing people (case in point: Trump's success). I don't know about you, but the argument above shows clear traces of these, doesn't it?

I'm aware I probably am a victim of these as well.

@momos1 vlc didn't work? As a user I think vlc via apt worked the dependencies fine last time I tried.

Omg ffmpeg and libav, I hate these. I tried to build them once, it was a nightmare. Then I went on to read the history of the projects, that made sense.

Can't you apt purge?

Anachronism!! :(

@Wallpaper Let's for the argument's sake assume you're right. There's the biological difference, alright.

Then there's the environmental differences, how we treat boys and girls differently before they're even born. Choice of toys, colors, clothes, the distance at which we tell them not to go too far away, who we tell to go play a quiet game instead of soccer with the boys. These are real differences. Don't you think they affect the person that a child becomes? Is it fair?

Now we can't reasonably do anything about the biological differences. But the cultural ones we might. So why not do it, why not try and do something about the unfairness in the children's development environment?

@Wallpaper What about male nurses? The fact that "male nurses" is a thing, while "nurses" are assumed to be female, if no gender is specified.
