It's not gambling if you have information that most of the world doesn't have.

If it was a simple web site without any third party dependencies, you could bookmark it.

I'm not going to download an app for every company I do business with. It's as simple as that.

I'm not going to download an app to order food from your restaurant. I'm not going to download an app to operate an appliance. I'm not going to download an app to get a discount on a beverage at your convenience store.

I don't care about your stupid rewards system for trying to get a reasonable price on overpriced items. I'm not downloading an app for it.

There are many people who download every app they do business with without hesitation. It's crazy. I can't imagine how many apps these people have on their phones.

There are so many people complaining about the Nix language while offering zero constructive criticism. I was a little skeptical about them using a custom language at first. But then as I used it more it grew on me and I understand why it is the way it is.

People just seem to want to complain because it doesn't look like any of their favorite languages and they aren't familiar with functional languages. At this point, I can't imagine using any other language in place of Nix. The code would have so much noise and be much harder to read.

Same, and it lags simply trying to scroll down the page. Unacceptable.

I've never liked the idea of my display having an integrated computer. Especially one I don't control. This non-sense just furthers that.

Displays last a long time. Eventually the computer will become outdated especially if companies can just remotely load viruses like this onto them. I just connect my computer to my TV and that's the only input I ever use. Full control. The "smart" part of "smart" TVs is idiotic.

Been using KDE for years and never had any of these problems.

I didn't try it because you have to sign up. I looked at all the examples though and I don't see how it relates to pair programming.

I don't understand what this has to do with pair programming. It's just a glorified auto complete for function bodies. You still have to come up with everything else. Filling in function bodies isn't what makes pair programming valuable.

How does that solve anything? Your WiFi should already be password protected anyway. It's other people's routers with open networks you need to worry about.

My thought exactly. Totally surprised me. I thought the only inputs a web site could get from me from hardware without asking permission is key presses and cursor movement.

The one that finally did it for me was the "Do you know x?" notification that I couldn't disable.
