I did find it easier to do but that's because I wear analog watches everyday (I don't need distractions on my wrist).
The other comments did remind me that when asked for the time I always give an estimate quickly and then read the exact time a little later. I almost always round to the nearest minute or quarter of an hour, and almost never read the seconds hand.
Isn't the more prescient issue the use of lab grade plasma (or whatever is used in petri dishes and stuff) which comes from sheep blood? Wouldn't that be the location of any actual vegan/vegetarian backlash to fake meat?
Or does fake meat not use this material in its production? Maybe it is only used in researching fake meat?
Ahhhhh yes. When people post claims about it's terrible performance they're concerned about how the computer feels.

No. When it comes down to it. Electron hogs and drains a user's laptop battery, which in turn affects their user experience. How hard is that to understand?
Not everyone has a Macbook with decent battery life. Some people don't like Macs, don't like Apple, or simply can't afford one.
If you program with a concern for perform and battery life, it'll run well on a Mac as well as an old computer.
If you code lazily with Electron, some people will notice: a drop in battery life, and a slowing down of their computer's responsiveness.
It's pretty simple really. Code for the lowest common denominator of your target audience.
Hmm. Isn't Mesopotamia like the "cradle of civilization," and Greece is far but not terribly far from Mesopotamia. While shocking news, maybe the first civilizations came from Mesopotamia/Mediterranean Sea area because people had been there the longest?
This is #1 on the front page right now. 41 people have voted for it.
Please, someone explain this article; I like others have noted, have no idea what is going on and the title is a fairly large claim (at least from my understanding which is that of a high schooler's).
> We didn't think this would be a problem because the current version of the software wasn't compatible with WinXP any longer.
> There was some debate internally whether the better fix was to including the legacy encryption protocols or just leave the HTTP version of the site running and use Strict-Transport-Security to move capable browsers to HTTPS.
Where can I read about this? Is there any way to display a special "Your browser is outdated" page for the users on WinXP?
Sorry if these seem like basic questions. I am just curious and would like to hear some expert advice.
There are some books which are more concerned with algorithms (in the correct sense of the term) within the field of Software Studies/Digital Humanities/Critical Code Studies.
Some books and articles:
[1] Protocol by Alexander Galloway
[2] 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1));:GOTO 10 by Nick Montfort et al
[3] On "Sourcery" or Code as Fetish by Wendy Hui Kyong Chun
[4] The Exploit by Alexander Galloway and Eugene Thacker
I can list many more.
There was also a doctoral seminar taught by Alexander Galloway at NYU in 2010 called The Politics of Code. The reason Galloway's name pops up a ton is that he worked with r-s-g.org and has a fair amount of experience coding in addition to his academic credentials in literary theory.
