That's a great server rack.


I always end up going back to my laptop to do any real work. Tablets are great for, as others have mentioned, consuming content. But the PC is "far from over", IMHO.


Curiously, I need a desktop to do "real work". A laptop is uncomfortable for some things (mouse, small screen, etc)...


Thank you. No, you are not lacking sleep. This is why I fail as a programmer. :)


At the risk of also making a lot of enemies, I agree with you :)


I check the "new" section and "popular stories" section once every 3 minutes.

Well, okay, not that often. But close.

If that is what the future is going to look like, I am getting rid of my computers now and taking up gardening and bird watching.


I like your plan. Let's join forces and disrupt the gardening and bird watching space using cutting edge crowdsourced location aware mobile technology.


cutting edge crowdsourced location aware mobile technology.

Is that like one of those Swiss army knives with a built-in compass?


Yes, like that. Oh did I mention that it uses GPGPU accelerated cloud computing?


For years myself and some of my friends have (semi) joked that we'll give up computers completely and take up Alpaca farming.


You know, that doesn't sound like an altogether bad idea actually.


I agree - hence the "semi" part. I wouldn't do it on my own, but if somebody local were to want to partner and do it, I'd very seriously consider it. Though right now I'm too busy with a startup, but post-startup, it sounds like quite an appealing option.


That's pretty cool. I like it.


That's pretty cool! Good job.


That's exactly how I felt.

You know that saying about "First Impressions"? If their basic introductory tutorial is showing passwords in clear-text, I can't really justify continuing learning the framework.

Maybe that's harsh or a knee-jerk reaction, but in this day and age it is unacceptable to be showing passwords in clear-text like this IMO (Even if it is only a tutorial).
