There's more to it. I love Prime and have had it since it'd debut. We still order goods of amazon weekly, if not more. However, when I first got Prime, the landscape for competition was much different than today. Amazon's success has driven competitors to follow suit and offer free / expedited shipping, reducing the value of Prime. Now they are increasing the cost and justifying it by tacking on extra services.

That's great if you use those services, but consumers that don't are seeing an increase in price and a reduction in value.

I'm personally not sure if I'll renew given I'm on of those in the middle.

Consumers: All IPhones should be completely repairable with third party solutions!
Also Consumers: All IPhones should be completely unhackable even by the goverment!

My gut feeling is some of these updates by Apple are the result of closing security holes.

Agreed on all points. If you're happy with your current workflow then look at getting faster internet, mainly your upload speed.

Your video files are likely huge, so it's no surprise it takes a while to upload to youtube.

You literally argued the same thing as the guy you were trying to correct.

WTF

I should say, sometimes, not a lot of times.

Every time I decided to buy something on Amazon, I first search for it on Google to compare prices.

A lot of the time, Amazon'z retail price is inflated over the going rate and their sale price is near actual retail.

I've probably saved a couple hundred dollars on some of my larger purchases doing that.

Or just self righteous and pretentious snobs who think they are superior because how dare you think they read like the masses.

I wouldn't even bother with double left bracket, just double bracket. The opening and closing become second nature very quickly.

Also, I don't think I've ever even needed to type the word "and" while writing code, so saying "double and" or "and and" can easily convey &&.

I agree with you, simplifying unicode names is a great start for the classroom.

My college banned laptops in pretty much every class but core comp sci classes. It was the at the educator's discretion, but they all followed the same understanding. There were countless kids angry about it, trying to shift blame saying the content was dull, or their snowflake generation was better than every previous generation and they should be entrusted with more responsibility, claiming they could multi task better with laptops, etc.

The reality was, we all took in way more information when we had to write it down and then copy it to a computer and there were never giant distractions between my professor and I.

The benefits to banning electronics far outweighed the benefits to having them in the class room.

My college taught had a course that went through every language to teach differences and focused on the fact that there were different tools for different tasks. The core classes however all used java to teach programming principles. I really felt it was the right approach. Learning different tools is necessary as a programmer, but even more important is the proper mindset, patterns, and approaches, regardless of our chosen language. A good programmer can pickup any language and work towards proficiency then mastery.

If your company is I.T. and has that high of required hours, either your making insane paychecks or your being scammed and the military guys are leaving because they see the bs.

Nobody with good skills should put up with those hours unless they decided the compensation is well worth it.

If your going to be a dick, at least be one under your real account.

The market has always rebounded. Betting against that is just foolish.

With a uid that low, I can only assume you are speaking from past experience.
