Samsung tends to incorporate lots of bleeding- (or burning-) edge technology into their products, so I wouldn't be surprised.
-
I went with the regular S6 at work, since I could not really see the edge-thingy as anything more than a gimmick.
It mostly is. But the Edge also has a fair bit more horsepower and more RAM. Also, it is a beautiful phone.
The one good thing about the Edge setup is that it gives you a dock that is always present where you can pin frequently used apps and contacts. Not exactly a killer app, but a nice to have one.

Sounds like you need to vent. Might I suggest doing so here?

He suggested to instead switch to memcached
I hope he changes his mind to Redis, just so that we get some good blakeyrants out of it.

Me and my SO both have MotoG 1st gen and are pretty happy with it. Games are a little flacky and since Lollipop, Chrome has decided to run sluggish, but it's a pretty nice phone.

Status: fighting Chrome so it can work with RequireJS.
Context: I'm building a Chrome App.

Does anyone in a first-world country that actually uses their phone regularly and heavily have a Moto G?
I could see getting one of those and complementing it with a good-sized tablet. I don't NEED a powerful phone if I've got a powerful computer with a bigger screen. (Shit, or an 8" tablet with a BT headset that I could make a call on, for that matter; I wouldn't carry a phone qua phone at all.

So, that worked fairly easily. TRWTF is all the solutions (none worked) which I found until I decided to do it by my self.
Now, try to figure out how to use templates without
eval()

Well, at the time I could have gone the dumb way and spend way more money on two S4 or iPhone5 but I'm smarter than that.

-
The only good thing about the Galaxy's is that Cyanogenmod support them quite well.
-
The S5 is a great phone. The battery life on the S3 and S4 utterly blew but there was a massive change in that between the S4 and the S5, along with a decent performance jump. I hope that was kept up in the leap from the S5 to the S6.

Status: we have this sorta-clunky report writer feature. It works well enough to let a lot of our client write reports, and those who actually use the feature generally like it. I was talking this morning to a person at a client that has had a lot of turnover, and she didn't know how to use it. She told me she had a bunch of reports to run but the canned version didn't sort the way she needed it, so every time she ran it she was rearranging the rows and calculating the various totals by hand. I felt pretty bad for her. She said it takes about an hour and a half. I'm sitting here facepalming because it probably wouldn't take more'n half an hour, if that, to write her report in the tool, including getting sorting and totals. I said "oh, no, we don't want you doing that, you might as well be using a pencil and paper. We'll get you some training, and if there's any reports that are too complex for you, we'll write them for you (the tool has hooks so you can drop in code if you need to.)

Does anyone see any reason to not get the Galaxy S6 Edge+?
I prefer the LG G series over the Samsung Galaxy series. I've converted my wife and a couple coworkers from various Galaxy models to the G3, and one has even upgraded to the G4. All of them are much happier with their phones now.
Actually, that reminds me. I need to call T-Mobile about upgrading to a G4 …

Status: Replaced a number of linked lists by hash tables, speeding up initialisation by a factor of 10.
First thing Monday I'm going to see if I can get the text-to-bytecode compiler to run once per config loaded instead of once per thread that needs the config, that should give me another factor 4. Moving it out-of-process is probably not going to happen however.

The battery life on the S3 and S4 utterly blew
Tell me about that. I swap the battery when I go to work, I swap it when I get home, and usually it doesn't even last that long.
And that's not even factoring Discourse in. That doesn't even last a two-hour train ride.

I wouldn't carry a phone qua phone at all
Can't stick an 8-inch tablet in a pocket and leave the house with hands free. Nope, not happening until the clothing industry accommodates this somehow.

You probably almost can with cargo pants. If not, then I would consider a 7" tablet.
Or just go with 10" and start carrying a backpack or something.

Of booze.
God. Damnit.

Sucker! I got scotch, I got vodka, I got soju, I got wine, I got cheap beer.
I'm going to pick up some dinner so I can start drinking. Hell yah.

I have a wine cellar. The garage fridge has a few different types of beer.
I have no liquor. And that is a goddamn tragedy.

-
Guilty as charged.
I also have all the equipment to make my own wine, beer and vodka. That surely redeems me a small amount?

Lots of people own shit.
Status: Had shitty dinner, all my friends are at PAX, I guess it's time to watch some Starlost. Because I feel like punishing myself.

All of the above, when I have time, which has been a little while.

Seriously? I never had any complaints about my S4's battery life.

Goat milk is not that bad, especially when made in to cheese. I have no desire to try every mammals milk though.

I wonder if Discourse can be turned into cheese. It's definitely a white liquid, and as a Dwarf Fortress player, I know that most white liquids are milk, spunk notwithstanding.
-

Well, if it is a milk product, it's already curdled and sour.
Also, no way I'm clicking that link. Any link that somehow relates to Discourse, Dwarf Fortress and spunk cannot possibly lead to anything good.

No solution. Just a silent race with time, until stupid Chrome forces me to restart.

With a rather narrow definition of "cow".
I wonder if Discourse can be turned into cheese.
This is one of the things that make me notice that this is not a German (language) forum from time to time.
If it was, such a remark would have invariably answered with, "but it already is!"
(Explanation: "etwas ist Käse" - "something is cheese" - is a German colloquialism meaning "something is crud")
-
Just say no, you yuppie trash.
Well, it is not that simple. I have 60 gallons of different types of wine that I need to get bottled. But, I also did not make anymore this last fall. So, I have a lot in process, but it has been a while since any new has been put in the pipeline.
I also have some beer and cider that got started, but never finished and bottled. So, now it is waiting for its turn to be made in to vodka/moonshine once our newborn is not so newborn anymore and I can resume some hobbies.
There is no time for hobbies until newborns start sleeping through the night, because until they do you have to make a choice between sleep or hobby and I will always choose sleep.
But yeah, I would probably fit the definition of "yuppie".
-

That's a pretty clever colloquialism, as cheese is essentially just spoiled milk. Spoiled in a very specific way, but spoiled all the same.

If they're the same chips I've had, both of those choices actually aren't bad.
The gyro ones didn't taste much like them (but has an aftertaste that reminds me of gyros) but the Reuben ones do taste like a Reuben.
