Hey, the question is never whether thing X can survive in place Y; it's how long thing X can survive in place Y!
If I remember correctly, deep-sea creatures can't survive (long!) at the surface because the lower pressure causes their swim bladder to burst. However, squid do not possess a swim bladder (giant squid, at least) so perhaps it's other organs that start to go pop.
Depending on the age and relative health of the animal, it seems reasonable to me that a giant squid could survive at the surface for a respectable amount of time. Common sense tells me that its survival instincts would tell it to dive again if the lower pressure became too much for it to handle (unless it was sick or disoriented or otherwise disabled, which may well have led it to the surface to begin with!)

Graduated to a riding mower eh?, I'll assume that the last one was of the "push" type?

... really is a dog compared to eclipse.
Just had to get that off my chest before the evening's alcohol takes effect.
|
|

|

So is it worse or better?
Pardon, I never heard such an expression (I suppose it means Android Studio is worse than Eclipse, but not sure).

Dog means worse.

Starts downloading Eclipse. Last night I decided it was time at last for mobile development. I'm starting to feel left out. Any books you could recommend?

Oh, wow, thanks. Now I only have this and AngularJS to master. Oh, and plain vanilla JavaScript for a potential new job. Haha, the interviewer asked, "How much non-jQuery JavaScript have you done?"
Luckily I don't have to master Angular for the job, I can fairly get by there, having started only two months ago. Despite the quirks, a truly fantastic framework.

For JavaScript, this[^] is the book to get ahead with.

Indeed. I have been taught proper JavaScript (not the hacked together stuff we see so often), I have borrowed and read about half of it, and in fact, I have just this minute purchased it.

Which Eclipse for Android? I don't see any on their download page that seem to fit.

See http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html[^], but notice the disclaimer. If you have an Intel i5 or i7 based PC with lots of memory (8Gb or more) you may find Android Studio and the emulator run OK. It is probably worth trying it if you are going to be doing this professionally. I'm just an old geek who likes to learn stuff.

Absolute disaster. I had to use it for a course in university, it was absolutely terrible for anyone who had less than 8GB of RAM. My laptop has only 4GB of RAM. If I accidentally opened the debugger while Chrome was also open, everything would freeze so solidly that the only way out was holding the powerbutton. Death by swapping. It would have been better if it had just killed one of the programs.

I remember my days when I had Intel i5 with 4 GB RAM, this piece of junk would remind me of God and I prayed too much. Because mostly my applications would crash, or I had to forcibly crash them.
Now, I have i7 with 16 GB and everything is just so shiny.  But, I still do recommend Eclipse. Everything that Android Studio can offer was offered by Eclipse too, in a very memory-efficieny way.

I have been using both for Android development, and I really prefer Android Studio. I moved to it, from eclipse, when version 1 was released, and I have never looked back.
It's running fine (and fast) here, on a Macbook Pro, i7-something and 16GB ram.
And one of the best things is that you can tell it to use VS Shortcuts (F5 for debug, F10 for jump to next statement, and so on)
I spend about the same time in Android Studio, XCode and VS, for me it means a lot to able to use the same shortcuts in all 3

Is there an easy way to do this (e.g. importing a preferences file) vs. manually editing the shortcuts?
Thanks,

Preferences->Keymap, in the dialog you can select it in the "Keymaps" dropdown...
