Atom has a whole team under Github. If they're both run by Microsoft, that seems like a clear cost-cutting measure; why develop two vastly similar electron-based code editors when you could just move that team + all of the interesting

Have you ever ran a business that, uh, intended to scale beyond one employee and a hobby website? I've never seen a company be threatened with some form of legal attack and not get lawyers involved. Especially with such a new law like

Microsoft seems like the only company that understands tablets right now. They should be more like computers, not more like phones. There's also a pretty great argument that given all of our phones are absolute powerhouses nowadays, ph

The thing that made me really enjoy The Expanse is how they're constantly thinking about the physics of light speed, inertia, and acceleration, and tying that back into the plot. It makes everything feel so much more real, even if they

You don't need to get root on an android device to sideload apps, unless the app has specific functionality that requires root. You don't need to break anything about the system or your warranty. Its just a toggle in the settings

You can install android apps or chrome extensions from any source, not just the Google-managed store. This sounds minor, but its absolutely a major reason why the stores aren't monopolies. I find it startling how few people on HN remem

This is only one small part of the article, but: I think the revolution in Duplex isn't about letting customers use it to schedule appointments and stuff. I think its much more significant from the perspective of using it as a way to i

I think this is really a problem you see in every technology that tries to make things easier. JS. MongoDB. The list goes on. When a technology democratizes access to something that was previously only accessible to those with more speciali

There probably isn't a lot of fear with using RDS. They just do management for you, it isn't any fundamentally different technology that would cause heartache during a migration. Just stay away from Aurora if you care about this.

I really think this opinion is short-sighted. And it comes from a less extreme version of the same place that 9/11 deniers operate from; normal humans don't want to naturally think about loss of control and what that loss of contr

Everything in this universe, short of quantum nuclear decay and atmospheric noise, is deterministic. AI is deterministic; we just often don't understand why the outputs it gives arise from the inputs. Similarly, a FIFO system for a s

And the changes actually impact productivity for those who have muscle memory; it now takes two swipes up from the home screen to get to your list of all apps. They already had one line on the all apps page dedicated to a list of apps they&

I was under the impression that it only affects businesses which do business in the EU, meaning they have an officially registered company within the EU. If my random little website isn't GDPR compliant, what is their strategy for ge

Those are mostly solved, unevolving problems, meaning their R&D spend is a small fraction of the total budget. For example: in 2016, of the total FY2016 federal budget of $4T, only $145B is committed to R&D (3%) [1]. Compare that to

And I also wish more people realized that drug companies are sitting flush either. Lilly posted about a billion in profit this quarter. Gilead posted $4B in losses. Novartis posted about $2B in profit. That sounds like a lot. It is, to a de

That is true, but its also worth pointing out a bit of context: the gopher was created by Rob Pike's, one of the creators', wife, who happens to be a professional illustrator. Point being, its not like it was contracted to a profe

Interestingly, I think Microsoft has a solution in this category... on the Xbox. "Xbox Record That" goes back in time and records the last 30 seconds of gameplay. This is how Google Clips should have worked. You can't trust A

So, pure curiosity: Node is amazingly excellent at IO. Its like the one thing it does really well. Its traditionally pretty bad at computationally heavy tasks, but it still beats BEAM there. What do you use BEAM for? Is rock solid supervisi

All signs point to Apple revamping iTunes in the coming year/s, likely by splitting out the Music and TV portions into their own apps. This could come as soon as WWDC with the expected announcement of the unified app development framew

I really fail to see how most of those points are relevant when you consider that a home is an investment you can, you know, live in. The alternative would be to rent indefinitely, which apparently we're ok with even though its not jus

That is absolutely true. My meaning is that the big banks are the only banks that have survived all the regulation, and the only reason they can survive is because they're increasingly centralizing all of their operations and shitting

One piece of it is actually regulation. When you're dealing with huge amounts of yellow tape and you have millions of customers, the overhead cost of providing services is absolutely sky high. Many of their clients don't even ma

Its hypothetically possible to recreate this approach in any language. Grab the item in the map at that key -> check that it exists -> check that the type is what you expect. Its not idiomatic in most mainstream languages. Except, tha

What exactly frustrates you about Go's JSON handling? In my experience its among the best in typed languages. Define a struct (or just use an untyped map), optionally specify json tags for field names, pass it and the json to json.Unma
