I manage a medium sized team of developers, many of whom often work from home. IM is our communication lifeline. I couldn't imagine having to phone or email them 100 times a day, what a nightmare.

Agreed that it is, but still not a valid reason to start throwing up junk items just to make a magic number. Undermines the validity of the entire piece.

Article subtitle: "The failure of the landing highlighted the risks of a fast and cheap approach to space exploration." I would say the opposite. Not specifically just in reference to this mission but in general. They now have

Would you mind detailing the term "soft ground" for my own knowledge? Thanks

For those who don't own, yes. For those who do own, and who banked on the value of their property for things like retirement, etc... or who will go underwater and into financial crisis... it's bad. There is always a two sided ba

I've hung onto my first generation Pixel for largely this reason. There isn't a lot in the new models to entice me to switch however the loss of the 3.5mm port was the tipping point for me not to purchase either of the updates.

Yeah, sorry. There was nothing in there that implied gender. I know a number of people who work with children in education and there is a very clear change happening in the last 20 years with how prepared children are when starting school.

mySQL needs this as well. We do a lot of pivot style reports for clients and while we have it down to a bit of a science now the resulting SQL is a debugging mess and not terribly efficient. (though it still runs fairly quick)

This one struck a little close to home as less than three weeks earlier I had met them at a fundraising event. At the time I really didn't know who they were but the names came back when the news broke a few weeks later. They just se

While I agree with this in principle let's also be frank and say that this is a much simpler stance to take when your company doesn't exist based on data.

New Boston Dynamics dancing robot video launched today is probably to blame. :) (and if you haven't seen it now you have something to look forward to when Youtube comes back)

Really HN, Posting an informative video gets downvoted without a single comment. The internet points are irrelevant but it is a sad sign on commentary here.

This does make me sad as I am one of the few that still uses G+ fairly regularly. There are still a lot of quality feeds and I've enjoyed seeing that content without all the crap Facebook wraps its content in.

I am another disappointed by the new Gmail UI. A quick list off the top of my head: Compose and pause buttons are huge (and I never use Pause), side bar got much larger, new font is less readable, "Compact" density option is st

Agreed on the battery life. The concept is a good idea but my mother would never keep this charged up and on her wrist constantly enough for it to be relied upon.

This will probably be my next phone. I have a Pixel v1 right now and unless the Pixel 3 impresses me a lot I will be moving over to a Sony Compact. All the features I want (including a headphone jack and large battery) in something that is

I think this is a critical point. We need to reign in the customer's expectations that have already been set too high. They're already expecting to just get in and go anywhere while watching things on their phone or reading a bo

Which kind of amazes me that it wasn't obvious. When I start to think of vision recognition issues, poor conditions, missing signs, markings, etc., unpredictable human drivers... then all of the edge cases I alone have seen in 30 year

Yep, seems the compromises they have made for notches are global across all devices which to me is a UI mistake.

This link displays it best: https://www.techradar.com/news/android-p-only-has-space-for-... In short there is a 4 notification icon limit now with the clock on the left, whether you have a notch or not. I often have a

If that's the case then it's off globally. The numbers would have actually been marginally more accurate if it was factoring in traffic, but if it's not then it's off by quite a bit.

One small annoyance about the new version I've hoped they would revert is the new clock placement on the left. It was done to accommodate notches better but Android has always had notifications there. I've been running the beta

by 51Cards 8y ago
Just have to comment that for myself a notch would be a deal beaker for a new device. I've played with a couple devices and really think it adds no actual value while complicating the user interface. I will avoid it as long as I can.

Does it take into account time of day? It's off a little for my area, just outside of Toronto. Putting in a 2 hour window comes up short east/west (by about 25%) but is relatively accurate North of here. Problem is knowing the

I still use PSP 9.01 from 2004 for most of my basic editing needs... it's set as the default application for most graphics types.

This is where most of what 'debt' i manage comes from. We have a very large ecosystem of interconnected systems many of which have roots 15 years in the making. While the design decisions made back then were valid the expectatio
