Some people, like my elderly father, live in an area where it's dial-up or Verizon LTE MiFi with severe data caps (~14 GB for $100 per month). He's an old-school newspaper & magazine reader, so advertisements don't offend

Heh, I guess a page loading faster could be an adverse affect, depending on perspective.

I'm sure some think-tank wrote this bill; thankfully there are Congressmen who can introduce.

Yes, they have the best rural coverage in the Midwest (Verizon, thanks to AllTel, is a close 2nd.)

My 2007 CR-V is affected. Since I live in the northern part of the US, my airbag isn't a priority as they're doing southern states first.

I use Go exclusively for command-line applications, previously using Perl (ducks). It's a fairly simple language, you can pick it up quickly, and gofmt/godoc/etc are useful utilities in reducing friction.

There's very little VHDL in industry. VHDL == IBM and Europe.

I did the opposite; Chromebox on desk and MBP on lap. I pay Google about ~$7 per month to run an Ubuntu instance in the cloud so I can write and compile things. I was leaning towards getting an iPad Pro for on the go, but it's a bit pr

IANAL, but as long as you're not infringing on patents, trade secrets, or using stolen source code, you can't be sued just for using your brain to solve similar problems.

Paul Otellini came up on the x86 marketing side. He fully believed that Intel Architecture was the ultimate, therefore everything else was no better than 2nd place. BK came up through the fabs, and therefore is more open to fabbing others&#

I'm torn. I don't know if I want a MB or a 12.9" iPad Pro. Most of my "fun" development is done in a cheap GCE instance on the command-line.

They've been on sale at least 3 times this year. Hold tight!

While this is a bespoke reader, I like the price point of the $120 (often cheaper with frequent sales) Paperwhite. It's always with me, and relatively inexpensive and durable enough where I don't bulk it up with a case or sleeve.

Given that current Kindle e-ink readers can be read in portrait or landscape, it seems within the realm of possibility.

I haven't used Mutt in ages, but I'll be installing it tonight. 90% of my mail is done in Outlook (work) or Mail.app (home). I feel like those 2 applications have more users than they probably deserve.
