I agree 100%. Django may be free to use but lots of people contribute their time to to project. When I have enough experience working with it I plan to give back to the community as much as I can, that is how I will pay for django.

I bought the "beta" edition of the book and really enjoyed it so far. I think it covers different topics than the free django book and I absolutely think they are both valuable resources. On a related note, I always seem to get more out of

Why do you say butchered? I don't think it's any worse (or better) than standard mSATA. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I guess that makes sense. We can at least all agree that having options like this on the market is a good thing, as this will most likely also drive down prices on smaller capacity drives.

I'm curious, as someone with a 512GB SSD, and only using about 20% of that, does anyone actually need this sort of capacity? The obvious answer is if you want to keep a lot of media on the drive but in that case the benefits over an HDD are

Usually, an SSD will by far outlast an HDD. The risk of drive failiures is always quite large with mechanical drives. This of course depends on useage, but with an estimated workload of 10 GiB/day a 256GiB will last for about 70 years[1].

This is not exactly true. In most cases intel's chips are more power hungry but the low power atom processors bring better performance than an ARM cortex A9 while still having lower power consumption. (mostly by racing to sleep faster) And

Yes you are missing something. Processor performance is not simply a function of number of cores and clock speed. There are vast differences between arm's architecture and x86.

I only recently made the switch and I'm very pleased as well. I had the same thoughts as you for a while, but i recently started using slate, (tiling window manager) and I never think about clicking the plus and that, ctrl+cmd+space to full

I agree completely. With the N4 google is finally making good on their initial mission with the Nexus line, that is, to get rid of the carrier subsidies nonsense. With a phone that is $349 off contract, this can really save people a good de

As a first year CompSci student I find this method works remarkably well for me. Workloads are most likely different where you are but I find I'm able to complete most (often not all) of my schoolwork within this time constraint. It's all a

That does not mean that this is a patent for a rounded rectangle, although it's a catchy thing to say such a patent would never be granted(even to apple). The whole point is that if another device managed to have the same dimensions and the

I've been sitting here patiently waiting for a 5120x3200 px 27" iMac. When/if that ever happens apple can feel free to take all of my money.

I actually like a lot of apple's skeuomorphism. I think it makes digital interfaces more natural. I think at least some of the iPhones success can be attributed to the fact that less savvy people find the skeuomorphisms easy to relate to ev

I hear this a lot. Node.js seems to have gained quite a bit of popularity though, I see developers swear by it like a religion regularly.
