Dear sir, After all the hours spent in the company of your charming characters, puns, and wit, I have only two parting words: Thank you.

I´m comparing the top end Pixel model (the same price as the base macbook), which mounts an i7 at 2.6Ghz, with more cache than the 2.7Ghz i5 of the base Macbook pro. Cpuboss gives the edge to the i7, but if you have some source with benchm

Exactly what it's the advantage of an "írregular" laptop, which sells at the same price point of a "regular" one, while crippling most of the things you can do with it and offering basically nothing in return ?

Apple laptops have their share of woes (see the video issues on earlier Macbook Pros). But, whatever the reason, Apple hardware tend to hold on to its value longer, without doubt. I recently sold my 2010 13' Macbook Air, dented and wit

I'm not saying it's the gold standard, but it's serviceable enough: at the very least it has these two features I terribly miss in Finder: - Having a foldable tree structure of the system on the left, and the list of the curr

You can also use Siri on iOs 8 directly (it uses Shazaam as the backend service) . http://www.cnet.com/how-to/siri-can-now-name-that-tune-via-i... It works fairly well.

Heh, I always thought Harry Potter was a bit slow. All hail You Know Who! (Just kidding I love Python as well, I wish I could have the best of both worlds)

That's interesting, I also thought that naturally "Lather, rinse, repeat" is iteration, but it really can be "written" either way. On the other hand I think the grammar of a language is a perfect fit for a recursive

Then, in your case, he is absolutely correct in considering that a negative signal.

This is somehow frowned upon by programmers (as selling yourself out) but as someone that took the plunge it is something I really suggest doing, if you are getting bored or just want to try new things. You are presented with a new set of c

On the other hand, once they learned to program it, the benefits were apparent. The PS3 aged more gracefully than the X360, with programmers being able to squeeze more performace over time as they came to terms with the architecture (the sa

If 4 cores are the norm now, and most programs cannot take advantage of them, what it the rationale for which things would change in the case of 8 cores ?

"Medicine is mostly a guessing game". Seeing a comment like this, on HN, in 2015, just boggles my mind. I'm glad that very good "guesses" from people that have been studying medicine all their life, benefits from ce

"I've not outlined a single policy - and I'm already being told I'm wrong." Then you are in the same boat (pun intended) of many professional politicians. I lived in London for a while a few years ago, and not only

As a SW Engineer recently turned Project Manager, I find the original post of the "Product Manager" patronising, ignorant and offensive. It seems to say "Your job is not to code, your job is to code and in addition to do my

To be honest, it seems something coming out of PR/Lawyer guys rather than actual engineers. I mean, the statement is pretty clear and leaves little room for doubt, it would take a lot of simplification and misunderstanding to twist a p

If I'm not mistaken the "debacle" had to do much more with the underlying data rather than the actual UI or design of the application. And it might be just one example, but for some reason when speaking of "Apple f..k up

Funny then that this whole discussion is about a 40+ years old guy risking his fortune on a single project.

I agree, but on the other hand you have examples of possibly richer and more famous developers that in order to make their next game decided to pull off millionaire kickstarters, when they probably could have financed it with their own mone

The code he is trying to port is to Swift is pure C/C++ ( www.handmadehero.org ) , so probably this solution is the easiest, apart from being the most appropriate.

Um, the takeaway I get from the post is that Technology DOES matter, and you should make sure it fits your requirements. If anything, do not go for the latest/shiniest thing on the market, if you are unsure it provides solid advantages
