The hardware of the pixel looks great. If Windows had a proper touchscreen driver, I'd probably buy one and load it up with Windows (or, if I could get OSX running on it...)

Actually a pretty impressive about-face from Microsoft. I know some people are all-too-ready to see the demise of Microsoft, but I'm glad to see them try their best to be nimble. The more they fight for eyeballs, the more we win.

Same here. The most annoying part is that I'm very gentle with the cable--I coil all of my cables[0] so as not to cause undue stress on the conductors inside of the wire [0] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEd7ru24Vx0

My experience was over and over again "oh, your notebook is out of warranty, not going to replace it, go spend $80". So now at the end of one year, I'll damage it intentionally so they can replace it. I'm done with payin

Symfony on PHP has a great security baseline--though it's pretty complicated.

I've been around for 250 days or so and am not even halfway there. Then again, I only say something whenever I feel I have something to add, rather than just blasting comments and hoping to get upvotes (and now, endorsements)

I browser HN daily, been around for coming up on a year, and I'm not even half way there. Since commenting is such a huge aspect of these sites for me, I'll probably frequent HN much less often since I won't be able to part

Simplifying a bit here--but essentially, what happened before is that AT&T owned a wire. Two parties wanted to talk to each other over this wire, and so AT&T only charged one party for bi-directional use of that wire. In the past fe

I'm confused--are you against the agile manifesto? As the sibling comment states--Dave Thomas and topic article are making the distinction--they're advocating for agile, not money-making Agile as you vocally disapprove of. p.s. I

I think it's important to realize that this isn't saying that agile is bad, which is definitely the tone I get from some of these comments. There is a difference between agile (i.e. the root of agility) and Capital-A Agile. Keepin

It's a pejorative term that predisposes someone to a certain conclusion. Pretty easy to bust out the 'S' word and win the jury in .2 seconds. ;-) http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20131130/15263725410

Their MSc thesis was probably the first that they wrote. After a while of paper writing, thesis writing, and even more paper/thesis reading and the like, I'd imagine that they got better. What I'd worry about is if I saw NO i

I think that the author means is that Harvard places a high value on "perfect code," when "just ship it," is closer to the mantra of the startup community. Goes hand-in-hand with "do things that don't scale,&qu

you mean where anyone can submit a package, and it's replacements will be taken into consideration globally? Replace everyone's symfony security/auth module? what could possibly go wrong? :D

I think a giant red banner to an experienced user (someone installing SSH on Windows) will cause pause to any user who needs to care about this sort of thing

This is perfect--I'm definitely going to set this up. I'd just like a background service for my Android device that would also randomize my MAC address... (perhaps it's time to investigate android development :P)

That could be it. My first glance lead me to think it could all be replaced with an enum rather than 7 switch statements (or, better yet, a library function). "data" is ambiguous, too. I think that perhaps there are a few errors t

I don't think that asking for feedback is highly immoral, but that's just imo.

this would fall under regression testing, and is most certainly covered by any list of top reasons to do TDD.

True, but it's easy to build a storage container that doubles as a faraday cage when the tapes are in long-term storage. Actually, I'd be very surprised if this wasn't the case (pun intended).

I really wish that Namecheap would stop reselling under ENOM. It's the one thing that I don't like about them. Why isn't Namecheap their own registrar? Namecheap IS a valid registrar, but they're still reselling domains
