Hard part in this case is not the actual build code or even the CI runners, its actually maintaining a mac server farm for your builds. None of the major cloud providers have mac hardware options. Buddybuild and very few other CI systems ha

It was one of the few CI providers that supported MacOS. Since iOS apps can only be legally built on apple hardware, if you were an iOS developer and didn't want to maintain your own mac minis, you knew about them and the few other pro

Edit: s/comparable LTV/comparable ROI(~= LTV-CPI) You will have equal ROI, with the LTV being slightly lower on android but so too will the acquisition cost... overall profit being the same.

This may have been historically true, but our internal data shows us that starting early 2017, people in tier 1 countries were equally likely to pay and have comparable LTV on both platforms. And if you also going to launch in EU/Austr

He is talking about mining bitcoins, not buying bitcoins. Most bitcoin hash rate comes from places with low energy costs... its just basic economics. The only reason this arbitrage is present is because the value of bitcoins is higher than

That sounds horrible, squash -> rebase -> fast-forward merge... Much more easier to reason about the commits/changes. Git bisect is really important in some cases and that needs all/most commits to be compilable..., especial

Except that hitler video is now making money from the pepsi ad. And its not far fetched to say that pepsi is giving money to creators of that video and when pepsi exec find out that that is a thing, they will want to shut it down asap. PR i

Facts are lost in the world of marketing, all that matters is ctr and conversion. I wonder if we can do something about this?

Too late, enough businesses have screwed up the unsubscribe system that now I mark every mail as spam and let the spam filters take care of it. I don't care if the unsubscribe links works or not, I already have a faster path.

If your service allows arbitrary url queries that a user can trigger then you should make sure that you only allow queries to publicly routable ip ranges anyway. 169.254.0.0/16 is link-local range which you should be flitering along wi

You are getting downvoted because it's not a vulnerability. It's well documented and very useful feature in aws and it also exists in gcloud, although gcloud documentation is not as good^1. It only becomes a vulnerability if you d

It's not really chrome's fault. Blame it on increased screen resolution, copious amounts of available ram and a requirement to prefer using less cpu than less ram. Which also has the nice effect of using less energy. If you have r

We have already beaten the turing test multiple times, each time making the test more complicated than how it was originally designed. We have now moved on to the supposedly better chinese room test.

I don't believe it. Unless you are running some 1999's 20gig hard drives and a i7-6700k with high speed ddr4 rams and use a ccache and gold linker, that is very very unlikely.

I am still unconvinced if NN provide any advantage over regular expressions in this domain since it's not a hard problem to solve. Also, the request needs to be rejected before the connection is made so the only data to work with is th
