It sounds like MS has been able to get a lot out of their hardware. It will be interesting to see how much it costs.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016) with Touch Bar. So far I love the machine - USB-C is the future of computing. I'm sill not used to the feel of the touchbar when hitting ESC, but I mostly use it as a desktop with another keyboard anyway.

If they are all developing with Xcode I bet they also have a server farm for distributed builds. That said, why would OSX devs need more that 16GB of RAM? It's not like they are going to be running virtual machines/docker images.

Which is why both the Ember.js project and Angular 2.0 have a cli now that provide standard commands for development and a standardized structure. Of course, both are much larger frameworks than React and attempt to provide a complete solut

If you haven't encountered the concept before, I recommend looking at the testing pyramid[1]. Basically the idea is that UI/Functional tests take a long time to run so you want just enough to test the main, important flow in the a

You're kidding right. I was just at a gas station the other day where a guy REFUELLED HIS RUNNING CAR. He even left it unattended to walk into the store! I think you overestimate the average persons understanding of automotive fire haz

_Programming_ is more pleasant when you break your codebase into isolated components. Instead of trying to force git to adapt to these monolithic repositories, we should be breaking them down into manageable pieces for developers to work on

GA can be extremely dangerous for some people. I know someone who has had several knee surgeries without GA because they don't handle GA well enough to make it worth the risks (death, for example). There are very good reasons why a lot

Why even bother paying for S3? Just use a static site generator and put it on github pages, github is already paying for the heroku vms so I bet they'd be happy to pay less to use their own infrastructure even if the git-scm.com/o

If you are doing a lot with docker images, it might be worth considering Concourse CI ( https://concourse.ci ). I haven't played with it in any depth yet so I'm not sure how it compares with other solutions, but I like t

From what I can tell, Tesla has been focused on making their batteries _cheaper_ at the moment so they get the best deal possible on their batteries. They aren't really trying to make "better" batteries because they need to s

Seeing as how Samsung did produce the original faulty batteries, you are seeing exactly how they shift the blame away from themselves. Instead of calling out the bad batteries they made, the specifically avoid discussing who made the bad ba

If true, and if the internet is correct about company size being between 51 and 200, then that means each employee only generates between ~$78K and ~$20K. Anyone know if that is low or not? Seems low to me (compared with software engineer s

That's why these level 2 systems are supposed to verify that the driver maintains contact with the wheel. Not that you can't necessarily get around some of those restrictions, but the system is supposed to warn you if it detects y

Generally speaking, during the approach the nose of the plane will actually be pointed slightly downward to control the airspeed (pitch for airspeed, power for altitude). Once you cross the threshold, the pilot generally removes any remaini

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the proposed implicit modules in the article would fix this issue. Instead of exposing mylib/image.rs via mod, you'd just import it as an 'implicit' module. So you'd end up

Super Mario Run 2 could easily be just an in-app purchase where you just choose which game to play once the game loads. That saves you from hunting through a bunch of similar looking super mario run icons on your home screen while also maki

Mercurial bookmarks are equivalent to git branches, but Mercurial branches have no equivalent in git. In Mercurial, branches give you a way to track the branches a commit is a part of which is good for long-running branches (I think of thin

Generally speaking gradle plugins take a very declarative syntax. Yes, it's easy to write non-declarative builds in Gradle, but that's what is awesome about it. Start with fully declarative builds, then add in non-declarative task

FYI, I thought I'd give it a try today, but it appears to be broken (syntax error in the console).

In theory, you wouldn't need landmarks because the keys below are the landmarks. Unfortunately, the dynamic actions don't seem to line up with the number keys so I don't know how that will work in practice.

Better for you maybe, but not better for the average user who ended up with malware infecting their systems left and right because they weren't technical enough to avoid it.

I suspect most people only _think_ they want the range-security of going to a gas station. In practice they'd find it a huge hassle to both plug in the car and go to a gas station. Probably the average person would end up either only u
