I wonder why this isn't benched against graphics magick (which I have found to be ~2x faster than imagemagick)

This post isn't terribly interesting (introducing a new series), and the headline is incredibly misleading -- it's "Meet the first YC S16 company," not meet the batch of companies. Perhaps this could be repointed to Revl

From an extremely pure free-market conservative/capitalist approach, sure, there is nothing wrong with this, they can do what they want. From a basic governmental regulation (Hayek) monopoly approach, FB is the incumbent and it will be

FB also seems to be a bit of the former. Here ( https://www.facebook.com/GoodMorningAmerica/videos/101533728... ) is an anecdotal clip that ABC/GMA stole from this guy ( https://www.youtube.com/w

This is really a wonderful post. Too many open source projects, conferences, and the like have turned into witch hunts by, as John mentions, the morality police. Maintainers are bullied into adopting CoCs even if there have been no issues a

Certainly agreed that the dollars going in and out of education don't make a lot of sense to me, but there are cheaper schools. If you don't feel the school is worth the money, go to a school that you do feel is worth the money.

We're talking about the app with 1 arrow on the screen that responds to a press anywhere on the same screen? 1 icon, 1 tap target, hooked up to 1 secure random algorithm. I don't know how anyone can look at this situation and not

They actually get one better. Whereas a credit card takes 1-3%, gives you 1-2%, makes $$ on various partnerships for redemption, sell your data for additional $$, and potentially charges you yearly, monthly, or interest fees. The CC ALSO ex

Is the big security roll up here due to external or internal scrutiny of iOS security spawned by the FBI inquiry perhaps?

Cutesy copy written from pigeon perspective: "So don’t worry, we love flying, we’re pigeons after all." But serious copy about needing bicyclists as beta testers -- is the pigeon deal a publicity stunt, or a real situation?

Honest question: Does anyone use standalone global jQuery plugins any longer? I've been using browserify, require, and webpack for so long now, I don't know if this is interesting to anyone anymore.

I feel as though this increases fragmentation, not uniformity. I would expect to reduce fragmentation, a bill like this should simply classify Internet as an information exchange or as a utility and enforce no taxation on all of whichever c

I'm slightly confused how the Internet is fundamentally a different type of thing than a utility (I get taxed on my gas bill -- even on "delivery" -- pay to play, not even any of the goods). Or an information service -- I als
