I've never seen airdrop actually function. I remember when it first came out I watched some excited people try to use it and then it failed completely. Nobody I know with an iphone even bothers trying to use it anymore.

Spotlight has been straight broken for me since 2008, especially when using large external drives (stuck "scanning" for >5 hours every time the drive is power cycles, using a whole core). I just gave up and now forceably disabl

Yup that is spot on. My company wouldn't act as a guarantor for me so the only way to get a rental contract was to pay an additional $800 (and $100 per year after) for a special company to act as my guarantor. This is with a good salar

Even getting a basic credit card in Japan as a foreigner can be a real pain. If you work for a big company and can get some oomph behind your application you're fine. But if you're a foreign student you're probably going to h

The amazon vine program sends people free items in exchange for reviews. I started running across absolutely crap 5 star reviews for grad level engineering and math textbooks from the vine reviewers 2-3 years ago. They would talk about how

Their are some "cell magics" for running different languages in individual blocks in a Jupyter notebook. I gave it a try in passing with javascript a while back and I remember there was a way to share variables through as well. Yo

It says it works from anywhere, but then only gives a number that works from within the US. How are you supposed to use this service while in another country and not having access to a US sim card?

It seems the Dynamixel servos they are using make up a main component of the cost. Does anyone have experience with cheaper/alternative servos? Could cheaper servos be used if better sensors on the joints are employed?

I've been pulled off the jetway and had my entire carry-on searched just before boarding a plane a few years ago. They found nothing of interest and let me go on my way, but I'm still not sure if it was just random additional scre

To add to the anecdotal evidence I had exactly the same response. Most of the emails are light and fluffy. It's refreshing to receive something with some real meat to it. I've gone from initially being on the fence, to being very

This looks really cool. I am curious what the differences are between this and IPython Notebook... which has recently been renamed Jupyter and now supports kernels running different languages.

There's a Japanese guy who campaigns against pervasive noise and inane repetitious instructions. There's an article on him here: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2014/10/10/lifestyle/making

At the end of the article the author brings up that D is competing now with Rust. Could anyone who has used both D and Rust comment on the advantages of each?

I'm an expat and just finished an english language masters program in engineering in Germany. It is feasible. Combining grad level studies, language studies, and part-time work can be a bit overwhelming at times. If you could avoid th

Yes exactly. And to take your specific example, Japanese health regulations with regard to meat are much more strict than US regulation. I've eaten things raw in Japan (pork, beef, fish, etc.) that I would never consider doing in the U

Thank you for the excellent links. A lot of your comments really ring true. A number of times I've really wished that the international phonetic alphabet was far more widespread and included in more language learning materials. In addi
