I can't tell whether the link "promising leads" was broken on purpose when the page was written in 2015 (to make a point), or if it itself is an example of centrally-served pages that slowly bit-rot over time.

I've spent a few nights in the psych ward at Zuckerberg General. There were quite a few homeless people. There were people that faked being crazy to get a bed and a hot meal, and the psychiatrist had to kick them back out onto the stre

Keep in mind that this is a subset of the C++ library. The static analysis tools for C++ are much more mature than for Python, and good static analysis tools are necessary if you want to perform a refactor across the entire monorepo[1] and

But if I want to play a show on my Fire TV Stick, do I still need to use the Alexa microphone in the remote, or can I talk to my Echo?

This looks like a AC-powered clock form factor, and quick Amazon searches show that other AC-powered clocks also do not have power cords in the product photos. (In practice, the power cord would run down the back-side of a bedside table.)

The entire time I was reading this piece, I couldn't help but think, "I wouldn't be surprised if Apple explicitly omitted that feature from the API to keep battery life reasonable on the Apple Watch." Syncing progress fo

Traffic lights are often installed in intersections where there are too many cars for an all way stop. When there are a lot of cars approaching an intersection, a traffic light can increase throughput.

Both Facebook and Google's lawyers want to create a world where software patents don't block innovation. BSD + Patents doesn't look like the way we'll get there. Is there a way we can get there without putting "powe

Grocery stores already have workers inside that prep food to make them ready-to-eat or easier-to-cook -- pre-chopped vegetables and fruits in plastic trays; soups and rotisserie chickens; cakes in the bakery section. I think the real questi

There's no incentive to do this. Amazon/Google aren't exactly hurting for SWE candidates because of their brand.

Nice! Are there any plans to document their existence in the Build Encyclopedia[0]? Or is the idea that each company should vendor the build rules for languages like Go? [0] https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master&#x2F

How do large Go projects outside of Google get built, anyway? Is it idiomatic to use Makefiles? Inside Google, there are BUILD rules for Go, but it looks like they haven't been open-sourced in Bazel yet.

The original rules were designed for miners, who didn't have the choice to take a 1.5 hour off-site lunch (there wouldn't be restaurants for miles).

Most U.S. banks implement Chip and Sign, though, and enable the Magstripe fallback because retailers still haven't certified their systems end-to-end for Chip and PIN.

Cities don't come out of nowhere, and demolishing a city block and rebuilding it disproportionately affects people of color. Yes, we need to make cities more accessible. But rather than discarding existing cities as un-accessible waste

A lot of people think that the battle here is EME versus DRM-free content, but that's not the case. You can still have all the DRM-free content you want, whether that's YouTube videos or iTunes MP3s. Really, the decision being mad

Lots of people are unbanked/underbanked -- that is where mobile payments (like MPESA) shine. Assuming that everyone has a credit card and/or bank account is a US-centric assumption that came about as a result of COPPA, and the big

My experience in Canada: both Cable/DSL and LTE/mobile networks have data caps; but the former has caps in the ~120-300GB range, whereas the latter has caps in the 6-12 GB range.

Sure, we know that. Consumers don't know that. Hence the marketing line about developers not having access to the "raw Face ID sensor data".

I read it as "you need to enter your password if you haven't used your phone in a week, but if you use your phone every day, you only have to enter your password after each reboot"

That also takes more space. Understandably, when memory was counted in kilobytes and disks were counted in kilobytes, file formats were designed differently than they are today.

But nobody wants to build (and keep clean) a bathroom in their backyard (the for homeless people is implied). And anyone who did would have protests from their neighbors. Lava Mae addressed this by building portable showers out of old bus

This leads to an obvious question: "why did the programmers not always just embed the font?". And it turns out that the answer will probably be, "well, we asked the lawyers, and you need rights from the font owner to do so, a

Oh boy, that's going to be awful fun for parents. Let the kid play with a game; they call your name while pointing the forward camera at you and you've just Face ID'ed some in-app purchase.
