I was just in SF and had to take a meeting in San Jose. The fact that I couldn't take a train all the way down completely blew my mind. What's the point of a commuter rail if it involves an hour bus ride to the other major populat

I'll say that a lot more people spend time with their laptops on their shoulders (every person in NYC, SF, London, Hong Kong, Chicago, Paris, etc.) than use their laptop for large render projects. A Macbook Air can handle even large st

You don't spend a lot of time traveling do you? I upgraded my Macbook about a year ago, and shaving off those 1.5 or 2 pounds saved my back so much. When you're moving cities every few days, walking through massive airports and hi

I put it in another comment on this subthread, but Friedman is an opinion writer, on the opinion page, not the news page. He's supposed to make controversial statements.

Just to nitpick: Krugman is on the opinion page, this is what he is supposed to be doing. David Brooks does the same thing, but usually on the conservative side of the arguments.

It must be. They're not pulling a Slack and running a full WebKit in their app. The internal library on MacOS is written in C (or was, they were moving to Objective-C last year).

As a software engineer who has done a lot of non-profit work, try and engage your engineers with the community of other "do gooders" out there. Take them to the conferences and include them in the meetings that talk about the poli

Technically? There's nothing stopping them. For that matter, there's no stopping Google from doing the same. There's also no stopping Apple from patching LLVM so that only patched versions of OpenSSL are ever compiled against

Yea, Berlin was different in 1981 during the cold war where it was, for all intents and purposes, completely landlocked within East Germany and was economically stagnant. The DB, while not my favorite train system in the world, runs extreme

That's mostly because of the geography of Manhattan though. The places with tall buildings (Midtown and Downtown) sit on a solid base of bedrock, in between this base is much deeper a lot harder to build to. Housing in Manhattan isn&#x

That's true, as long as you don't have to support >50% of the users of Android. As someone (at this moment) still dealing with the very healthy supply of Android 4.4 phones being sold as "new" in Europe, I can only dr

Have you been to London lately? It's heavily segregated, and the only place I've seen much mixing is at the chip shop or curry joint.

I think you're probably right on this. I'm probably about a generation younger than the guy above you and I still see parties across the board. I've been with millionaires in Bushwick squats at avant-garde art shows and poor-

To be honest, most US homes don't really need one. We're not a tea country and most boiling of water is done in a pot to cook with. It's changing, and I personally love the things (Alton Brown suggests cooking hard boiled egg

I mean... you could do this, but it would completely depend on your threat level. The problem with this idea is that using your computer in any way that's remotely convenient or normal is impossible. Eventually everyone screws up/

I'm not 100% against Javascript for things like this. It does make it much easier for non-C coders to get involved (although, to be honest, beginning C isn't that hard, and if you're going down this path you should try and le

If you start the navigation ahead of time it'll keep going even if you're offline. It caches the route and gps waypoints. Worked great on my trip from NYC to Quebec City.

Nitrous.io is the closest I've found. I use it quite often, especially on the road when I'm on a Chromebook instead of at my desk. It's a lightweight IDE (text editor really) and full console. With docker support.

Really really obvious reason they did this. People are dumb. Someone, probably very soon, and probably more than one or even ten people, would overload the weight and crack their screen. At which point they would show up at the Apple Store
