This is a persistent pain point for me. I don't just need owned chat, I need chat that does multi-presence cleanly and supports push notifications to mobile devices. My team is distributed and works inconsistent hours and we rely on no

The last mile is where competition becomes difficult due to physical buildout restrictions. There are quite a lot of "mile 2-100" companies; it's not like Cogent is the only game in town.

You've never wanted to open a multi-megabyte data file in a text editor before? "You shouldn't be opening large files in it anyhow" is a cop-out. My text editor needs to edit whatever text files I throw at it. Choking on

After years of using it, I finally just bought a Sublime license. It's about as close to perfect as an editor gets for me - fast, stable, powerful, extensible, portable, and very low cognitive overhead. Kudos to the Sublime folks.

I've taken L-Theanine with my coffee for years. The effect is subtle, but it's remarkable - I just look back over the last few hours and realize that I was distraction-proof. I haven't dabbled in anything else because I don&#

Speaking from practical experience, iOS' Safari is quite a different beast from the desktop version. `position:fixed` in a scrollable, element, for example, has completely different behaviors depending on the platform Safari is running

While this is true, there isn't really a common browser distribution that uses that setup for non-OS X platforms, though. Chrome/Chromium/Opera use Blink now. For all practical purposes, Safari is an OS X-only browser.

Modern IE is actually pretty respectable. Its biggest issue is that unlike its competitors, it only works on a single platform.

OTOH, I pushed a new version of http://libraries.io/rubygems/manticore on Sunday and it's found it. Maybe different repos have different update feeds or something?

I don't know, actually. I've heard the idea repeated so regularly in diet and exercise literature that I'm not sure I've ever looked for studies on it. [1] is the closest thing I can find on the subject, which showed tha

For weight loss/management, it's recommended to eat your daily calories over 6 meals throughout the day. But, the general idea isn't to keep you from feeling hungry, but rather to keep your blood sugar relatively constant, so

Fortunately, the market overlap between MacBook users and malnourished 6-year-old children for whom an extra 1.5 lbs is a deal breaker is minimal.

As a guy with small children, the loss of MagSafe is actually a huge downgrade for me. The number of times MagSafe has saved my laptop and/or power cable from damage after a child blitzed through the living room and tripped over the po

It's because of Passenger's built-in short-term HTTP cache, which is included in the open-source version. That said, the performance gain from the charts is from caching; it's not going to make your Ruby code run 4x faster. B

TextSecure lets you save photos out of the conversation and onto (unsecure) external storage.

The latter part is the critical bit here; by comparing fingerprints out-of-band you can guarantee that your keys haven't been intercepted and replaced during exchange.

TextSecure has the option to lock the app after a timeout (or on command), and not unlock it until a passcode is given. I suspect Signal has something similar.

All that demonstrates is that interlink between the ISP and other transit providers isn't saturated. By using a VPN you change the routing of your request, you don't just mask the endpoint. A VPN'd request that gets carried o

Is there any evidence of that actually happening? By that I mean Netflix being specifically throttled. To date, we've yet to see any evidence that Netflix-originated traffic has been targeted. The interlink capacity has been under di

The Verizon/Level3 Netflix performance issue is also the consequence of a peering dispute between Level3 and Verizon, by admission of both Verizon and Level3 - not a consequence of Verizon specifically throttling Netflix traffic. It&
