Okay, but using an OS without memory protection to achieve this seems dangerous. What if a buggy program accidentally blows up their work? (do they somehow install version control?)

Keep in mind that this is the VC that said that they should be able to take back the stock of employees that quit. (obviously that doesn't compare to the horrors of Columbus)

1. Dropbox asks for root 2. Dropbox does not use sandboxing (at least, the one I have doesn't) So, they do.

Getting an Asian-farmed tilapia instead of a US-farmed catfish would not be good.

To me, the idea of eating something potentially mercury-toxic like tuna or swordfish when expecting something like salmon is pretty terrifying. I stay far away from those things. That seems unlikely to happen, though. If it's just arct

If you're going to lose them, 3 pairs of AirPods is about the same price as one pair of incredible custom-molded IEMs. They'll also come with a cord, so you won't lose them. (and they won't sound terrible) I'm confu

Would be funny if it backfired - "the Samsung has more Fs!"

The point is that anyone that knows what "f/1.8" means knows that a sensor of that size won't perform well. It's a weirdly technical term to include.

Well, they work... sometimes.

Try to run with EarPods and (depending on the size of your ear, perhaps) it will happen. I do use custom UE IEMs so that isn't an issue for me. However, my main concern is accidentally dropping them when removing them - if they fall on

Wired headphones: - "Just work" - Never run out of batteries (in less time than a cross-country flight!) - Have impeccable audio quality (well, not AirPods, but...) - Can be hung on your neck for a quick conversation - Are protect

I have an "analog" personal laptop and a "force touch" work laptop. The analog one is _so much better_. I understand that they need to do this for waterproofing, but the real button just feels so much clickier.

Also, Switzerland isn't a member of the EU anyways.

Browsers used to just embed OS X's built-in PDF reader, which is excellent and incredibly fast and smooth. At some point, they decided to write their own (in JavaScript, I guess), which scroll and perform terribly.

I work in an office with a dog. I detest it, the dog distracts me constantly with barking and such. I genuinely believe that the dog has a negative financial effect on the company - I'd be much more productive without it, and productiv

Neither of those noisy (distracting) things belong in an office, though. Offices are a place for focus.

String isn't a reference type in Swift, but yes.

nil is just shorthand for Optional.None, which is Just Another Value. (sort of, really you can make nil translate to any type, but please don't)

Yes, I stack this process by buying grocery shopping during the wash cycle, bring the stuff to my apartment, then go back, transfer to dryer, go home and cook something, then return to pick up. Or, like, read a book, whatever.

I haven't used any of these, but I have experience with seeing FlyCleaners operate in Williamsburg, so it could be that Washio drivers were less willing use bike lanes as parking spaces and believe in stop signs, yielding to crosswalks

I was hoping that we had programmatic access to vibrations in the Contacts framework so that I could make an app to set an override vibration for all of my contacts, then set my default to no vibration, but we don't.

Phone calls cover my iPhone with a full-screen modal and make it completely flip out for 20 seconds, buzzing or making noise. It's very demanding and distracting, I wouldn't mind it as much if they appeared just like any other app

The dropdowns are hilarious for non-security reasons, you have to choose your favorite artist... from a list of about 12 artists. I suppose it could be an improvement on the misogynist, homophobic, and Facebook-able "mother's maid

I just want to send all non-contact calls to voicemail, and defer those notifications until the end of the day. The idea that anyone can immediately demand synchronous communication from anyone else is really weird.

Paris runs smaller trains at greater frequency (especially on weekends), and it's so much better . I wish we'd run G train-sized trains on the weekends, twice as frequently. Also, merging LIRR and NJT and through-running RER styl
