Yes entirely. I actually went and played with one in the Apple Store a couple of days after release. At the time I was still using my Lumia 820. They feel about the same so I agree. However consider the 4, 4s, 5, 5s. There's nothing li

OMG. I was just looking at one of my children's books earlier and came up with exactly this idea. Two hours later, sit down on HN and someone has already done it. Awesome work whoever did this!

Call me crazy but I reckon Nokia will splash some cash on Jolla, pull a fast one with Nokia HERE (the big selling point for WP8 if you ask me) and port it to Jolla only then hit the market again lean and clean. No one is buying Windows RT a

I'm suggesting that he needs to be accountable on his own terms for his actions and should be held to the same standards as his judgement. It's not a big deal for him as a prosecutor. Perhaps it'll be uncomfortable for a bit

In this case the prosecutor's witheld evidence did result in another murder by the real perpetraitor 2 years later so your point is especially valid. The prosecutor should have that on his shoulders as well.

It's not about revenge. Our motivation to not do things is driven by consequences. When the balance of power exists so that those who determine consequences for people can do so out of self-interest, they need to be held up to the same

by csmuk 13y ago
My point as the GP entirely. You can only hold a prosecutor to a "perfect standard" if they have the power to ruin a person's life through self-interest. That perfect standard should only be enforced the other way as well in

Well I'm not sure it has anything to do with vulnerabilities or not. They do a large feature add on minor updates between 6.x and 6.x+1 which may or may not add new modules etc. I design stuff to be resilient to host reboots. Then agai

6.4->6.5 is a minor update. yum update, reboot that is all. Just works. Done it, thanks to ansible, to 24 machines today in about 30 minutes after I QA'ed the packages on my staging machine, DO droplet and laptop. Between 6.x and 7.

Well they fail to prevent falling on you very well as the link shows. A lot of the accidents are from spurious behaviour and unrecoverable flight profiles.

I disagree. CompSci is mainly userland. Most EE courses these days have the majority of a comp sci course built in. MIT actually blur the line between both. Pure comp sci will not help you understand why your RS485 bus drops have noise, why

You really need an EE or CompSci degree these days. That's the first point of call. I don't have either but it was a little different when I started. I managed to build a reputation up on the side and go from there. Eventually peo

To be honest I rather prefer a non-retina screen. I've got a chance to play with an rMBP and my wife has a Retina iPad mini. The line details on UIs are too thin so contrast disappears and the text verticals are too thin so it hinders

I just ate a fish finger sandwich for breakfast, inspired by your post :) Mayo+pepper in it and it's one of life's joys. You have to fry the fish fingers and drink tea with it though.
