I guess it depends on the meaning of "saving"? iPhone unit sales have been essentially flat but revenue has been rising because of unit prices and increases in services revenue. Six Colors has a great set of charts to show the tre

Yes, totally true. Apple did face a relative drop in the iPhone 6s year (2015) because iPhone 6 demand was so insane. It's possible that this year's results will be soft.

It's possible that this turns out to be a real sign, and I think other commenters have some good reasons why it could be. That said, I have been an AAPL stock owner and watcher for a few years and have noticed a pattern. Every Septembe

Isn't that what the previous answer was trying to say? Paraphrasing "MemSQL has these features which we think Apache Ignite and others do not." All things being equal, I agree that open source solutions are the best. Things a

I found that on first run, the results returned were blank. Restarting fixed that.

Oh, cool! If someone can get a scaffolding around the Edge embedding in one of those libraries for Go, etc., that would be a nice cross-platform solution for building HTML-based apps that are much slimmer than Electron ones.

If you've got any Electron apps, you kinda sorta do already have Chrome installed. That said, I generally agree that requiring Chrome to run an app is not great.

There are a few wrappers around system web views in various languages (I've seen Python and Go, at least). The problem is Windows... Apparently only crufty old IE is available as a system default embeddable webview on Windows. Had it b

Something like this would be great for video, and I've been watching a lot of talks in video form lately. Generally, though, I'm watching talks on iOS devices... bouncing between devices makes everything more complicated.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll give that a shot

This is really cool. We already have a large GraphQL schema that we'd like to make some changes to. It'd be nice to be able to bring in our existing schema to visualize.

Dreamhost is pretty close to self-hosting. I can SSH in. I can download all of the files in my Wordpress installation, copy them elsewhere, dump my MySQL db, copy that elsewhere and have it running on another machine. The only way it differ

My DreamHost shared hosting WordPress is pretty turnkey. It's not the most user-friendly UI, but it really is as simple as "register domain" on one page, "install WordPress" on another, and then setup my admin accou

Doesn't seem that odd to me. It's not Python 3, but requires a not-ancient version of Python 2.

As noted later in the thread, this is specifically for people who are overseas at the time of the election and not broadly. That said, this system seems like a bizarre choice given the apparent security issues discussed in the thread.

The MacBook Pro line was just refreshed 2 weeks ago. I wonder if people were holding off on buying a new machine because of the keyboard issues (if people knew about those) or just the knowledge that new machines were likely to come soon.

We're using Prettier for formatting our JavaScript and I totally agree with you that the right answer here is to "stop thinking about formatting" and just let the tools deal with it.

I worked at a company in 2002 that used tuplespaces for managing distribution of searches to worker machines. It worked really well! I don't remember us ever having trouble with that part of our system.

Holy cow! There's a whole category for them. How did I miss that?

I agree about the search engine. I'm a big fan of Dash, but Dash is currently built around documentation rather than cheat sheets. If someone loaded up Dash with a bunch of cheat sheets, that would be really handy.

I agree that it's simplistic, but it captures the fact that organizations need money to survive. Yes, companies offering "free" products have to serve two masters: the ones who use the product, and the ones who pay the bills.

The sucky thing about this is that the way Amazon pays out Kindle Unlimited reads is through a pool they create each month. They essentially take the size of the pool (say, $20 million) and divide by the total pages read and pay out to each
