Based on the overview alone (of course I can't read the entire report that fast!), this is exactly what I expect a spy agency would be doing -- if they were not then I would be disappointed. What exactly in the admittedly shortened lis

It's probably not a favorable idea here, but luck probably plays a large part in converting from X to Y a month. Of course, perseverance over a two-year period increases your chances, so it still has a ton of value.

So I had some doubts about the numbers at first, but a rough quick calculation 12,000 / (1.3 billion (people) * .5 (age 25-54)) ≈ 0.002% of the available population a day creating a startup (1 in every 50,000) which does not seem too f

At first, I considered it more clever than anything. Using data to reduce ticketable-offenses for their drivers (in an undeniably unethical way). However, my view quickly soured when I read: > If those clues were not enough to confirm a

Do people really find language-specific books helpful in better understanding a programming language long-term? Without ever implementing something, I don't think my memory would hang on to some language feature for long.

I think its a bit weird to think that Twitch needs to act as the parent of a thirty-five year old man. It's his own judgement in the end. As an aside, sitting for 24 hours would not kill an otherwise healthy man, there was probably som

Just a slight warning, not everyone wants to read this at work most likely. I am not quite sure why I expected anything else though.

I don't think its really all that magical when looked at as a giant component. In the context of the react-redux lib, its really similar to just having one large top level component that contains your entire state and all methods you w

That pricing seems insane :o. Even on the lite setup, each conversation would need to have $2 in value, on the standard plan it would need $2.50 in value (I know there is an increase in features but an increase in price per conversation as

For those wondering Chrome v53 was released about 6 months ago. That's quite amazing.

My mistake, I didn't mean to marginalize the 1% decrease, but I don't think even its biggest proponents expected demonetization to help short-term.

I think you read a bit too much into that title, it's just saying that the cash shortage is having an impact. It quite often mentions that it's nothing crazy within it, but uses the anecdotes to humanize a story; otherwise, it pre

Wow, as a member of a blue-collar family this is downright insulting. The gross generalization of an entire social class is anything but healthy. Funny enough, I just finished reading the article and comments from the story on what it'

I'm always amazed at the employee counts for Twitter, Snapchat, etc. 1,500 people just seems astounding for a chat application; understandably, there will be other departments than engineering, but I'm still left amazed.

By the looks of it, I could just throw at it some response that is massive and it would still attempt to grab it? If this is really being just run as a proxy setup, the jsonbrowse-proxy might not need the isomorphic-fetch lib, in which case

I'll take the counter-point on this one. I picked it up after it was mentioned in the YC's Summer Reading List; however, I found it to be a tire to finish. The reasons and explanations given seem to touch around a technical, but n

The 'let' should have made me re-think the problem.

I think everyone will need a bit more context around what you do know prior to answering the question. Front-end development has somewhat quieted down from the crazy pace of the past few years -- or maybe I just settled into a stack and h

Doesn't this have more to do with Babel and less to do with Webpack? I think this originates with how Babel treats ES6 Modules differently from CommonJS, and if you were to instead do: const foo = require('./bar').fo

It seems to me that optimizing for the 80% is exactly what they did. The easiest buttons to get to are those at the bottom, and coincidentally they are the most common. I am guessing that is why AirDrop the ~1% case is hoisted to the top. A

I don't know, I don't think my main problem was with the CLI rather how hard it was to just get something small going. In contrast, node takes all of 5 seconds to setup a small library, install dependencies, clearly list required

The CLI is new to .NET Core, and .NET Framework/.NET Core are practically different platforms. Despite that, I don't get why I should struggle that much trying to get a simple empty project going.

Admittedly, I would be much better off using VS to create the project/install packages/etc but I thought I no longer needed to, hell they were providing yeoman generators for .NET Core (but they weren't always updated at the

I just took a brief look at the tutorial and it would still get me caught up on the same issues. The class library created by `dotnet new -t lib` had a different target framework than most tutorials, and short of just copying and pasting in

.NET Core really needs to figure out how to become somewhat accessible. I (.NET <= 4.6 developer as my day job) recently tried to setup a new project after it hit 1.0 and I was extremely disappointed. The first step was to create a new p

Awesome game, my basic strategy revolved around capturing as much as possible, as fast as possible regardless of troop counts. Then just trying to confuse them by going on as many fronts as possible.

That thought requires the users to actually use new and unique passwords on every reset. If the attacker knows that your password is "Password1!!!!", it's pretty easy to guess that the next time it asks you for a password it

In the same spirit, can we please do away with the idea of expiring passwords -- and then enforcing that we can't even re-use our last X number of passwords. It just causes locked out accounts, written down passwords or adding on one m

I don't think anyone thinks its economical long-term over beans/maker, just that it is cheaper than going to a store to get coffee. The convenience of having a serviceable cup of espresso in less than 30 seconds (no warm up time!)

Apparently 12 servers were seized by French authorities. This is huge and completely surprising. I felt like What.cd would just always be here but I guess everyone felt the same about Oink as well. They just had their nine year anniversary
