I'm in America, and I've certainly never had a conversation where this level of sexism was mentioned. The worst I've heard is a creepy coworker who likes to give back rubs. For all the reasons in the article, I think it'

I agree with you, but I also have many friends who are on a neverending quest to make their wallet smaller and slimmer. I think a part of it might be society figuring out just how much someone really needs to carry in the digital age.

I don't understand why they didn't first contact the website owners. Isn't this exactly what the WHOIS technical contact is for?

It's a bit odd that they don't stop launching new VMs on the old hardware. That would allow people who wanted to control the transition to just stop and start their VMs.

So strange to launch something like this as a scheduled radio show rather than podcast. Perhaps it's to get the legitimacy of satellite radio, perhaps because SiriusXM wrote a check.

Asking people to do something before allowing them into your bar is not slavery. You don't need me to tell you that saying it is diminishes the great injustice that slavery is and was. My reading of it wasn't even that the bouncer

Yes, it's called a boostback burn, and it's been a part of every landing attempt thus far. The first stage has burned so much fuel at the stage separation that it takes much less to return it home than it did to accelerate it. You

In this specific case they don't actually have enough extra fuel to do a boostback burn, meaning the landing site has to be significantly down range of the launch site (400 mi IIRC).

Don't worry about not remembering things. Your brain is very good at keeping track of the things you actually use frequently, it happens automatically.

This is my question as well. With the exception of some very specialized applications, I can't see why any of this would have a significant impact on the real world performance of actual services.

Not astronomical gains. Ignoring the technical challenges of a biological system like DNA, base 4 can encode the same data in exactly half as many characters, so capacity would double.

I, for one, deeply appreciate any project which isn't afraid to do things differently when they decide there's a better way. I see it similar to iOS not supporting Flash, or Angular 2.0 rethinking things. You can't change eve

As said in the article though, spinning and weaving actually takes up much more time than sewing. I would say the biggest innovations in clothing were the cotten gin, the power loom, and dry cleaning. Before dry cleaning, a suit had to be u

This is not done in parallel. Only one block of javascript is being executed at any given time. There is also no concept of preemption, if your function runs forever no other other events or callbacks will be handled.

I just want to point out that by Spotify's own accounting, they pay out an average of less than a penny per play. For someone like Taylor Swift who would otherwise be selling an album on iTunes for $12.99, this is massive pay cut.

It's actually rather difficult to get a operating certificate to run a for hire operation. That said, I completely agree that this was the wrong way to go about changing policy.

To provide a bit of a counterpoint to this post, I would say that coding is a creative pursuit, and we wouldn't expect an artist or a woodworker to say they weren't in love with their craft. The only difference is that programmin

The application is when you need something to be positioned next to something else as an overlay. Like a dropdown, details on hover, etc. Like the dropdown here: http://github.hubspot.com/select/docs/welcome/
