AFAIK, signal doesn't work without GCM.

So should complicated and problematic issues for which consensus is difficult be solved by brute force?

I prefer Pycharm because of multiple reasons. 1. Same key bindings and similar functionality out of the box across a lot of languages. 2. Language injection, i.e, have a string in your python function containing sql or html or js or anythin

Nice question. Although brand value concerns will trump these problems in practice.

But what users tell facebook may be completely incorrect, and might be more a reflection of how they want others to see their profile, for example liking things which may make them seem cool. Google on the other hand, should know your deepe

I think everyone can agree with you on the "per GB front". NN does nothing to prohibit data plans which cap at some GB limit. The issue is, the carrier shouldn't get to decide the weight of different GBs. It's about all

It's not just about the compiled code, which shouldn't be impossible to reverse engineer, although very difficult. It is more about the data, which will be the uncopyable advantage.

This makes me wonder, if redhat started in this cloud poly era, would it even be possible for them to succeed.

It's just Android though. On iOS you don't really have a choice of distributing outside the App Store, whether you are fortnite or even facebook.

This may work for Amazon only because their own brand is also directly known to the user, and a lot of users would also be visitors of their website. But for a newcomer trying to sell digital goods via an app, good luck

Legally?

I think this point can't be emphasized enough. I read somewhere that Apple wouldn't want to go back to those days when some applications were more important than their platform, and when they were at the mercy of Adobe or Microsof

Raw speed. Although julia has several nice features (multiple dynamic dispatch, macros), the raw speed obtained by annotating code with types is mind blowing. You can for the most part write like python, then annotate the slowest parts with

Interesting, How does one disable the killer for a process? I thought on linux it was only possible to adjust oom scores.

I think this is a clear case of the perfect being the enemy of the good. The cases you are highlighting are important and deserve discussion. However, if we were to wait for the perfect solution, we may never start. This I think gets starte

You don't need any foundation in lisp to understand it. The exercises may seem a little hard, but as long as you go through those, you will gain a lot.

And there should be a Peter Norvig review too for SICP, just in the vicinity of PG's. Link: https://www.amazon.com/review/R403HR4VL71K8/ref=cm_cr_rdp_pe...

Your comment is very insightful. This is some new perspective for me.

I think you are an outlier in that regard. Almost nobody I know is using any other messaging app instead of WhatsApp, and I just graduated out of University so my social circle consists of a lot of fresh engineering grads. It is hard for me

I think they had turned to subscription instead of one off purchase after some time.

The point of highlighting Apple's behaviour is not to discount Google's, or to prove an aggregate bias in HN's comments, but to put to light the fact that another corporation much respected for it's stance on privacy as

See the top comment on this thread(and other comments too) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16414703 . I am not able to find the HN thread on Tim Cook's comments, but here is a WaPo link: https://www.wash

Not just that, but their CEO was even invited to a Chinese government conference where he backed their vision of the 'open' Internet.

When Tim Cook backs China’s vision of an ‘open’ Internet in a Chinese forum, HN says that at least Apple is providing some service to the Chinese users, who will have worse services if apple drops out of China. Apple routinely blocks apps o

Non blocking disk I/O is one thing where NT is really ahead of all nix OSes. Unlike say network IO where we have all sorts of platforms(go, node) which allow you to scale by doing async IO, there aren't much options for disk I&#x

Just curious, how does github manages to render org files so flawlessly, including embedded code snippets. I thought emacs was the only popular environment supporting org files.

Well, they may, but they might be more content with long term capital growth. The thing is GOOG isn't as much vulnerable to the pressure of activist investors for dividend (like Carl Icahn in Apple's case), as much as AAPL is.
