   Well that's a pretty silly way to look at this. No one needs a car that can go faster than 85mph, but pretty much every car on the market can break that limit. What makes this different?

   Try SlingTV. They've got a month free trial, and I've been pretty satisfied so far.

   The author of the change participated in a Reddit thread discussing it when the update came out. Thought he made a pretty good case for it. https://reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1qw73v/til_oracle_...

   We've had pretty good success compiling cjsx with gulp-cjsx. The one annoyance I've noticed is that it's just a tad more finicky about whitespace and parentheses/brackets than normal coffeescript, but I suppose that&#x27

   I used to have that actually. For what it's worth (probably not much), it appears to be fixed in El Capitan

    Is there any automated tool that would catch a visual-only issue with a favicon that doesn't throw any errors or warnings?

    I like their interface a lot, but I'm not sure how I feel about the challenges they actually have for JS. It seems like there's a lot of challenges that are trivially solvable with Array.prototype.map, and then a bunch more that a

    I wonder how many of these are found by hand versus with automated tools like Asan and AFL. Seems like some of these would be really hard to spot...

    I enjoyed it well enough. Didn't feel quite mature (refactoring tools, error handling, etc) and optionals are still a little frustrating, but it definitely feels like it has potential.

    Huh. Well, I don't really have a problem with any of those except maybe location, and that's behind a privacy setting in iOS. Pebble also provides an option to opt out of sending the anonymized data, which puts them on better foot

    I mostly just use it for really specific topics (sports I follow, TV shows I watch, etc) where Reddit provides perhaps the largest discussion board for that topic. I've generally found that HN covers tech news better, and that most sub

    I used to be pretty on the FitBit train, but I don't think that I'm in their camp any more. Refusing to integrate with Healthkit, purposefully building their challenges feature to reject data input through their APIs, and charging

    3.3 million high school graduates this year, so wouldn't the 99th percentile be the top 33k of them? Seems like that would be more than enough to fill Stanford and the Ivys' classes.

    My Photos app was launching because it got reset at the default action when my iPhone connected. It's possible that's what is happening to you too.

    I've actually heard good things about turmeric. If you don't mind me asking, why imported Indian turmeric though? Is it different from what you would get in the States (aka what I've got in my pantry)?

    Exactly. "It works, except when it doesn't". Considering he even says that it only holds 88% of the time, you would expect 1 or 2 games out of every teams 12-game season to go the "wrong" way. That is more than enou

    Considering that a self-hosted and an Apple-hosted iCloud are functionally identical as far as most users are concerned, and that any user who actually cares will take the time to do what you've done, I don't imagine Apple will ev
