By the time you add airport parking and transport from the airport to the city (unless you take the subway) it's break-even on price for DC->NYC. It's easily break-even on timing given that front door to train in Union Station

I did, for 7 or 8 years. It was good for my writing skills (and fun) but it was a little like talking into a vacuum.

We had an "interesting" bug where we inadvertently ended up polling postgres advisory locks around 6 million times per minute from a cluster of 200 servers. It added about 20% load to the database, enough to be anomalous but not e

The golden triangle is a bit much. We started out on that route, but pulling up to the first marked site and seeing 50 coaches and throngs of old Chinese ladies all taking photographs in the same direction was offputting. But, we then left

On what timescale? I.e. trees take time to grow and accumulate carbon. As I understand it, the climate clock is ticking - there's a threshold beyond which some runaway effects kick in.

I'd guess maneuverability. A multi rotor can stop or radically change direction in a much shorter distance than fixed wing. Also hovering.

Yeah it can. The keys are small, but it has velocity and aftertouch - it's nice and expressive. Build quality is good.

I got into programming as a kid through a desire to make music (my first program was a "song" written in pascal, playing a series beep tones at different frequencies and durations.) I got into trackers (fast, impulse, buzz) in my

There are so many compliance reviewers who get stuck on our "high entropy" approach to passwords when doing security reviews for a sale. "But what about special characters? Mix of upper & lower? etc." I'm very g

Try smart launcher, and set up your own gestures. I haven't been a fan of gestures either historically, but smart launcher has converted me. Single finger up / down / left / right; double finger up / down / lef

It sounds like your team is mixed between on-site and remote. I've never seen that work well - you need to at minimum have a remote-first team or department for effective communication processes to be engrained. Otherwise, the co-locat

I'm no fan of Facebook's privacy track record, but this seems like a pretty alarmist story. Accurate transcription is hard. You need hundreds or thousands of hours of training data to get to WERs that consumers will accept on a si

Carlos Rovelli has an excellent book called The Order of Time which helps a lot with grokking this. There is no universal clock. Time is relative.

Have you tried, for example, the ebay/UPS integration? It's a disaster. It's expected by their customer support that while the UPS site shows the ebay credentials that they won't work for at least an hour. Have you inter

USPS won't attempt last mile delivery for me, requiring me to drive into town to pick up packages. The other two will deliver to my door. Post office staff here are surly. UPS and Fedex drivers are bright and friendly. Obviously it var

They seem to be dinosaurs. If the UPS website is any indication, they're deeply dysfunctional. Mind you, they're both worlds above USPS.

Yeah I have one of those too. They recently added sync (through your phone) to dropbox/evernote, which makes it even more useful. It's a great device - zero distraction digital notetaking. According to one of their support agents,

Unfortunately they're not safe either. Competitors in a niche will hire sock puppet accounts to negative review each other.

Awesome! Another vote for (a simple way) to do chips. I've wanted to have poker games with my team (which is distributed) for a long time. This is 90% of the way there. Update - I just found pokerchips.io. Check it out; it has a simple

There's lots of good sequencers at that price point, or cheaper. E.g. check out NI's Maschine range.
