It's a problem I have. Apple don't have docking stations; it's frustrating unhooking multiple devices so I can wander to a meeting room, only to hook them up again later. A single cable would be amazing (even more so if i

Having worked in a couple of teams with prevalent work-from-home policies, it can mask (or even encourage) some really unhealthy behaviour in depressed teams. While we might want the industry to move that way (eventually), it was probably

While I was a little sad about the API too, what would you propose that's better? Connection-less network IO seems like it'd very easily devolve to a "giant options object", and this lets you at least incrementally buil

Yes. Flynn wasn't complete enough to use. Dokku was too much of a moving target. Deis requires substantially more resource than I'm willing to stand up for a minimal project. My ideal solution would be a Dokku-like on a hardened C

I'm not surprised. The calendar in the new iOS Outlook app is almost 1:1 with Sunrise's UX.

You could send large amounts of data to an IP in sporadic bursts, find which graph correlates, get their account number and use that as a starting point for social engineering the helpdesk staff. Elaborate, sure, but plausible. The more im

Sure, GNOME may have changed direction. The difference in Linux is (as you're probably aware) there are many, many usable alternatives. If Microsoft or Apple introduced some bad behaviour to their desktop environment, you'd be l

To take this completely off-topic: I was surprised when the SCD had a good effect. I found it wasn't 100% accurate; there were certain food groups I could tolerate, and others that I couldn't. Which the diet accounts for; everyo

If you don't mind my asking -- what is your condition? I've got Ulcerative Colitis, and tried a similar diet (the Specific Carbohydrate Diet) to reasonable success. I've also had a few rounds of Infliximab (Remicade), which

Whenever you take antibiotics, you typically 'wipe' gut bacteria. Maybe not to the same degree as in a clinical trial, but you certainly kill a lot -- healthy and unhealthy alike. Which is why several medical practitioners will

I strongly agree with this. With the new iOS, Apple have caught up on some of the Android features I've wanted to see in that platform. My current phone is aging, and I was ready to cut over. However -- at an eye-watering $1000NZD m

I grabbed myself a http://bruer.co . They're not perfect devices, but for the price, they're an easy way to get into it. The nicer variants are all $200US+ (and then, for me, international shipping :().

Isn't this just a CDN? ISPs quite happily host Akamai and Google nodes -- are they being paid for maintenance of those? Empirically, from an old job, the answer is no (in fact, we had to petition for quite a while to get some Googl

I got really excited about Basis! It looked to tick a _lot_ of my boxes, but I decided I'd hold out on one until there was a published API. I hadn't checked in in a while; I'm sad to hear it's still missing.

What you did say, and are saying, is that it's banter. You then go on to give qualified examples of banter that apply to the other gender ("don't (usually) get rape threats"; "do get death threats"; &quot

Sure, I'm aware that costs are higher at Whole Foods :). Sorry, I shouldn't have left that unqualified. I've been elsewhere too; they just had a selection which reminded me the most of a supermarket at home (partly because t

I think this deserves extra attention. America has a weird cultural thing at play here; the religious right seem to be strongly anti-contraception (the recent Hobby Lobby decision being a good example). Yet, when the inevitable happens an

As a visiting New Zealander, the one thing I've noticed about the American price structure is that food is reasonably expensive, while superfluous goods aren't. A decent-ish pair of shoes is $50USD; a board game off Amazon $35, (

Interesting. I wonder what this implies for authors. Amazon might take a cut currently, but the lion's share ends up with the author -- a royalty based scheme significantly changes the playing field, and I worry that it could be for

Why would I do a `configtest` with a thing that starts or stops a service in the first place? That's what `apachectl configtest` or whatever is for. I wouldn't expect to go to Windows' list of services, right click one and r

Security's something you do in-depth. You might build a perfect app, which correctly sanitizes your DB inputs (and you're right, it's easy these days). That won't necessarily stop $developer making a little PHP interfa

Excellent, thanks! I remember reading http://golang.org/cmd/go/ (specifically, the part about the <meta> tag) a while back and thinking "well, that'd be pretty straightforward to get working"
