Fragmentation robs all joy from maintaining an Android application. The majority of bug reports I get I can't reproduce, because the bug doesn't occur in a simulated version of the same Android version, and I don't own the pa

This is why I'm very skeptical of the long-term health of food replacements like Soylent. We know vegetables are good for you. We're not really sure why. How can we possibly create a healthy food-replacement system if we don'

Who would admit to lying sometimes? Almost everyone. Who would admit to being a liar? Fewer people. But what is a liar other than someone who tells lies sometimes? I agree that the idea something "is" something else is a tricky on

I think the video is sped up, and while it may be sped up for a perfectly innocent reason, not indicating which parts of the video are sped up or by how much creates at least the appearance of possible impropriety, especially in a product d

Can you explain a bit more to help me understand how 1gbps is enough for 500 customers? I would have imagined that during peak times, you might have, say, half of your customers streaming video at the same time, which is only 250KiB/s
