Do we think Tesla looks at these? Looks like at leasthe first handful require code execution privileges initially which is hopefully preventing most of the damage.

I just bought a new Apple TV and I love that thing. The quality is so much nicer, the remote control feels great, you get Dolby Vision, and no ads anywhere in the main app. It's my third one, they tend to last a long time IMHO, you get

I think people regularly trade quality for cheaper stuff. It's not exactly on the box that they have dark ui patterns too. It's also a moving target, they'll just creep the ads in until people start leaving

Came here to quote the same exact part. The author is hilarious and savage but it seems appropriately. Amazing prose and sad state of affairs

Is this mostly datacenter tech or something that might end up in consumer desktops etc? I've certainly never heard of alternative cooling tech beyond aluminum or maybe copper heatsinks so definitely interesting. Makes sense in DCs cert

I don't understand how you think this isn't nefarious based on your own post. I didn't ask my car to basically give a backdoor to all my texts and contacts to law enforcement. If that exists, it is certainly being used. I fin

2100 years ago was before Christ and at least a few people think he's pretty important. Seems reasonable to assume there was enough mysticism that people would believe it.

I was under the impression that regular use of rocket fuel made a lot of land extremely toxic.

Not in the article but what was the int? To actually kill everyone?

I think the answer is very simple: people don't understand and even if they do then they don't understand that what might seem minor "well whatever, it's just some nails this one time," and it doesn't cross ove

I use assert, but I feel like effort writing assertions in production code could be spent writing any and/or more thorough automated tests. Even if the tests are slow, you won't affect production speed. You usually can test far mo

My mistake. I think my point stands. Google benefits from location data and ends up having to hand it over to law enforcement to the detriment of customers. Apple doesn't do either.

For people who talk a lot of crap about Apple for advertising privacy but not delivering: Google responded to the government 84% of the time "with some data" out of 20,000 times requested in 2 years. Apple received 13 requests and

ruby-prof for Ruby and VisualVM or the profiler built into IntelliJ are all pretty good.

This is a really cool project. I wish I was better at doing electronics construction, wish I could just buy one too. 40 hours of life on a coin battery is pretty impressive.

Just because it's unenforceable doesn't mean you shouldn't make a rule. In fact it seems just the opposite, that's exactly the time to make a rule. If it were enforceable you wouldn't need a rule, you could just enf

Maybe they were optimizing battery or some other metric that wasn't necessarily prediction performance.

For whoever is downvoting me, not sure why. You can get a storage plan for $1/month for 200GB and 2TB for $10. Not sure how you could possibly compare that to the price of the phone, that would take decades to break even.

iCloud is very inexpensive relatively speaking. And even the smallest plans have a very large amount of storage.

Clojure has a Prolog library written for it called core.logic. I definitely didn't know Prolog well enough to make good use of all the esoteric function names but it seemed cool. https://github.com/clojure/core.log

Wasn't there a major lawsuit long ago between Netscape and Microsoft over software bundling. Pretty sure it Microsoft in reaction made Internet Explorer free to avoid the monopoly claim effectively. This bankrupted Netscape because the

Bad rap comes from the inconsistency of the early APIs. The ability to interleave code and HTML was also tacky and never taken seriously but I think touted highly by some as a killer feature. The language is very unplanned, go look at an eq

In what way is it not rigorous? I've never read it but it definitely seems interesting to have a "good" but non-rigorous science book. Does it just hand-wave over some things to get to other important topics?

Definitely interesting TFa points out that Amazon was one of the biggest benefactors from Webvan because they learned from their mistakes and even got people and robot tech later from it.

I hardly think being a virtuoso programmer is something to shun. Not everyone has to do it but it's not a bad thing. Also, as the speed of processors has basically stopped but we get more and more cores, things like Clojure's atom

People tend to say Lisps cater towards smaller dev shops. Clojure spends a lot of time trying to keep things simple though. They are relatively opinionated about a lot of stuff. I've seen some relatively large projects with a lot of de
