Very true, but we are discussing phones, and without glue on my few year old Mac book air, it was less than 10 minutes as there was no glue. Again you're right, it ain't swappable, but it was surprisingly easier than I thought whe

I just filled a complaint, they have a "report this use" link. Took only a minute, whatever it takes to keep people from abusing people and collaboration, especially using the ugly DMCA hammer.

He obviously has a smaller account so Amazon might be less flexible, but it's worth contacting support and explaining the error. Sometimes they do give your money back in my experience.

Seems like a cool project if you already know Clojure and hate the start up time, but also seems like it sidesteps one of the main benefits of Clojure which is Java interop obviously... Which Clojure has to do a fair number of handsprings t

I think you're ignoring that many people might not even read the article at all. Proving comprehension sounds incredibly hard; proving someone has at least tried would probably be a huge step in the right direction compared to the mayh

Very anecdotal but after 5 years of living in San Jose, I was very scared of police. I've never had a problem with police, but the times I did there were terrible. I was pretty appalled at their behavior and I wasn't doing anythin

I'm not against Kotlin, but seemless interoperability and the ability to have both in the same codebase simultaneously does not, in general, mean you can have a lot of your devs skip learning it. In fact, in my experience, projects tha

Tell that to the Open and guys who have been dying for wifi drivers for years. They are definitely not all open. Furthermore, not nearly as many people are running alternative OSes on their phones as they are on other types of computers.

Interesting article but I feel like the metaphor is a little shallow. There are plenty of troublesome topics in computer science that could be compared to Vietnam in the same way, it just feels a little excessive to compare those things to

Having never worked at a gaming company but having a friend who was the head of testing at one very recognizable shop, the answer was definitely no, at least not there. Its definitely a big enough industry that I'm sure some does thoug

Actually a really nice command-line interface with autocomplete to postgres. I'm usually rapidly dissappointed with all the GUI offerings to Postgres so this is a breath of fresh air. Defaults definitely seemed reasonable as per TFA

We're a pretty small shop, not enough time in the day to write these things usually. I'm sure Aaron would love to if we had the time.

A lot of AI apocalists are worried about the "singularity" which is the point at which an AI could program itself and become aware and have a largely negative affect on the world.

Sad to hear. Do you think he's actually going to hand-approve all the warrants? Hopefully it's still better than what the USA had with all the warrantless phone data aggregation.

How many cars do you have driving and how many bicycles? If the number of cars is greater than 47x the number of bikes, might completely flip that outcome. I just read the article about statistics errors including base rate fallacy on HN to

I am a strong proponent of E2E encryption and the right for people to be able to communicate privately, however I thing Brandis is saying generally positive things. If Australia thinks someone is a criminal, and there is an agreed process t

Nice they have a JDBC driver... makes it a lot easier to hook into. After looking at all the C++ jobs on Bloomberg's website, makes sense the schema format looks C++ish.

An amazing feature which was moved to a still accessible extension. Sadly I can't remember the name right now but I found it very recently. Makes understanding HTML nesting rapidly apparent.

Sadly, last I checked, it only had bindings for Linux which was probably the right thing to do but made it hard to try on my Mac workstation. Looks really cool though, like part of Clojure's answer to Julia, which is also pretty cool.

You should try TestFlight, I think you can have a lot of free users for a large number of poeple.

On Uber Pool, perhaps you lock in the price. But on the normal rides, if there is traffic etc I'm pretty sure your fee can vary quite a bit.

If it is merely traffic changes, why is the customer not getting a cheaper ride if the route is shorter? If the customer is paying more, why isn't that money going to the driver?
