The track pad on the X1 carbon is worse than Apple's, but the keyboard is heavenly.

I use Ubuntu 16.04 on an X1 carbon 4th gen and the battery life is fine, I haven't had to worry about it. Probably 7-8 hours of normal coding, browsing etc?

Actually, I think alpha-go would be more in the "looked cool" category. It was an applied engineering task, not so much a fundamental approach change like adversarial networks. That's not to take away from the monumental natu

Does anyone else feel like if there's enough evidence that a public site is noticing this ship loitering, that intelligence agencies the world over are plenty aware of it already? What are the chances this website has a "scoop&quo

Except it works just fine for RethinkDB because it was designed from the ground up to efficiently send changes from the shards directly to open connections. It's a design tradeoff postgres didn't make and they get other benefits r

I talked with them a while back. It's possible now that they're at Google they've changed their back end to work without mongo or whatever, but at least pre-google, that's my understanding.

That's what literally everyone does for changes on mongo, from Meteor to Firebase. There isn't another way

One of the big differences that RethinkDB has going for it is that its connections are based on coroutines, so it's really efficient to have thousands of open connections. Postgres uses one process per connection, so it's much har

Oh, by the way, I bought your RH book. Liking it so far!

The not-yet-launched but almost ready Horizon Cloud was also going to be a route for monetization. Unfortunately, it just didn't quite make it :/

It is stable, performant, and has an amazing query language!

by habitue 10y ago
Personally I'm really glad we didn't go that route. ReQL is an amazing, well thought out language. You could make the same argument about Mongo should have emulated SQL. In practice other factors dominate.

I agree 100%. This means both processes are insecure, though probably it's a matter of degrees, since you at least have the apple approval process filtering out blatant fuckery

Yes of course, your family needs to eat and you need to eat. If you're most concerned with just making enough money to eat, you have a huge number of jobs available. If your app's failure vs. success is the difference between eati

Can we drop the whole "need to eat" language when talking about software development? We're talking about people with abundant opportunity to make tons of money. Tugging on the heartstrings with "they need to eat" o

The reason crypto in the browser is dangerous is because the crypto algorithms come from the server (they aren't built into the browser) so you have to verify them every time you go to the site to know they're doing everything pro

Uh,no man. When the rabid anti-SJW's go after someone they hound them, send them rape and death threats, hack them etc. It's insane. Douglas Crockford didn't deserve to be disinvited, but the accusers also don't deserve

So given that he did this anonymously, I'm assuming this was an outlet for him to vent frustration he feels, rather than to garner the social benefits of sympathy. Even if they're rich, it seems humans still want someone else to u

This seems dangerously close to inciting a brigade against these two people. I don't agree with their complaints or nodevember's response to them, but we need to be super careful not to aim the crazies at these people personally.

Oh, there is a huge difference between the objective fact "Life's not fair" and the belief that it shouldn't be. No matter what your definition of fairness is.
