I literally just came from my local Apple Store where I got my Retina MBP serviced for two clusters of hot pixels. The Genius had to look up the policy to see if it was covered, and came back saying that Retina MBP screens will be replaced

Thanks for the correction, that explains so much--I was picturing a lot of DCOM craziness.

The takeaway I got from this article is that some women in tech find the very idea of male allies condescending: http://readwrite.com/2014/10/09/technology-sexism-male-allie... What do you think?

Two Macs here, both with Steam, both have the problem. Oh, they both have VirtualBox as well.

Ruby and Java both lack first class functions--functions can't return values that can be directly called with () (unless this has changed with Java 8?).

I think csandreasen wasn't saying that the complaints weren't warranted; just that it might have been the refusal to fly, rather than the whistleblowing per se, that stalled his career.

I found Middleman extremely nice for generic websites. It doesn't even have blog-specific functionality built in (though there is a plugin if you want it). http://middlemanapp.com/

Might have something to do with the Geneva Auto Show that starts this week, where their automaker partners had already announced they'd be showing this stuff.

Seems unlikely this will be standard equipment on any car (for several reasons, but mostly the one you stated).

My understanding of the situation (based on no inside knowledge, just reading car blogs) was that Sync was good until Ford decided to take development in-house and turned it into MyFord Touch. The reviews were universally positive til then,

Cool, definitely something that has needed to exist for a long time now! What's the story with security? It looks like you are using Rserve, are you also using AppArmor or lxc or something to prevent users from doing bad things? I didn

Do you mind elaborating on those nasty side effects? (I use with(context) for a small but important feature in the product I work on.)

You can, that's our app[1] works; it's essentially a webapp hosted in a QtWebKit widget. And Brackets[2] and Light Table[3] work similarly. 1: http://www.rstudio.com/ide/ 2: http://www.brackets.io&

In the Shiny framework we think less about short-lived HTTP requests, and more about long-lived (websocket) sessions. Reactive expressions cache their results within or across sessions, depending on where they are declared (this is just a n

Gotcha. Well, I'm sure we can arrange an eval if you e-mail us. Forgive us for not having these options on our website (yet), it took us a little bit by surprise that some companies might want the option to relicense.

Thanks for the feedback! It's true that Shiny isn't designed for blazing performance (it's built on R, after all) but the pensions app is particularly slow--I believe it's actually the calculations, not the plotting, tha

In case you haven't seen this Charles Nutter post from a few months back, you may find it interesting. The TL;DR is that dynamic features in languages come at a cost (but he says "prove me wrong"). http://blog.head

Microsoft does have an up-or-out policy, but they take pains to try to avoid the problem you point out. Management is not considered "up" from dev, but a parallel track (whose bottom rung is a little higher than the bottom rung of

It doesn't happen on a per-team basis, at least the curve isn't strictly enforced at that level. That really would be insane. As you go up and up the org chart to bigger and bigger collection sizes, the curve is more strictly enfo
