I'm very curious to live there at some point in the next 5 years. What things would you have done differently if you could go back to when you first moved there?

Tried it out, and while fun, there was just too much latency for me to enjoy the clickiness. It felt like I was mildly drunk while using it.

It is for a lot of companies, but not at the scale of Microsoft. Keep in mind companies like Google/MS/Apple/etc kill products that have 10s of millions of revenue because while it's a ton of money, it's a drop in t

I think I'm with you in that a better camera is really what incentivised me to switch. Modern phone cameras are simply stunning - the video on the X series and the photos on the Pixel devices are incredible for their form factors. To m

This supports being monospaced by the looks of it - scroll down to the tabular data feature. The font really has a wide variety of options.

It's one of the questions we're asking ourselves internally at atlassian. The only upside to the law is it was written without any idea of how modern software development works - any backdoor or explicit code injection should be c

Oh hey, pwnies from reddit here! It wasn't just me, it was myself and a bunch of my coworkers over at Atlassian. As one of the larger Australian tech companies, many of us are somber today to see this passed. For context, here was the

I'm really impressed with the level of quality of some of the educational videos on youtube. The author here clearly spent hours preparing each of these diagrams and animations, and he's not unique among the popular youtube educat

On the job training is very much a thing, but I think the vast majority of companies out there prefer to start doing that while a potential hire is still in college. It's less risky and usually the potentials are more moldable. Interns

The search speed is vastly worse than what it was on windows 8. A part of me wonders if that's due to the conversion from native languages to html+css+js for the start menu, but even so it's significantly laggy for that. Another t

I'm glad this got pushed through - environmentalists in Hawaii can be an interesting bunch, and often choose to blockade things that are high profile simply to get their message out, even if the ecological impact is highly minimal. A g

The name isn't trying to appeal to advertisers, it's just a name that's been inherited via mergers. The "advertiser" part of it came from the "Pacific Commercial Advertiser" which was a daily Hawaii based

Could we not just use immunosuppressants to give the crispr editing enough time to spread? Once the genes are edited, purging the CRISPR delivery mechanisms from the system should be fine, correct?

> HD front facing camera It amazes me that notebook makers still advertise a 720p camera as being a feature. Are we never going to get anything more than 720p for webcams? Am I the only one who wants 4k video conferencing?

"It must not have security problems to begin with" No product is bulletproof from a security standpoint, and there's no way to make something bulletproof. What are you suggesting they do?

Really depends on what you're doing. If you're doing a lot of builds or running virtual machines, AMD is the clear winner here. No contest. If you're only doing primarily single threaded things (i.e. gaming) then the intel ch

That's not the case at all. I'm not trying to explain away a Nobel Prize - her winning the prize was what made her notable enough for a wikipedia entry. Earlier when her wikipedia article was removed, there was no mention of the N

For what it's worth, Arthur Ashkin began working in optics in the 1960s and is considered the father of the field of optical tweezers[1]. Considering he's the creator of an entire branch of optical sciences, I feel it warrants a w

I really want phone makers to allow me to unlock into separate enclaves on my phone. I.e. If I use 1234 as my unlock pin, it goes to my normal phone. If I use 5678 instead, it unlocks to a separate user account with its own notifications, p

I think the difference is that IE stopped innovating once they had the market cornered. Chrome is continously on the cutting edge of features and specs, even after it became the #1 browser.

I feel like this is more advertising than actual innovation. They claim that the battery packs form part of the structural frame, but based on the images on the site [0] it looks like they're just loose batteries inserted everywhere. T

I've heard "jank" used almost always when referring to visual stutter caused by mass-style changes, both in my current role at Atlassian as well as Microsoft. I think it's pretty standard.
