Piggy backing on your comment. The problems with FOSS are personalities and alignment. OS X happened because Jobs made it happen. I was hoping Ubuntu and Shuttleworth would achieve something similar, but working the established community

Value is always found in the honest exchange of ideas, and I found the link to SWEBOKv3. I'm happy for your post bringing it to my attention!

What am I missing? It looks like it is priced much higher than the MBP, and aside from a more appropriately priced TB SSD and ports (yes, Apple f'd this up short term), I'm not seeing what makes it better.

You'd think they'd learn from Java! Edit: Not a shallow dig, but I had lots of fun using a 3rd party library that had locked down a lot of methods which prevented some sales driven features...

I would call your description a stereotype, excluding the flying car and robot, but I'm sure there are also white, hip hop dudes that fit there as well.

I believe AWS uses/used CSS to animate their admin ui arrow spinners. They use enough CPU to turn the fans on my laptop which rarely turn on under normal circumstances.

My first instinct was to agree with you. Sadly, I know quite a few Americans who could care less about their homogeneous neighbors, let alone those of different colors/creeds/cultures.

Firing the person making the comments isn't the same as firing someone who supports a party and the candidate regardless.

As bad as Donald is, he just isn't bad enough to take this severe of an action against a supporter . It would be anti-American at its worst.

FWIW, I recently analyzed most of the options out there. I'm in the process of finishing my switch from Dropbox, mainly due to their lack of transparency. Here's the summary before my writeup is published: - my needs aren't

For those who check comments first... I use this daily on macOS and it is a fantastic user experience. The Markdown editor doesn't have a separate preview window. It auto detects your blocks and toggles between editing and rendering. O

My wife had a Palm Pre with WebOS when I had an iPhone 3G. The Pre was pure crap, but the OS was very interesting and intuitive. I rarely had to help her with it. She's had iPhones since then, which can frustrate her due to how it h

They don't report any change logs, features, bug fixes, or anything else regardless of whether it is a beta or stable release. When shit goes sideways, you have no idea what is broken. Logging also seems mostly non-existent, at least

Meanwhile, the “dark sky” movement criticizes LEDs as a major contributor to what it calls the “light pollution” that humans cast into the night sky. As a former, quasi-astronomer, nothing at night is more impressive than a star lit sky.

I love posts like these. It's always interesting to see the solutions companies utilize. It would be interesting to see the breakdown of applications to servers, because, for what seems like a simple store front, 325 servers is massiv

I was spectating w/ Chrome and it figuratively melted my late 2015 MBP (sans discrete graphics card). I hate to think what this would do to a mobile device's battery.

Oddly, I don't see anything about managing user permissions, access, and authorization. It's wicked arcane compared with every other DB out there. I believe one main reason MySQL caught on early with hosting providers was because

I'd love to hear what you find. My research has shown that Dropbox is mostly the only sync service supported in mobile apps. iCloud is next. After that it's very rare to see any other integration. I'd love to see Box or som

I use Bing whenever I'm dissatisfied with Google's results. Bing has always returned worse results in this case. YMMV.
