I wouldn't call it "tortured logic", all his points are valid. Of course, there are ways you can listen to headphones 8 hours a day without getting hearing loss, and there is music you can listen to that isn't distra

I completely agree, especially about the feeling of vulnerability. It's apparently something that not everyone experiences, but there's no way I'm going to wear something that removes my ability to hear someone walking up beh

And there's a new lower-end retina iMac starting at $1999. That's an impressively low price point for something with that display.

There are lots of underutilized IPv4 addresses out there. I'm sure there are lots of companies and institutions squatting on /8s that would sell some of their block for the right price.

Michael O. Church says that open offices induce or exacerbate his panic attacks: https://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2015/03/02/open-plan-of... I'd say that that makes him a victim of the open office la

Yes, it was a bug. We did have code in place at the top level to catch unforeseen exceptions, but it didn't occur to us that we needed to do so inside the promise as well. We fixed the issue, but finding it was a lot harder than it nee

Agreed. An exception being silently caught and ignored by es6-promise was the culprit of a bug hunt that took a lot longer than it could have if the exception had automatically percolated to the console. I know now about the infinite try-ca

I don't dislike goals, but I dislike rigidly holding yourself to goals when your circumstances and desires change. I'm really glad that it worked out well for the author, but not everyone is so lucky. I'm not where I thought

Actually, I'd say it is, at least relative to the low barrier of powering up a droplet and apt-getting a few packages.

This is really interesting. In the summer of last year, I was looking into various JS libraries to use for an upcoming project at work when I saw the story that Atom was moving to React for their UI, so I decided to take a look. The philoso

By contrast, I did not live in the dorms when I went to college and I feel like I missed out on a lot. There's no one from my college years that I keep in touch with.

I wish there was a sort of "Patreon for open source" nonprofit service where I can support projects like GnuPG, OpenBSD, etc all in one place.

Does the revocation part apply to the entire license (code + patents) or just the patent clause? If you don't care about FB's patents, can you just treat React as being BSD licensed?

I would have said the same thing about Apple, then they released an update that make the iPhone 6 unable to make calls. Mistakes happen, and your car could be bricked by one.

There is a price difference - I preordered at $159 and the regular Lockitron preorder price was $179. The announced pricing for the Lockitron Bolt is $99. No idea how they'll handle the refunds though.

I placed a preorder for a Lockitron on Jan 12, 2013, with the general expectation that it would ship in the spring/summer of that year. It did not. I'm still waiting for it.

They're apparently switching pre-orders for the crowdfunded Lockitron to Lockitron Bolt ( http://help.lockitron.com/article/95-whats-bolt-and-how-will... ). This is disappointing because Lockitron Bolt is a differen

I don't know, maybe it took quite a bit of time and thinking to realize that the problem was simpler than it seemed. Maybe Charles was playing games to occupy his eyes and hands while he was thinking about the problem.

People here are complaining about a 4.7" screen phone and you counter with... a 4.6" screen phone. I think you've demonstrated baddox's point.

I completely agree. I used my iPhone 6 for a month or so before I gave up and switched back to my iPhone 5s. There are things I miss about the 6, but I like the size of the 5s way more. I really hope Apple makes a top-end 4" iPhone aga
