DigitalOcean's pricing page indicates that "All cloud hosting plans include automated backups". ( https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing ) From the email you received, it sounds like this is clearly not the case.

The "best for Retina" setting doubles the size of everything on the screen, effectively making the display a really crisp 1440x900. Running at native resolution everything is drawn at the standard size, which provides lots of room

I think that's a picture of two U2414H monitors, which they're touting as having thin bezels, and not two UP3214Q 4K monitors.

I can't really comment on what Objective C development is like on it as I don't do any, but I think that the limiting factor on the 13" is the screen size and not the processing power. Xcode has a lot of panels, and the 13&qu

Google may have better security, but they're also a much, much larger target. Wiretapping Google gives you access to the private data of Google's millions and millions of users, whereas gaining access to my network gets you access

The 13" retina Pro is pretty darn small and light. It's only half a pound heavier and 0.03" thicker than the Air's thickest point.

Unless you're making 100% of your money from CPM ads, you should look into whether that 4% of your users really equates to 4% of your revenue.

I like that they're charging again for it, but only because I prefer TweetBot 2 and want to continue using it. If they released TB 3 as an upgrade to 2 it would be very difficult not to upgrade.

Care to post a link? I'm genuinely interested to find non-Apple laptops that are both as powerful and as portable as Apple's at any price point.

Shouldn't it be a place to drift, to think, to read, to meet new people, and to work at whatever inspires you? This article does bring up a valid point, but it seems that the author is also blinded by his romantic notion

Even that relies on a model of the utilization of the cafeteria over time. If Goldman wanted to incentivize spending a minimal amount of time in the cafeteria, they should just measure that. For example, offer a discount of (25 - X)% where

My office had an ice cream freezer during the summer and it was a huge hit. Someone even set up a Twitter account that people could follow to know when it was restocked.

This is exactly why companies provide it. Like programminggeek said, it's a signal that they're trying to look cool. They would probably prefer if you didn't actually use it (impaired mental function, cost of operation, etc

We are updating the Google Terms of Service. The new Terms will go live on November 11, 2013 and you can read them here. Because many of you are allergic to legalese, here’s a plain English summary for your convenience.

$10/month for 10GB seems really expensive. For example, $5/month for a Digital Ocean VPS includes 1TB transfer. Now, maybe Forge is much faster or more robust, but is it really worth 200x as much per GB?

I agree, especially when the touchscreen replaces physical controls. I really like that in my current car I can adjust fan speed, temperature, stereo volume, etc all without needing to take my eyes off the road, but if I bought a new car wi

Is audio even included in DVI? They're probably including it in some non-standard way that differs from other, non-standard ways that other video card manufacturers use to adapt DVI to HDMI with audio.

I never got why .museum was created, it's way too long and obscure to be effective for domain names. Even shortening it to .mus or something would be a big improvement, but it seems like a lot of museums are using the more commonly kno

Mentally, I think of most Unix utilities as operating on STDIN and producing STDOUT. Therefore, to get the lines from a file into STDIN, I usually cat it. It's pretty common for me to write something like: cat file | grep xyz

Yes, certificate pinning would alert the user to a MITM attack, but it's not commonly used. By "hard to detect", I meant that it's impossible to see simply by examining the certificate if it's genuine, you can only

SSL relies on a chain of trust, and it's prudent to assume that the NSA has the private keys necessary to produce valid certificates that will be accepted by the certificates that ship with Windows, OS X, Firefox, etc out of the box. S
