It sounds like the author is describing the Happy Hacking keyboard: http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?pid=pdkb400b Control where the caps lock key is, escape moved down, and elimination of all unnecessary (and some deb

Telling investors that the startup makes no revenue is a joke to them Maybe this is just poor word choice on the part of the author, but a startup with no revenue is a joke unless you haven't launched yet. If you have, you

The cost breakdown: * GitHub Enterprise: $5000 per 20 users per year, effectively $416.67 per 20 users per month. (You have to pay yearly though) * GitLab Enterprise: $39.80 per 20 users per month, or $398 per 20 users

I wasn't even aware CoreOS is a Y Combinator company, I wonder what the monetization strategy is.

There are certain advantages to custom hardware. For example, the OS could be flashed onto a tamper-resistant ROM to prevent it from being surreptitiously altered. The device could include a smart card slot used on boot to decrypt the stora

Interesting idea. Instead of a VM though, what about a small, low-power box that you plug into your home network that handles secure communication transparently to the user? I'm thinking something like AdTrap ( http://www.kic

This seems to be a habit with Microsoft - Spot, MSN Music, PlaysForSure, etc, all no longer work because Microsoft insisted on being the only service provider, then later on decided that they couldn't be bothered to continue providing

This seems like a great opportunity for someone to develop an open source high-availability, fault-tolerant 911 dispatch system. Being able to get first responders where they're needed as fast as possible would provide a tremendous pub

I'm not a fan of languages designed "for children". They tend to be toy languages with limited expressibility, and libraries tend to be limited or nonexistent, severely limiting what the user can actually do with the language

What? It's not returning 0 from isPrime once it hits a divisor? I think I wrote better prime-finding code in middle school.

Well, in an ideal world it would be both perfectly manageable and not dangerous, but I think we're both saying the same thing. Cars and bicycles are very different and bad things tend to happen when they share the same roadway.

And yet Seth Vidal is dead, and the driver remains alive. In an ideal world bicycles are given equal respect and stature on the roads. In practice, however, riders have a lot more to lose in a collision with a car.

I'm a Reeder user myself, though 99% of my reading is done on the Mac version. So far, ReadKit ($4.99, MAS) is the closest thing I've found to a replacement. I'd still prefer Reeder, but I can comfortably live with ReadKit if

The USA is so vast and so diverse that it's very hard to make general statements that apply to all of it. While the author of this post claims to have seen quite a bit of America, a lot of what he says doesn't mesh with my experie

This is the best solution, because you never know how large the text will be when rendered by the user's software. For example, this is how it rendered on my iPad: http://cl.ly/Pp7I It looks terrible, and I didn't

If the guy can have tens (or maybe even hundreds) of thousands of dollars worth of servers, networking equipment, etc, I'd say he can pay for a business class line. Heck, I just switching my personal FiOS from residential to business and al

Whenever looking for hotels in an area I check the TripAdvisor reviews. I usually end up trying to call the hotel and booking directly, but recently TripAdvisor has been slowly rolling out pricing info directly on the hotel page from Expedi

There seems to be some confusion here in the comments. Atlassian did not make tig, Jonas Fonseca ( https://github.com/jonas ) did. In some sense though, it makes Atlassian even more awesome that they wrote a blog post about a piece of softw

You're forgetting LTE. I'd say that just the larger screen and inclusion of LTE constitute a major update.

I don't have immediate need for the new capacity, so I'm actually going to wait a few weeks on upgrading. With any luck the early adopters (and probable heavy users) will have all upgraded and I won't have to share a machine with too many.

If Thunderbolt is cost prohibitive, I suggest moving to USB3. It's cheaper and much more widely deployed, and it's much much faster than FW800 and USB2. In fact, for most external drives, it's just as fast as Thunderbolt as the limiting fac

And why not jump directly to 8? Every OS that runs IE6 can also run IE8, it should just be one Windows Update away.
