How does it make a lot of sense? If Apple had a tool that was better than Xcode, why would they hide it from the public? They have proven themselves to be quite motivated to provide developers with good tools and frankly I find the idea tha

Use quotes and search for rsync "--ignore-existing" or "rsync --ignore-existing". They are two different searches but both work fine and return useful results. You can also remove the double dash and search for rsync ign

If you can't afford mobility, privacy or comfort then you will have to go without or change your situation. It's a sensible and realistic suggestion and hardly dispassionate. And while I can't speak for the above poster, many

It seems unlikely that any sensible system would use fingerprint data for security, given how easy it is to spoof. You leave your fingerprints everywhere and can't protect them once you've left the area. Authenticator + smart phon

Sure, but the Model S isn't radiating most of that power into the air around you :) It's pretty amazing to think that there are electromagnetic fields with hundreds of kilowatts of power shooting out around those antennas. You wou

The point is that the ability to land is much harder to develop than the ability to stand up after landing. Improving the leg locking mechanisms is relatively trivial compared to developing the ability to turn a booster around in space, fly

Well, sure, but you could have said the same thing about modern airliners when Louis Blériot flew across the channel for the first time in 1909. Electric aircraft are a technology that does exist, already. Two different aircraft have been b

Doesn't the noise make it more likely to cause a grudge between neighbors? If it was quiet enough to go undetected then the neighbor would never know or care about the UAVs presence. I have been buzzed by a curious neighbor before and

There's no way Xcode is the worst you've ever used unless your opinion is just based on personal preference (which is fair enough but not really relevant to the rest of us) I don't think I'd say it's better than VS

Apple isn't forcing you to pay if you want to run your apps, they're warning users and forcing them to take an extra step to run unsigned code. That doesn't completely prevent malicious code execution but it definitely helps

You only need a few sympathetic hardware engineers to put in hardware back doors, however, and it's practically impossible to verify that the hardware you have is trustworthy by the time it's in your hands. A million engineers all

No, you can generate 'regulated' DC from another DC source (see for example buck converters or more generally any DC-DC converter). Regulated really just means clean DC which stays at the same voltage and doesn't contain a lo

There are a few reasons for not using DC until the last metre or so. First of all, you want to avoid having multiple wiring systems in one building. Wiring a building for 110V alone is expensive enough (both initially and later during maint
