Apple Photos would be great if they had more powerful family sharing. My dream is to have the family photo collection on all devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook) that we can both curate. Adobe Creative Cloud seems to support 1 collection with 2

That chart about marital satisfaction is pretty depressing. I too, am unwilling to concede that the next 15-20 years of my life will be shite. Surely there must be a way to get around this. Good work life balance with kids is all about time

So a database gets hacked, they add MFA and people are arguing about peppering passwords. What about the part on how the hackers got access to the database in the first place? Passwords are not the only sensitive info that can be stored in

I love this. Java may be verbose at times but it's still very easy to understand, fast and stable.

I had something similar happen to me after I put my brand new MBP in my bag on a really cold day. Went away after I cleaned it with a microfiber. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

What people fail to remember is that in humid climates like Canada where there is a lot of rain and snow, it is important to heat well to get rid of humidity which both increases comfort (humidity makes cold temperatures seem colder than th

A "minivan-like" vehicule? I sure hope this is just a red herring Apple threw at the media to have them trip on their shoelaces.

Not sure this business case is as obvious as the Nest Thermostat or Smoke Detector. I found my Time Capsule pretty easy to setup. Router is located in the basement and range is good all around my two story 1500 sq ft house. Performance is p

Cops would spend less time issuing useless tickets and concentrate on the real speeders. A driver looking out for cops is a distracted driver. You shouldn't be worried if you are following traffic and going at a reasonable speed. That&

Database portability is a poor argument for using ORM in my opinion. In the real world, most apps don't change database engines during their lifetime. You wait for the rewrite and then you pick a new engine. If you stick to ANSI compli

I see very little benefit for Apple. IBM makes complex expensive software that people are still trying to get rid of in the enterprise. Apple doesn't need a sales force for iPads, most top execs have been demanding iPads for the last 2

Never understood the hate towards Java on HN. Java is not perfect by any means but every one of the other languages he mentions in that article (Perl, Python, Ruby, JavaScript) also has their shortcomings. People focus way too much on techn

Amen. Sad but true. Very few people are "cured". Most get life extensions ranging from 6 months to 5 years. It's better to concentrate on letting one live their last days on their own terms. Meds and hospitals are pretty good
