I'm facing the same dilemma with a hardware project of mine ( http://tooner-test.moshozen.com ). In the past month alone, I've been stuck on several things (public name, dealing with constant ID creep, finding a mill tha

That's 40gbps of voluntary (technically settlement free, but not in the usual meaning of the term) peering, not paid transit. Paid transit numbers are several orders of magnitude higher, and total traffic numbers are unknown.

This is a big deal, actually. It's a EULA for cars.

I just do it in Sketch. For me, any evolutionary insights are secondary to shipping, so I'd rather stay on the golden path of tooling than adapt the flow just to see changes. However, it's generally pretty easy to simply zoom out

I started doing something similar with the small amount of UI work I do, modeled after [1] (a great watch, BTW). For example, my flow for app icons is like so: 1. Spend some tiny amount of time building the simplest thing that represents yo

I did a bit of a dive on it a while back - it works via peertalk ( https://github.com/rsms/peertalk ), which in turn works by connecting to local sockets provided by `usbmuxd`.

I always wondered about where that promise went. Do you have a source for your statement?

As with anything they ever covered, The Secret Life of Machines has a superb episode on the vacuum cleaner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS_WcIAPSzU Truly one of the best television shows of all time.

Those photos are nothing compared to some of the firsthand videos: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fort+mcmurray++... It's honestly like something straight out of an apocalypse movie. Horrifying.

A few years ago I dove into the idea of trying to make a C only iOS app (well actually, it was a quick exploration of how hard it would be to build your own UI kit without using UIKit). The dive bottomed out pretty quickly, as I couldn&#x27

The snow really isn't a factor at all anymore. If you live right (near the subway & in a neighbourhood where you can get everything you may need in a pinch locally) you don't even notice it. I can probably count on one hand th

It's telling that Toronto isn't on that list. It's taken me a decade of living here to really understand what makes this place tick, and one thing that's become clear is that a near universal friendliness to newcomers in

A close friend of mine was on a previous Hi-SEAS, and I can say that this was also one of the first questions we asked of them upon their return to Earth. According to my friend (who I'm not identifying out of respect for their privacy

Essentially, our daughter is much more likely to partake in an activity (be it eating her veggies or anything else) if she feels like it was her idea to do so. I'm not entirely sure if it's the choice aspect, or the preparation as

This is also great parenting advice. Give your kid the feeling of having chosen to eat their vegetables, and they'll devour an entire plate of them.

Also a parent of a 4yo, agreed 100%. I notice a difference even if I don't get woken up at night (which thankfully is a rarity). I think it's mostly a matter of how I get woken up in the morning (she's basically our alarm clo

I remember a number of years ago I was setting up a shared access shell machine, and came across the idea of piping pine directly into the IMAP server via domain sockets, in an on-demand fashion. It was a revelatory experience for me in the

Exactly this. I'm holding off on Swift for as long as possible for many of the reasons that others have said better than I can (in a nutshell, it's got all of the bad parts of C++, with few of the good parts of ObjC). The approach

There's a pretty massive bump in IPv6 usage on weekends. I'm assuming this is likely due to residential / mobile IPv6 adoption being higher than commercial adoption?
