Can anyone explain what this actually is? I get that it's apparently an exciting new project, but what actually is it? A framework? A programming library? A data specification? I honestly can't tell. They refer to "app

I wish I had video of the faces I was undoubtedly pulling, during the few seconds I spent puzzling out the pronunciation and meaning of the word "Schemaless". /Shema-leez/ ? /Szhee-males/ ? Naming products is

For what it's worth, instead of tabs, I used to use file marks. That gives you up to 24 "tabs" that you can switch to using just two keypresses. `mA` to set the current buffer as tab 'A', and `'A` to go to A.

I used to listen to podcasts while running or walking, but eventually found that they were replacing the 'quiet time' that my brain would otherwise be using to mull over work or home challenges I was facing. As a programmer, I&#x2

...I am mildly amused that in its logo, the Spectre is brandishing a stick. (And I am mildly chagrined at how long it took me to figure out why)

Apple has criteria for whether or not they'll replace your phone's battery at all. I assume that eligibility for the lower battery replacement price will be identical to the eligibility test they're already doing for the bat

Also the same number as "Hey, Siri". And Samsung's "Hey, Bixby". I'm assuming it's not a coincidence. I think it's likely that three syllables just happens to be a nice cut-off point that minimizes

You don't have to spend the hour at the Apple Store. You drop the phone off, leave, and come back at literally any time more than 1 hour later. Go to your important meeting. Do some shopping. Have that doctor's appointment you&

I do exactly this; my build system does its builds for most platforms inside docker containers. (I haven't figured out how to do OSX builds inside a docker container yet, but I'll figure it out eventually!) One of my targets is

Though the headline does not say so, I presume that this 'toll' is only contributed to by the prolonged sitting; the "binge TV-viewing" presumably is only harmful to "ability to walk" inasmuch as it is correla

Were the resources used up, though? In your hypothetical, there's an (arguably) beautiful pen in the world, now, which wasn't there before. Surely that must have some value? Otherwise, all forms of human endeavor are kind of po

This is basically removalists, yes? The last time I moved house, I paid a removalist to get rid of a bunch of my stuff. Paid them by volume of removed material; they did all the work to take the stuff away. (I basically said "take ev

A programmer who thinks that they are good at programming is almost certainly mistaken. A programmer who thinks that they are bad at programming is almost certainly correct. On a team, one of these people is more dangerous than the other.

History (and personal experience) shows pretty clearly that humans are really bad at predicting the movements of kangaroos, though. (I've never been in a car that hit one, but have had some close calls) The things seem to be able to e

Personally, I joined Facebook only because the co-working office space that I rent space in coordinate most events and notices through a private Facebook group. To know (for example) when government representatives or media are going to be

I can't explain this, but on the day I'm going to fly somewhere, I'm scared about it from the moment I wake up. Maybe 'extreme anxiety' would be a better word, since I'm not actually afraid that I'll die

That isn't really how it works. The catastrophic problem with GC for games isn't the specific amount of time it takes up, it's that it's a periodic task; it perhaps happens once every few seconds, or even less. Which m

I would argue that it's more skill, but not engineering skill. It is more a social skill; being able to read the work environment the software will exist inside, and predict the likely ebb and flow of development requirements. To hav

It's been a long time since I was in that position; almost none of the plays are new to me at this stage. (I'll confess, though, that I've neither seen nor read Coriolanus, Cymbaline, or Timon of Athens. Or, for that matte

As someone new to Shakespeare, you should definitely start out by watching performances, rather than reading scripts. Until you've absorbed the rhythm and the literary style, it can be very difficult to follow their plots just from a

And I just want to add.. I really like Concourse. I'd love to use it instead of Jenkins. But at the moment, I haven't been able to get it to work, apart from in a vagrant box running an old version of the software, which I can&#

Sadly, while it's easy to play with the software this way, the 'vagrant up' implementation is missing a bunch of functionality; you don't get any authentication functionality, and you don't get the ability to attac

If it's basically the output of magic levers and knobs and processes which are not allowed to be inspected or questioned or understood by the jury, then one could make a pretty persuasive argument that it can't really be considere

Well-known caveat for people who are familiar with encryption, but it's worth calling out explicitly here: If you use the same one time pad to encode two or more different messages, then all the sorts of attack proposed here become pla

I wonder whether there is anything specific to Math in this, or whether we're looking at a broader trend, which might perhaps be phrased as "Parents' academic anxiety is contagious to their kids"? Or maybe even "Pa
