Doesn't anonymous sourcing of data like this likely introduce some significant biases?

I got this color laser printer [1] at $179.99 in 2013 and it's still going strong. I got it specifically as a long term investment because I don't print very often and was tired of having dried-out ink every few months when I did

Yeah. I reserved the Model 3 a while ago, but I've been leaning more and more toward just canceling it and getting a Model S. Even though I can afford it, it's just a lot of money for someone like me who isn't really a "

That's interesting. I'd bet Flex desks could work well like that.

Ouch. The openness is appreciated, though. Beyond randomly checking a time in the past and trying to download a file, is there a way I can tell which / how many files are now missing?

It's just tricky because of the restrictions, and it's not just the restrictions themselves but the reality that you're limited to them in the future. Even if your app can run in a sandbox today, are you willing to turn down

Yes--sorry. My comment was in support of your point.

The document covers how they put a good amount of effort into ensuring there's not a clear link back to the CIA or relevant parties if one of these things is discovered. I imagine having hardware level vulnerabilities would much more q

I've never used OneDrive or Amazon Cloud Drive, so I've not seen that. Arq does have a button for validating data manually and a separate option for each backup destination that specifies how often (in days) backups should be vali

I'm pretty happy with Arq [0]. It lets you choose from a few different backends [1]. I personally started with Glacier because this is only in addition to my on-site backup, so the 4 hour delay would only be relevant in the case of a h

I think there's special integration for home automation. I have the same switches. Remember when you first set them up and you had to go to a special "Smart Home" section of the Alexa app? There's a special section there

To some extent, I think it's reasonable. PHP had the same issue (old libraries assuming single byte strings) and the way they handled it is pretty awful. Essentially all string manipulation functions also have an equivalent function wi

I think the main change (accurate handling of strings potentially encoded with multiple bytes) hit a lot of languages from that time in bad ways. I think it's something that more or less had to be done since the alternatives are worse,

Came here to say this. I've default to Python 3 for all new projects (our new stuff is primarily on Ubuntu 16.04 anyway), but we use AWS Lambda a lot and it's still stuck at 2.7 for now.

At a high level, isn't this like implementing your own "malloc" and "free" that just pulls from your process's own memory pool instead of the OS? Or is there more to it than that?

Even making your product appeal to a wide market often isn't recommended for small companies. We often see posts here about focusing on a specific winnable market and going from there. In a vacuum, I'd imagine that having likeness

It's OK, though. At least we finally have a place to discuss the new MacBook Pro.

The company's margins are irrelevant to my purchasing decision. Kudos to them for putting in the R&D to come up with substantial features that commodity laptop manufacturers (and Microsoft) have failed to replicate for years. That

Plenty of people are, but your argument is unclear. Prices for things aren't set based on the amount of innovation since the previous release of that thing.

What they're recouping costs on and whether or not the features have changed is irrelevant. What's relevant is whether it's worth buying a Windows laptop instead (or sticking with an existing Mac). They don't have some m

My response was relating to an open salary company in general, but the process in the article takes it even further by having the employees themselves play a significant role in the decision-making. If I consider myself a high performer, I

Music plays when I open the app for the first time, despite my ringer being off. It certainly looks like a cool idea, although it says my area isn't covered yet.

Yep. Agreed on all points. I sure hope software development doesn't get boring, but this'll be an interesting place if it does.
