I definitely think both sides of the situation have a good point. I'd just like to take the opportunity to point out that I've been less inclined to use Digital Ocean because their invoicing system is rather spammy and has a hair

I am not "confused" by this attitude. Can we cut a victim some slack? I think asking her to take on that "subtle institutionalized sexism" is part of the reason she expressed qualms about publishing this in the first p

I don't really trade much, but I thought this was an interesting data point: my one share of GOOG has made ~2x more profit in ~6 months relative to the amount of profit obtained by the 10 shares of YHOO I bought one year ago.

As someone who recently plunked down for his first (and apparently last!) legitimate/non-cloud Photosohp license, I totally feel your pain! I think there's a really important point about why Adobe's pissing of it's core cutomer base that pe

To this end, did anyone suggest Heroku was a dying platform when they announced Python support? I sure didn't hear anything like that.

Really enjoyed the intro to your post. The comparison to Hungarian was a good hook.

Wait, if I'm interpreting the Shannon-Nyquist theorem properly here, doesn't that mean since the signal is 24 Hz that we'd want a 48 FPS frame rate to accurately get the signal?

Hi kevin, First of all, thanks for replying! I think without more view of the forest, as it were, I'm finding difficult as a reader to understand the type of analysis you're hoping to get out of your interviewees. Would you agree that one i

IANAL, but isn't it a felony to DDoS a property you don't own? This guy is effectively claiming he'll perform federal offenses for $5/hour by DDoSing a competitor's website, right?

Looking at this page on a retina screen is like watching the pixel heat death of the universe. Everything is so tiny and zoomed out! I wonder if this trend will continue now that pixel densities have approached human perceptibility limits

It certainly would have been a more flexible experience! I have a friend who frequents a coffeeshop I hang out at who I have been teaching Python and misc. hacking to. I ended up giving him the chromebook, and he's set it up with ubuntu (

I tried using a chromebook and an ipad as my sole dev setup for a week or so over the holidays. I actually found it was more freeing than a traditional setup in certain ways! Once I got a linode server set up I stopped worrying about not h

It occurs to me that as members and professionals within the technical community, hackers have just as much of a responsibility to use plain English when communicating with stakeholders and laypeople as members of the law community. Often,

What role does a creative director have on a big consumer product like this? Would her role be more about branding and messaging, or does this suggest that Keys is actually getting her hands dirty with product design, and possibly signal a

I almost didn't click through because of the verbose and unhelpful landing page. When I hit "get started" I was amazed at the quality of the app! This is a great view on SO, I will definitely have it in mind.

Say for the purposes of argument that this thesis were true. What is there (if anything) to be done about it? I ask as a naive interested party with a CS background.

Thank you so much for this info! So, if I understand you correctly, the airspace above the freeway is still restricted even though the Highway is public land? Is this accurate? I agree that it's entirely feasible that this was a military

FWIW, I saw a drone hovering above the 5 freeway back in September right after the border patrol crossing. I think it was in the strip between Camp Pendleton and Oceanside. It looked about the size of a microwave or a toaster oven, had at

I really like how the author enumerated all his "mistakes" along the way. I was reminded of my mistakes the night I couldn't sleep and embarked on a full-day bicycle journey up to San Clemente at 3am (mistake #1). Woefully unprepared (#2)
