Sugarcane is naturally occurring. As are the beets used for producing beet sugars.

Presumably he built it with AWS in mind, using their proprietary services and APIs. I'm certain if it was easy to have transitioned away from AWS, he would've already done so.

I feel like SoundCloud (and similar indie music services) could really benefit from a microtransaction-based model. I don't want to pay SoundCloud $10/month for what they offer, because a competitor is fulfilling an aspect of that

I wonder though: how would you feel if a digital medium forced the a similar ritual? In other words, if the task you had to perform to get music playing was as involved as putting on a record, would you gain the same sense of satisfaction f

Certainly true. Even some of the earliest CD masters are still very good, relatively. By most standards it took a fairly short amount of time for CD audio to reach a high standard for quality (loudness wars aside).

You'll actually have a very difficult time finding a modern lossy encoder at sane settings that will produce anything worse than what's achievable with a vinyl record. Because modern oversampling D/A converters are also very

I'm a huge fan of CDs for this reason. I know I'm getting perfect, uncompressed digital audio. Ah, but you don't know! On Beck's Odelay Deluxe Edition release, for example, there are at least two tracks that came from

I think there's an argument for doing those things yourself if it's genuinely cheaper or of higher-quality, but you can't realistically make that argument with vinyl. I think with vinyl people are looking for more of a sense

For which you'll ordinarily use the pre-installed browser to grab the installer. It's not clear to me why using IE11 to do that versus using Edge is an actual win.

It's not always lack of experience: there's a mantra among some DJs that if you "aren't redlining you aren't headlining". I'm not a proponent of it, but I've heard the expression used more than a few

That's a pretty bold and ultimately misguided assumption.

If I understand you right, your contention seems to be more with animation and 'fluff' rather than with MV* frameworks like Angular specifically. To which I'll simply say: in some cases animation is as important to the user e

What would you guess is the ratio of each?

Interesting take. I think everyone can find something in this with which to agree, so I don't think it's a particularly polarizing way of thinking, but I haven't seen terminology like this used to describe it before. I fall

It may just me be, but from the title I was expecting Retool to be something for Excel, not like Excel. Perhaps a better title would be "Show HN: Retool: spreadsheets with higher-order primitives"?

I believe the only possible way to take that is anecdotally.

I think that explanation might actually be shooting yourself in the foot slightly , depending on the interviewer, because an index needn't necessarily be a B-tree.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Sticky elements are a somewhat new mechanic on the web, and if used inappropriately I agree they can cause confusion, but I don't see that in this particular instance. Certainly

This is why many tend to consider only uncompressed/lossless formats viable for archival usage. Doubling down on those doesn't really address what you were talking about — something that you make today being viewable in browsers o

I don't believe that's the case. Sticky elements aren't uncommonly used in iOS at least. If there's guidance about interface elements not behaving the way you're describing, I didn't see it in glancing through

I've been using Kryptonite a little bit and generally I'd say it's been a pretty pleasant experience. While I personally haven't spent much time weighing the pros and cons from a security perspective (and I'm not a

Historically speaking, an Apple executive acknowledging that a product or concept they haven't yet embraced as "having a place" is actually very nearly an endorsement of it.

I haven't had that problem. Regularly cleaning the keys with isopropyl alchohol seems to work just fine.

I'd argue that Facebook defines content that's "public" in a way that some — perhaps many — would not, so it's a potential point of confusion. I don't consider it evil , but it certainly results in a sort of F

Another way to say that is "I'm glad I'm not in high school anymore" ;) I'd say what you're describing isn't symptomatic of Facebook, but of the relationships themselves. For the most part my Facebook feed

The About page lists a fairly large number of engineers, some of whom who no doubt have responsibilities involving security. But Essential is not Android, and nor are they Google, so they have a much smaller subset of security concerns to d
