Source? My understanding is that particularly in the US, we can keep unhealthy people going for a very long time, for a lot of $$$.

Fascinating. Maybe I'm misinterpreting your units, but I have no related health condition (other than living in Canada), and I take 3x1000 every day (in months with an R in them). Maybe you're somewhere particularly sunny?

I had a brief panic at just reading ALSA. I haven't used the linux desktop in years, but audio was always such a pain. I hope things have improved.

You suggested that they were only coping to the improper use now, rather than being upfront about it at the time. That's misleading.

by passive 10y ago
This is misleading. They admitted at the time they knew it was being used improperly, they were just attached to the usage. They are now following up to say they have detached themselves from this usage. This seems like very responsible beh

In my rush to get this out, I forgot to mention we can only hire people who can legally work in the US.

You have a brand-new Macbook Pro but a router that can't deliver 10Mbps for more than an hour at a time?

Sounds like a profitable model (introducing new devs to best practices).

This seems stupidly obvious (even as a very altruistic person in their mid-30s who has only had a single partner). Good sex, in general, is about generosity. So those who are more generous are likely to be better at it, and those do more of

Seriously, prison sentences for illegally entering the country is grade-A nuts. There's other stuff on there that at least sounds good, but this sounds like "we'll solve a $$ problem with $$$".

Well, my only problems were ones where I got a quick replacement. Day-to-day it simply worked well.

Well, the RMAs were for major issues, and MS had a new device in my hand within 48 hours. But day to day, the Surface has simply done everything I want my computer to do, requiring little to no effort on my part to keep it performing excell

I've had to RMA it twice, but otherwise my surface pro 3 has been the most reliable computer I've ever used. My only machine for work and play for the last 2 years, and right now it looks like a Surface will replace it.

Came here to post just this. Really ridiculous, and sometimes the text even matches the distorted scale, saying things like "blew past the others" for a 1% win.

I'm kind of shocked all y'all commentators have such well secured CI systems. ;) I've been developing software for 17 years, and at every employer, from 2 to 20,000 employees, CI systems were treated as an afterthought in ter

Hmm, Windows update + restart seems to have fixed the font rendering in general, but this page still looks the same.

I see the same thing in Chrome 51.0.2704.84 m, Windows 10. I noticed my font rendering in Chrome started to be terrible a couple of days ago, so might be on me.

No, I made sure not to click anything, though I did check the raw message to confirm the links were genuine (or at the right domain). I've got 2FA enabled, and I checked my gmail access history and there are no unusual locations or dev

As a remote employee who has successfully pushed Flowdock into the culture of my last three employers, I've got things to say here. :) I think the core thing is to treat group chat like physical office chat. So: - Don't use it

I think this is a very key point. OpenSSH gets targeted for vulnerability analysis by very talented people, on a regular basis. I would be surprised if there are more than a dozen organizations on the planet that can deploy those kind of re

The most interesting thing about this for me is that the third partner is Xiaomi. They are a company that I expect any day now to eat a large portion of the consumer electronics market. Items like the Mi Band and Pistons compete well with t

The terminal in windows 10 is much improved. Specifically copy and paste being less insane, and proper multi-line selection. I'm sure it is still deficient in many ways, but those were always the biggest irritations. No built-in python

I'll be the odd one out and say that I will miss the kickstand on the Surface Book. For me, the kickstand is what has made the SP3 into the best computing device I've ever used. While a proper laptop will cover many of the same ca
