In fact, for the same die size, Android hardware has been adapted to work better with the way Android works (many small processes working together). This is maybe not the best approach for certain games or benchmarks, but for normal use thi

Same here, I started using it after the anniversary update came out about a week ago. Before that Cortana was a privacy nightmare

It seems the HN crowd (and zdnet and EFF) are all missing a very important point: with the anniversary update (rolled out last week) Cortana is now much much less intrusive. For example, you don't need to have GPS enabled att all time

You guys just listed the only 3 books I found interesting in the bundle... I like the charity bit however, so I am going to donate the money directly to this bundles charity organization (which happens to be EFF hence -> https:/&#x

I really don't understand all the opposition ti this idea. This is exactly how git should be used, and it is how most successful large open source projects require you to work.

Actually this works perfectly fine in large teams too, if you add another level of branches. In fact, that is how the Linux kernel development works

I don't understand, how is this different for Apple? If anything I would assume the opposite - since practically everyone else can use Firefox (mobile) and all its plugins to avoid this issue.

So HB has zero responsibility for selling stuff that do not work?

This is awesome work! I am extremely pleased to see someone do some QA - since the devs and the humble team obviously aren't doing any. Also, if you think this is bad you should see their Android games. For example the extremely high p

The company I got my last laptop from sells business refurbished Lenovo and Apple laptops. I initially looked into their macbooks. But the Thinkpas were in significantly better shape despite being 1-2 years older. They were also much chea

Let me also add that when you are very passionate about something you may end up working long hours and weekends. You will probably also enjoy it. But the opposite does not apply. When management expects you to work long hour you will

That is just a fantasy, Reza and Marissa live in a fairy tale where working long hours equals passion. It doesn't. I have had co-workers who practically lived in the office. Every time something urgent came up they would volunteer to w

Honest questions: all the hard working Yahoo employees who worked many many hours overtime under her instead of being with family and friends, what did they get out of this in the end? Marissa was paid big $, I understand she needed to work

I don't think Apple needs to "realize" anything. They will try to sell hardware with huge profit margins and unless people stop buying them there is really no reason for Apple to change. This was what the Verge articles was t

I am also wondering how this can compete with something like the Asus FlipBook Chromebook that not only nativly supports Android but also has a 11" touch screen and a unibody aluminium design.

I think what parent is trying to say is that Apple charges $1100 for 4 year old technology, something no other company is able to do. I recently paid $90 for a six year old ThinkPad and it works flawlessly. If we are going to settle for old

But Joel Hruska ignores the fact that Byford's original article was not about technology: "But there’s no excuse for selling four-year-old hardware for $1,099. (Yes, Apple charitably dropped the price by one hundred whole dollars

The main issue here is that a bunch of multi-billion businesses are dependent on a company that has its own agenda. Google doesn't care about Huawei or Samsung or Sony. If dropping Android and joining Windows Phone camp could somehow i

I am not sure if you can get rid of some those commands with any other build tool. There is simply no build tool that includes everything , so sometimes some scripting will be required. Then, why not go with bash that you hopefully already

Given the downvotes I assume this is a very touchy subject to some people here... Anyway, are you saying that accepting a tools established input format is to go with the status quo? I am all for breaking new grounds, but is this one really

Most sane editors automatically switch to tabs when editing makefiles. Anyway, my point was, not everything needs to be customizable to your liking. Sometimes things have a set of simple rules you just have to follow . I for one like that
