half a major in Physics that include a few quantum mechanics curses I'm sure you meant "courses" but I like it more the way you wrote it.

Right you are... I was thinking of the "Repeat alerts" message notification setting.

Not I. Discreetly keeping an eye on the time without fumbling with a device is my most common watch need.

IIRC, there's a setting for it on the phone, somewhere in the Messages settings.

Good to hear -- I've been interested in the Activité, but haven't gotten my hands on one to try it out yet. I like my Fitbit for keeping me honest about walking around and whatnot, and my analog watch doesn't do that for me,

Anything that can just be glanced at performs better on the Apple Watch. I'm assuming you're comparing to a phone here. My analog watch is way better at glances than an Apple Watch -- I can just look at it to tell what time it i

Upserts are generally useful tools for applications that run in active-active multi-datacenter configurations. Have you guys explored the implications of this feature for such deployments on top of Postgres yet?

It sounds like they actually reduced the overall power requirements significantly, by only delivering power to a subset of the drives at any one time.

I'm with you. I like the iPhone 5 size more than the 4s form factor, but the 6 is just too big.

I'm assuming that when you say "artificially constructed," you mean that groups of people are sitting down and brainstorming according to some sort of master plan, which presumably looks something like: 1. Invent and populari

That part is easy: you just compare it to local solar noon. Earth's rotation is considerably more accurate than this clock's target. For more info about the number of seconds in a solar day, see this awesome Wikipedia page: http:

Given the sorts of candidates that BigCo HR teams tend to let through the process, I'd be pretty surprised if the HR filtration process would actually pick up some random court case, much less act on it.

If you made that change only, you'd presumably still end up allocating the remaining 45% in a way that skewed heavily towards early hires. On the other hand, this system allocates the unicorn value to much later hires as well.

Interesting. I wonder to what extent this reasoning was behind executive support of the Chrome project, and whether it was a factor from the onset or something that Google stumbled upon after developing a browser.

Are you suggesting that YouTube correlates audio quality to video resolution? If so, do you know what the correlations are?

That strikes me as incredibly odd. I can't imagine any of the managers I've had over the years forbidding me from doing something like that.

Central Valley farms are a big consumer of water in California, but bear in mind that this article is about a desalinization project in the San Diego area. That area of California gets its water largely from the Colorado River and the easte

Interesting. They're capping individual participation for that 5% pool at $2,500. If Bloomberg is right that they're looking to raise around $300M, that 5% pool is $15M. That comes out to 6,000 shareholders in the pool if all the

In practice, NaN as a literal means that the outcome of a mathematical statement is not expressible. So, the letter 'a' is not equal to NaN (with either two or three = signs). NaN, in other words, has a special meaning. Dismayingl

I'm petty sure the number of women in "tech" reflect the number of women graduating with C.S. degrees. If anything, women seem to get an unfair advantage just because they are women and "under represented." The ed

Don't they put the "no seat preference" option in a drop-down containing a list of city names or something crazy like that?

If I were them, I'd say something like: "io.js is an api-compatible alternative to the node.js runtime, including support for the npm ecosystem, that aims to release faster than the node.js release cycle and move according to a co
