Disclaimer: Pure conjecture. I'd say the TOS have to apply to the "service" you're consuming and not the website itself. Otherwise, what happens if you use just a text based browser? Or any other means not foreseen by th

Who is this trying to stop? People that rip their content? Because those ones certainly have other methods to do it (e.g. record video out). If they're targeting consumers, why do they give a damn if the phone is rooted or not? As long

It seems to be a browser based VNC client connecting to a remote VM running linux.

Is compiling to WebAssembly an option to you? Better than relying on memory snapshots.

Actually it is feedback I have from the data guys at work, not HN. And you may be right about that configuration, but I cannot remember the exact details of the discussion. Either way, don't get me wrong. I use MongoDB as well, and am

Could you give us an idea of your workload? From what I've been told MongoDB breaks in really bad and silent ways when under pressure. And I mean "ignore writes without giving out errors" kind of bad.

What I find interesting is that they decided to stick with amazon despite there being a supposedly larger offer from a local group. I wonder if that offer was to try and raise the stakes or they just decided amazon was a better fit for them

Embrace the use of lists and its workflow (think tweetdeck). Side by side lists. I insist on side by side because you don't want one particular list stopping content from other lists to catch your eye. Implement smart/personalized

I think that VR, unless much more advanced (e.g. expand to other senses besides vision and hearing) will have trouble catching on besides gaming and maybe some business applications. And even so, I have my doubts. And I think Google Glass w

I think that AR (think magic leap) is going to be much bigger, at least in the short term. VR is like the desktop. It will have its uses, sure, but you'll be tied to your desk/room. Gaming will probably still be the most popular V

I am based in europe and my experience is basically on international flights. Maybe it doesn't apply in the USA. The flights that didn't have USB outlets were shorter anyway, so the battery would hold.

by phn 10y ago
You kinda have access to USB power on a flight. It should suffice I think.

I think they kind of respect their own franchises, trying hard not to destroy their fame for quality, improving on them only if they have something novel to introduce in the series or a new way to do a particular game, like non-linear dun

I'm especially happy to see the C in CSS go away. Flexbox and the explicit inheritance used in react native makes styling so much nicer.

I guess it's only natural. I don't expect non-technical people to make the same technical choices I do, nor can I recommend them to the general population. I suspect that it's the same with doctors, but their field happens to

They don't even require an e-mail address. A great thing about reddit if you ask me.

One thing is listening and acting based on what you understood, which you should definitely be doing. This requires product planning and thinking, as any you've ever done. Just blindly doing what your customers tell you is not what y

I don' disagree with the law itself. However, each technological advance is also an opportunity to break free from restrictions and mistreatment from the previous status quo.

I wouldn't say open source. But well-defined inter-operation protocols and strong encryption, yep.

Now would be an awesome time for reddit to add support for signed posts and comments.

A much more productive question would be: Why don't they allow it? They cite performance and security control, and really, can you blame them? The web is quite the wild west nowadays, and the WebViews they provide, while not ideal, cov

Or it could come from an already infected account, which might make the e-mail even less suspicious.

Well, there's also accountability if I'm installing, say, docker. Surely they want to make it easy to install their thing without a hitch, and that's why they provide https://get.docker.com for me to pipe into bas

You do realize brew itself has an installation method like the post describes, right? :)

by phn 10y ago
How is this different than say, brew install <whatever>? I'm trusting someone to serve me a piece of code to run either way. Brew, or the people that provide the https cert for the given endpoint, right?

Are you suggesting delaying security updates because it's Friday? I mean, you can update only on Monday if you so wish, you're unprotected either way.

Nothing of that. The reason has nothing to do with "startup culture", head in the clouds buzzword crap, quite the opposite. The changes are pushed and working in staging, the tests are passing, Q&A is done. Why hold off? So th

Easier said than done. It's best avoided, of course. But when on a startup you generally cannot afford to be an idealist.

Well, he'd have to sooner or later. Better start learning as soon as possible :)
