I've tried. They just stonewall me by claiming that the building is only wired for Comcast and refuse to communicate with me further on the subject. edit: It's an apartment building not a condo. In my previous condo building it wo

I don't know where you live, but where I live there is no choice for which ISP you use. This is true for many, if not the majority of people in the US. I am unable to use the ISP I want to use because it is blocked in my building by a

I have a 20 year old ASKO washer and dryer. The brushes on the washer's motor have to be replaced every 3-4 years and the plastic drawer where you add soap is broken and ugly looking (and unfortunately replacement parts are no longer a

I had no interest in an Apple watch but after getting one for Christmas this year it took me just a few days to fall in love with it. I now feel very foolish for how much I've spent on various FitBit devices that constantly failed.

For me, the amount of pleasure I derive from using Swift instead of Objective-C far outweighs the downside of crashes and bad error messages. At this point I think I'd stop working on iOS/macOS if I had to go back to working in Ob

Doesn't that mean that US citizens will actually end up paying for the wall through higher prices on these goods?

OT, but you can keep your high-end speakers and get the Sonos CONNECT:AMP. I have it and like it very much.

If your girlfriend wants a stable language for iOS development she should use Objective-C. Apple have been very clear about the fact that Swift is evolving and that there will be breaking changes. Changes to Swift are hardly indecisive or p

Try cutting down gradually, eventually getting to a single cup in the morning. Supplement with decaf. Then just decaf. I've found I miss coffee more than cafeene now so I still drink decaf. Difference is I can sleep and don't feel

Not sure what OP meant by crashes, but yeah, Xcode itself doesn't crash that much for me. SourceKit crashes all the time, but it restarts automatically and doesn't bring down Xcode. Not pleasant, but not terrible either.

What, in your opinion, has Apple done to macOS to make it more like iOS that alienates pro users? Has any iOS-like feature of macOS actually prevented you from using macOS functionality? I'm using Sierra and honestly haven't even

My iPhone 6 is still perfectly useable, I don't notice any slowness with iOS 10, certainly nothing that makes me want to upgrade.

I think princetman was being sincere that he loved the experience. homebrew went to the trouble of telling us that we could restore the default permissions to /usr/local, that's nice.

I plug something into my phone's headphone jack in my house, my girlfriend's house, her car, at friend's houses, and at work. That means I'd need to carry the adapter with me or have one in each place. Not the end of the

First of all if I could get oceanfront property for $700K in this area (Block Island or Cape Cod) I'd think that was a bargain. And anyway, yes, I would still feel that they're beautiful. There's something deeply satisfying f

The linked video of how bridge rectifier works is enlightening, funny and terrifying. Makes me glad I'm a software developer and not an electrical engineer so I'm in no danger of killing myself if I miscalculate. https:/&#x2

Years ago my optometrist suggested I do this exercise. I've been doing it at regular intervals throughout the day for the last 10 years or so. Can't say my eyesight has improved but maybe it's prevented it from getting worse.

As a longtime lisp developer I thought I'd love the REPL, but so far I really haven't had much use for it. I find myself using playgrounds quite a bit though.

I have a 35 minute walking commute in Boston, through the public gardens, which can be very beautiful. While it's not aimless, it does seem to have offer of the benefits that I get from aimless walking, which I also do fairly often. A

For some reason "so" used this way bothers me more than other fillers. Also, saying "sort of" something when you mean exactly that thing I also find very distracting.

I actually suspected that this was fiction when I read the part about Mr. Talese's tie accidentally hanging down through the vent above the couple having sex. How could that possibly happen without him or the couple noticing it?

I do iOS development in Swift and I generally don't exceed 80 characters. It was much harder to stay under 80 with Objective-C but still usually possible. Everyone else on my team is in love with writing 120+ character lines, which mak
