It depends on what input system you use. If you draw characters with your finger, as many Chinese do, it's pretty slow. If you're on Android and use Google Pinyin you can swipe across letters just like you can in English. Based on

I'm not the author, but I think this idea, as well as Jeremy Ashkenas' reaction to SemVer, both try to address the underlying assumption that all you need is a version number to know if you should upgrade. First, in practice there

$80 more for the higher-DPI Kindle Voyage seems a bit steep. Usually each generation of e-Ink Kindles were roughly the same price but with incremental improvements. I don't see much improvement in the Voyage to justify a big price incr

I'm curious how they handled the differences between the Rails 2 and Rails 3 applications once they enabled dual boot. Surely not all of the changes were compatible. In the Gemfile example, there is some conditional logic that loads di

It's usually wise to handle large transitions incrementally. Rails 3 before Rails 4 is probably a wise choice.

Not only that, but the trend is to pay users for adoption. When all the apps in a sector (e.g. taxi-hailing) are free, there can't be competition on price so they give customers cash back. Sometimes the payback can be more than the tax

Materialism abounds in China, but the average middle-class lifestyle is frugal by American standards. There are a handful of small, expat-owned software agencies in the major Chinese cities. These are your best bet for getting the type of j

Yes, they are used a lot. Sometimes a whole station will be empty, but they have staff who help replenish bikes in those cases. Hangzhou is a heavily touristed city and there are a lot more tourists using the bikes around the scenic spots.

I live in Hangzhou and they are already addressing these problems. For example, there is a network of public bike stations. To use a bike, you make a 200 yuan deposit on a public transportation card. The first hour bike rental is free. Afte

The worst case scenario is when there are only vague requirements or too many half-baked ideas. And somehow you're supposed to say when those poorly-defined features can be done. As if the completion date is not closely tied to the ful

How does a Chemex or French Press compare to a Moka pot? I like the strength of my Moka pot coffee which is somewhere in between an espresso and an Americano or drip coffee.

I have a plane stuck on train tracks and a train hovering over my city. Other than that, it's a pretty good SimCity imitation in 3D.

Caps-lock as control is a nice but unsymmetrical mapping. If you want to avoid pain you might want to use the opposite hand to hold control while hitting a key combo. At least, this is what works best for me. I never have to twist my hand i

Unless the fines are 2-3 times the amount stolen. That would cut into the legitimate portion of their income and likely be a strong deterrent.

This is very nice looking, although the initial settings were too fast and made it a bit distracting. I've stuck with the default live wallpaper that came with my Nexus 4 until now.
