A fair point - I'm not contesting the need for it just curious as to what people are doing. I record my demos now as I don't care for live demos but that's just my way of dealing with it.

That's fair and that's why I'm asking the question. I'm curious what others are doing that they feel they need more than 16gb. I'm not contesting people's needs, I'm curious what they are.

Wut? I guess my viewpoint is skewed as a developer. I spend most of my time making the product I work on use as little RAM and CPU as possible. RIP js developer's RAM.

This is a sincere question: what do people need with 32 GB of RAM on a dev laptop? I work on an MBA 11" with 8GB and I'm using Parallels to run Visual Studio 2015 for a work related project (100k+ C#/C++ codebase). Other than

At least in my opinion, the ThinkPad Carbon X1 is glaringly missing in that lineup.

As a fastmail user for the last 3 years, I would say fastmail. I pay $130/3 yr so about $3.61 a month. Considering how integral email is to my day to day life, the cost of a drink at Starbucks seems reasonable to pay per month. The fle

My understanding is without the binary blob, no. That's where the magic happens.

This is neat. I'm curious if the author has gotten to test it with a Gigabit internet connection yet? I initially intended to build my own router when I got Gigabit internet. After some research, I settled on a SOHO solution that seeme

I think anti-glare is helpful. For a while I had a pair of glasses with and a pair without and I definitely preferred anti-glare on work days. It is something that is added when they make the lenses.

This is not new. Been in the OS at least since iOS 8, maybe iOS 7. It's also not hidden... it's part of the system services listed. Sensational headline.

For eye strain specifically - f.lux on all computers, Night Shift on my iPhone, and anti-glare coated glasses. Combine that with getting up every 20 minutes to walk for a few minutes. Additionally, I use some good quality eye drops like Sys

With regard to your last comment about hiring senior devs with experience in the stack: I would say it depends on what you're hiring for and your long term vision for your team I think. In my team's case, I was hired to do ML&#x2F

I'd imagine it's not much different in Central and South America based on my travels. You can walk into any pharmacy and show them the word "amoxicillin" and they'll give you a 2 week course. Edit: a word

Do you have any recommendations?

The great thing about it is it's pretty much "batteries included" by default. I only had to configure four things: tab width, insert spaces, colour theme, and show tabs/spaces. I finally took the plunge over the long wee

I have one for my gigabit connection at home and quite like it. It's able to hit about 933mbps to WAN->LAN which is important. Note: I don't use OpenBSD on it, just the default OS which is a custom roll of Debian.

Keep in mind Power != PowerPC. Related families but there are differences (exercise left to the reader).

In he case of the IBM Power processor, it'd be difficult to find the individual pieces. The computers are typically sold as prefab units by IBM or a third party. Not much of a build-it-yourself market. That said, they're expensive

Has he reevaluated his investment at all with them since some of their sketchy business? I've been trying to decide with the chunk of money I have invested there.

I suspect a considerable portion can be attributed to FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Whether it's that new Netflix show, some snapchat celebrity, watching the news, getting stuck in a Wikipedia hole, or going out with people after working

I think you're right regarding codecs. Either way, not enough to convince me to carry one around due to my own experience.

I have a DAC actually and didn't find it to considerably improve the sound for me over the P2AV2 (my amp). This is on the iPhone 6s. At least not enough to warrant carrying it and the amp between work and home. I do use it at home at m

There isn't one. At least not for mere mortals or even most HiFi nerds. I've got $300 headphones I use with my iPhone. They sound exceptionally better (especially with an amp) than shit earbuds it comes with. Even if Apple traded

You'd need the electronics somewhere in the headphone to convert the digital signal to an analog one. The pair of headphones I use the most (B&W p5) is actually exceedingly easy to replace the wire on. B&W also happens to have

And yet I've got three pair of $300 headphones in my house between my wife and I, two of which are 6+ years old. If you take care of high quality headphones they will last quite along time. Wire wears out? Replace it. Ear pads lost the
