I'd argue that if you're running out of 1TB local storage for data you use frequently, then this completely cloud based service won't work for you anyway. Imagine how much data will go back and forth for that 1+TB. Something

Local storage is extremely cheap. Except for mobile devices where it's kept artificially expensive as a way to price discriminate. However, I would not want to build a company around bypassing local storage because when (if?) local sto

Thanks for your feedback. Let me ask you a few more questions about your experience. The _nix commands/tools you're used to don't just start and end with Bash, right? What about the other commands/tools you used that sti

Running a VM means I get the best of both Linux and Windows. I also get the worst of both Linux and Windows. I don't think OSX has gotten bad enough for me to go that route and be forced to manage two operating systems.

Part of the problem is that many power users have no other option. Many of us can't use Windows because we need our primary machine to be _nix for various reasons (because our servers are Linux based, because we're used to the com

Your kind of arguments were also made about how Apple was going to disrupt the watch industry, the TV industry, and maybe a few more industries. Watches and TVs are closer to Apple's expertise than cars. Apple still hasn't been ab

One easy way to remember which is which: Recall the term "command line arguments." That will remind you that arguments are what's passed to the function. So, parameters are what's declared/defined in the function.

Just to clarify, I'm not suggesting that everyone should do this. But, if you work at Microsoft, and you think that your choice of browsers is unfairly judged whether or not you use Chrome or Edge, then I'd do the following: Show

How about using different browsers for different screenshots?

As long as Swift continues to have strong reliance on Apple, Swift on server-side will run the risk of being a second-class citizen. It's unlikely to have a well-established ecosystem of external developers either because Swift current

No, it's not just about the media industry. He also can't buy Angry Birds to gift to his wife either. Again, because she would have an iTunes account from another country. And not because Rovio asked Apple to block such a sale.

Guacamole is amazing! Maybe this is a good place to ask this question: Is there a way to make RDP work for two simultaneous users? Currently, as soon as the second RDP connection is made, the first one is logged out. So, we're forced t

I can actually see why some VCs would invest that way though. A startup proves that there's a massive market opportunity (think Uber's initial days), it's still not a certainty that that startup will be the eventual winner. S

Whether a shareholder will get any returns in Living Social is not what I'm talking about. As a company, their job is to do whatever they legally can to protect (and grow) a shareholder's investment. If hiring Americans goes again

If you had your savings in this company as a shareholder, and if you knew that the company could survive and maybe prosper (unlikely in case of LS) by reducing its cost of customer service by outsourcing it, then would you not support this

The most interesting bit for me was about "Social Screen." If I understand correctly, this will allow two people to play non-VR games on the same PS4 without splitting screen on TV. One person will be looking at the TV, and the ot

Thank you for sharing this. If you are open to some constructive feedback, I'd say - The best help that Elixir can get at this moment is endorsements / detailed-examples from large and respected companies. That will help a lot of

Yes, I'd say modern Java is a good candidate too. However, the verbosity is a deal-killer for me. Go's error handling can be verbose, but while scanning the code, if I want/need to, I can easily skip through the error handlin

I'm not sure how I feel about it either. That's why I decided to ask for feedback. As for responding to sarciszewski's comment, there will still be a salt on the client side. We obviously don't want to use a fixed salt f

Very valid questions. Let me try to answer them and let's see if those answers are valid or not. Yes, the scrypt hash just becomes the password for the server. However, this password is going to be unique and almost impossible to guess
