Doesn't services like Pingdom support multiple ping locations? If all of those fail, there's a very high chance there's an actual problem, if not with your server then with your (ISPs) connectivity.

They've always supported third party displays, but this is the first time that I recall that they've included third party displays in an Apple event / presentation. To me, it's a pretty sure sign that an external 5K disp

Nobody is claming that your're not a professional because you don't need a Mac Pro. Of course the majority of pro tasks will be served by the new Mac laptops. But that's not what we're discussing here. For the ones that

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but he was still CEO at that point (his biography has a section about how he dealt with the antennagate issue) after having made a recovery from the transplant.

Yes. And Microsoft was doing extremely well during Ballmers reign, and BlackBerry was doing extremely well for many years after iPhones release. Current revenue doesn't necessarily say anything about future decline, you need to look de

I think that's one thing that would actually make sense. Maybe they're more open to the idea now that they're publicly supporting and advertising third party displays. (edit:spelling)

I also don't think Apple will drop them, but for pro users the lack of updates is a serious problem. It's not like they couldn't have bumped the spec a little every year to keep people happy. People were rightly frustrated by

To the pro users that need more power than what you get from a laptop, there's no compelling alternative from Apple today. Even the iMac has thermal throttling that puts limits on its performance. I don't understand why you think

Sorry, but Steve Jobs also released lots of products with rough edges like that. (Remember "antennagate"?) I think we won't see how Apples management really works until there's a new product space that Apple entirely mis

He certainly picked a replacement he believed in. He made very sure that Jony Ive had certain powers inside Apple. He didn't die overnight, and had plenty of time to consider how to set up Apple. On the other hand, last time he picked

OTOH, since 2005 they've changed the connector _once_, and the adapter is seamless enough that I still use 2006 and 2008 model chargers without giving it a second thought.

From the article, it doesn't seem like he's talking about tools like Slack. If that goes down, maybe it affects your productivity, but probably not your production systems. What he warns against is betting too early on core techno

The future is bluetooth, and they're not making licensing fees off that.

There is no encryption AFAIK, and there wouldn't need to be any compression. Even today, you can connect a regular USB DAC / headphone amp to the iPhone via the USB camera connector dongle and use that. Any device that follows the

Is it really the case that languages with more features cause more project failures? Has the success rate of Java (the prototypical blub language) decreased after they've introduced new features like generics? My experience has often b

That's not true anymore. Cloudformation supports change sets that you can apply, similar to Terraform. They're not really human readable, but they're there. They also allow you to manually get out of the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILE

Well, it's not only easier, but it's easy to find others that share your (obnoxious or not) opinions in various groups. So now you're in an echo chamber where your opinions will gather likes and reposts, while your friends an

Ruining it is never the _intention_, but it happens often enough that people are right to worry when a company gets bought out.

I'm pretty sure that if you're considering using Lambda, you'd want to automate creating and deploying the Lambda functions in such a way that you could create any number of them for each developer to play with. That said, th

Pilots do have to monitor the behaviour of the autopilot. Even though they are programmed to do one thing (hold a course or altitude, change to a course or an altitude with a certain rate of change), they rely on potentially faulty sensors

I guess my question is, yes, you can know that you're still alive, but how can you know that you're still _you_?

The particles that make up your will have a probability of being in a certain place according to some rules. When you move, the particles "disappear" from one place and "appear" at another place. Do you know they are the

Why is there no knowing without a you? Won't the clone know just as well as you that he's you? What defines "you"? The matter you're made of? Is it a particular arrangement of that matter? (Would you care if your ne

Going even deeper, from one moment to another - how do you know that you're you? After all, you're not _exactly_ the same, since each moment brings new experiences, ever so slightly changing your memories. Quantum entanglement, pe

Maybe I'm the odd one out, but if that was the original plan that I had intended, I wouldn't object to that (given that it was painless) - after all, minus that conversation the clone would be me "in spirit" if you will.

Banking systems don't need impenetrable security for people to use them. People pay online and use online banking every day from easily compromisable laptops. They do so because banks and credit card companies have good fraud coverage

Isn't it open source? So clone the last release version you trusted, build that from source and be happy?

No, it's not true anymore. From the link you replied to: "On our production frontend machines, SSL/TLS accounts for less than 1% of the CPU load, less than 10 KB of memory per connection and less than 2% of network overhead.

Arduino/Wirings value is in what it _removed_ to give a standardised way of programming the microcontrollers. So the "little more" part is the difference between some art student being able to create something cool vs. giving
