If it helps, Circle is now usable for UK people. I think it's one of the few that makes UK<>US payments easy. Square Cash is not available in the UK for example. The US has a much larger choice. Unsure about other countries, sorr

Is this something that would be affected by file system defaults? I see it writes in 512 byte chunks by default, when MacOS moves to APFS, is this something that might be altered as a result and thus get a 'free' speedup?

This is a tech-focused link aggregator. Googles a pretty big player in the tech industry, so it seems natural that at some point there may be many google related articles about. You would know this isn't "fake news" if you sp

Facebooks' an american canc^^^^company, so naturally it acts only in its own thinking. I mean what do you expect? It's facebook. It was founded on dubious merit, the company will operate in the most grey it possibly can. (Not want

Bit of a tangent, but that was a surprisingly readable article for TheRegister. They seemed very clickbaity with CAPITAL LETTER WORDS scattered around not so long ago. Are they now back to this more reasonable style in general or was this a

My guess is that astronautical internet to the space station doesn't have high enough latency to cause problems, so 'normal' protocols can be used happily enough. But if you want to link a colony on Mars to Earth's inter

Ah, interesting, it seemed as if it wasn't going to be competing with current ssd's in terms of capacity, but the last part of the article mentions 10x the capacity of nand and so over a terabyte on an M.2 drive. Assuming price mi

If your English skills are reasonable, it's fairly easy to parse the article and fill in the gaps yourself. Probably easier than a non-native writer wrestling with a spelling or grammar checker when they might not know if the suggestio

This makes me think of Python 2 vs 3 benchmarks for some reason, although I'm sure I'm not remembering very well. I assume there's plenty of scope for ES6 to improve and (hopefully?) surpass ES5 in performance in many, if not

Does this cost money..? I remember when the iOS app came out for the computational engine. For $50. I'm sure that was a long since rued decision to price it like that, but I still have this odd feeling about Wolfram doing this fancy st
