Anyone have any good theories as to how this could have happened? Is it really plausible that it was "accidentally" drilled during manufacture, and not detected? I mean, surely there must be some kind of testing step where they

I can't decide how much I buy this argument. I was born in 1980, and started programming Logo and BASIC very young (around 5 and 7 years old respectively). Almost everything this post describes is familiar to me: typing in code from bo

Perfect combination of a really useful mechanism to trigger an action when you're far from a computer, with an action that you never ever need to trigger when you're far from a computer.

I'm a web dev, used Chrome heavily for years. Switched to Firefox 6 months ago. It was ok, but now with 57 it's great. There's hardly anything that doesn't work. Only use Chrome for Hangouts and Google Cast now.

For me, having an idea for a project, and having that project work out well definitely makes me happy...for a while. But it all depends what you want to achieve. A goal of earning $X per year seems a bit hollow, so unless that means a lot t

Surprised that the author is quoting latency of editors to 0.1ms, when the precision of the camera is only 4ms. Are they really repeating these tests 40+ times?

Author here. Yeah, the lack of authorship (and any kind of user awareness, really) is a pain. There are so many ways in which Git has simply failed. It was basically an experimental piece of software designed for a hypothetical world which

Huh. Is "Alphabet" a pun? The "other bets" lose money, while the "alpha bet" (Google) makes lots.
