CES is very important for companies like the one I work for because it's an alternative to visiting 50 places in China, Taiwan and Europe when it comes to talking to component suppliers, contract manufacturers, ODM, JDM, etc. When you

(Spoken as if to a Google employee) — Someone will build them a search engine. In fact several someones have already. Your company doesn’t have to do it, and you don’t have to work for them if they do.

Like: the emphasis on tests, with real pointers to testing Terraform plans. That's legit, and hard advice to come by. Dislike: 300K lines of infrastructure code, but all he talked about was DevOps issues? Surely he learned something ab

Have you used the Kindle app? You can do title search, look at details of books, see reviews, download sample chapters, and download Kindle Unlimited books directly to your library with one click. I presume what you _can_ and _can't_ d

In the Node/NPM world, this is pretty difficult. There are many ( many ) small libraries and everything you depend on brings in many more.

Let’s use the Kindle app as an example then. The app cannot link to their site when I search for a book I don’t have. If it did, the app would be banned. So Apple is trying to extract a 30% premium from Amazon and the only way for them to a

I’m from Texas. Good biscuits are light, fluffy and moist. Good gravy is creamy and flavorful, no sugar. You had a very bad experience.

Some of us judge the policies of the people in office, regardless of their ostensible party association. In a state where you have to register as a Democrat in order to have a chance at winning in many districts, the label doesn't mean

Some people actually are short-sleepers naturally. He might be one of them. Or he might just be perpetually exhausted to the point where he's learned to "function" on less sleep. Speaking from personal experience, you can get

I have! I’m not an expert at it, though.

Why would people need to actually be on site? Isn't a lot of astronomy done remotely these days?

Yeah, this is fine until I want the last element of an array. Then I have to iterate it to find it. And writing a loop to get the last element of an array is crazy-town.
797.
by sulam 8y ago
Sorry, but tables are awful in practice. I have to iterate all the elements to get a count? This is especially egregious when I’m using one like a list/array and need to know how far to iterate. Maybe there’s a better way I don’t know?

I'm not arguing they should. Just proposing a possible answer that would be reasonable.

I found it interesting (just started reading it, so this is near the beginning) that they have no employees in the SF Bay Area. Since I assume they are using Ruby and RoR (heh), it seems like there must be some filtering function removing t

His reason for why he’s a vi guy was funny! (He only had 60M free for his Linux partition and emacs wouldn’t fit). It did sound mildly apocryphal but so did most of it. My reason for vi is equally random. I learned Unix at college, but I wa

When you sum up all the red shifts of a large piles of galaxies they are receding from us at speeds faster than can easily be explained using the Hubble model. One theory for this is a repulsive energy of a form we have not yet observed, du

Or if you're me and millions like me -- take off your glasses. Works like a charm! (By which I mean it doesn't ever work.)

Okay, then to take the OS analogy: GitHub: Windows Atlassian: MacOS GitLab: ??? You could try on Linux for size, but I don't think it fits. So either as an analogy it doesn't work, or this idea doesn't scale.

Yeah, having a way to rapidly say no to a lot of otherwise-interesting opportunities is probably valuable to him. And honestly -- getting a 'no' and a clear reason for it is awesome investor behavior compared to the norm. :)

This is very clear and doesn’t include any of the usual wiggle words corporate entities use to create uncertainty about facts. I’m personally assessing it as an accurate representation of Apple’s piece of this story.
