Background tasks are partly to blame for a device's performance degradation over time - see Windows and Android devices. I have more apps than anyone on my iPhone and the performance is still great. I can just imagine if all the stupid

Anyone know if this has been digitized yet or when it will be available? I am so impressed by this woman’s work. So much of our history is being lost, forgotten, or is inaccessible by the general public.

+1 for italki, being able to talk with a native speaker on demand for a low price is so awesome.

I'll trade you it for some paper money I made up and this super cool sea shell that I found... what's your point?

If you hold Bitcoins it's great. Every lost coin makes all the others more valuable. A true constant/deflationary resource, much more so than even gold.

From the presentation they mention that Lidar is good at developing tech demos quickly, but they've found it is insufficient in reality. Which of those 10 companies you reference have moved far beyond tech demos?

Generally no one uses dynamic typing for the abilities it gives you. Do you declare string variables to later assign them to numbers? Do you dynamically add new functions and properties to objects? Do you ever really need the flexibility t

I guess you could probably sign up online somewhere. Any idea where that is?

Is there a source? Where can I pay a few hundred dollars to get someones exactly location?

Medicaid is last resort, you can’t take care of yourself, nursing home where your social security payment is taken in full to offset the cost to the government. Assisted living could be covered by Medicaid but there’s usually a waiting list

Medicare won’t pay for assisted living, but you can use your social security money towards it. If you can’t pay, and you can’t take care of yourself then Medicaid kicks in, your social security gets taken and you go to a nusing home.

After 3 years of the Rift and Vive. Oculus made a dumb move of releasing a cheaper headset. Valve on the other hand is set to release the real upgrade everyone has been waiting for. Check out the comments in the Oculus reddit. People are go

As long as people can buy ASICs, what's the risk of centralization? I'm pro-ASIC because it dissuades hackers from using my computer to mine crypto. If anything you should be against large mining guilds. That's the real centr

Also very easy (and cheap) to replace the screen and battery on the SE.

Continue to hold your SE, as I do. You are a statistic to Apple, and keeping your phone helps. Eventually they will get the message that people like the SE form factor and will do something (finally).

int[] UserIDs; If you had a choice of knowing the variable was an int[] or knowing it’s name was UserIDs the latter would be much more useful. This is why new languages are trending towards inferred types. Much easier to write and read (you

Believe me I’ve tried. There are a lot of them though and all pretty young and would rather agree w each other.

20 years. I find reading code with inferred types much much easier. The signal is what the code is doing. The typings are noise. Edit: In a big complicated system, knowing the type like ‘user’ or ‘account’ doesn’t tell you much. There’s alw

So much easier to read and write code with inferred types. Though my co-workers obsessed with writing ‘good’ code refuse to use them. They also refuse to write comments because their code is so good ‘it documents itself’.

So thankful organizations like the EFF exist. If you work for a FAANG please take the Santa Clara Principles to heart and push them up through your ranks.

Too late. Every new person we hire has the best idea to break our system into tons of micro-services. It'll pretty much happen at this point. Can't fight the mob.

Unless there is something special going on.. experience seems to be a property of matter itself. Which could mean everything is aware to some extent. People, dogs, rocks, etc.. But because of our big complicated brains that can hold memorie
