I worked as a cleaner in a tax office. After a few months I ended up spending time helping people with their Excel skills, as someone had asked if I was studying etc & I told them Computer Science :) I have found that some people always

Has anyone used this service, and why should someone ditch their current provider to use it? All I've seen is the founder kicking off about Apple murdering kittens, which put me off looking any further. I've got my own domain host

The point of having a standard library is that it'd actually ship with the interpreter, so you wouldn't have to "get more than you need" - it'd already be there without having to download. Obviously there would be a

JavaScript really needs a proper standard library. Has any sort of central authority ever tried to drive this forward? Maybe it should fall upon the ECMA people to get this done, seeing as they’re the ones that define the ESx specs? I don’t

Traditional SQL-based data warehouses still rule the world, and probably will for the foreseeable. HN reports on a small number of businesses that use bleeding-edge technologies (often just for the sake of it). The vast majority of business

Magic Leap put billions, years & plenty of effort in. What did they actually produce vs what they promised?

Wow, they managed to raise another $350m. What a strange world we live in.

That is not true at all. If an iOS device is jailbroken the bank has to assume the worst, which is that the device is compromised and has malware. I don’t blame them, they’re mitigating another potential risk. Malware that’s essentially a r

The only time I’ve seen similar delays is when my mac decides it needs to do something on an external disk that needs to spin up. I have a 12Tb external that can take 10 seconds to spin up, so get a 10 second stall waiting for I/O once
