GSuite would be Google. I don't think an advertising company is really going to be that much better than Verizon. And if I just want 1TB of online storage I have better options. The question was about a "photo sharing" app

Any suggestions for migrating away from Flickr while preserving my data? Google, etc. don't really seem like they will be any more ethical.

TouchID is great, but if I've been sweating or have some moisture on my hands for another reason (say I'm cooking and want to check the recipe) it fails horribly.

I think it is a matter of perspective. Say we take Planck time to be the atomic unit of time. Then really any larger unit of time can be viewed as interval of time with some error bounds. One you reach time units of on the scale of &quot

If you mean my development computer, I use a 2012 rMBP with 16GB RAM. For production we generally run on EC2 or GCE. The biggest limitation is RAM, but in the near future we may start using the GPU too. Between the database, middleware abo

I really think too many people are making a big deal of the TouchBar. I'm a vim user, and when the first rumors of it surfaced earlier this year I switched ESC to capslock and after a day or so adapted just fine. I don't know tha

Because serious developers require computers with more horsepower (CPU, GPU, memory, etc.) than Apple is providing? 16GB is nowhere near enough for my work. And I can't seriously justify buying a iMac or MacPro at this point when thei

We aren't concerned about innovation, we're exasperated that we still can't get any more RAM on them than we could 4 years ago.

Still no 32GB option. I guess Pros just don't need that kind of memory?

If they really believed, Humanyze's own employees would be using it. I saw no such mention in the article.

HOAS representations can only contain junk if you have not taken appropriate precautions. See the paper "Boxes Go Bananas" for one technique.

Type inference for HM is actually exponential, due to generalization for let-polymorphism. You're probably thinking of inference for a language with just simple types.

by trurl 10y ago
I had thought about that, but I am pretty sure the reason Hindley-Milner is exponential has to do with the generalization for let-polymorphism. I'm not familiar with all the details of Swift, but I do not recall seeing that it will in

Oh, I definitely recognize the absurdity of the amounts of memory modern software consumes. Twenty years ago I used Linux with 256MB RAM and had pretty much the same sorts of applications running.

I am building a next generation database product. With debugging symbols enabled, the running database can easily take up 8GB in some of our unit tests. Then there is a web services layer written in Java above that. And then there is my

Thanks, somehow I had missed that when looking at the tech specs.

Yeah, I'm only a couple years off from forty and I'm pretty sure my vision is not nearly fifty percent dimmer than twenty years ago. Certainly my glasses prescription has changed slightly, but that is more about redirecting the l

And using "def" is actually considered better Scala style in situations like this, exactly because it is more flexible. You can override a "def" with a "val" but not the other way around.

It isn't about freedom. If you are going to parametrize the entire trait, there is no longer any point to giving T a higher kind. As such it just adds noise and is bad style.

This is partly why I stopped donating to the FSF. They're dumping some amount of that money into misguided PR campaigns rather than helping out the developers trying to make free software better.

I was first intrigued, but when I saw the price I couldn't really see it being all that useful. It is possible to buy a 4K display with a similar 150dpi resolution for less. So the only advantage I can see here is lower power consumpt

I'm pretty sure such visas exist, as my team has employees in four countries and we try to meet in person every quarter.
