Agree with the fact that apps are rather irrelevant for many, though the thing that Apple's app store has poor discoverability is true. Only recently I understood that from Mac App store I have downloaded only OS X itself, Xcode, few O

This is so cringeworthy. Godaddy is scared of letsencrypt.org so much it decided to make this propaganda stuff? Ok I understand that letsencrypt.org provides only domain validation certificates, though it's better than nothing and it&#

I have read of many alternatives, though RPi has one feature, nothing can beat it today - community support. 99% problems you'll see on your RPi, you can find a solution to them in 5 minutes with Google. Maybe it will sound like nitpic

hm, I probably should check now, but were I live (non US), the last time I've checked zigbee prices started from 19$ :( But still the best thing will be that: - you will not need any dongles - can embed your project immediately - bette

Next awesome step would be RPi with integrated wifi/bluetooth, and it would become ultimate IoT/embedded development platform. Such step would increase price, I know, but AFAIK, most people are almost always buying either wifi or

That's great. Personally, one of the downsides of the original RPi (and RPi 2 as well), was it's , believe it or not, size. Sometimes I wanted to have some portable embedded projects, for which small micro-controller would not be

+1 they are weird compared to other cables.. Compared to any other cable in the market Apple's cables feel, look and handle way different. When charger cable is new it feels rather hard and inflexible. But later especially in areas whe

I've seen that from some models made in ~'08-'09, the cables do not fray. I have 2013 rmbp 13" I have handled my charger with great care avoiding as much twisting ant touching as possible, and after around 20 months, cab

Udacity is awesome, I got hooked on programming and use python as my go to language due to udacity's programming 101 class. I still have a lot of subscribed courses which are not finished :) and take a look at them from time to time. T

Scroll hijacking in your landing page? Why? Am I the only one, who cannot believe that websites made by (web)developers use scroll hijacking?

For me it's just feels too heavy and laggy, though I cannot compare to VS. But I do not do much iOS/OS X GUI development, so I am happy with the terminal/vim.

For me the most interesting part (and answer to it) why on OS X the game runs at 1FPS, whereas on windows machine with the same graphics card it runs just fine? What can make such considerable difference?

+1 I played 4 times on Safari with varying settings and it always converged into 50%/50% play ending in a draw. Whereas in Firefox or Chrome sometimes even after 10-15 turns, the asm.js version had 98-100% chance of winning.

Maybe it will seem as a dumb question, but how Twitter can be in the loss (in order of millions of US dollars) since day one, without (IMHO) clear path to profitability and not be bankrupt? It is growing, but it still has huge losses. Do in

AFAIK, Apple had a single major investment for it's incorporation. And it was a healthy investment, as Apple was making real money really fast. Twitter is flowing in the sea of red and as far as I know never had a dime of profit. Who g
