A couple years ago we ordered an "on-demand" printed book from Amazon for an old public domain book. It came misprinted, with a book on "Mobile Solar Power" right in the middle of it. I took a look through it cause I tho

Steve Jobs and Tim Cook have both stated that they don't hesitate to cannibalize their own products, and Apple has proved that many times over. Especially at the scale in which iPad having developer tools could ostensibly cannibalize M

There’s also the `;`, which repeats the last movement! So if you did `dft` and didn’t see the extra “t” in the way in the first place, you can then just do `d;`. It’s like `.` but for movement! I think that’s right anyway, no vim terminal a

I’m a musician who went to a music school that had a lot of nice pianos. I love playing piano but I don’t consider myself a pianist. My wife is a pianist who studied piano performance. We own a refurbished 1924 Steinway and we love it. I’ve

Glad they're doing this, though I think there's a place for globalization too. I bought a couple USA-made Milwaukee carpenter squares a couple years ago and found the quality (accuracy) wanting, unfortunately. I hope whatever stri

I would personally consider accusations of "aggression" in that particular comment to be unfounded.

I don't know. Is it worse to objectify them or to treat them functionally? How would you feel to be locked up and separated into discrete units, only to be used up and thrown away?

They had some attention here when they did Sleepify too. I think there was a more popular post than in this link, but perhaps without their name in the title? I just did a quick search. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7

This may not be what you are looking for, as it’s about history rather than usage. However, if you are interested in the subject you may find it quite interesting, and perhaps helpful in some manner too. https://youtube.com/

I'm pretty interested in this type of thing and am concerned with the current state-of-the-art of online shopping surrounding these issues. One thing that I've been thinking about a lot is the difficulty in defining what "sus

My understanding is that when talking about aircraft, "lighter-than-air" means that it's designed to require no additional lift to keep it aloft regardless of cargo. Anything requiring non-aerostatic lift would be considered

It's true the aerostatic lift would help here, but the Airlander 10 is not actually a lighter-than-air aircraft. It's a hybrid and requires aerodynamic lift from forward movement in addition to lift from its engine-driven propelle

I couldn't find anything to confirm this, but as a Lebanese-American myself — I'd say from his name, looks, and speech I heard in a video on YouTube, he's probably Lebanese and possibly Syrian.

With Stripe's straight-forward pricing at 2.9% + $0.30, I don't understand the pricing ambiguity here: "and Stripe, our payments processor, will apply credit card processing fees (about 3-5%)." Why 3-5%? Is there somethi

I think the reason is that it's a brand new language that has unimplemented and missing features. Regex as a first-class citizen seems like it absolutely fits into the goals that Swift has and I would be very surprised if its long-term

Yes! Gblame is fantastic. Xcode also has some pretty good git blame, git log, and version comparison support directly in the editor. I find that kind of thing fantastically useful for understanding why a section of code is the way it is.
