In my experience that was only true of the Ivy Bridge models. I've used both the 13 & 15 inch Haswell Pros, and neither seems to have any appreciable GUI lag, with the possible exc…

It will be interesting to see how that aspect ratio feels. I definitely like the 4:3 ratio on the iPad, and hate the fact that Android devices are all 16:9 or 16:10, which is a ter…

I completely agree about the keyboard cover. That accessory is critical to the experience of using the device. Without it the Surface is an oversized tablet with a diminutive app s…

I've had to run a Windows VM on a Mac because I needed to run SSMS, but if I were doing .NET development in Visual Studio and heavily using PowerShell on the command-line, I'd prob…

Well, the Republicans voted against it because they believe that ANY regulation of broadband is unnecessary and beyond the FCC's power anyway. The Democrats believe that the federa…

I also typically look outside the app store first for a couple of reasons: 1. I've gotten burned more than once when developers have placed major updates to their apps in the app s…

Out of curiosity, how are you able to work as little as you do?

Interesting, the per-ride fair on the subway is cheaper but the monthly pass is actually more expensive at (I think, I don't have one) $130/mo. However, the subway does truly feel …

> This is one of the few fields left in tech where men outnumber / outperform women Outnumber, yes, but outperform? You seem to be implying that female developers are worse at thei…

It does seem like an awful lot. There are furniture boutiques in Manhattan where you could easily spend $87,000 outfitting your apartment, but then if you were spending that kind o…

Airbnb will almost certainly cover the damages: https://www.airbnb.com/guarantee . He might not have as much luck getting them to pay his relocation costs, since I'm sure that rent…

Yea, it is illegal. Even if you are allowed to sublet your apartment, renting it out for any period of time less than 29 days is classified as running a hotel, which you aren't all…

Duck typing in dynamic languages can allow you to do some pretty cool things.

Very good to know. At first I was irritated at having to shell out for another upgrade less than a year after 12, but it sounds like this is a worthy update.

For Mac or Linux noders who would prefer an IDE to a simple editor + command line tools, IntelliJ with the Node plugin is pretty good. It has code assist and debugging built in, an…

There is a big difference between allowing devs to do "whatever the fuck they want" and the degree of standardization you are talking about. Every team I've worked on has adopted t…

Oh, that might be. I was only trying to make a general point about how ad placement like that could easily go too far, at least in the eyes of some. I actually try to avoid flying …

I've used the Air as a full-time development machine in the past. It can be great if it fits how you write code. I write code in emacs or vim, so I would run that in a fullscreen t…

I was worried when I saw this headline, and then very relieved when I saw what was actually going on. So long as Google only returns these sponsored ads for searches for the compan…

Few of these points are particularly compelling. The problem with Bizspark is that it does eventually run out, and once it does you have to license all of those Windows Server/SQL …

So this time next year we will have the Microsoft Surface 4, the Surface 4E (or some other letter that really means "the cheaper one" and comes in fun colors), the Surface 10.1, an…

Supply chain yes, but not the patents. Microsoft receives a 10-year license to Nokia's patents, but ownership of those patents will remain with Nokia.

Also, MSMQ while I'm at it.

Looks like this is getting updated, so... No ActiveMQ?
