ubreakifixit is the only place that can do a glass replacement and keep it with warranty. If your screen is dead, and not just your glass cracked, I don't know. A screen replacemen…

I had a Pixel which literally slipped half an inch to the floor and the screen cracked. Verizon told me that it was damage that I did and thus they wouldn't replace it. I complaine…

Because many of the base infrastructure libraries are compatible as long as they used interfaces ( grumble grumble os.File ). I would be very surprised if this doesn't implement ne…

This. It's actually more idiomatic to use the same name, then you can often just sub out one library for another without any hassle.

Disclaimer: I work for Google. FWIW, having played around with Google's routers, they work pretty well , even from iOS. Chromecasts "just work" in the old Apple sense of the term: …

Please take your non-science elsewhere.

It's just an upper-bound. "At its worst peak it'll be 5x"

Look at this chart: https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GLc5ve5_djc/V-ysZgW6uDI/AAAAAAAAD... The worst case scenario was 5x, which was a factor of 10 off. If you are that far off when you d…

Where did you get the idea it drives interviewers crazy? a) I shouldn't ask questions that are in that book, any question found in the wild is banned. b) I want my candidates to st…

> A hiring process that can be gamed by reading a book sold by the process giver is especially flawed and morally corrupt. Hahaha, please tell me another one Mr. Trump. > A hiring …

a) Big US enterprises are under attack from state-sponsored actors on a daily basis, so it's not that weird. It's not like the NSA weren't caught with their hands in the cookie jar…

I'm not entirely convinced that people who have a bad experience with Windows support would then assume Azure support was poor, similarly with Amazon and AWS... Why should Google […

FWIW Google Cloud Support != Google support in general. My interactions with Cloud Support on the other side of the fence has led me to believe they are very committed and working …

Can you point me to instructions for this setup? I'd love to try F# (having dabbled in Haskell) on macOS, but I keep getting the feeling that F# really needs Visual Studio to shine…

I'm surprised people can use Iron at all. I tried really really hard to use it and found the complete lack of documentation (or, worse, outdated blog posts) made it impossible. Is …

"Putting all this nice stuff into practice" is the kicker. I'd really like to do FP work, but I'm not willing to leave my current employer to do it. I think there's basically a sku…

Bad programmers are always going to be bad programmers, no matter what their age. Bad programmers are inflexible and unadaptable; unable to keep up with new languages or idioms. Ke…

Santa Cruz hates building housing. It's worse than SF in that regard. Source: Lived here 10 years.

Fair enough; some more noodling over the signature made it a bit more obvious than it seemed banged out at the back of an OSCON presentation. I think the point still holds. Maybe j…

Yeah, once you actually get to the text, it's really good and clearly improved from 12 months ago when I last got the free time to play around significantly. Thanks for the bug tic…

Specific thought: Trait implementation pages like http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/std/collections/hash_... should output the first paragraph of the documentation text. That …

I'd say rustdoc is pretty rough. It's very hard to navigate the rust stdlib vs, say, Go, and when you do find what you want, it's often specified in some very cryptic manner that s…

I was really excited, then very disappointed to see the code I type is sent to your servers. This immediately prevents it from being used by many businesses, including my employers…

Disclaimer: I work at El Goog. I recently moved teams so that I could use Go exclusively. It's often been said that Go solves the problems Google developers have, and it's 110% tru…
