DigitalOcean still beats Linode on price as half the time I don't need a 2GB server but I do want to keep servers separate (multiple 512s at $5 is better for me than 1 2GB).

He wrote the code to show you that you don't need to import IOException you can use a catch all to avoid a throws statement in the method header. This is bad code as he said.

Depending on the website 13 requests is kind of small, 20-30 requests for a regular page probably more likely with maybe 3 or 4 that can be cached on an unoptimized site and the re…

Beats is built to grow off of the beats brand at least I believe it is. They also have tons of money for advertising so they had a superbowl ad and many TV ads so I think maybe a l…

I think people should lose their money and learn why it is a bad idea to keep your bitcoins in something pretending to be a bank, an exchange, and other things all in one.

That is disappointing I understand that work deserves money but I wanted a viable competitor to the big 2. Emacs has gotten better because of XEmacs, vim may get better because of …

Well I mean what's wrong with adding a file to /etc/paths.d which is picked up by the default shells using /usr/libexec/path_helper It works for Mactex without fucking with the sys…

I don't know maybe the intel iris (I think 5100) is a substantial improvement, the only review I found on anandtech was for 2012 version which had the hd4000. Or maybe the performa…

I'd say apply now before it is to late (if you haven't already), attempt to get a job during the summer for what you think you can ($60,000-80,000 may be iffy unless you have acces…

I have a RMBP13" from late 2013 and it depends on what you are going to do. My VMware Fusion linux image has the option to use full retina resolution which doesn't work well yet be…

What trouble? I haven't had any issues so far, maybe if you want to play games at that resolution it would be a problem.

Just so you know after introductory prices a few years ago it was cheaper to have the "basic" cable + internet than just internet from comcast. It may have changed since I don't li…

Probably because it isn't an official port, there is no reason to learn .NET if you don't develop exclusively for Microsoft. If you're developing for multiple platforms chances are…

Did I miss where it says what size Linode and DO server is being compared, and the price of each? I'm guessing the smallest DO may have more competition for disk IO than the smalle…

You need the water for cooling in a power plant, this is why many are built near rivers or lakes, and if they aren't they will have large manmade ponds or lakes from which to gathe…

If you like a DE use the remix they are pretty vanilla (ubuntu gnome, lubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu) you can make them more vanilla if you forgo installing a desktop cd and just instal…

You can see it as an alternative to Matlab/R (sorta)/numpy not C. People only ever used C when speed was crucial and depending on what you were comfortable in or what you had learn…

Well submission and comment karma are the same karma on HN so it's hard to tell them apart the only other factor you can look at that might be reasonable or a popularity contest is…

Idk about the pricing but can you use all that bandwidth in a reasonable time period? Can DO's pipes handle a sustained load of whatever a 16core 48gb ram machine can handle withou…

It is pretty standard for elementwise operations to use . Matlab you have .* ./ .^ and probably more and for good reason. I don't really see it as being awkward it actually very us…
