> The Tech Backlash If there is a tech backlash, I don't see how more tech is the solution. I downloaded WeCroak, after reading an Atlantic article about it being an anti-app to re…

Be warned of the time sink that is trying to get mods running on desktop Minecraft. Each version update breaks compatibility and your kids have a hard time understanding why they c…

> Personally I tried BASIC... JavaScript is the new BASIC, in the sense that it is universally available and a great first language to pick up. It is easy to forget that self-taugh…

With high dimensionality data (think many columns), plotting the first two eigenvectors provides a fantastic clustering of the rows. In genetics for example, this plot may separate…

But it does prevent a business trying to run off of free supercharger power from just buying up used Teslas...

They called him on this potentially happening too during the pitch. I hope they bought all the Teslas they need!

I was thinking that too, then I realized he was wrapping the code in `DB.transaction` blocks, which rollback on any type of exception, so that all those staged/checkpoint entries o…

Really, the iPhone 7 was just the 6SS. The 'S' revision was spec and camera bumps, but no major case changes and the 7 made no case differences over the 6S. But probably a 6SS or w…

There is definitely a changing Rust definition of good code hygiene in terms of how to write code in the most "Rustic" way, but in terms of code formatting, there is already rustfm…

My first thought is are they adding enough value to take a 30% cut off a digital subscription service? But then I flipped the question to whether as a consumer, I would be more lik…

This is really cool! I have been using Exponent (Expo) on a side project for 5 months and love it. Can I ask what editor this is built on? I've been considering for another project…

Awesome to hear! Do you have a general timeframe? I'm going to be deciding between Azure Mobile Center and AWS Mobile Hub in the next couple months for a personal project.

I'm curious if CodePush[0] can be used along side (or integrated into) Mobile Center. That seems like a no-brainer if you are supporting React Native based apps. Also, I didn't see…

Very cool that their "Mobile Center" SDK has React Native support. [0] This looks very feature competitive with the "AWS Mobile Hub", even going beyond it with its CI app build int…

Well, brick is too harsh. I got mine up and running after redoing first-time setup routine. But most people seeing a blinking blue light are not going to think "oh, I'll just open …

"Experiencing Issues" is way understating this. I had two OnHub devices (different models) do this during business hours at two different places that ran on WiFi today. The first I…

Were those not acquisitions that withered as opposed to Dropbox new product ventures? To be honest, I read through that whole page and I really am not sure I understand what "Paper…

The killer feature I still keep Google Voice around for is transcription of voicemail sent to your inbox, even for direct calls to your cell (non GV #). I stopped giving out my GV …

It's a bookend to the recurring point that building a business requires a good understanding of markets and how companies fight for their place in them. The Economist covers a lot …

I appreciate the emacs bindings [0]! Between this and eslint+flycheck I will feel less envious of Visual Studio Code's editor environment (if only there were a way to leverage some…

This. Especially family. It's a fantastic place to raise kids, if a bit isolated.

Absolutely I think they still should be considered fundamental. By definition, these are the subjects that allow you to keep going when your abstractions leak[0]. To say a job "req…

Maybe from a tech perspective, but the SharePoint "brand" is still heavily used in O365 enterprise for the same file-syncing stuff that OneDrive does in consumer-services. Which br…

Yes! I swear I googled for something like this and came up empty multiple times. Thanks!
