Agree completely. You may want to checkout Airmail. Nice looking client with all of the GMail keyboard shortcuts enabled. Plays relatively nicely with Exchange too.

They expect delivery 'by 2030'. I wonder if satellites and newer weapons wouldn't be able to intercept its flight path by then. You probably wouldn't have to match its speed to bri…

I had the same thought. Team i was on at the time made a concerted effort to use wave, and we were just starting to be pretty productive on it when google axed it. - http://en.wiki…

If you're on a server that doesn't have an X environment set up for wireshark, you can use tcpdump to spit to a file: -w Write the raw packets to file rather than parsing and print…

TLDR; Internal workflows, not customer facing. Enterprise dropbox. The article title is misleading. They are actually talking about the internal workflow. Raw assets, art assets, a…

One thought on this is that this technology, or something related, would be beneficial to Oculus. Carmack already had a comment on it: G-Sync won't work on any of the display panel…

Switched to Dvorak after plateau-ing in typing speed and experiencing pain in my hands and wrist. Helped immediately, but what also hleped almost as much was: - Aliases for frequen…

If you don't care about comments, it's quick and easy to host it on S3.

Elon musk is claiming that the article is misleading: NYTimes article about Tesla range in cold is fake. Vehicle logs tell true story that he didn't actually charge to max & took a…

It feels like you're taking a 3D interaction and smashing it back down into 2D. While neat, it's unlikely to catch on. What would be amazing is using this to interact with a 3D dis…

What version of chrome are you using? Google Chrome – WebGL has been enabled on all platforms that have a capable graphics card with updated drivers since version 9.[14] Google Chr…

Search engines: - Respect robots.txt (as mentioned elsewhere) which will often provide a limited subset of all data available - Give something in return (potential traffic) for the…
