For people more plugged in to quantum, I have a genuine question. Where did the term "supremacy regime" come from?

Coincidentally, we started using this same book a week ago with my son. It is FANTASTIC! We've struggled with other methods but this one is working amazingly well. The best part is…

Don’t dismiss this because you think you disagree with the politics. 12 rules is life changing.

There is lots of positive news out there. Reforestation, garbage patch cleanup, Great Barrier Reef improvement. I’ve started prioritizing finding good news. Normal media channels w…

Civility? Yes, this comment reeks of that. I’m interested in what good you think you are doing with this kind of vitriol? Do you think it furthers your side of the argument? I can …

I have to ask, why a site like Breitbart which has broken a lot of substantive stories would be banned? I’ve seen less credible left leaning sites on HN. I’m hoping there is a real…

I can't believe they named a phone X[s]. How can they not see everyone calling it "iPhone excess?"

I don’t know 10 minutes off a 4 hour marathon is pretty huge.

1: 12 Rules for life, Jordan Peterson Ignore the controversy, this book will change your life for the better. Get the audio version Peterson narrates and it adds an extra dimension…

I actually agree. Showing an example of something that is hard and common in JavaScript but easy in F# would help justify using this.

I used to think CS was the exception to my college is worthless philosophy. Then I started dealing with recent graduates. The quality of the education coming out of supposedly dece…

The lottery is the best known/most common voluntary taxation. The early United States used the lottery to fund the government.

It takes some effort but you can trigger the zone. I put on my favorite programming song (looped). Turn on “Freedom” to block the web. Exit every unnecessary app. Then finally do m…

Does someone want to give a reason for down voting this comment? There isn’t anything controversial here. For myself, lack of genetics are enough reason not to use the language. My…

We use Lambda for 100% of our APIs some of which get over 100,000 calls per day. The system is fantastic for micro services and web apps. One caveat, you must use a framework like …

They're self centered but it's about stuff that is relevant to me. All this talk about Google Assistant is useless to me as a developer. At least Apple talks about stuff I'm able t…

The I/O keynote always bothers me. Apple and AWS have great Keynotes that get me excited to develop on their platforms. Google's always comes across as too self congratulating.

Giphys and rewarded video ads. We are a gaming company so you can see where our priorities lie!

Actually, yes. At work we have a Nexus 6 testing device. It started off strong but a few months ago it started lagging badly on videos. It even struggles with gif length mp4s. The …

I only buy manual transmission cars. The reason is twofold. First it is dramatically cheaper to fix a manual. The transmission also lasts longer. The second reason is that it is mo…

Can you elaborate on what kind of apps are you developing and where you are getting good reuse? My apps are generally heavy on the UI and moderate data and I'm wondering where the …

I've been extremely disappointed in Xamarin. The main issue is that you don't really get code sharing. I would estimate that only 25% of the Xamarin project I manage is cross platf…

The stdin nonsense on Hacker Rank is what got me. I neither know, nor do I care how to process standard in in Swift. When a ten line program needs 70 lines of boilerplate you have …

That actually makes a lot of sense. Since WatchOS spends most of its time syncing to other devices its a pretty natural choice. I suspect the main reason they did that was to avoid…
