Rest assured this is not subjective. It is objectively disgusting.

Crystal performance is close to Go-lang. It's just very fast across the board. Consequently, just like Go-lang, it beats Ruby by an order of magnitude on pretty much any benchmark.…

That's one of the aspects in which Crystal shines. It retains most of the flexibility and DSL capabilities, but the type- and nil-safety allow you to leverage them without nasty su…

Go is not a good comparison. Crystal is expressive, 500 lines of Go commonly translate to 50 lines of Crystal. The DX in Crystal is really closer to Ruby than to Go. It's essential…

The mic is pretty bad anyway. And to add insult to injury, your listening audio quality also gets degraded whenever it's on... So it's a lose-lose for both sides every time you use…

Friends don't let friends buy Salesforce (or Oracle) has been common sense in engineering circles for at least a decade. It seems founders should adopt a similar stance: Friends do…

I feel like you are both chasing red herrings. This is not about child porn nor about what AV software can or cannot do. It's about normalising mass surveillance and implementing p…

But then how would you know it's really off!

No, the situation is in fact the exact same. A door without a latch does not prevent an unauthorized person from trespassing. A camera without a cover does not prevent an unauthori…

Ok. So there is not only a LED, but a physical latch. I think Apple's building security architect should have a conversation with their camera security architect.

Out of curiosity... Do the doors at Apple HQ have locks? Or is there just a little LED next to them that lights up when they open?

If you want to try it, grab https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/ Activate the complex modification called "Change caps_lock to control if pressed with other keys, to escape if pres…

> you'll see stuff pretty much just works The problem is the "pretty much" part. We all know what that means in practice. That's why OSX is popular.

Maybe there just isn't much interest in windows support? Crystal is a fantastic language for server-side programming where it pairs the performance of Golang with the expressivenes…

Oh, it can happen very quickly. Do you remember Skype? Everyone used to be on Skype. Who uses Skype anymore today?

It wasn't required a day ago. Slack can't seriously expect us to apply clumsy workarounds to their single most important feature (text-entry) that many of us use hundreds of times …

Or Aeon. Or Phoneum. Or Telcoin. Or Status.im. Or a dozen other coins with near identical goals.

> potential of early Amazon Except this is not "early Amazon". This is someone promising to build a mini-Amazon on AWS.

> SQL database isn't going to be significantly easier to manage. A SQL database doesn't run out of memory and crash when you add documents to it "too fast". ElasticSearch does.

This is a key detail that gets glossed over too much for my liking. No OS or Firmware update will fully fix Spectre. All applications that interpret untrusted code (such as Web bro…

Smarter robots have existed for a long time (e.g. the Neato or the high-end Roomba model). They create a map of your place and then clean it systematically instead of randomly like…

They can't take into account prior health conditions or biomarkers, including novel biomarkers measured on wearables. Yet.

Many other dependency/supervisor driven init systems exist (upstart, minit, daemontools, etc.). Upstart even was the Ubuntu default for a while. One of them should be adopted and f…
