I thought this was a well written article and I loved the graphics (especially the one about 30 minute meetings actually taking 68 minutes). However, it's worth noting that this co…

Bill Gates never said "640k ought to be enough for anybody." https://www.computerworld.com/article/2534312/operating-syst...

About time!

"People are born with an innate calling to drug dealing," What the hell is this author talking about? While the he's a pretty accomplished individual, he lost me with his shitty an…

Isn't this basically Tile? https://www.thetileapp.com/

His article takes aim at these high-end ovens as well, and makes several proposals to make them even better.

I beg to differ. A better oven means tastier food at home, which pays dividends every single day of your life.

We're all reading these articles because we're excited about the future. In that context, the issues you've raised don't seem to be that big. Cost for the bill of materials will dr…

Going from a simple millionaire to creating a company like Microsoft takes a lot of hard work to pull off. But if you want to run with your line of reasoning then no one in the US …

I hate what I know about Intellectual Ventures. But I love Nathan's cook book ( http://modernistcuisine.com/ ) . I may not like what he does with IV, but it's hard to deny the dude…

@augustl: We manage connections with curl and requests(python). We haven't seen any bottlenecks here yet, so we haven't thought to revisit it. We do, however, use ZeroMQ for other …

HTTP works fine for me. Seems like a nice article though.

Why would the average user want to see that warning before every movie? It's a waste of time for most people. If one is such a nitpicker, Netflix isn't a good fit. Pay for the BluR…

"And at the same time, we can de-emphasize the branch switcher since it’s so rarely used." WRONG. This is why designers shouldn't be "redesigning" stuff they don't use. Branching a…

Sure. But I've seen these design elements all over the web before. Infininum is just as guilty as Kintek when it comes to copying.

Live in downtown Seattle here. Although I enjoyed not paying for bus rides while it was free, I'm much happier with the service now that payment is required. As a side note, the wa…

My team's inherited code (legacy code) where not all lines are trimmed to 80 or even 120 chars. Long file names or deeply nested directories aren't something I run into currently, …

It looks like the code viewing area was narrowed. If the redesign was meant to put more focus on content, this decision is perplexing. I wish they'd make a responsive design that w…

I don't think was that easy to do all this virtualization stuff back in 2003. And even if it was, why would he invest resources to do this when the artists were willing to pay him?…

What landed them in Federal Court was bundling a browser (the most advanced at the time) with their OS for free. Over a decade later, we all know that a consumer OS that ships with…

Is this the only news outlet with this story? How credible is this publication? Before I get worked up about this story, I'd like to know it's not bullshit.
