I wish I could just buy this. I'm not motivated enough to make it and I'd be disappointed with the quality of a home made version.

That's a pretty stupid claim.

iPhone X does this by default and only shows the message contents once Face ID verifies you.

Molyneux was/is such a massive bullshit artist, that he would even make promises in front of crowds that the game devs had never even heard before. He just let his imagination and mouth run wild.

Murray deserves more respect than Molyneux. Where Molyneux was off to the next shiny idea after underwhelming is fans once again, Murray is still working hard on getting NMS to where they promised it would be at launch. Atlas Rises patch brought a lot of much needed content and I'm really looking forward to their latest anounced update.

Peter's problem was that he didn't just release the game without all the promised features, he wouldn't even hang around to fix the bugs.

Exactly. Until we pay rent, wages & stock with Bitcoin, it's essentially just digital gold bullion.

You'd be an idiot to pay for any service with Bitcoin. A million dollar pizza makes for a great news story, but it would suck knowing that you effectively let go of millions of dollars just to buy a pizza.

Bitcoin holders are disincentivized from spending it.

Installing Linux is takes no more time is in anyway more complicated than installing Windows. Even installing Ubuntu on my laptop was a simple affair (including having the wifi work right away, in the installer).

What you've said may have been true several years ago, but it isn't anymore.

Long time BackBlaze user & fan here. Currently backing up three computers. Love your service.

However, for my main dev computer, I would totally pay another $5USD to replicate it to another location. I don't think that needs to complicate the pricing that much. You're essentially just paying for another backup, except it's the same computer in a different location.

Another question, any plans for coming to Linux?

You don't have to move outlets, just combine them.

I don't think you understand what the author saying. The author is saying that the new keyboards are terrible, and when he realised why he thinks they're terrible he went out and bought a mech keyboard.

He's sad that Apple are choosing this new keyboard technology for the MBP range, and from what I gather, he won't be purchasing a new Macbook Pro.

Such an awesome idea, mech keyboard in a laptop. Shame about the price, the weight & the trackpad position.

He's not. The author is comparing the new MBP keyboard to the old one. The fact that he finds these keyboards so terrible meant that he realised how much he'd love a mechanical keyboard.

It also means that he won't be buying a new Macbook Pro.

Yeah, but the fact that the new Macbook Pros use the same terrible keyboard as the Macbook, means that this guy is not going to buy one for his next computer.

> Keyboard enthusiasts should be singing Apple's praises right now.

Are you serious? These keyboards are TERRIBLE. What exactly have they put on the agenda? How to replace pretty good laptop keyboards with crappy ones?

Huge misfire by Apple. Jony Ive will run that company into the ground in a nice, thin, aluminium coffin.

Actually, I'd say Seinfeld is the last of that generation. He has his "greatest hits" that he trots out at every opportunity.

Hopefully the sentence would be: "You're driving it, wrong."

Blocking credit card transactions would be enough of a deterrent.

Webpack config files are not JSON. They are full JavaScript.

I would also think that BoltDB would be better than SQLite

Agreed. I really wanted to buy a Pebble, but that bezel is just atrocious. Really really bad. Especially the new round Pebble.

I truly can't understand what they're thinking. By this point there should be minimal bezel.

It is literally the only thing that turned me off buying one.

I've always kinda hated "Freakonomics" - albeit irrationally. It just never felt like the author truly understood the difference between correlation & causation.

Well the truth is you can build React apps any way you like. React doesn't dictate anything beyond the rendering. Redux, with Redux-Immutable & Immutable.js is my current "stack" (hate that term) - but when I first got started I built a component library with barely any logic behind it. That's when I realised just how great React is.

It's made building my web apps front end fun again and bring in big changes is so much quicker than old school dom manipulation.

Took me a long time to become a believer, intuitively I rallied against frameworks, but React is amazing.

I accomplish this in Redux with a simple:

    componentDidMount() {
        item = store.getState().get('item')  // Get function from Immutable.js
        this.unsubscribe = store.subscribe(() => {
            let nowItem = store.getState().get('item');
            if (item !== nowItem) {
                this.forceUpdate();
                item = nowItem;
            }
        });
    }

Someone may have a better solution, but I think this works fine for my needs. The internet is full of people dissuading redux users from subscribing to actions.

If you don't want your employer to see it, do it on your phone. Everyone should realise that by now.

I would have agreed with you 5+ years ago. But Dell, after privatization, has really lifted its game. Compared to HP, Lenovo & UCS are better quality & their customer support is leaps & bounds ahead.

> Your blurb seems to contradict it self. It claims we need stimulus then it says the West & Japan tried this already and it hasn't worked.

That is not what his comment says. It says we're not doing the stimulus needed.

Is this because of hot swaps? I would be pretty disappointed by a 50% usable for RAID6. But I don't include the hotswap(s) in this equation.

Raid... controller ?

Your servers are virtualised with redundant hardware (if they're not IaaS in the first place). There's no "rebuilding" of the server. Have you ever actually managed a production environment in the last 10 years? We're not even talking about a lot of money here.

A raid controller dying should either a) not bring down production or b) not be your problem anyway.

PPTP is not secure. You need to open another, more secure, tunnel within your PPTP session.

I too use Opera Mobile for its text reflow feature. A feature sorely lacking in (AFAIK) every single other mobile browser.

I subscribed to this from the early days, but in the end I cancelled my account. I just didn't get enough value out of it to justify paying a monthly fee. But I probably didn't truly understand what this service is for. Can you please explain it to me ELI5?
