Re:Apple iPad Gets Split-Screen Multitasking in iOS 9 on Monday June 08, 2015 @10:30PM (#9683757)
Why is this comment downvoted? Flux is the thing that I misses the most on my iPad. Moving from my Mac to my iPad at night is a painful experience due to the sudden influx of blue lights.
Thanks!
Just curious, what is the technology used to control browsers programmatically to carry out such tests?
That's mostly likely true. Assuming you drive 12k miles per year and gas costs $4 per gallon for your 15 mpg premium european sports car. The price for gas over 10 years is: (12,000 / 15) * $4 * 10yrs = $32,000.
Re:Google’s Cloud Loses Following Among CIOs, Survey Finds on Wednesday January 07, 2015 @03:15PM (#8852992)
It wasn't easy to mitigate: re-writes were needed because of the private apis. We ended up doing a lot of optimization to prevent a pet project from costing us too much money, which before the price increase stayed well under the charging threshold. The pricing incident was the only thing on my mind about Google's cloud because we left Google since then. I'm sure things are different now, but then I got too many other things to do before taking a serious look at ditching aws for google.

Yes that was 2011 but it scared the hell out of me. Since then all my company's project are hosted on Heroku and other Amazon technologies (Simpledb, Dynamo etc.). If I had to have a vendor lock in in exchange of faster development process, I'd prefer to get locked in with Amazon other than Google after that GAE pricing incident.

It will for the second and third generation.

Any one has any experience using an alternative keyboard layout in a qwerty world? How does it fit?
Maybe they were all blackmailed by the same attacker?

posthaven?
I'm using Namecheap and GoDaddy. Both works functional wise. So given the reputation Namecheap has and GoDaddy has not, I will go with Namecheap for the future.
Re:Volvo Bets Its Future on Small, Turbocharged Engines on Monday October 20, 2014 @05:47PM (#8484725)
But Volvo has a third turbo that powers the other two turbos. The mustang's turbo is probably a conventional turbo on a 4 cylinder.
Re:“Complete Acquiesence”: How the Pontiac Aztek Happened on Monday October 13, 2014 @03:27PM (#8450131)
Honest question: aside from the outside looks, what's so bad about this vehicle? (I started driving in the year 2006 so Aztek has been off market for sometime.)

As funny as it sounds, this is sadly my experience sometimes.

Please make some examples when you apply it. I'm eager to hear the applications as the other commenter!
Re:The Horrifying Apple Super Bowl Ad That Time Forgot, 1985 on Saturday February 01, 2014 @02:23AM (#7161127)

Re:OS X Mavericks kernel_task eating 100% CPU on Saturday January 18, 2014 @06:56PM (#7082805)
I think he refers to the server VPN support from Mavericks server. It is broken for like half a year at least before Apple fixed it.
Cancer does decrease with age. I read it somewhere that it is some professor's pet theory but they do have some evidence.
Yeah sounds like everything they do is lowered the price.
How do they suffer by reading reddit comments? Just curious.
Re:Confusing UI in iOS7 on Tuesday September 24, 2013 @01:22PM (#6439300)
Sounds exactly like the problems for WP: can't figure out which is tappable just by looking at it. Maybe that's one of the inevitable pitfalls of flat design?
Thanks buddy! Will give them a try.
Re:Ask HN: Just got sued by patent troll – what should I do? on Wednesday August 28, 2013 @05:37PM (#6292863)
Thanks. We are contacting a lawyer now. Hopefully not gonna be very expensive for a $100/mo hobby app.
Re:Ask HN: Just got sued by patent troll – what should I do? on Wednesday August 28, 2013 @05:36PM (#6292853)
Is this remotely possible? Just interested.
Re:Ask HN: Just got sued by patent troll – what should I do? on Wednesday August 28, 2013 @03:54PM (#6292231)
Thanks. Funny that we are not even remotely successful with the said app. Monthly sales of $150 range and it is strictly a hobby app since maintenance costs around $10/mo.
