You're not really supposed to power cycle smart home devices. I would suggest just getting a smart switch.

Re:Why I use old hardware on Wednesday January 23, 2019 @11:15AM (#18979507)
Bigger, better monitors are important accessories for the productive developer. Integrated graphics can't power those monitors. Most laptops sport only integrated graphics. Therefore most laptops are insufficient for the productive developer nowadays. There are a few scenarios where the developer's hardware should certainly be better than the user's, and screen space is one of them. Old hardware is not an excuse to stick to 1080p. Every developer should have moved to the much more spacious 1440p or 4K by now.

Are you serious? The "alien" here is just a metaphor to convey a basic concept. It couldn't even be used as an authority if we wanted it to be-- it's completely made up!

As far as I can tell, you've described livestreaming. Streaming sites seem to do just fine without autoplay.

Do you think that the majority of users feel the same way? I don't.

There are many easy ways to rephrase OP's comment into one that isn't so direct and denigrating. The only thing "apparent" here is that OP has trouble with empathy.
Re:Google C++ Style Guide Is No Good on Wednesday November 28, 2018 @04:47PM (#18555987)
I can't believe we still have developers who are completely against defensive language design/style. Foot guns are real and deadly. The lack of a restrictive style guide in C++ is how you end up with one of these projects: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18554272
Re:Microsoft open sources parts of Minecraft: Java Edition on Saturday October 06, 2018 @10:19PM (#18158525)
Why did they choose to implement various functional programming concepts from scratch? Were there really no suitable preexisting implementations at the time?
Or you can take some and leave some via regulation.

Does anyone know what visualization tool the author used to create the AWS architecture diagram? It looks really cool.

Re:Docker is Dead on Saturday December 30, 2017 @02:34PM (#16037009)
The nature of clickbait titles is that they instill a misleadingly false, exaggerated, or ambiguous narrative that is not matched by the content. This title is ambiguous, and has lead many of us on with the more enticing (controversial) narrative that containerization is dead. It doesn't matter what is in the content.
