DigitalOcean still beats Linode on price as half the time I don't need a 2GB server but I do want to keep servers separate (multiple 512s at $5 is better for me than 1 2GB).

He wrote the code to show you that you don't need to import IOException you can use a catch all to avoid a throws statement in the method header. This is bad code as he said.

Depending on the website 13 requests is kind of small, 20-30 requests for a regular page probably more likely with maybe 3 or 4 that can be cached on an unoptimized site and the rest being image assets for that particular page and so on. So

Beats is built to grow off of the beats brand at least I believe it is. They also have tons of money for advertising so they had a superbowl ad and many TV ads so I think maybe a large amount of people that don't know what spotify or r

I think people should lose their money and learn why it is a bad idea to keep your bitcoins in something pretending to be a bank, an exchange, and other things all in one.

That is disappointing I understand that work deserves money but I wanted a viable competitor to the big 2. Emacs has gotten better because of XEmacs, vim may get better because of newvim, but that won't be possible here unless you want

Well I mean what's wrong with adding a file to /etc/paths.d which is picked up by the default shells using /usr/libexec/path_helper It works for Mactex without fucking with the system folders.

I don't know maybe the intel iris (I think 5100) is a substantial improvement, the only review I found on anandtech was for 2012 version which had the hd4000. Or maybe the performance increase from haswell has helped. Either that or it

I'd say apply now before it is to late (if you haven't already), attempt to get a job during the summer for what you think you can ($60,000-80,000 may be iffy unless you have access to more progressive companies) and if you can&#x

I have a RMBP13" from late 2013 and it depends on what you are going to do. My VMware Fusion linux image has the option to use full retina resolution which doesn't work well yet because linux isn't really up to par on dpi sca

What trouble? I haven't had any issues so far, maybe if you want to play games at that resolution it would be a problem.

Just so you know after introductory prices a few years ago it was cheaper to have the "basic" cable + internet than just internet from comcast. It may have changed since I don't live in their service area anymore.

Probably because it isn't an official port, there is no reason to learn .NET if you don't develop exclusively for Microsoft. If you're developing for multiple platforms chances are you already use some other toolkit with plat

Did I miss where it says what size Linode and DO server is being compared, and the price of each? I'm guessing the smallest DO may have more competition for disk IO than the smallest Linode or the DO box could have had aggressive neigh

You need the water for cooling in a power plant, this is why many are built near rivers or lakes, and if they aren't they will have large manmade ponds or lakes from which to gather and dump water. http://www.world-nuclear.o

If you like a DE use the remix they are pretty vanilla (ubuntu gnome, lubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu) you can make them more vanilla if you forgo installing a desktop cd and just install the DE without the *-desktop package from a minimal or alt

You can see it as an alternative to Matlab/R (sorta)/numpy not C. People only ever used C when speed was crucial and depending on what you were comfortable in or what you had learned maybe Fortran for speed instead of C. Julia is

Well submission and comment karma are the same karma on HN so it's hard to tell them apart the only other factor you can look at that might be reasonable or a popularity contest is the average as I believe that only pertains to comment

Idk about the pricing but can you use all that bandwidth in a reasonable time period? Can DO's pipes handle a sustained load of whatever a 16core 48gb ram machine can handle without their pipe being the bottleneck? If not maybe that is

It is pretty standard for elementwise operations to use . Matlab you have .* ./ .^ and probably more and for good reason. I don't really see it as being awkward it actually very useful when needed, can be confusing if you're

I think they only offer such a large amount free because they don't allow you to store large files and that is what they want you to pay for. Edit: you can see here maximum file size is 250mb without paying https://www.box.c

They are much easier and faster but I don't find myself entering numbers often enough to be an issue. I can see if you are a worker who enters accounting information all day or have data entry with your job for extended periods of time

HN is not a charity, it is a marketing platform for YC with some community aspects. There is a very strong bias to everything YC. The HN community has also outgrown the software HN was built on you can see this in threads like: https:&#x2F

The only ones I think you can bet on these days are the Google Play edition phones or even more so the Nexus line. I've been using android for a while now but with the need for everyone to have their own UI on android and the lack of c

Looks like they hire on contract basis first so maybe you should try and apply to see if it is a good fit: http://www.poststat.us/automattic-trial-data-employee-retent...
