Be warned of the time sink that is trying to get mods running on desktop Minecraft. Each version update breaks compatibility and your kids have a hard time understanding why they can’t use that cool mod their friend told them about at schoo

With high dimensionality data (think many columns), plotting the first two eigenvectors provides a fantastic clustering of the rows. In genetics for example, this plot may separate samples with different ethnicities (see PCA on SNPs).

But it does prevent a business trying to run off of free supercharger power from just buying up used Teslas...

They called him on this potentially happening too during the pitch. I hope they bought all the Teslas they need!

I was thinking that too, then I realized he was wrapping the code in `DB.transaction` blocks, which rollback on any type of exception, so that all those staged/checkpoint entries only persistent if the block cleanly executes. Pretty ne

Really, the iPhone 7 was just the 6SS. The 'S' revision was spec and camera bumps, but no major case changes and the 7 made no case differences over the 6S. But probably a 6SS or whatever wouldn't have sold as well, so they s

There is definitely a changing Rust definition of good code hygiene in terms of how to write code in the most "Rustic" way, but in terms of code formatting, there is already rustfmt[0] [0] https://github.com/rust-l

My first thought is are they adding enough value to take a 30% cut off a digital subscription service? But then I flipped the question to whether as a consumer, I would be more likely to be a digital subscription with a "Subscribe with

This is really cool! I have been using Exponent (Expo) on a side project for 5 months and love it. Can I ask what editor this is built on? I've been considering for another project having a "live editor" for writing extension

Awesome to hear! Do you have a general timeframe? I'm going to be deciding between Azure Mobile Center and AWS Mobile Hub in the next couple months for a personal project.

by hackcrafter 10y ago
I'm curious if CodePush[0] can be used along side (or integrated into) Mobile Center. That seems like a no-brainer if you are supporting React Native based apps. Also, I didn't see any support for platform native Notification APIs

Very cool that their "Mobile Center" SDK has React Native support. [0] This looks very feature competitive with the "AWS Mobile Hub", even going beyond it with its CI app build integration with GitHub and device simulato

Well, brick is too harsh. I got mine up and running after redoing first-time setup routine. But most people seeing a blinking blue light are not going to think "oh, I'll just open the WiFi app and a new network in setup mode...&qu

"Experiencing Issues" is way understating this. I had two OnHub devices (different models) do this during business hours at two different places that ran on WiFi today. The first I took as a complete fluke, but the second made me

The killer feature I still keep Google Voice around for is transcription of voicemail sent to your inbox, even for direct calls to your cell (non GV #). I stopped giving out my GV number, but you can set up your Verizon cell phone to use Go

It's a bookend to the recurring point that building a business requires a good understanding of markets and how companies fight for their place in them. The Economist covers a lot of macro-economic news and frames the world in terms of

Absolutely I think they still should be considered fundamental. By definition, these are the subjects that allow you to keep going when your abstractions leak[0]. To say a job "requires" them is pedantic, but what's the point

Maybe from a tech perspective, but the SharePoint "brand" is still heavily used in O365 enterprise for the same file-syncing stuff that OneDrive does in consumer-services. Which brings up another O365 nit, MS has these direct cons

I was confused when writing a NodeJs script last night which ES* features were supported in the node runtime I had installed (6.9.x). This blog posts mentioned Node already fully supports ES6. Is there a table anywhere that lists ES6/E

by hackcrafter 10y ago
Yea, I agree. I'm also amazed at how much suckage people are willing to put up with in O365, but still consider it a better choice than Google Docs for the company. Sharepoint is complete crap, and the off Sharepoint file syncer client

The model of natively cloud-hosted documents was Google's lead to loose, and I think they are losing it. O365 took the idea and ran. Yes, their web-based UI isn't as rich, but it has some decent collaboration, really good mobile a

I understand why CentOS/RHEL is preferred by some server admins to Ubuntu (longer support cycles, hardware drivers etc), but I never got why individual devs run CentOS versus Ubuntu on their own machines. Every time I have tried to get
