Agree completely. You may want to checkout Airmail. Nice looking client with all of the GMail keyboard shortcuts enabled. Plays relatively nicely with Exchange too.

They expect delivery 'by 2030'. I wonder if satellites and newer weapons wouldn't be able to intercept its flight path by then. You probably wouldn't have to match its speed to bring it down, just throw up a cloud of jun

I had the same thought. Team i was on at the time made a concerted effort to use wave, and we were just starting to be pretty productive on it when google axed it. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Wave

If you're on a server that doesn't have an X environment set up for wireshark, you can use tcpdump to spit to a file: -w Write the raw packets to file rather than parsing and printing them out. They can later be printed

TLDR; Internal workflows, not customer facing. Enterprise dropbox. The article title is misleading. They are actually talking about the internal workflow. Raw assets, art assets, and such, can be pretty large. When you have a studio in Coun

One thought on this is that this technology, or something related, would be beneficial to Oculus. Carmack already had a comment on it: G-Sync won't work on any of the display panels Oculus is considering right now, but it will prob

Switched to Dvorak after plateau-ing in typing speed and experiencing pain in my hands and wrist. Helped immediately, but what also hleped almost as much was: - Aliases for frequent shell commands - Remapping 'caps lock' to &#x27

From the article: The biggest change is an inline retain count, which eliminates the need to perform a costly hash table lookup for retain and release operations in the common case. Since those operations are so common in most Objective

I love Dark Souls, and constantly recommend it to friends. And if they say 'Yeah, I picked that up on Steam!' I get really sad. It feels like a game that is pretty exquisitely tuned, and that tuning is towards playing on a console

'Dark Souls' and 'Demon Souls' do this extremely well I feel. Team Ico games come close too.

It's amazing how widely people vary on light. It's observable across major cultures, or even different families. A Japanese IKEA I went through recently had a display which would allow you to switch between 'Japanese' style lighting' and 'W

Elon musk is claiming that the article is misleading: NYTimes article about Tesla range in cold is fake. Vehicle logs tell true story that he didn't actually charge to max & took a long detour. source: https://twitter.com/elonm

It feels like you're taking a 3D interaction and smashing it back down into 2D. While neat, it's unlikely to catch on. What would be amazing is using this to interact with a 3D display system. Not the 3D in a box that you get with TV's, but

Search engines: - Respect robots.txt (as mentioned elsewhere) which will often provide a limited subset of all data available - Give something in return (potential traffic) for the data they reap. I fully agree that scraping is great, and d

Totally agree, scraping is great. I can see site operators being against the practice though, as it (usually): - generates no ad revenue - often enables someone else to use data that you struggled to put together, allowing others to prof

Being able to mimic the Sun's 'perfectly white light' is brilliant. Many people find CFL's really annoying. Almost as cool though is the fact that it can easily be built in any shape desired, as it sounds like you run a change through a sur

Interesting answer by the Anonymous User: I regularly worked with Elon while a part of his electric car company - Tesla. At first, I hesitated to write a response, but as I thought about what I'd say, it was overwhelmingly positive. So h
