For people more plugged in to quantum, I have a genuine question. Where did the term "supremacy regime" come from?

Coincidentally, we started using this same book a week ago with my son. It is FANTASTIC! We've struggled with other methods but this one is working amazingly well. The best part is that my son's motivation to work on reading went

Don’t dismiss this because you think you disagree with the politics. 12 rules is life changing.

There is lots of positive news out there. Reforestation, garbage patch cleanup, Great Barrier Reef improvement. I’ve started prioritizing finding good news. Normal media channels will just get you depressed.

Civility? Yes, this comment reeks of that. I’m interested in what good you think you are doing with this kind of vitriol? Do you think it furthers your side of the argument? I can assure you that it does not. “Deliberately destructive troll

I have to ask, why a site like Breitbart which has broken a lot of substantive stories would be banned? I’ve seen less credible left leaning sites on HN. I’m hoping there is a really good reason because right now I am concerned.

I can't believe they named a phone X[s]. How can they not see everyone calling it "iPhone excess?"

I actually agree. Showing an example of something that is hard and common in JavaScript but easy in F# would help justify using this.

I used to think CS was the exception to my college is worthless philosophy. Then I started dealing with recent graduates. The quality of the education coming out of supposedly decent schools is abysmal. I think modern college is proving its

The lottery is the best known/most common voluntary taxation. The early United States used the lottery to fund the government.

It takes some effort but you can trigger the zone. I put on my favorite programming song (looped). Turn on “Freedom” to block the web. Exit every unnecessary app. Then finally do meditative breathing. Usually within 10 minutes I’ll be in th

Does someone want to give a reason for down voting this comment? There isn’t anything controversial here. For myself, lack of genetics are enough reason not to use the language. My personal style relies a lot on them and I don’t see myself

We use Lambda for 100% of our APIs some of which get over 100,000 calls per day. The system is fantastic for micro services and web apps. One caveat, you must use a framework like Serverless or Zappa. Simply setting up API Gateway right is

They're self centered but it's about stuff that is relevant to me. All this talk about Google Assistant is useless to me as a developer. At least Apple talks about stuff I'm able to plug into.

The I/O keynote always bothers me. Apple and AWS have great Keynotes that get me excited to develop on their platforms. Google's always comes across as too self congratulating.

Actually, yes. At work we have a Nexus 6 testing device. It started off strong but a few months ago it started lagging badly on videos. It even struggles with gif length mp4s. The problem is notable because it is the only phone with this pr

I only buy manual transmission cars. The reason is twofold. First it is dramatically cheaper to fix a manual. The transmission also lasts longer. The second reason is that it is more fun! Any time I want I can drop a couple gears and kick o

Can you elaborate on what kind of apps are you developing and where you are getting good reuse? My apps are generally heavy on the UI and moderate data and I'm wondering where the sweet spot is.

I've been extremely disappointed in Xamarin. The main issue is that you don't really get code sharing. I would estimate that only 25% of the Xamarin project I manage is cross platform code. The rest is this bizarre merger of nativ

The stdin nonsense on Hacker Rank is what got me. I neither know, nor do I care how to process standard in in Swift. When a ten line program needs 70 lines of boilerplate you have a lousy system.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Since WatchOS spends most of its time syncing to other devices its a pretty natural choice. I suspect the main reason they did that was to avoid exposing the secure enclave directly to macOS. For all the

Seamless would not be the word I would use. I would instead argue that what Pokemon Go proved was that Google's Cloud is not of the same quality, at scale, that AWS is.

I completely disagree with this. The headphone jack is archaic and needed to go long ago. The fact that my headphones need a AAA battery AND have to be plugged into a device is insane. These same arguments have come with every port and inpu

I take a couple of issues with the author here. I don't personally worry much about breaking away from strict OOP. When a pattern like this develops it is usually because the data is too dynamic for a static property list. An obvious e

Ada has a lot of cool stuff going for it. I liked the type system well enough and a well written Ada program is very easy to read. My problem with it was I always had trouble with the stuff like while ... loop if ... then case ... is The nu

This kind of article is a nonsense puff piece. Giving an example of receiving good or bad care in a health system is of no value. I have had incredibly positive and negative experiences with US hospitals and doctors but my experience is sim

I'm glad that Microsoft is doing stuff like this. But, I can't imagine a lot of Linux users are going to want to use it. As a former Windows developer I always found Power Shell to be lacking in nearly everything I wanted to do on
