Rest assured this is not subjective. It is objectively disgusting.

Crystal performance is close to Go-lang. It's just very fast across the board. Consequently, just like Go-lang, it beats Ruby by an order of magnitude on pretty much any benchmark. Newcomers often assume Crystal must be sluggish like R

That's one of the aspects in which Crystal shines. It retains most of the flexibility and DSL capabilities, but the type- and nil-safety allow you to leverage them without nasty surprises at runtime. Not having to guess what a method o

Go is not a good comparison. Crystal is expressive, 500 lines of Go commonly translate to 50 lines of Crystal. The DX in Crystal is really closer to Ruby than to Go. It's essentially a very fast and type-safe version of Ruby.

The mic is pretty bad anyway. And to add insult to injury, your listening audio quality also gets degraded whenever it's on... So it's a lose-lose for both sides every time you use it. My main complaint is that OSX has no setting

Friends don't let friends buy Salesforce (or Oracle) has been common sense in engineering circles for at least a decade. It seems founders should adopt a similar stance: Friends don't let friends get bought by Salesforce. I wonder

I feel like you are both chasing red herrings. This is not about child porn nor about what AV software can or cannot do. It's about normalising mass surveillance and implementing populace control. They don't want another Snowden t

No, the situation is in fact the exact same. A door without a latch does not prevent an unauthorized person from trespassing. A camera without a cover does not prevent an unauthorized person from trespassing. Apples webcams are broken by de

Ok. So there is not only a LED, but a physical latch. I think Apple's building security architect should have a conversation with their camera security architect.

Out of curiosity... Do the doors at Apple HQ have locks? Or is there just a little LED next to them that lights up when they open?

If you want to try it, grab https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/ Activate the complex modification called "Change caps_lock to control if pressed with other keys, to escape if pressed alone". Now you have a capslo

> you'll see stuff pretty much just works The problem is the "pretty much" part. We all know what that means in practice. That's why OSX is popular.

Maybe there just isn't much interest in windows support? Crystal is a fantastic language for server-side programming where it pairs the performance of Golang with the expressiveness of Ruby. I imagine most Crystal users love it for exa

Oh, it can happen very quickly. Do you remember Skype? Everyone used to be on Skype. Who uses Skype anymore today?

It wasn't required a day ago. Slack can't seriously expect us to apply clumsy workarounds to their single most important feature (text-entry) that many of us use hundreds of times per day. In particular since the solution is as tr

This is a key detail that gets glossed over too much for my liking. No OS or Firmware update will fully fix Spectre. All applications that interpret untrusted code (such as Web browsers) also have to be patched. https://gist.gi

Smarter robots have existed for a long time (e.g. the Neato or the high-end Roomba model). They create a map of your place and then clean it systematically instead of randomly like the cheaper Roombas. This is obviously much faster, but als

They can't take into account prior health conditions or biomarkers, including novel biomarkers measured on wearables. Yet.

Many other dependency/supervisor driven init systems exist (upstart, minit, daemontools, etc.). Upstart even was the Ubuntu default for a while. One of them should be adopted and fleshed out before systemd causes even more damage.

Why is this is getting downvoted? systemd has a horrible security track record and should not be allowed on any server that is connected to the internet. The last remote-root exploit from 2 months ago: https://www.theregister.c

They should just shut it down. It's hard to think of a domain name with a worse reputation in tech circles.

Great work! I never understood why this isn't the default. Hopefully this will finally gain traction in mainline Chrome. But I'm not holding my breath...

Not surprising. Your lifetime value for Google multiplies when they can track your location. They learn where you live/work, how you commute, who you hang out with, whether and where you travel, when you get sick, etc. Much of it can b

There is indeed only a single legitimate use-case: Censorship resilient storage. For everything else the available Cloud storage options are cheaper, faster, easier and more reliable.

This is probably a money laundry/tax evasion operation. I don't believe these "big name Silicon Valley investors" just flush such amounts of money down a toilet without a hidden agenda.
