Both criticisms are pointless - 1. Borg precedes K8s and likely is tightly coupled with Google's backend infra - that's to say, Borg gets architected around Google's existing workflow and new backend development is written ar

I'm sure there's a fair amount of business logic between what's in the database and what's delivered to the presentation layer. Pulling from a database means that the new company has to reverse engineer Hipchat's AP

Just a quick nitpick, I would like to see the links expand to their entire <p> parent elements, so the entire box is a clickable link, not just the text inside.

My most hated at the moment? Those ads that hijack page scrolling and don't let go until you've scrolled the ad past. Wouldn't be a huge problem if it didn't totally fuck up my browser's scrolling functionality and

I remember reading about this a few years ago, and observed network activity using Facebook. They certainly did capture what you type but fail to post. I would put serious money on them mining that data, too, since it can reveal someone&#x2

We certainly do have to keep developing totally new antibiotics. Problem is many of the new antibiotics that we have are tweaks on existing antibiotics. We're in such a rush to have something useable that side effect profiles get nasti

The depression doesn't help, but this sounds more like stress. Don't know how much it will help, as I don't suffer from depressin, but occasionally I'll get myself into a rut like that, and I found a few things that help

The point about WCHAR size reminded me of how little browser security mattered back then. Kinda interesting to think about how the internet was so fresh that there wasn't such a focus on a secure application. I wonder how many buffer o

From what I've read in the past, it doesn't cover your thumbprint. [1] Thumbprints are physical, so they don't get the same protections. It's kind of like having a physical key to a physical lock. It's not self-incr

There is a click to play option for plugins in Chrome, and I'm pretty sure it exists for Firefox in some manner (config or extension), too. http://www.howtogeek.com/188059/how-to-enable-click-to-play-...

If you go look at all the Chinese Android consoles, you'll see they did the remote first, down to the integrated mic for voice search. There are even a few of them that have a hockey-puck appearance.
