I should follow your advice. I'm too addicted to Reddit.

You can remove all those live tiles from the start menu. Cortana and those Office installers can be disabled easily. With a simple registry hack you can even remove OneDrive from the file explorer. It…

I come from 10 years using macs and gave a shot a Windows 10 for a couple of weeks. Windows 10 comes with Windows Defender which is more than enough if you are one of those rare persons with common se…

TypeScript is a lot better than pure ES6 since it has modifiers, accessors, abstract classes, interfaces, etc. http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/classes.html …

I read somewhere that ARM was growing fast because it hadn't been as thoroughly developed as x86 in the past. So right now ARM manufacturers were catching the lowest hanging fruit, so to speak. I…

Apparently this fix is only available for Sierra 10.12.2 A nice big finger from Apple to those of us that won't upgrade.

I've switched to a low carb / high protein / high fat diet and it's great. I'm eating lots of food and losing weight along the way. Each Saturday is cheat day and I eat anythi…

> Why on earth would I restrict myself to a stationary computer when I can have a portable one that I can take everywhere I want with no hassle? A couple of reasons come to mind. 1) Price and value…

The 2011 was worse since it happened after the warranty expired. At least now people can still get a refund or use Apple Care.

Same here. I live in Mexico and the pricing situation is just ridiculous. We are paying 20-25% more than in the US. Not only for buying the products themselves, but also for the repairs which are way …

OrientDB has a similar feature called "live query". Meteor also has something called "reactive data sources" although Meteor is not really a DB.

> which you shouldn't Why not? Isn't the brain a biological machine?

I have not used Arango in production although I evaluated it and exchanged a few emails with Claudius. I see a number of reasons why ArangoDB might be more interesting than Rethink: 1) Arango is a mul…

Because of Apple's anorexia, that's why. The 10-15% increase in battery consumption could have been easily solved by having a 10-15% bigger battery.

> The Mac Pro has been the current model for at least two years It was released in October 2013, so more than 3 years.

Blink doesn't get any upstream changes AFAIK. In fact it's moving much faster than WebKit and got custom elements back in 2014 with version 33. http://caniuse.com/#search=cus…

Apple has denied merging macOS and iOS, but IMO a universal OS that works on all your devices is inevitable. Mobile devices are now powerful enough that they could connect to a screen and display a de…

Other than having public direct contact with individuals and brands I never saw the point of twitter. I thought I was in the minority a couple of years ago when Twitter was growing exponentially. Now …

Thanks for all the great info. DreamFactory looks super interesting.

Off topic... but what are you using for JS animations these days? I've been using GSAP for almost a decade since the Flash days.

That's precisely my point. When Apple removed the headphone port from the iPhone it added lightning headphones and an adapter into the box. It also announced the AirPods. But with these MBPs? Not…

Because Apple also manufactures accessories like keyboards and mice.

Maybe, but you missed the second part of the statement which was the most important.

What about it? Aesthetics are part of the problem that needs to be solved.

Considering not even Apple makes USB-C accessories I don't buy the idea of advancing the industry. It makes more sense to me that these machines were never intended to be released in 2017 but som…

Even if that was the case, why not let users decide for themselves if they wanted 32GB and 8 hours of battery? 8 hours of battery is still pretty awesome. I think the narrative that Apple presented ab…

That's what I thought for 2 years before these new MBPs, and yet, here we are.

Design tools on Linux are still not good enough. It would be awesome if Affinity released their software for Linux since Adobe is not going to.
