Woah, this is really cool. I like how it highlights the text in blocks as it's being spoken. Did you build this in-house?

If she's eating 1000 kcal a day then she probably isn't overweight so wouldn't need to cut down further.

Here's my prediction: if you didn't play vanilla when it was available, you're gonna hate it. If you did play it, you'll go back for the nostalgia but will stop when you realise how tough the grind was. Those players will be late 20s and beyond now and won't have the time for it.

It'll be interesting to see how many of those calling for this to happen actually stick around.

Wow, $2,500 is great. Can you share who that was? I had a small acquisition a few years ago and my bill WAS 4-5x that.

Running the Chrome extension on your own device? Yep that's OK. But republishing full articles on the web accessible to all - no chance. They have a DMCA link at the bottom to "excuse" themselves.

What does this mean for those unfamiliar?

Alternative title: Today I realised why going all-in on Google's platform is maybe not a great business decision.

Also note: this isn't me personally.

Can you go into more detail about the proof or technique they thought you were using?

For Android:

There are apps like Extreme Call Blocker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greythinke...) which you can set up to send everything not in your contact list straight to voicemail.

Also you could use something like Should I Answer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mistergrou...) which will show you if a caller is spammy based on a huge database of crowd-sourced ratings.

Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity ;)

There's been a shockingly high amount of young inexperienced devs involved in building for crypto. I remember making similar mistakes when I was starting out as a dev... except I wasn't solely responsible for systems handling millions of dollars.

When you finally get the thing you've always wanted, you'll find you don't want it anymore.

Apart from the first 8 and a half years when speculators were predicting it would replace fiat for everyday transactions, you mean?

This article is a mess.

- Shows Pixel 2 XL image at the top

- Refers to the phone as the Pixel 2 (non-XL) all throughout the article

- Uses the dimensions of the Pixel 2 (non-XL)

- Uses the resolution of the Pixel 2 XL

- Uses the price of the non-XL

Unless he's implying both phones are the phone of the year, this is nothing but confusing.

Great news everyone!

Ps. Not you.

It seems to suggest that buying bitcoin based on speculation is considered gambling and thus GCT isn't applicable (nor is offsetting your losses against other taxable income).

That's the whole point. You thought the founders were getting warm fuzzies from sharing their story?

And I still feel bad when I think about the 10 bitcoin I lost in mtgox and what they'd be worth now... (he lost 40,000 in mtgox)

No, this is fine. If anyone malicious wanted to find out if an email address is registered they could simply try to create a new account using it.

I think they mean from when you toss it in a bin full of cables and scraps and something breaks off.

The MS stack is better than a lot of people give it credit for. Back in the old days of ASP.NET webforms I'd agree that it sucked, but things have changed a lot since then.

There's a web framework similar to RoR. C# is fast out of the box, strongly typed, and easy to work with. Also it's similar to JS so working with the two simultaneously isn't jarring. Visual Studio is arguably the best in class IDE. IIS is fast and can do everything you'd expect. Most tools have a GUI default, which really helped when I was learning.

Windows licensing costs are minimal compared to the total cost of a server (like an extra $20/month). I ran a db-driven site with 1,000-2,000 concurrent users, 30-50 reqs/s, and 40mil pageviews/month with a single $100/month Rackspace VM. SQL Server can get expensive when you start scaling up, but it's easy to switch over to Postgres when that happens.

Also I kinda like how steady it is. I got into development to build products, not to be constantly on the edge learning about the latest libraries or paradigm shifts. That's what frontend JS is for.

My 6P has the Huawei logo on the back. It doesn't say Google anywhere.

Between 0-15 minutes.

I'm sure there were already IP APIs available before you launched, what do you think helped you fight through the crowd to become as big as you are now?

Two weekends for the MVP of https://newsapi.org. About 3 months so far for v2 - I'm building it out into a more featureful service that I'm hoping I can build a business around.

I completely agree about the function keys. That's the only reason I haven't upgraded my 2015 Macbook pro.

More powerful in what way? Processing power?

I don't doubt that, I've tried them and they're good too. No native OSX though.

As a developer I can't imagine buying anything other than a Macbook Pro, and I mainly use Windows.

The build quality is top of the line, the drivers are solid, and everything just works. The trackpad is industry leading, and the keyboard is great too. Performance is exceptional, especially in the 15" which comes with a HQ processor (not ultrabook-grade) and a discrete graphics card. It has a PCI-e SSD. The price is reasonable compared to the competition.

But despite being IMO the best laptop available, the main reason I choose them is because every so often I need to boot into OSX for testing, or to do something Mac-only. And nothing else can do that.

What graphics card? This uses your graphics card.
