The "stolen" argument seems a bit odd. Sure, anything can be stolen.
When purchasing an e-bike a removable battery was a must have. The one I wound up purchasing has a pretty heavy duty locking mechanism for the battery so I never really have to worry about it being stolen.
I'd use Safari over Chrome, but Safari has a couple of show-stopping bugs:
1. Swiping back on the trackpad to navigate backwards freezes the page for a couple of seconds. It then redraws the page with any updated elements (perhaps a refresh?).
2. The element CSS attributes in the dev tools often fail to update the DOM, duplicate with every keystroke, or revert what you have typed.
I got bit by this over this weekend, too. I received the initial email September 27 @ 1:35 AM local time. I called Rackspace to see if they would be sending out emails prior to each VPS being rebooted 30 minutes or so before just as a heads up for human monitoring purposes. The representative told me that it "was not feasible" for them to do that for every VPS. Instead... I've been camped by my computer all of today (Sunday) to monitor the reboots since I have servers at DFW & ORD and they have a 24 hour time window for those regions.
While their status page was somewhat helpful, I find it absolutely absurd that they can only update it once every 60 minutes to cue customers in. In addition, their Cloud Control Panel doesn't reflect the reboots. When a VPS goes down for a reboot... the CP shows the server as "Active - Online and functioning as properly". Thankfully great third party monitoring services (using Scout) exist so they can notify in-place of Rackspace's incompetency.
As someone who shells out a significant amount of money to them each month, this is pretty disheartening. That being said... I seem to have survived the Great Rackspace Reboot of 2014 and can only hope they handle the next event better.
GitHub employs a handful of women.[1] Have any others ever spoken out about sexism internally? Out of all these women why was Horvath singled out? Maybe I'm missing something but it really seems that this isn't adding up...
Pretty much for anything that I want to store to a database but is too costly do to write every time I update. For example, I use Redis store counters for things and then batch process them storing to Postgres.
This is actually talking directly to the iMessage service. It's hitting https://service.ess.apple.com:443 (and https://service2.ess.apple.com:443 when authenticating) and not being proxied through any third-party servers. That being said, it does look like the app reports basic analytics but nothing sensitive.
If they can get the price down, pairing this with the Google balloon WiFi would be awesome. Making it easier and cheaper for people in developing countries to get online would be great.
After looking at the source, this appears to be a great beginners resource of how to build on top of C. The source is very concise and straightforward. I'm curious to see what will come from this.
I'm sure you've heard of pathogen, but if not, check it out here: https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen. I've been using it for a while and it's fantastic.
