For code projects that are between me and a couple of other devs, none of whom are infrastructure security experts, I trust a company like Github a lot more than one of us trying to hack something together on a server.
With the exception that if you have three guys hacking something together a dedicated server or a box off your cable modem, with git tunneled over ssh using keys and a proper firewall, you'd probably be miles ahead. That might take you an afternoon to set up with almost no experience.
Not to say that it couldn't be compromised, but your not a target like github might be. If you're working with an enterprise level project with more complex auth and access methods, more users, performance and scaling needs, you'd need a real security implementation.
Not so much in battery tech. It's really holding back a lot of hardware innovation on computers and also holding back the viability of EVs for many consumers.
That is true but CPUs and panels do decrease in power usage over time to the point that you can adopt Retina in MBA without harming the battery life. Not to mention if they find a way to cut down on the weight, they can also increase the battery's capacity.
The Retina display in iPad Air is much more power efficient compared to the retina display in 3rd gen iPad due to reduction of backlight LEDs and move to IGZO type of panel.
Nope, not just you. I consider it digital hoarding in a lot of ways. I keep a lot of emails around as they're actually useful to reference at later times and easily searched and archived. But IM, Twitter, IRC, Facebook, SMS, etc I treat as passing and never look at messages further than a few weeks back.
Worth noting that this is quickly going away. Traffic is projected to get far, far worse over the next few years at current growth rates and public transit is still very disappointing in comparison to other large cities.
> When I feel that the oncoming vehicle's lights are too bright, they get my high beams, which stay on them, despite their frantic high beam flashing. If more people did this, perhaps these people would switch back to their OEM lights.
Sounds like you're really endangering other people's lives in response to an annoyance.
Even if that's the case, the correct response is not to endanger them right back. That's like people who tailgate because they think the person in front of them is going too slow, or the ones who slow down because they think the person behind them is going too fast. Two wrongs don't make a right; they just make things twice as bad, or worse.
I'm also interested in what the infrastructure of HN looks like. One of the tweets via @HNStatus seemed to imply that the site runs off of one application server.
1. Read Getting Things Done. It will change the way you look at approaching tasks.
2. Clear, approachable goals. "Ship the website" isn't something you can just do, "write unit tests for deletion of users" is. One of my favorite features of Trello is a checklist on a card, it allows you to break down actions into very defined actionable items.
3. Have a list of things you're going to take an action on today.
