asendra··on The Verge editor secretly joins Apple, doesn't inform the Verge
Ziegler is not just any editor though. There has to be more to the story.
asendra··on Twitter may receive formal bid, suitors said to include Salesforce and Google
Also, better youtube commenting system?
asendra··on Homebrew 1.0.0
Really? I didn't know that. I'm sure he has plenty of options though.
asendra··on Homebrew 1.0.0
Well, he's at Apple now in charge of the Swift Package Manager, so I think he did okay.
asendra··on Geekbench: iPhone 7 faster than all Macbook Airs in single thread
They don't need to sell them to enterprise. They can be their own customer. They have some of the bigger datacenters after all.

ARM for data storage pools seems like a good fit.

asendra··on Geekbench: iPhone 7 faster than all Macbook Airs in single thread
Updated thoughts regarding Geekbench 4, the newer version. http://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?threadid=159853&curposti...

TLDR: Much better.

asendra··on iPhone 7 Review
What does that have to do with having an easily scratchable finish???
asendra··on Apple Said to Plan First Pro Laptop Overhaul in Years
I don't know, the only component I could see myself needing replacing is the SSD, and I never end up doing it with any of my laptops.

Intel laptop line of CPUs only accept 16gb [1], so there's no reason to no max it out from the start if you need it, really. The battery, unless you are confortable with buying chinese parts, you should only be buying a replacement for Apple, so I don't see the problem with having them replace it for you. Granted, this is easier having Apple stores close by.

And SSD hardly ever fail, compared to old HDDs at least, so unless you want to increase capacity, there in't much need to compared with before, and Apple gives you the option to buy the biggest SSD you can put in there from the beginning.

Edit: [1] I believe since Skylake, they support more than 16gb! I thought that was only with the new Xeons for laptops.

asendra··on Tower for Windows beta
I'm curious, Is it a UWP app?
asendra··on Hogwatch – a bandwidth monitor that shows per process network transfer
Nice, first time I hear about it and seems really nice. Good work.

If I only wanted to monitor network connections on my mac, and block/allow them forever/for a limited time, is there any difference in functionality between this and Little Snitcher?

asendra··on Google rolls out “If This Then That” support for its $200 OnHub router
History?
asendra··on Skylake's Linux power management is dreadful you shouldn't buy until it's fixed
Yeah, I was writing the same exact though before seeing your comment. Seems plausible. Maybe they didn't had enough cpu for the Iris Pro 15" macbook pro, but there seemed to be no reason why they hadn't updated the macbook/13" macbook pro yet.
asendra··on Microsoft Build 2016 live keynote
Only UWP Apps, acces to only 1gb ram.

Only UWP Apps, access to just 1GB of ram.
asendra··on Microsoft Build 2016 live keynote
They have been saying that for over two years.
asendra··on Dropbox’s Exodus from the Amazon Cloud
So, just for fun. The video quotes "over 1PB" of storage per box.

I count 6 columns of 15 rows/drives. Might be 7 columns even, there's some panels that aren't fully open on the video.

So, 90-105 drives. I'm guessing they are using 10TB drives, although maybe they can get bigger unannounced drives? Roughly, the math seems to check out.

Quite impressive. Guess the Backblaze guys need a Storage Pod 6.0 soon :P (I know, I know, different requirements/constraints)

asendra··on Big News for ZFS on Linux
Now, how 'bout them Apples err Macs?

Well I'm Spanish after all ;)

How about this one

asendra··on Apple can comply with the FBI court order
The burden of proof lies on the accuser...

Or so they say.

asendra··on Nissan's self-parking chairs
... and has USB charging ports built-in (via Inductive charging with the floor?)
asendra··on A Review of the Amazon Books Store
And in Spain :P
asendra··on What's new in Xcode 7
They have also merged both iOS and OS X developer programs under the same roof. 99$/y gives you access to both now.
asendra··on Ultra-High-Definition Quality Experience with MPEG-DASH Streaming
Works really well, yes, but it has considerable latency for real time video.
asendra··on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus: Preliminary Benchmark Results
To be fair, the Nvidia shield mentioned in these benchmarks is a 8" tablet, not a smartphone. I think k1 hasn't yet been shown in a smartphone form factor. Given the limitations caused by size, it's not really a fair comparison.
asendra··on Apples to Apples, Part II
Well, It is a comparison between Objective-C and Swift, after all. He is using the proper data structures in each language for this tests. It's true is not the most efficient way to go about it in an Objective-C app, because you can mix it with C and C++, but then you wouldn't be using Objective-C, and the title of the article probably wouldn't be "An analysis of sorts between Objective-C and Swift".
