dmishe··on Soviet College Admission — My Dad's Story (1970)
wait, racism, in what part of the post?
dmishe··on Dropbox Sync API
Wasn't this announced a month or so ago?
dmishe··on Lawmaker says biking bad for the environment
How do you like rain and snow?
dmishe··on (Presumably) Apple engineer comment on Lightning AV adapter design
How is that estimation done, I'm very curious?
dmishe··on (Presumably) Apple engineer comment on Lightning AV adapter design
Nope. This is _the_ question here, what prevented them from pushing framebuffer data to the adapter, which then puts it into HDMI compatible form
dmishe··on (Presumably) Apple engineer comment on Lightning AV adapter design
Yep, and the comment about them using already existent h264 support in hardware I think supports dry-run-fastest-to-deadline solution.

Re pins, I'm not EE either, but I don't get why people concern about number of pins so much, as I asked earlier in this thread, is there a relation between number of pins and bandwidth (well with physics involved there is _some_)?

dmishe··on (Presumably) Apple engineer comment on Lightning AV adapter design
I think that if you have a 1080p source on your phone, it goes to tv as 1080 and without another compression step, it's only mirroring that reduces the resolution (which, for ipad mini, is less than 1080p btw) and introduces compression pass

>the Lightning devices of today will be in a museum.

Why? They'll plug another $50 adapter on it and it'll work.

dmishe··on (Presumably) Apple engineer comment on Lightning AV adapter design
But then there's 4K, if we're talking about future proofing.

Well, say right now it cannot transmit 1080p60 raw. Could it with new hardware in device and adapter? Or put another way — does number of pins limit bandwidth in any way?

dmishe··on (Presumably) Apple engineer comment on Lightning AV adapter design
I think the main takeaway is that yes, lightning is future proof and can adapt to any output you want it to.

I do wonder what's the reason for encode/decode cycle was in the first place though.

dmishe··on On the horizon: T-Mobile with no contract
I was planning to switch from verizon to tmobile value for a while now. Even with ETF on verizon it is worth it. Now the only concern I have is network quality, which as I've heard is not that great even in big cities (opinions welcome).

But I really want this model to win, so I think I will switch regardless.

dmishe··on Why don't MacBooks come with cellular networking?
Do whatever, just push 4G dataplans to bigger caps, I would drop cable for that.
dmishe··on Django 1.5 released
I would say 2 because every package out there works with it, not the case with 3 still. So it will be easier for you to follow docs and tutorials.

Plus, 2 is not going away in near future, and you'll be able to pick up 3 easily after that

dmishe··on Who Has the Guts for Gluten?
Were you advised because of some condition where it was clear tonsils was the problem, or just a routine operation?
dmishe··on Who Has the Guts for Gluten?
I thinkg that tonsils is one of first line defenses against bacteria/infections, so removing them would be suboptimal, although necessary
dmishe··on Who Has the Guts for Gluten?
I'm from Ukraine and love me some yogurt, but the first time I have even heard about celiac was at my first US doctor visit. Plus it looks to me that the whole industry of non-gluten food is so big here, while non-existant at home.
dmishe··on Index soon to be portable "database-file program" for OS X
it is Mac OS X, or better yet, OS X since 10.8
dmishe··on How Github Works
Github seems to hire new people once or twice a week, yet their jobs page lists 1 or 2 openings at most and the last one, enterprise support eng was there for a long time. I'm curious how does that work?
dmishe··on Github - "Experiencing Problems"
oh my god
dmishe··on Is Amazon’s Marketplace encouraging buyers to file refund claims?
It happens all the time, if item is sold directly by amazon llc then they could refund you ahead of time and ask that you send in the item within a couple of weeks. Sometimes they also check UPS status and refund as soon as you dropped the item
dmishe··on Man hunt for ex-soldier who shot police chief's daughter and killed policeman
Exactly, then it will be news, now it's nothing
dmishe··on Man hunt for ex-soldier who shot police chief's daughter and killed policeman
It's merely another camera in the sky, what's the big deal, they're not firing (yet?)
dmishe··on US IT Wages set to Stagnate. Thank the Senate
So I know a guy at Microsoft on h1b who makes ~100k, is that underpaid or what?
dmishe··on IPhone 5S, 5-inch iPhone 6 allegedly spotted at supplier
5s maybe, but not 6
dmishe··on Highest paid technology interns
Well true, but still, 72k in sfba and seattle is really different
dmishe··on Highest paid technology interns
MS for one is not
dmishe··on Sentry, The (Now Profitable) Bug Tracker Gets A Huge Makeover
we use it on free heroku tier (actually we just had to bump db to $5 plan) to grab errors from 3 django apps, so far so good.

To whoever is interested, I am maintaining this repo, that allows you to install sentry on heroku in a couple of steps https://github.com/dmishe/sentry-on-heroku

dmishe··on Postgression - A PostgreSQL database for every test case
Interesting, but still this is connecting to outside server. For mac there's Postgres.app
dmishe··on The Torture of Bradley Manning
Technically treason — the best kind of treason
dmishe··on Seattle to deploy Gigabit fiber network
118 with what? In IL I could find a 0 coinsurance plan at least, starting at around 300 depending on deductible. You can't do that in WA, they all have 30-35% coinsurance, they have deductibles of 10+ and out-of-pocket maximums at twice of that.

It looks like agents are able to find a much better option, presumably inside group plans, but still.
