Glad they tested this with practice beer; wait for actual beer delivery after GA.

You may be interested to know Google has an official REST API and associated Javascript library. https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/ https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/quickstart/js

An extra problem here is many app-embedded HTTP clients are configured to ignore HTTPS certificate validation.

Inaccurate headline. Subject line of forum thread is: Just received and Email saying "Your Google AdSense account was recently cancelled"

That was not my experience. I had the same problem, and their support would not let me change to a different client cert.

Gingerbread is 6 major releases old, and the Android SDK has evolved significantly since then. You may want to consider using a different device.

Broken link.

Linked article is a poorly written conspiracy theory.

Article seems to speak out both sides of its mouth, that robots are going away for Mercedes, and also that tons of small robots are being added. Anybody else get that takeaway?

Note, this article is basically a plug for Light Phone.

FYI this is a known issue: https://support.google.com/a/answer/6166309?hl=en

The question is, how much is this phone's manufacturing cost subsidized by Tracfone so it can be sold at a loss?

Why do you think that's a thing that's happening?

Cute idea... Has anybody tried this with CUPS?

And Perl6 has now invented its own word, "twigil"? Sigil was already a bad enough word. I used Per5 for a ton of production code years ago, and I've met Larry Wall and he is a brilliant and friendly person, but I am sad to say there is absolutely zero chance of Perl6 being adopted for a serious production software project, probably ever. It doesn't bring new capabilities, it's just different, and in a mostly-worse way.

Nashville has some of the nicest people in customer-facing roles, in my experience, and coupled with its low cost of living and the area's desire for a more diversified economy, this sounds like a multiple win.

This is the exact narrative from HBO's Silicon Valley.

The link here is different than the link from the comic, is this OK?

IMHO emails shouldn't be raising notifications no matter what time it is. If you need to reach me synchronously, that's what chat is for.

For all the stories saying "I was forced to do 80-100 hour weeks for months", I wonder how often these employees say "I'll do it for one week because I want to support this team, but I'm sorry I have other obligations beyond that that limit me to working only a regular week with an occasional 2-3 hours overtime if needed". Maybe I'm biased but I have trouble envisioning an environment in which a manager would fire somebody for that.

Nitpick: these are not "beacons", they are "sensors". The product page linked from the article doesn't even contain word "beacon". Beacons are unidirectional. But, beacons are hot right now, which presumably the author sought to capitalize on.

This being from 2013 and using Go 1.2, I'd be interested to see an update using Go 1.5.

Thanks to the author for including standard deviation numbers and not just the averages like so many other "benchmarks".

Key point from Google's status incident page that clarifies some of the partially-incorrect statements in the press and comments about this:

"In a very small fraction of cases (less than 0.000001% of PD space in europe-west1-b), there was permanent data loss."

Is he referring to the thing with the word "retarded"? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9966118

Warning, article is product placement for Netbeans. Author bio at the bottom: "Geertjan Wielenga is a principal product manager in Oracle for NetBeans".

I was disappointed the article was so vague about the technical details/hardware involved; anybody have a link to something more specific?

The idea is OpenVPN enables IP multicast to be tunneled over the public Interent, which Steam's streaming requires.

Have you considered Google Bigquery? It's a managed data warehouse with a SQL-like query language. Easy to load in your data, run queries, then drop the database when you're done with it.

I see both sides of this. It sounds like Zenefits was scraping the HTML interface of ADP's web site, and according to ADP's response, generating huge volumes of traffic. Around here, there is a bias that startup = white knight and incumbent = arrogant and malicious. If it was me, I would have probably disabled these accounts too under my ToS against negatively impacting the system for other users.

I also see that Zenefits needs to move quickly. Is there an ADP API they could be using?

How are people controlling Windows servers remotely without SSH? Remote desktop only?
