My wife got a news article pop up because it included a Getty licensed stock image that was from a location and time she had physically been present at. The article itself was unappealing in any other way.

That was as long and rambly as a country drive. The author covers lots of incidental details like segregation and women owning the roadside diners. I was reading with an eye for shortcomings and enjoyed the article. Well written!

If there's someone very interested in archiving a given set of information I'm all for it. Where I think we collectively have an issue is when we're super into someone else archiving it. And that they then need to figure ou

Likewise. I've black-holed all the linked in e-mails to their own folder. And are there ever a lot when I glance in there (currently).

Mostly. But it still seems (to me) that people have the expectation that it provides utility of some sort first and marketing second. I'm unsure how other platforms being identical in that regard moderates the statement. I still feel a

Linkedin is a marketing platform where you are the product. Use it as a tool if you need to but try not to forget that. If you feel something's horrible there it's likely by design and within that context. (edit: you're to yo

Correct. 2-1, 3-1, then 2-1 early on. So there's a 12 to 1 ratio at play there. Initial day's closing was 18$.

The creator of a thing can decide to remove their copy of it and not license it further. Someone else can pay for a token that signifies... something. At the very least, that they've purchased a token. I'm not sure what more. Alth

Was it the invention of the web forum? I don't recall how the WELL was originally implemented.

Huh, from the headline I was thinking it was intentional! Nothing but marketing fluff in the newsfeed yet, still waiting on an article that's not walled in Swedish(?).

Newegg's still around. And I'll second the B&H recommendation for anything they stock.

Worked with a guy named Nikita who was on phone support. So many people in the US who couldn't wrap their heads around that normally being a mans name in Russia. I don't get where Yvan would be confusing either. Weird people out t

Good question. I think my perception is that finding and using them is a high bar of entry. And the suspicion that Google doesn't do even a cursory examination would put me off of using anything that isn't independently vetted.

I'm still amazed that people install (outside of very specific development or page manipulation use cases) Chrome extensions. Are these more common on Chromebooks or some other platform I don't regularly use?

To your point these folks seem pretty well defined as organized crime. Or possibly foreign military if appropriate. I'm not sure leaving infrastructure hanging out in the breeze can be compensated for by cracking down on personal liber

Not on Amazon. They do make actual no-sale agreements with manufacturers (looking at you, Warner Media) to not sell used product and boot anyone who tries. Which, ah, is great right until they're a near monopoly. But this looks more li

That sounds like why they should enforce it! The mechanism usually involves a transfer of wealth to the offendee.

Nice writeup! It's always neat to see hardware stacking up. Good work on your design if efficiency wasn't explicitly a goal (even if it was, I guess). The lower power consumption on newer hardware's probably down to raw powe

I walked away from academia early on and went into working in IT because I felt (after a couple years) the earlier coursework didn't benefit me and wouldn't for some time. I wonder if part of this process forces out anyone not wil

I would assume that the employer has to take the statements of these experienced engineers on faith until interviewed where as the student may be a more easily known quantity in advance. Hard(er) to fudge your knowledge when your standing (

I beat Ultima 1 on an HP 200 LX. It barely has a number before the (86) on the processor :) Fun fact: it ran fine on half height CGA. You should be fine with DOSBox.

Now that you mention I do have some half width server boards kicking around on steel trays. I always assumed they went in some two-up side by side, but the trays are a little odd for that.

That's how those bills work. It was either the most expedient way to get it in a bill or the Carolina congress people were needed to pass it.

Still with a BSD derived kernel? I can't see why you'd need to make them that different; massive costs savings if you don't.

At some point they weren't paying anything for licenses on sub 9" devices. Although I swear it was 11" or 14" on Win10 at some point I can't find a reference. https://www.onmsft.com/news/windows

Hmm. Well said. I've not been able to put my finger on what bothers me about a few of his novels and that's a good description of it. REAMDE was long also but didn't really suffer from that. I think it made Seveneves unreadab

Good advice. My response is generally "the one you're going to write something in". Only if I have time for a indeterminate length conversation about what they'd like to do to get started, of course!

Jeez. Remind me not to express an opinion on here. Thank you for the clarification! I haven't had the extra time to tinker with the latest devices since it's a bit outside my day to day. That's a bit more nuanced and it'

Ah, then nothing's changed (re the messiness) since Android 2/4/5. Sounds like they're still moving toward locking down everyone's hardware to ensure their ad platform revenue. The couple of devices I've broken

Thanks for the heads up. Haven't actually played since Cube was current and Sauerbraten was getting worked on (iirc, time's past). Next holiday at the hackerspace we're looking for something to spin up and hook in anyone walk
