I was thinking Google might be it. I do this in Google Maps on my phone, but thought maybe even Google Maps was passe these days.

Well they were at one point. I'm a bit of a dinosaur, so I was alive before either of these existed. I'm left wondering what people do now. Have an app for each theater perhaps? Edit: I don't believe sonicxxg deserves any dow

I wondered what happened. It used to be my go to place for movies but it just kept degrading. Now I go to Fandango.

I was really forced into it by wanting to retain my job. If I wasn't working where I am, then I wouldn't have made the change. But I like working where I am just 8 minutes from my house, pretty good job security compared to the te

I'm with you on all of this. It was an eye-opener visiting other countries (USA native here) that were more laid-back about getting to work and staying at work. Mexico City in particular was nice and relaxed when I worked there for a w

Possibly but I don't think so in my case. I've worked 9:30 am - 6:30 pm or later for most of my 25 year career. Stayed up until 2 am every night pretty much. I really did force the change for myself and it totally sucked going thr

It's always possible. However, I forced this change. It didn't occur naturally over time.

Interesting story about sleep. I tossed and turned until 3 or 4 am every night for most of my life. Horrible horrible nightmares every night. Exhausted every day, falling asleep behind the wheel on the way to work, nodding off in meetings o

Anecdotally, at 51 and previously thought the same as you, I'm going to disagree. I'm closing in on two years of getting up at 5:00 am and it doesn't bother me anymore. I never thought it would be possible for me to adapt, bu

Lifelong (51 years) night owl and morning hater. I got in trouble at work for being late and that was it for me. I have been getting up at 5:00 am for almost two years now. I don't leave for work until about 7:30 am. I do now enjoy the

Wow, I just looked up what hiQ does and have to say it's pretty scummy in my opinion. Why do people create stuff like this? Don't they know it will likely come back to bite them one day? For reference: "There is more informat

I would think, and of course could be wrong, it would be as legal as Google scraping all of the web sites that they do in order to create their search engine in the first place. In particular, Google provides cached versions of web pages. T

Does it need to be better? There are many quotes about simply being content in life. I finally realized it's okay for me to spend time playing Call of Duty if that's what I want to do. If I wasn't doing that, I'd most li

Is this the new Zawinski law? No programming language is complete until someone builds a web framework with it.

Here in the DFW area, I can get same day delivery of some items from Best Buy. I bought my SSD on cyber-monday that way and had it the same day. You do have to check the box that says in-store items or similar. Can't remember the exact

A lot of it is fiction, so I would assume it is for enjoyment. No need to remember all of it.

The person billed that for the consulting company, but I doubt they got that much. Consulting companies burn both ends.

Thanks! I will have to read up on shucking and and /r/DataHoarder. I would think someone already has a list of which external drives can be used this way.

I noticed this yesterday while shopping for cyber Monday deals. If you want to load up a server with drives, perhaps the external drives can be removed from their cases and used internally?

Some electronic components, switches, plugs, relays, lamps, usually have a listed number of cycles they can withstand before failure. Back when I worked in the industry, some of these values were surprisingly low.

For those wondering what you do with XML as a document markup language, see the XML document that is the specification for XML. I had to look at the page source to determine it really is an XML document. Looks like an HTML document. https:

Even humans have difficulty dealing with weird cases. Car accidents happen for many reasons, including the driver being unable to process the incoming information in the given time. One of my pet peeves is the lack of raised markings (Botts
