It's bad. The only way they could do such a thing and not drive people away would be to come up with more useful features, but their redesign seems to have less basic functionality than the old UI did. Microsoft will understand that gi

It is a much different read if you approach it with some prior knowledge of what it was intended to be. The preface plainly states that Milton wants to "justify the ways of god to men." The plot and structure are a direct knock-o

I often think that if we ever achieve an automated AI-driven society (unlikely, but bear with me), everyone will be a philosophy or literature PhD. They're the only disciplines that make it fun to go to class.

Paradise Lost was the highlight of my undergrad literature degree, by far. You won't get 10% of it reading it alone on the first time. There are so many little nuances and considerations and philosophical grey areas that someone could

It's still baffling to me that we are expected to believe, for example, that the CIA passes out millions of dollars in war-torn obscenely poor countries like Afghanistan, versus the more obvious assumption that people who work for the

No, just the opposite. His schools have had issues, because the schools were meant to be sandboxes for the students to get real world experience, and try things which may or may not work. The fact that the schools have become landmarks a

I don't. That's the rub with anything iPhone/iPad. Ultimately I'm at the mercy of Apple's app review process.

I'm not sure if I'd put a lot of stock in a Bloomberg article versus an Apple supplier. Isn't this the same Bloomberg who filled a political debate audience full of plants to cheer for himself, after buying his way on to the

The cost of google voice is free. If you go post something on craigslist and show your phone number as a contact method, I guarantee you that you will soon get spammed by google 2FA notifications. Around me they seem to be primarily set to

Well, in European history the answer is because wars and conquest were profit-seeking ventures, and those who managed to amass foreign lands intended to squeeze them for as much profit as possible. It's easy to oppress people you never

And Solr in 2004, but a json store returning json is not really the same as building a highly performant SQL client that works over http with support for operations on ~45 to 50 data types.

Social networks are also gamed. Since Twitter is their preferred platform, go put the activity of journalist Twitter accounts into a relational DB and start searching for who always boosts who. You'll find patterns. Of course there&#x2

Or better yet, one HTML file. Anchor tags are still a thing, last I checked. CTRL-F, does anyone still speak it?

No, I have no purpose for it, but I'm in my 40s. Twitter and Facebook are the only social media platforms I use. To say snapchat has no basis in trading porn is to say that pornhub could relaunch itself tomorrow and say "oh sorry

Sounds like a bit of lipstick on a billion dollar pig. I'm sure we all remember their early days, their marketing material was straight out of any drunken frat boy's phone. I mean, pornstars say 90% of pornstars are selling conte

I read the article, I still think this is a fine line that overall points to a nefarious intent, I suppose we can debate which one it is... 1) Desire to cut Apple out of their share by trying to monetize a test app and/or 2) Desire to

The article doesn't pass the smell test to me. By his own description of what it does, I'd say the app is highly likely to be selling access to content that the author hasn't licensed, and is on sketchy copyright grounds. Als

Because Snapchat is ultimately an application designed to trade in porn of amateurs including (and perhaps especially) teenagers. They have a vested interest in playing dumb to that fact. They can't really do so if the content escapes

Sorry, I don't care about branding semantics. The difference between inittab and the scripts controlling the startup routines are minimal. A person in 2005 could grasp the difference between BSD and Linux init scripts in about an hour

Yes, exactly. There's no need for a hypervisor to simply isolate one set of services and/or a sandbox for testing, a jail is a simpler solution.

I too used FreeBSD for many things between 4x and 10.x, but have made the switch to Ubuntu in the past couple of years. Things I miss: 1) Jails without having to have a hypervisor system, Linux doesn't really have anything comparably a

The logic is they want to be less transparent because they have to find room for ever more legacy and donor-based admissions. This will presumably be a lot easier to do without having to maintain a false sense of propriety in admissions.

DD-WRT on the R7000 is flawless. I even run nginx as a name-based proxy on mine, with load balancing! Works like a champ.
