Unfortunately many tickets in the state of California can not be written without a photo of the face of the driver. You ticket a person, not the owner of the car. I looked into this recently because as a cyclist I've witness horrific d

Firstly, speed. Opening that mailbox with a GUI-based email application on a developer desktop was orders of magnitude slower, if it opened at all. The volume was just far more than most desktop email apps was used to at the time. Secondly,

GitHub was hosted on Engine Yard[0] in the early days, and as part of that deal had an Engine Yard banner in the footer. We then moved to Rackspace[1] for a few years until the first funding round in 2012 when we built out our own datacente

I have the Elgato FaceCam and it's absolutely fantastic on the Mac. Zero issues, great adjustability, good quality (much better than a laptop webcam, not quite as good as an iPhone/"real" camera.

MP3 is a good one. Although I had to develop a lot of perl to manage the various incantations of ID3 tags, especially when VBR became popular. MP3 files may still play, but the full experience (properly attributed w/ band, album, song
