Windows: Sorry, Dave, we can't shut your system down right now, you have 3 apps keeping it from shutting down and we have 37 updates to Edge Browser to install... Have a nice day.

I think the only real way to get their attention is to convince someone sufficiently tech famous to tweet that you're getting a shit deal from YouTube. Only then will a real person step in.

I think this depends on if people want to govern or simply win elections. If one's goal is the latter, maybe smartening up your base is not a good thing.

Fair, but let's say they sent everyone home and 3 of the people died in their homes from the tornado. Would we be outraged that the company sent them home in such foul weather?

Oh come on. How much maintenance could it actually be to keep it? Honestly, I would not be surprised if some "I want everything to be modern" web dev convinced the powers that be that it was obsolete because he couldn't be bo

Dr Christopher (Tools of Computing) wrote some docs on parsing that were interesting to me (first time I saw matrix multiplication used in computing first/follow, etc sets). I am pretty sure he used Icon, because it was my first exposu

This is really nice. Great job. It would be interesting to see how something like concurrency could be added.

Alternate perspective: After you've briefly immersed yourself in context, you no longer need the longer names, the shorter ones make sense. In fact, it would be fatiguing the have to constantly read the longer names after you're f

Right. I don't see why this is so far fetched. It gets MS/Windows branding/features on the machines, not some "other" Linux distro. Once people are using Windows only features, they can discontinue or raise prices

Should they? I really don't know. Will they? I believe they will - kind of. I think they'll make a Windows for cloud that is based on Linux. I think they'll still have the current Windows on the desktop stick around (at l

You're welcome. And just to clarify, I don't have anything against your process (I've used Zenni myself), I just wanted to make the point about being careful with the PD.

Could be working in your favor. Most off the rack glasses are made with a 60mm PD because that's a good average. So if you have, say, a 62 mm PD and you're wearing them to use a laptop, your eyes will be converging a bit anyway.

I think they could have done a better job with the aluminum foil. It looks rather not well done. He could have made a pouch and folded the sides over a few times. I made a pouch for my car's key fob with aluminum foil and metal tape.

Could be a carrier setting. Log into your carrier account and see if there some sort of data saver that blocks higher bitrate videos.
