AFAIK You can't hook up old ISA or PCI cards to a raspberry pi, and if you can, the x86 drivers and software won't work.

GUIs are much more consistent across platforms than terminal features. Windows look and behave consistently but DOS vs BASH are totally different. I'm not sure what you mean by efficient keyboard commands. Command line programs are ext

This seems to be begging the question: At what point does one move to a GUI? GUIs are well suited for these tasks.

The problem with the javascript ecosystem is that javascript ecosystem rejects the problems with the ecosystem.

I've used TeamCity (the UI has changed many times), Jenkins (including blue ocean), Bamboo, a few others... TeamCity is by far the best I've experienced. Jenkins seems to suffer from too many cooks/anything goes mentality. It

Has programming 'without writing code' ever panned out for anyone? 27th times the charm?

Why do big companies insist on making their own font and then putting on a parade to celebrate its debut? Arial, Helvetica, and countless other fonts are a better option since I already have them installed, don't need a special license

It looks great to you but a lot of people think it looks blocky or blurry or both, and are willing to pay more to have what they prefer.

I suspect something like that. The video codecs it uses are Sorenson Spark (ancient), VP6 (google opened this), and h264 (certainly encumbered for a while longer). Though, patents haven't stopped open source projects like LAME or x264.

If it's of such low value that it's being discontinued and all the browser vendors are blocking it; why not open source?

You can add these to the list of selfish parties: Developers wanting full scripting support; this is what lead to all the security problems. Advertisers that turned an amazing animation system into a thing everyone hated. Macromedia and the

This sounds like a bug in postgres (or a low-hanging-fruit optimization); adding the hacky offset 0 to bypass the inlining may help work around the bug now but may hinder future optimizations. My experience teaches me to avoid tricking an o

Jetbrains tools help point out better ways to do the same task and learn about new language features by identifying slow or compatible code then instantly refactoring to the better or newer version for you. It makes learning new language fe

Regarding Visual Studio, have you used JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA? For many things, it's consistently years ahead of Visual Studio.

"[bad retina support] is not Apple's fault" Yes it is. Apple chose a resolution that was not 1/nth as dense and thus everything non-retina needs a lot more work to fix. Apple could have implemented and tested it better.

I love the cozy warm fuzzies that 'face-to-face bonding' bring up. I'm sure those same managers pushing for that bonding would be just as sensitive and show just as much concern for the team when they 'reorganize' a

Oh so many false or misleading claims. 1. "The keyboard allows for faster input"; sometimes that's true, but consider picking a coordinate within an image. Mouse is better than KB for such a task. 2. Composable commands; GUIs

Usually exclusive? Every restaurant entrance in Chicago has UberEats, DoorDash, Postmates, Delivery.com, Grubhub, Seamless, AND Eat24 stickers. Walk inside and theres a table with ~8 iPads, one for each delivery service.

Have you seen any convincing scientific evidence that they are effective? I mean... Do they stop terrorism? They may not give you cancer but those machines aren't free.

During my first trip through $100 precheck (via global entry) I was directed through millimeter wave machine. I opted out. Precheck was not prepared for opt out. In the end, it took longer to get through pre-check than the normal+optout.

I'm not defending dialogs or modals, but at least with those (on a larger screen) you have control over what hey cover. I suspect most users wouldn't even know the bottom sheet is there nor how to bring it up nor how to dismiss it

A+ job on a polished version of that interface element. It's too bad it's an interface element that causes a lot of pain by covering content and embracing dark patterns.

Apple seems to be driving their software toward what they think the consumer wants (and maybe even what the consumer says they want, or even choses to buy because of), instead of what the customer actually needs . Yes, the customer might

Selling well doesn't always mean doing well or doing good. IT departments for companies that give their staff macs will buy whatever garbage Apple makes available because they have no other option. Same with consumers stuck in the Appl

It's also elitist for Apple to change the default file format to one that's patent encumbered and not compatible with basically any other software aside from their own.
