I have an app at work that has a Search box. Used to accept regex patterns for selecting a host by name or description on the inventory list below. When clicking on that search box, it pops up a list of other search terms that I've e

Is it valid to take a data point of one, combined with a time element to get an estimate? For example Earth started gaining life shortly (in geological time) after it was able to sustain it. That would indicate that either life arises eas

Hard drives crash eventually. Other corruption events happen also, along with user error. Do these business go under when they get other non-ransomware data loss events? What is it about ransomware that is different than any other type o

If you think about it, that is how we are trained to work from childhood. You go to school for lessons (go into the office for meetings), then you go home to do your homework and projects. A college schedule is like this, where you are &q

I would really like to get a Model 3, but with a few adjustments. First, I'd like to put in a dash full of physical buttons, dials, and switches so I'm not reliant on the touchscreen (so I could do things like adjust the wiper de

On my Ford Sync 3 system, when I plug my phone in to use Android Auto the GPS sometimes goes haywire (the map keeps spinning in random directions like the car is drifting at sea out of control). Rebooting the phone doesn't fix it, onl

What about keeping your primary residence's mortgage to something low enough that you could reasonably cover with an easily obtainable emergency fund. Then include unimproved (or improved) land with no buildings on them in your asset

Remember that a lot of action on the stock market is built on speed. If they change the storage format to be 64-bit instead of a 32-bit number that would be a non-backwards compatible data format change. So the data format specification w

Only options I know of are a couple crowd funding ones, and Linux is a secondary option on them (they are Android primarily). The ones from Planet Computers can run sailfish, and I've read that FXtec is coming out with a new model tha

Because the cloud is designed around people uploading binaries to your machine -- it is a basic principle of how services are allocated. When you go to AWS an spin up an EC2 instance, you don't get a machine to yourself. You get a VM

They wouldn't be able to without breaking the DRM used on Youtube TV. Or in cases where DRM isn't involved, their client would constantly break until they release a patch every time Youtube changes something.

As a contrary to that, many stores have a phone app that lets you look up items in a given store location. I've been using that exclusively for the last few years instead of trying to find someone to help me. I'm sure that these

I love how whenever SpaceX fails to land a booster that I see headlines of "SpaceX blows up another rocket", even if it still delivered its payload to orbit. I do wonder, however, where NASA would be if they would have continued w

Here's the other lovely thing, is the deeper you go with a well the worse the water quality. Deep water could have been sitting there for thousands of years and may have a higher radon concentration.

And what is really frustrating is you see an error in a tool you depend on, try something to fix it (such as rebuilding a database index), then you sit back and wait without having any idea how long that process is going to take. Or if it

The side windows in most cars can be broken easily with a punch tool. These really should be standard safety equipment in a known easily-reachable location (such as on the key fob).

I would have preferred a strategy of using financial incentives. Big fines for companies that refused to switch to remote work where it was feasible. An additional tax on indoor dining and shopping, to make curbside pickup more attractive

Is it giving more vertical space, or taking away horizontal space? A 16:9 screen would be fine if it had the same vertical resolution as the 3:2 screens. In that case you work off the center of the screen and put various gadget items to e

Too bad that there isn't special scoring in bowling for the difficulty of a shot. Picking up the 7-10 spare should be an automatic win of the tournament instead of just the points you normally get from a spare.

If you have a 7-10 split, generally you will want to pick up the one point (almost guaranteed) instead of trying for a trick shot that is almost a guaranteed gutter ball. So unless someone is down and needs to pick up the spare, or unless

If the kid would alternate which training wheel is touching, then that would work. But once a side is picked they seem to center their balance between the back wheel and the one training wheel. I started off just barely raising it, and ev

You can still steer, since it is supported by the training wheel then the front wheel can be turned any direction as it isn't needed to be pointing a specific way to maintain balance. Also I'm talking about the training wheels bei

I tried that, and the kid will then just ride the bike with it leaning all the way to one side till the wheel hits the ground. I'd really like to see training wheels with adjustable spring tension. Gradually make the spring weaker so

The thing that's hard to come to terms with is that there is a wide range of incomes of all those that don't make enough money to save. That is, someone making 50K a year has just as much problems saving as those who make 30K. O
