I think all of the Desktop environments do poor to terrible on internal search. I remember using a utility on Windows that just kept a live indexed filename database because Windows search couldn't even find filenames correctly at the

They are not, but they should have very good logistics capability for disaster areas with damaged/nonexistent infrastructure.

That sounds pretty reasonable and interesting for prototyping, but also possibly heavy weight to run as a "browser". But I think it's basically what we seem to be moving towards anyway - if we could securely run it, the simpl

You don't even need a separate processor, grab one of the ARM SoCs with Big/Little cores, control the camera in bare-metal /hard real time in the little core, and keep Android on the big core(s). There's some low-level d

Perhaps go back to a sandbox VM model where you access an URI that's a program with attached data objects. Maybe have a standard for updatable "peripheral" modules, but provide standard sandboxed storage, display, messaging,

I don't know about this particular case, but a lot of times when one looks more deeply at two things that are the "exact same substance", one finds that they may be primarily the same substance, but there are a number of surr

I think the disconnect to be bridged here is the quality expectations between a meal kit ingredients, and just picking up ingredients at the supermarket yourself. I don't think the kits coming out of just reassembling the existing inve

Especially that main drive belt! It's not a normal belt. It looks like you'd need a flexible material that would accept making high-aspect, thin teeth.

Ok, I have to ask. What's wrong with dd?

How are they sustaining that free trading? If it's on VC money, then I worry what exactly happens to shares if the firm shuts down. Who is actually holding the shares becomes a critical question in that circumstance. Edit: I see a $110

It could be some high power RF field and either be a sidelobe of an antenna pattern, or just a "moire" reinforcement of multiple transmitters.

A nitpick would be that open office is probably pretty great for mission control/control rooms where some complex event is being coordinated as it unfolds in real time. But I don't think NASA engineers necessarily develop in such

I'm not pushing for any particular interpretation here, but that cattle process could be viewed as early industrialized animal production made possible by the railroad. Graze in open areas, drive a bunch a cattle to centralized markets

A lot of these could be mitigated if phone makers were willing to put in a slightly larger capacity battery and apply more conservative max-min limits in their battery management system. But I guess companies are happy to keep sales up via

Productivity gains seem to be dropping and one theory is that companies are getting larger, but aren't able to pickup efficiency/new value generation boosts from acquisitions like they once were able to (at an economy wide scale,

Then the smaller firms could be acquired. As it is, because of the slowing new-company generation, large firms have been getting fewer and fewer options. Small firms can take risks to create new products and processes which can then be acqu

That takes me back, fbdev was pretty useful for embedded linux configured with no X, dedicated Qt apps... or even just for putting up the all important custom boot splash screen.

Yup, for me the current Apple lineup is a bit more than needed in the 13in Mac Pro, and a little low in the Macbook. And neither are giving real battery life/perf ratio that I'm looking for - so there's a gap. If not Apple th

ESPN is a big reason that non-sports watchers cut the cord - why subsidize costly sports channels for everyone else? If the demographic data is right, non-sports watchers are a larger proportion of younger demographics.
