First off... iAds is something completely different from what you've just posted about. iAds was a platform available to developers. It has nothing to do with Apple providing advertisements to you. Second, did you read that page at all

Just want to add my thanks for iTerm2. Having an IRL Quake-style console at work just makes me feel like a kid all day long even though I'm not messing around anymore but doing real work. :-P

I'm not being a fool. The lawsuit must have worked out in their favor or they appealed. I worked for 2 separate computer manufacturers during that time where we were explicitly told not to refer to any of the portable computers as &quo

Not kidding at all. The entire industry made a huge hard stop and turn on the terminology around 2001/2001 after Dell was sued because a man claimed that his "laptop" burned his thighs/penis when the CPU/battery hea

That's why they're explicitly not referred to as laptops but notebook computers. It's the reason Apple calls them MacBooks only and not laptops.

A few things that I take issue with here: 1) Louis Rossman has a vested interest in drumming up attention for his videos and has, on multiple occasions, used false statements and misleading practices to do so. Just like in the initial relea

Yeah... even basic algebra requires that what you do to 1 side of the equation, you do for both and that definitely didn't happen here. There's no control at all in this analysis.

That might be the case but it's definitely not watching what you're doing, like you suggested. There may be prompts that are triggered by repeated actions (think hitting the Shift key 5 times in Windows and getting the Sticky Ke

Sorry, you're right. I did mean "trivial" rather than "non-trivial" but barfed the second out anyways. :-P I think that problem is much harder than just plain machine learning because you have to somehow gauge wha

Please share any device currently out there that can watch what you do and tell you where it can insert itself. We'll wait.

>Maybe there should be a mode you can turn on where Siri will watch what you do and when there are things you could do more quickly with Siri, it could tell you. You say that as if it's a completely non-trivial thing to implement.

Great. That's your prerogative. With Blue Apron, I didn't have to leave the house so it was incredibly convenient, the food was good, the variety of recipes was good, and I got to cook with ingredients that I never would have pick
646.
by dpkonofa 8y ago
That's nonsense. I have formal culinary training and Blue Apron was never about needing to learn how to read a recipe and cook with "a paint by numbers erector set". It was almost exclusively about the convenience and ease of

by dpkonofa 8y ago
I wonder if the added cost is worth it as far as freshness and quality are concerned. I know I'm not the typical case, but I never got a bad shipment from Blue Apron when I was using it. I really wish I could continue to use it but I j

Same. Windows is such a steaming pile of shit for me that I sometimes forget it's not normal for people to reformat and reinstall their OS every 6 months pre-emptively . I do a ton of development on new hardware and, most recently, va

Not only that but consumers can be punished for not recycling or disposing of these things properly and yet corporations not only don't have punishments for this stuff but they're incentivized to further increase the quantities pr

by dpkonofa 8y ago
According to the article, that doesn't work at all, though. Not only does the stuff not get sorted properly in the end but things that could have potentially been recycled are now unable to be recycled because they're contaminated
651.
by dpkonofa 8y ago
This is such a big part of it and it's amazing that they get away with it. Case in point: Blue Apron. Blue Apron positioned itself as one of the more "recycle-friendly" food delivery services to try and fight the stigma again

Yeah... a lot of articles like this seem to equate poor security practices like "using an encrypted disk with a non-encrypted root" with major issues in the OS. I do agree that it's an issue that thumbnails stored should be w

Yeah...they did goof a little on that. The examples where the eyes of the people depicted have been completely removed should make it obvious that there was some painting that was done after the plaster. It's a shame.

This is so key to discussions about an "accurate" restoration of a piece of art. Just look at the restorations done of classic films. There's so much argument, in many of these cases, about whether or not the restoration is t

That's an interesting solution to the problem. I'm curious as to how valid those "captures" are, though. It's clearly giving enough of a lead in time for action to be taken but I wonder if the majority of its effect

by dpkonofa 8y ago
Yeah, so? The point still stands. In any case, the most widely played version was the NES version which was released in 1989. That's close enough to the 90's to not make a marked difference in the point.

They even made a video game about you where you had to deliver newspapers while avoiding being attacked by unleashed dogs. Remember Paperboy? :)

Except that Cook has literally said, on a public call no less, that he doesn't care what the shareholders think if the decisions they make aren't in the best interest of their customers. I think a big issue for me, and for others

That's fine. You're more than welcome to use whatever mouse you want. I think you're mistaken in thinking that you're the end user in mind if you prefer to have a corded mouse. It's a wireless mouse. It's targe
