It seems relatively absurd to assume you could plausibly replace the subject of a photograph only to be stymied by the inability to do the same to a small photo on a card. Unless the illegal loan outfit also has access to the national id ph

Ah yes and also the vendor helpfully changed the API and did a complete rewrite in v11.0. Think about all the neat new things you will get to learn!

Build and abandon makes total sense for Google. They are participating in an IP land rush. Expect this to accelerate. The engineers that Google hires to keep them from working for competitors are used to build as many new products and featu

We have a government customer with PHP in their list of technologies that we are prohibited from employing in service of their contract. I thought it was kind of random to single out something that we never intend to use, but in their minds

Little apps like this demonstrate why the touchbar really is a useful user interface for certain things. Had Apple had the good sense to introduce it without removing an entire row of keys used heavily by the developers tasked with writing

I do not have any particular comment on this gene or the topic of COVID-19, but I have a related question for the experts out there. Let's say I were to send off to Dante labs and get my entire genome sequenced. Given emerging research

It's an acronym which fell too deep into its niche; a check word used to advertise one's legitimacy as a person on the other side of the curtain.

Actually actually, now you can use any old USB cable, even the charging cable that comes with the Quest works for Link. The quality is a bit reduced on USB2.0 but honestly still totally fine. The thing that most amazes me about how well thi

I would disagree that this is an "edge case;" it's a rather fundamental feature of DNS that is relied on every time a record from one domain references a record in another domain. The dot at the end fully qualifies the name a

I recall at that particular time I just reeled off the prologue, but I was always partial to the Monk's tale. The reason is silly. One of the first times I heard any of it read out loud, it was an English prof with an extreme Southern

When I was learning to read Middle English I found that learning to pronounce it out loud helped a tremendous amount; it made the whole process a lot easier for me, and it helped others understand it as well since I could impart some contex

While I really respect the need to preserve these places as-is, I can't help but wonder if these AR/VR/virtual presence platforms could be a great way to give us a view into how these places may have looked when they were or

Before the helium price dive I had calculated the break over was wells with approximately 6% He concentration; the problem is the places that have this don’t have gas gathering systems and anything you try to do with the gas makes it unecon

If you are discussing US natural gas reserves, PUDs are three orders of magnitude higher at over 700Tcf. Going beyond this, some estimates put unproven unconventional supplies at over 700Tcf in-place in the Anadarko basin alone. Considering

It works but is super super inefficient, and actually using hydrogen directly as a fuel also has huge drawbacks, primarily due to the fact that it is prone to detonate vs simply combust. Unfortunately I don’t believe hydrogen is going to ev

With all due respect, you may have built an effective tool to suppress malware, but I would be more excited had you addressed the complaint in the article. It remains difficult if not impossible for a brand new developer to coordinate a new

I feel that this sort of problem exists because people like you are WAY to embedded in this niche to feel like you can talk about it any other way. The website looks really pro, but its just technobabble. And that is coming from someone who

What this really does is train users to bypass protections. As anyone who has owned a mac can attest, I now basically think nothing of the potential perils of doing "right click -> open -> ok" because I have to do it ALL THE

You don't have to wait for the full fleet to cycle before you can use L2C or L5. L2C is already 15 years into its rollout and is widely available despite still being "pre-operational" due to it not having 100% coverage at all
