It seems a bit odd having a Twitter API status page that claims everything is operational when it hasn't been for a while. I guess the 'Check if things are working' API has also failed

However it's still currently good enough to get an average person to their destination if their GPS enabled device has run out of battery and they happen to have a map and compass on them.

I've been with the company 20 years so wasn't involved in the original decision. I believe the company started out on PDP's before moving to MicroVAX (and later Alpha and Integrity). BASIC will likely have been the best fit a

I tried it in HP BASIC. (Played with a few terminal emulator settings and this is the best I got) https://imgur.com/a/N6QSkXB

I do so professionally. Our 35+ year old application is written in what was once VAX BASIC running on OpenVMS (Now on Integrity and called HP BASIC).

I don't mind the UI so much, besides the speed. My issue is that sometimes it just doesn't work. I click on an email to open it and nothing happens, even if I wait a while. I end up having to reload the page. It's somewhat fr

Do they need a manual rating now with so many subscribers? If lots of people give up watching something after 15 minutes then it could be considered "not very good", and if people watch something multiple times then it could be &q

It would be more useful if in the version they could use the year that most people will likely have a browser that supports these, rather than the year they were introduced

With the X they had the opportunity to make the phone the same thickness as the camera and fill the gap with extra battery - just to see if folk would prefer the flat back and extra battery life over the sticking out camera. Sadly they miss

I'm over 40 and where I work the average age of the developers have been over 40 for a fair while. Fortunately I work for a company supplying a vertical market where they value experience.

I'll have to give it a try, it can't be any worse than the previous versions, can it?

I tried using Edge, but just get a "This app can't open" message. I'm sure I could fix it if I wanted to but it's easier to just run Chrome.

I'm surprised that with Google's image detection technology that Gmail doesn't do image recognition on images with links where the image look like popular document attachment, and send them to spam. Or perhaps they do but t

My first inkjet printer was a HP Deskjet 500. It was fantastic (for its day and my requirements), robust and seemingly lasted forever. I eventually upgraded to something that did colour, but no printer I've had since, HP or otherwise h

Unfortunately despite their best efforts, the BBC are not necessary as clued up as they could be on the tech reporting front. They likely compare it to an RPi because they look vaguely similar from a distance, if you're short sighted.

Stack Overflow appears to be starting to suffer from Wikipedia editor syndrome. All is well until a few people suddenly realise they have a bit of power and instead of using it for good, decide to just yield it just because they can, puttin
