I've been convinced for a long time that much of this is a jobs program for staff ui/ux developers. The UI for AWS hasn't changed appreciably in ten years but they've still managed to redesign it at least three times in

VLC has been able to stream to/from devices since ~2000. It has captioning support but I don't know if that applies to music. I guess WinAmp came out in ~1998 but it added support for shoutcast in ~1999. The size of computer neede

A big part of what kubernetes provides is a standard interface. When your infra guy gets hit by a bus, someone else (like a contractor) can plug in blindly and at least grasp the system in a day or two.

We did this in the late 90s with an old 486 to see if it actually worked. That's the earliest I recall seeing this. We played doom on it. As you note, it created a giant mess and pretty much immediately went in the trash as soon as we&

OLED seems like a no brainer for a lifecycle refresh at the ~3-3.5 year mark. Particularly because they've done it before, and Valve very recently proved it's still a viable way to boost sales. Nintendo has had 7 years to prepare

It's not the best, particularly on desktop. I suspect most of the kids they have maintaining their legacy products like Office apps probably grew up on mobile devices and this looks "normal" to them for a desktop app.

A consumer-friendly front end to NOAA/NWS website, and adequate documentation for their APIs would be a nice start. Weather.com, accuweather and wunderground exist, but they're all buggy and choked with ads. If I want to track dai

Well, basketball courts have a ~12m diameter 3-point line, and the inside of a starship is ~9m. Swimming pools are mostly rectangular from the outside observer's perspective.

The big thing is that it dramatically reduces the cost of shipping things into space. Previously it was difficult to ship anything much larger than a compact car in to orbit. Now you can ship half of a basketball court into orbit, including

Going in the other direction, prior to the 5 1/4" disk drive (a true "floppy" disk) there was the (already rare by 1995) 8 inch floppy disk (and truly floppy) basically an enlarged 5.25" disk. Supposedly they only s
