The award has gone up a bit since, but the patent cube is still well and alive. My first arrives in a few weeks. Can confirm the stacks - knew a dev who used them as raisers for his monitors and consoles.

The emoji keyboard on Windows is one of my favorite improvements. Windows key + : (semicolon) or win +.(period) then start typing the name of the emoji you want. I initially dismissed it as a gimmick but now use it often when writing emails

Would a different social login provider be more acceptable? Github for instance? Something or someone that isn't as interested in using your data

Yes, and it is considered a different class of income than normal - so different tax rates usually.

The point of disclosure isn't to get a first order effect of preventing corruption (I don't know of any sensical mechanism that means publishing a name ensures it's not on a certain list). Obviously the government (should) kn

Macrobrew can also get away with adjuncts - making their beer from corn, and cheaper - while a craft brew audience is going to be wary of corn beer (unless specifically marketed as such) and expect a more expensive malt bill.

The high end of craft beer has flourished (Jester King, Perennial, Holy Mountain fetch insane prices imo on secondary markets and in person) but that didn't come at the expense of cheaper good beer too. Fremont makes 20 buck bombers bu

Agreed on Snipping Tool - win + shift + s is a daily driver for me. I really want to find the person who made it a shortcut and thank them.

Minor optimization for the phone image? Have it show the next flight that could reasonably be booked if I had the app installed, rather than one from 2017. As in, if you had this app, you could be on the (it's 2.05 right now) 2:30 pm

If you're open to questions, I'd be curious for your take on token binding as well, as that seems to be in the same ballpark (or same sport at least).

Not being familiar with the usage of SharedArrayBuffer, is disabling it the nuclear option (eg bad for everyone involved and clearly not the best option if others existed)? I see over 100 pages of commits on github referencing it, which tel

I appreciate the kind words. Yes, it's certainly not social media's sole fault, and as others have said down thread, there have always been other ways of keeping in touch. I certainly don't blame Facebook for not showing me a

This is something that's been on my mind as well, and I think an issue to take seriously by those at the levers. A friend recently took his life, and his FB account was deleted so I can't verify anything, but I can't help but

Ah, no, I don't believe so - colortool calls into kernel 32.dll to set the colors it looks like, so they're system wide. The github project linked in the second blog post would be a good spot to put a bug/feature request in t

Have you tried this out in recent Windows releases? We added 24-bit color support [1] to the console in Sep 2016, and built a colortool (that supports solarized) this summer [2]. Most of this should work, and we're all ears for things

Could you go into more detail here? Corrupt in what way? I haven't really heard this claim before, and the general idea that you shouldn't be taxed on non-discretionary income (e.g. buying milk, clothing, and paying taxes that mak

Fwiw, I've always used "log to" for writing out logs. "Log to stderr". So, you know, extra fun deciding what's "correct".

Braking and acceleration - once you get x tons of anything moving, it generally wants to keep moving. Trains are tens of times longer than trucks, brake significantly less often, and have a lot more horsepower for acceleration.

Does the currency they measure in impact anything? Every currency is correlated - they could measure in Swiss francs or yen and the result would still be the same I assume, otherwise there's arbitrage to be had.

By that logic the nail gun is invalidated by the prior art of swinging hammers... Automating a mechanism, or even just more efficiently automating it, should be patentable.
