Readable, understandable even (with a lot of "I bet this symbol does this"), but not writable. It may not be a meaningful comparison, but the commenting on the side is more reminiscent of assembly than a high-level language (i.e.

We've used CommandChannel for about 6 years without issue ($0.18/slot/month), but for some reason certs need to be manually renewed. Pinged it with the Mumble client I'm building and got a cert that expired in 2012. some

Correct. It can (will be able to) talk to npm, pip, RubyGems, cpan, the full gamut of package providers. Connecting to things like Windows Update, Microsoft Dev Center, etc. are also possible to implement.

The irony of course is that after the Apple engineering team spends months trimming off that extra millimeter of thickness, most of their users still go out and get an otterbox that triples the thickness. Of course, even if they designed an

If retaining data like that would land you in jail, you shouldn't be using cloud storage in the first place. Likely you'd be (rightfully) fired for doing so. Cortana can be disabled, or never turned on even.

You certainly work(ed) closer than I do, my experiences are mostly based off of what I see around me. I assume the kernel has changed quite a bit since Vista. I imagine that the POSIX system hasn't been entirely killed off quite yet,

In truth, neither do I. But Edge/Spartan follows the developers, and sometimes that involves being interoperable with poorly designed sites that have fallen prey to browser-specific prefixes. From a business sense, it works because if

The kernel is _very cool_. I get to work near it, and their description of the NT multi-headed setup helped change my mind about Microsoft engineering. e.g. the POSIX subsystem is just another NT usermode head, so it's incredibly perf

Partially correct. EdgeHTML was in IE11, but wasn't a renamed MSHTML (check your system32, you'll see both DLLs in Win10). It's a departure from MSHTML that's been seriously changed, lots of cruft removed and a lot of

I've absolutely listened to a song on the radio, or heard it while out and looked up the lyrics. Although actually typing out the first bit makes me see the limited (and still fading) utility of that scenario.

2 reasons to look up lyrics: "Ooh, what song was that?" -> lyrics -> link to buy song. "I want a good thing to quote on Facebook" -> other people look it up -> listen -> maybe buy. The former might give a

I'd assume for sound that it doesn't use headphones so much as bone conduction so that it doesn't get in the way of natural sounds. From the design, it seems that there's some kind of device-skull contact most of the way

If the speculation about creating opaque holograms is correct, you can just use a virtual blinder as well - a black hologram that obscures or creates a virtual stage.

Portland's mixed-use zoning regulations have been a great solution to the dead spots you note around garages. Off the top of my head, they require wider sidewalks and some kind of storefront on the first floor, both of which make the s
