It’s a browser made by an advertising company. They’ve made a few decisions lately that have shown that fact (recent changes that have placed limits on third party ad blockers, for example). It’s also gotten more bloated lately. They’ve al

Libby/Overdrive? It’s great, except for the 12 weeks I’m waiting for most of the books I want, then they become available during time that I don’t have to read.

When Airbus released the A320neo , Boeing needed to get a comparable plane out ASAP or else cede several (tens of even) thousands of plane sales to Airbus over the next decade. There wasn't the time to design a whole new plane, so they

I'd like to know as well. At my work we had to partner with a major bank and they demanded a fully signed (sigh) client certificate for the integration. The way their API works means that we have to do a planned hard-cutover before t

Well that's stupid. If I wanted American throw-back nostalgia, I'd watch Saved by the Bell, the Wonder Years, or something set there.

Check your local library. Mine (Toronto) has a feature that you can link your card and via the library portal and get full access to the NYTimes (except for the crossword). Works with the native NYTimes apps, too. Only annoying thing is

The fact that you’re having to clarify your points to everybody means your wording implied otherwise.

Luck and timing play into it, but so does design and usefulness. Keep in mind the state of the world when the iPod came out. College kids sharing MP3s across school networks, etc. If you used microsoft's media players, by default th

Actually, Ballmer did quite well at MS. He consistently increased earnings via Windows and Office during his tenure as CEO. He was a very good businessman. He was not, however, a product guy. Witness their failures with the Zune, mobil

Is ZFS more solid than in Linux? Yes, considering ZFS was originally developed by Sun for Solaris. It's been 8 years since I've been a Solaris admin, but we ran production DB workloads on JBODs with ZFS with no problems. Though

At a startup I worked for, the founder once told me how surprisingly little due diligence was done for their series A. They showed the investors the product, explained the industry and their goals, signed some papers, and a week after the

In theory, the debt could also be "monetized", meaning converting it to cash via the fed. That should also lead to inflation, but that may be politically easier than raising taxes.

Less competition or local producers not being able to make the desired quantities (at least right away) means prices can be higher.

For me, it was the more modern tab completion. Traditionally, you'd start typing something, then TAB to complete if there was a file starting with something. With oh-my-zsh, you can use a later part of a file. So if you had a file c

Most responses I've read to that op-ed were extremely negative. To blame the fed for not constantly cutting rates in response to the random and sudden actions of a mercurial (to put it nicely) president is not a bad look for the fed.

For shell scripting, no bash is still very much the champion there. For interactive shells, I'm seeing very high usage for zsh (mostly due to oh-my-zsh) and a handful of fish users. Essentially lots power terminal users.

Most of linux's userland is GNU, including the well-used bash,gcc,grep,tar,ls,etc (it's why he rather annoyingly insists on people calling it GNU/linux). So to say nobody uses it is very, very false. Nobody uses the GNU kerne

Preach, brother! At a previous company we use zfs snapshots to do with Solaris containers what we now do with docker. We had push-button revertible containers(zones) for developers to muck around and test with circa 2009 and we could send
