But the video didn't actually really show you much of anything. The first 20 seconds were straight up pointless. Anytime they showed information it was in text that was way too small unless you watched it full screen on your desktop.

Every move causes the whole page to flicker in Chrome on my box which makes it pretty unplayable.

Same here, and without the carrot of "free shipping" it is much easier to just place an order elsewhere now.

You get free shipping with orders over $35. After I heard they were going to increase the price I did a quick check on last year and found that I buy more than I thought on Amazon and if I just let stuff accumulate in the cart for on avera

The really sad thing is that I have tried several times to search for content that I know exists on G+, but I can't find it, even when I knew the author. After the third time failing at this my usage of G+ dropped significantly. Of

Very interesting, even with a big investment to try to scale their tooling that doesn't happen overnight. At the very least it could be a difficult/fun challenge for someone to take on.

One of the more interesting things about factories is that a facility that has a robots doesn't guarantee high throughput. If the robot can work 10 times faster than the rest of the line does that mean it is mostly idle or does it wor

[citation needed] on the 400k, but at least on wikipedia the average number is 6000/week. At 3 shifts/day * 5 days gives the really too nice and round 400 / shift (or almost 1 a minute off all lines give a 7 hour production)

The readme really doesn't give a good indication of what it is. A screenshot in the markdown might go a long way depending on what it actually does. I mean it sounds like it overloads every single menu bar command for whatever applica

QNX (which BB bought a few years ago) has a QNX Car Platform, for example here is a press release with some details on it from last year. http://www.qnx.com/news/pr_5602_1.html So they might be using the car platfo

I also flagged it. How much an asset is worth and how much the operating costs are very different things. It was a pointless comparison. Launching a satellite is just a cost like taking a plane trip across the country. The end result is

Think of a phone not as a phone, but more like a really cheap way to have a portable computer with a screen and battery that you can put sensors on. It comes in the phone package because the industry is very much geared to churning out tha

Maybe ten years ago I would have said that, but these days it seems they are typing their "documents" into an email composer or a website form (be it a frontend for blogger, wiki, wordpress, etc).

Unless you leave on Jan 1st you will be "screwed over" even if you worked there for [long time]. Knowing that before you even start when you leave you will be taking a hit stinks.

Except they were almost all had text like #pepsi, indicating the place to talk about this commercial is only on Twitter.

You should go to a coffee shop, and buy people a coffee in trade for looking at your entry in itunes, see what they think and if they can describe what the game does. You probably want to re-word the description as I am only guessing at ho

Yup, there are many, many times when I want to be able to do simple things with C or C++ code. Writing a little static analyzer tool that can check some internal code for a practice we have found harmful, parse some headers to automaticall

So every month if I update I will be required to fix my application to work with the new versions of the library. Perhaps say 25% of my time will be _only_ on maintenance? And from what I recall things are not deprecated for a while, but

"Web apps are a good solution some of the time (except for that little detail called IE!)." This statement makes very little sense. You say that you can't use web apps because you would require client have a specific app (ch

While a class/library/etc might be used by chrome and all of its many users, it was originally designed to solve an issue for the browser and it might have a horrible api for anything else or much more likely be completely missing

I know that you are an ex-chrome dev so this is all moot as Chrome is the code you knew when you started, but really that is exactly what QtCore + QtNetwork is for. You don't have to use any of the GUI bits when you use Qt if you don&

I'm surprised he didn't mention GitHub. You can't ignore the luck that the guys that made GitHub used Git.
