For those that haven't seen it, this isn't the first time (or even the second time) that Microsoft has released a POSIX layer for Windows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_POSIX_subsystem https:/

I'd love to have something like Netflix but with every movie ever. I'd even be willing to pay a reasonable fee per movie to stream them. I have hope that companies with a business model like VidAngel could legally provide that.

If appropriate for your use case, you can get your domain added to the public suffix list [1]. Then the restrictions no longer apply. This has side-effects with browsers and cookies so you wouldn't want to do it on a domain without un

Can you elaborate about how revenue recognition has bitten smart people? I wasn't familiar with the term until you mentioned it but I think I have a handle on it now. I'm guessing an example would be counting a prepaid yearly pla

That's precisely the sort of distraction that this app forces you to ignore. Just insert something like <another word for crap that starts with e> and keep writing.

Someone probably opened up a browser on a server to look something up and then left it running. With a static IP and battery backup, only a reboot is likely to take it down. The connection should be able to survive short outages due to a

I think it's a matter of price. GPS receivers are cheap and widely supported by timekeeping software. The cheapest atomic clock I can find is $1,500, but it's a hard thing to search for since the term is used to refer to radio-s

Would it have been possible to launch supplies and a repair kit to the shuttle using a more traditional unmanned rocket launch? I imagine the preparation time for those rockets is less than the shuttle and that it'd require a much smal

If anyone here hasn't played Kerbal Space program, try out the demo. It's less of a game and more of a space rocket simulator, with a real physics engine. I learned a lot by playing it. I'm not in any way affiliated with th

It'd be nice to call it a stellar system for consistency, but that already means a group of interacting stars. Planetary system or exoplanetary system seems to be the right term to use.

No, he has an objection to them dropping support for "bower", which is a package manager for javascript files. It does seem like a typo of "browser", so I can see where the confusion would come from.

Check out LTE direct for a potential future technology that would have a much better range than wifi and bluetooth, which could potentially make this sort of thing workable.

Pricing is falling rapidly for storage. Consider that S3 - IA is $15/mo for a TB, and backblaze B2 can offer 1 TB for $5/mo. I would assume both are making some profit at those price points, so $12/TB/mo should be work

It's pretty easy to use venmo without giving them your banking information. That's how I've been using it for years. You just have to be willing to carry a balance. What I did is went to a coworker who has venmo and gave h

This is a great solution, in my opinion. Perhaps it could include the browser version instead: -chrome-46-faster-font-engine: This will allow any developer to opt in, with an explicit understanding that when the next browser versi

The change was to add a new index and then remove the old one. It's something that would have passed review. The cause was a defect in the tooling. The requests weren't tied together in the way they were displayed and so the DBA

2TB of RAM would cost $31k or so when built out of 32GB chips. I don't know if EC2 is done this way, but imagine if the T2.micro class was running on these servers (to save physical footprint). At 1.3¢ per hour, the server would bring

I don't think it's the fundamental reason but the checksum doesn't need to be recomputed at every stem, which used to be touted as a major advantage. (I imagine processing power at the router level is cheap enough now that t

This seems possible by simply doubling the battery size, along with modest improvements to efficiency. Sure, it'd add another 1200 pounds, but that's still lighter than a pickup truck. With a price drop due to the gigafactory, th
