You would want a dealer, and there are only a handful of machines in production at a time. Stern is the main one since Williams gave up. There are others, but Stern is the one people consider the most lately.

About a year and a half ago I bought 3 pinball machines along with a bunch of arcade boxes (and a shuffle bowler) as a lot. Price-wise it was a pretty good deal on the pinballs with everything else thrown in free. The pros: * Pinball is ver

But nobody talks about Netflix shows because there's no shared progress, so you can't even begin to discuss it with your friends until everyone is completely finished with. Then at that point, it's finished, why bother?

Windows only! It doesn't work on Mac! I honestly didn't know that was possible before that extension.

I was thinking of them, too. We could utilize the military directly rather than siphoning off their funding.

Your first paragraph is actually not really what the article is about. Rather, it's more about the government deciding to "build a subway" or whatever, and then hiring consultants to figure out what the hell that even means i

My supervisor and I once had a Teams meeting on the calendar that was created via Outlook. We both joined, and wound up in different meetings with the same id, wondering where the other person was... We never scheduled a meeting for Teams a

I used to use it (Zoom) constantly on Linux Mint, fwiw. I switched to Mac only because I couldn't get parts for a new desktop at the time. I miss Linux, though :/

> I assumed the route numbers are more of an American thing (although your comment seems to imply perhaps not)? In my area (Connecticut), it depends. Some streets are known by their route numbers, vs some streets have route numbers and m

I've been growing pretty dissatisfied with the state of electronic maps. Basic things that are usually either impossible or difficult while using Google Maps or Apple Maps for directions: - What road am I on? What town am I in? -

As someone also dealing with "your search sucks", I felt all of this pain. I think sticking with Postgres was a mistake, though. Denormalizing into something like ElasticSearch would probably have gotten you further (and it's

After switching to Roku for my TVs (so much better than FireTV, at least), I find it easier to just get the TCL Roku TVs now. They're cheap, and have the Roku built right into them. Plus it's all in one remote, and I can even turn

You can definitely use them at NYC startups. Very different market vs SV.

My first time using Oracle, I was trying to migrate magazine articles to a different DB system. Oracle "helpfully" and silently truncated the magazine content at a certain size, leaving most of the articles unfinished. The Oracle

It's been some time since I read it, but I would think the most challenging aspect of Neuromance would be in the visuals. If done well, they'd convey a good chunk of the book's worldbuilding and other descriptions, leaving mo

I'm pretty sure "unfilmable" means "any adaptions wouldn't be good".

There are millions of engineers in the USA that would, too. But few of the good ones from any of those places are going to want to.

Do those solve it? I don't really trust either. When everything is made in China anyway, sometimes those garbage-looking Chinese brands are just as good as or better than the name brand stuff, and sometimes they aren't. Some brand

I think "boilerplate code" came from the legal term, but the article dives deeper to figure out where the legal system got it in the first place.

Lots of different opinions here, but: My company has moved several "regular" websites to serverless. In fact, we just took the existing websites (which were often Django, sometimes huge ones) and dumped them into Lambda. The exact

You may be over-doing it. Most robo-calls wait for a second "hello?". So you can say it once, then wait a bit for a human to answer normally. Then if they don't, you just hang up, as the computer is waiting for that 2nd &quot

They measured the intake side, though, so it was more of a vacuum effect. Would a windscreen still make a difference in that scenario?
