Knowing the IP is pretty useless. The closest you can get publicly if you know that is the general region, but this app is already a nearby radius app, so you already know that. If you have law enforcement powers you can try to get the subs

I don't know about France, but in the US I never use Wifi, since often I have to go through some stupid sign up page to actually use it and my LTE cell data is usually faster anyway. I might have my Bluetooth on, though. So the number

Would be nice if they listed how many jobs are in their DB. Last time I tried I couldn't login due to a server error. Next time I tried they didn't list anything for me. Even when I went back and added a little of everything inste

It isn't user friendly, but often with that type it doesn't care what you enter for the tough to read world. The easy to read word is your test. The other is a way to harness people to do difficult OCR tasks. Some web sites have h

Really bad news for strong Java shops and developers. This move away from Java byte code probably means very little hope for Java 8 compatibility in Android any time soon. For myself, I wrote Java server code for a decade before writing And

"in SF" - that is not affordable. If you are trying to save money you live somewhere on the BART or Caltrain and take the train into the city every day. My rent in East Palo Alto the year I was there was $400/month all utilit

What's really sad is that Yahoo is already giving 51% to the creators of other images, so they had to intentionally complicate their product and extend development time to distinguish between who to pay nothing to and who to pay. The a

It would be nice if he had more data in this essay. His findings don't match my own. As a software engineer, all the nice people tend to just hand wave and OK and write kind of crappy, worthless features and implementation that don&#x2

I don't think you read the article very far. Yes, he started with an averaged face (which then matched nothing, by the way). Then he added (I'll simplify for you) random dots to it until it matches something. Thus it is a reverse

Don't really agree with it at all. I like a reliable partner who has supported me for a long time, not just going after someone new like it recommends. I don't like censorship. Seems very European, I guess, so maybe better for tha

It doesn't sound like they have been to very many. The majority of the people at a hackathon actually go home at night. Quite a few don't even stay the full day. It's perfectly OK. I used to stay from Friday night to Sunday n

I don't think they have the power, but they can impose regulations and fines Google would have to pay to do business in their area. I think it would be great for the ecosystem if Google was no longer allowed to put their own products a

Technically I think Google claims their search technology is invented and produced in their Ireland version of the company and just licensed to the US one or something like that to defraud the US from taxes. So it is actually more UK/E

It's dead with consumers. Business use cases can make sense, though. If you can make a warehouse picker 5% more efficient you can easily save the cost of the device, etc..

Wow, performance for SVG is really bad.

I don't see any mention in that entire wiki page of marking the edges of pages vertically for reference when looking at the book from the side. In fact it flat out misses it in the examples, "pointers are typically page numbers, p

They could fix their terrible app approval process if they really want more people on their platform. I tried to fix up a hackathon entry and submit it as a production app recently, I annotated what every permission was used for, submitted

I don't like the right to be forgotten implementation and social implications either, although we do have something slightly related in California that does work. Web sites you login to have to have a privacy policy, profile page, and

You need READ_PHONE_STATE for the Android ID, so it is pretty common to include just to get a unique identifier for the device.

Not certain their use case of brush size has any relevance. Most graphics designers have a tablet and can easily set brush size to pressure control, or they just hold down the hot key that lets you adjust brush size by moving your mouse&#x2

Skipping meetings is not the way to do well at work, no matter how unproductive you are in the morning. It's the way to get fired. If you care about your job, stop doing anything except lying in bed in the dark at 10PM, take some sleep

I've had similar issues on Google Glass, which has no auto-focus. Commercial libraries like Scandit and even the paid app by the zxing author have better support for blurry images and are able to handle, for example pixels which are pa

I don't really understand why these would be better. Looking at his proposed New York one and the real New York one, the real one is clearly easier to read. Adding a background image that overlays the text makes it harder to read the t

How so? A brand new 49cc moped is around $2k in the states. This is a low production scale electrical vehicle with no gas use for half that.

Too bad they aren't TTF. I've noticed only some Android phones can manage to render OTF. I've had trouble with meteocons being reliable specifically, which I see used here.

they've always been ridiculously expensive. amusingly, they were made by Monster up until a year or two ago. so a cheap pair of Beats would just be Monster headphones anyway, not Beats.
