This is the problem that needs to be solved. Cloud storage and p2p are solutions looking for a problem, but it would be nice to let them distract us too much.

Even worse, the hex sockets are often just a bit too large so that even proper tools won't fit. Ikea also has some special screws that are not really Phillips, Pozidrive or any other standard so there just isn't a driver that woul

Good point about embedded, smart pointers aren't that great when you try to avoid allocating memory at runtime and never free it anyway. RAII is still useful for managing other lifetimes, though. The last time I worked on embedded stuf

Just asking because I'm curious: What are the parts of C++ that you actually use? To me RAII and managed pointers are by far the most useful features in C++, followed by templates (think of them as type safe macros with slightly less h

At that time you'd have been mercilessly about mIRC. It's a client program, and you'd be on IRCnet, EFnet or QuakeNet, and the the last one would earn you endless disrespect from IRCnet veterans.

Priorities tend to shift when your whole team has already been laid off, the product line cancelled and you still have the ability to make something flashy to put on your CV (again, I wasn't there myself). And probably there were a few

Ok, I misunderstood. I thought it was clear at that point that Meego was a dead end, but Harmattan was missing things like app sandboxing and some app store and payment related features, the package management was a mess, etc.

The version of the story I was told that the Maemo/Moblin mashup was just as bad as the idea of combining two different frameworks that do essentially the same thing sounds like, nowhere near production ready, and the Harmattan aka Mee

Standard subscription. I doubt the dynamic range is because of non-HDR, because it's flat compared to other non-HDR content. Or maybe they compress non-HDR on purpose so that HDR content looks better in comparison?

The thing is that just like it was said in the TFA, The Sandman looks flat and saturated compared to anything on Amazon Prime or Apple TV that coincidentally have much higher bit rates. Maybe it's intentional attempt to make the show l
