My ZBook from 2014 is apparently made of sturdy plastic but the keyboard is built on a metal base and it fits in metal hooks on the chassis. It does not flex at all. The problem with this machine is that sooner or later I'll run out of

I've got uBO on my Android Firefox and the form is visible. UMatrix shows only first party css, no js at all, which is good. You might have other extensions. View source on my phone shows a very simple HTML page with a form that posts

Actually komi in go solves the problem that black won nearly all the even games between strong players, except when white was an exceptionally strong player. Hence the original 4.5 points komi about 100 years ago. The half point is the part

When starting from scratch: yes. When maintaining a mature application: no, because then you need to keep in sync the app and balsamiq and there is neither the time nor the will for that. And the money.

Small houses don't need a signal that travel through many walls. Probably no roof and floor too. So you can trade speed for range and have no overlaps with neighbors. Instead large houses need signals that go through roofs, floors and

Many countries would have to buy nuclear fuel from other countries much like they do for gas and oil. On the other side very few countries can build their own solar panels so it seems the same sort of problem. However if you accept to depen

Days ago I read an interview in which somebody from Isar said that they would be happy to get 30 seconds of flight time. They would learn a lot from the data. It's more or less what happened.

Because they could want to offer WiFi Aware in the EU and AWDL anywhere else, even in the long term. And switch back to AWDL everywhere if the EU stops mandating interoperability some day in the future.

I was also thinking about VPNs but the static copy still has to serve a lot of traffic so I don't know if that's an economically viable solution. Furthermore it creates a market for VPN credentials, but that's another issue.

It's not about a monopoly. That word never occurs in the document. It's about interoperability and nurturing a market. I quote from the EU document > connected devices of all brands will work better on iPhones. Device manufactu

Even the same customer has projects with Ruby ranging from 2.7 to 3.4 so I'm using the oldest possible syntax. The changes in keyword args hit hard some projects. Luckily not the one I'm working on most of my time.

I add to your point and to parent's one. I do use touchscreens when I've got one on a laptop or on a tablet with keyboard and desktop apps. The reason is precisely what you wrote: pushing buttons in front of us at close reach is f

The examples on the home page are a nice way to quickly show the features of a language. I'll check the documentation to see how to work with files, make HTTP calls, parse JSON. It's the first time in more than 10 years that I act

The new owner of Chrome can sell it to the manufacturers of Android devices. Royalties. They can even make it closed source or enforce a not for commerce license. That would make manufacturers choose between paying those royalties, installi

It is possible that prices would go down but that will be an incentive to rent instead of selling. So less houses on the market. That could keep the prices up. And no matter how low the price is, if people have no savings and no credit even

The point of a signature on paper is that (at least in my country) you can summon somebody in court and ask "is this your signature"? If they say it is, it is, even if it does not look much like any of their other signatures. Then
