The obvious solution is to use a touchscreen with cheap plastic buttons that sit on the touchscreen and emulate touch.

Brave automatically changed my default search engine on private tabs to their search. I don't know if it was a bug or feature, but this kind of behaviour keeps me wary from committing.

Why does it cost so much to file a patent? Isn't one able to draft and submit an application by themselves?

Ok, I wasn't being very accurate. More correctly, we do not know why outer stars in the galaxy rotate at the same speed as inner stars. As per gravitation laws, the farther the star is, the slower it should rotate. But they all rotate

I don't believe we have yet managed to conduct an experiment to detect dark matter. We have observations that seem to contradict Einstein, but no experiment that concludes. I believe a couple of experiments are currently underway, exci

You can easily hit 100k rps on a typical NOSQL cluster. Scaling it to 100 million is just a matter of running a few thousand instances. Of course, operating a system with thousands of nodes is an engineering feat, but from a design perspect

Processes I understand, could you give some examples of tooling/rulesets that one could use?

This is something I've never understood. Food additives, flavourings and colours do not get the same level of scrutiny as medicines. If you launch a new medicine into the market, you not only have to demonstrate its efficacy for the tr

Great article. Calling APIs RESTful because they return JSON has always been a peeve of mine. But here's the question though, why do APIs need to be RESTful? What is the need for a client to have no knowledge of the server, if the serv
