I've found eBay to have a much more trustworthy reputation system. I cannot overstate the irony I find in this reversal: In the early days of Amazon vs. eBay in online retail, a huge brand point for Amazon was its reliability and tru

The narrative in the article also misses the following point, which I've seen many times over the years, in both game dev and non-game dev shops: It is massively unprofessional to ship an Easter Egg without broad consent to do so. P

I highly recommend checking out the Samurai Collection[1] referenced here, if you can get to one of its showings – it travels around quite regularly. The exhibit is great, both in size (good, but not overwhelming) and presentation details.

Braid, not knit. The first sentence gets it right: Bertha (pictured above) is an automated braiding machine. But the title and later in the article, the author uses "knit", which is an entirely different structure with differen

The parent nailed it. It's easy to complain about PHP from various standpoints both pragmatic and PL-centric, but it has an amazing superpower which might be summed as "serverless for the web, v0".

I'm not sure if patent exhaustion applies since QTL (licensing) and QTC (chip-making) are technically two separate business entities (subsidiaries). I wasn't aware of that; that's quite interesting. But it's unclear w

How is Qualcomm's approach supposed to work under US patent law? That Qualcomm made no money seems immaterial – either they licensed (e.g.) Intel to use their IP, or they didn't. In the former case, patent exhaustion should app

I wonder about the lifetimes and user engagement between examples from Amazon and Google. It's interesting that my off-the-cuff impression is that Google gets into hot water here by letting its experiments 1) run for a long time, 2)

As a pre-Quantum Tab Groups user, I find that Simple Tab Groups is considerably more stable and has a slightly better UX than the old support. So A+ for that. I still feel like there's some missing "secret sauce" here, but

Indeed. But it's worth noting that these dogs were prevalent before sheep's wool was introduced to the Pacific Northwest. That's noted above the "extinction" section, but was a driving factor in the breed's d

Having studied with a Coast Salish weaver, apparently there are some ongoing attempts to (re)create an analogous modern breed of dogs. Of course, the high accessibility and low cost of industrial wool yarn makes that the default for weaver

As a fairly experienced woodworker, I have another angle on this: the SawStop is a band-aid on the typical American "cabinet saw" design. Cabinet saws (and worse, contractor jobsite table saws) invite doing really dumb things re:

I disagree. Case in point: there are websites that sell ad space the "old fashioned way" meaning they're directly paid by the advertiser, they get a predetermined format and placement, text-only with a link. Absolutely no JS
