I have mostly stopped using Google Gmail because they still can't do something simple like... I don't know... sort by sender? They keep changing the interface, but they never seem to improve the utility.

I have heard that the HQ2 is supposed to be a kind of "domed city." If it is Crystal City, Amazon HQ2 has started a infrastructure formation using a subscription with a DCaaS.

This story comes out every fall for every major-ish November election period. The resolution is always the same: WONTFIX.

How do you blacklist the site? Because I'm thinking that would be an interesting extension or browser feature of an anti-bookmark.

America is developing in exactly the way the systems we like to use dictate they should grow. Here it is a transportation issue--in the opposite way you might think. Older towns in the mid-west are spaced apart roughly 6-miles because you w

Just walked through a Dollar General store today while waiting for lunch. They make Big Lots stores feel like Nordstrom. If you are struggling I can see the appeal of the "low prices" but the value of what you can get there isn&#x

I think it's because government and electrical utility systems have a weird regulatory setup. Many utility systems have to petition to alter their prices with these governments. No one ever asks to "reduce" prices voluntarily

They are down to nine system calls, perhaps they can "pledge" the rest away after the container bootstraps? I am thinking of what OpenBSD has been designing: https://man.openbsd.org/pledge.2

This would make a lot of sense, they essentially get a "game day" with actual sales, make a lot of money and a few months to prepare for the next wave of seasonal mob-shopping. I don't think they're using Perl anymore ho

This made me smile. :) This is very close to to Poe's law as well, because after all, who can tell for sure if something that simply just went-wrong was intentional or not?

After reading Ryan Holiday's "Trust Me I'm Lying" and knowing how well AWS usually handles surges of traffic, I am not so sure that this isn't a marketing stunt that gets them an amazing amount of press. Cynical?

The website doesn't demonstrate it on the "front" page. But the effect is so subtle I didn't even notice it on the "individual"'s page, probably due to a color display limitation of a laptop screen. I woul

Is there an explanation of what a "beelinereader" is? Their website is heavy on the selling and lacking on the details and I'm not installing something blindly.

WRT emptying the inbox as completely as you can: Unsubscribing everything you can that you receive e-mail is a big deal. I don't even care if you're a fan of the product or blog, unsubscribe from the mailing lists. Just do it. Y

This is the "homework" that is often given out by organizations looking to hire people that filters out those who "can" and those who "cannot."

Firefox Quantum is almost perfect except occasionally something pegs it to 100% CPU making it unresponsive on a lower power laptop. I'm disappointed when Google Hangouts reminds me that they have not made it work with anything not-Chro

ABC. Always be closing. Closing on skills, demos, phone calls, e-mails. Just finished a Node.js "assessment" for a job opportunity and uploaded it to my Github. I may never touch it again, but there it is.

I have an old tablet that doesn't seem to "catch" new updates from Samsung anymore. Perhaps it would be worth rooting or something just to get it current? I would "upgrade" the software if it was available. Buying

I've been using the developer edition of Firefox and have been finding it to be a joy. It is very odd how Chrome stopped having the "knack" of being extremely fast. Edge on Windows 10 claimed to be fast, but I think that it w

Would be interesting to see how this would translate into a memristor-based CPU in the future.

Paper is fantastic for auditing and archival. You can't sanitize your dirty deeds if you can't prevent your sins from appearing on the souls of dead trees locked in their fire-proof chambers. Until we start using content-hashing

The east side of Kansas surrounding Kansas City is hardly flat. It's no Utah, but flat? Kansas City most certainly is not that. The drive down to Witchita from Topeka certainly has its own class of wonderful views akin to what you woul

Don't have Github account so I can't place an issue there, but PDF export appears to fail with source-code listings in the Gaia theme. Otherwise, this application is simple and to the point for making quick slide sets. I wonder if

Indeed. When I launched the replay of the live stream at whatever point it was, when I heard the wild cheering I knew they had finally landed a first-stage at sea before I even saw the footage of that supersonic toothpick landing.
