How exactly do I transport a 10 foot ladder on a motorbike? Of course that’s a silly analogy—there’s no technical reason why Visual Studio couldn’t be ported to run on iPad.

The only time I’ve had anything close to a clog, it was as a young teenager and because of excessive quantities of toilet paper. And the solution was just to add more water into the bowl, which increased the water pressure in the s-trap and

I’ve used one. I didn’t see the point.

Much of the smell in a toilet is your butt, not the bowl. If smell is an issue, wipe sooner or do an intermediate flush. (Or take the hint and change your diet.)

I’m an Australian and I’ve never owned or used a toilet plunger in my life.

The idea was that simulator was for fast-as-possible turnaround for most stuff, but you’d just use a real device wherever specific hardware behaviours are being developed. I get the appeal of a more “complete” emulator, but such things are

The legacy mode would surely run MSHTML.dll for the entire page.

Microsoft should certainly make it easy for corporate deployments to re-enable iexplore.exe — but it shouldn't be available by default on your typical Windows 10 install. (It's already available to uninstall and reinstall as an &q

Your org should replace the (e) with a shortcut to Chrome—but with the name and icon changed to match Internet Explorer. Much easier than retraining all the monkeys.

Correct, iexplore.exe is itself a small wrapper. But that doesn't stop Microsoft from not shipping that small wrapper. Software that embeds mshtml.dll does not require the existence of the exe file. (Or alternatively, Microsoft could

What you describe is a valid reason for Windows to continue shipping with MSHTML.dll — not a valid reason to continue shipping the actual iexplore.exe GUI executable.

“Mitigated” normally only works in the positive, i.e. that something has reduced or compensated for problems. Here it appears to have been used as a negative, that something has reduced or compensated for benefits. It’s a subtle yet importa

The biggest security benefit is that competition motivates everyone to work harder, to explore alternative solutions, to raise expectations. Competition means investing in ideas like Rust and Servo. Without serious competition you eventuall

While I don’t suffer the pressure problem in any modern products (though I did in much older products) I still regularly use the QC35 half mode because — It’s not affected by wind noise, whereas the full mode is. So it’s great when walking

Google have certainly done a great job of maximizing the PR benefit from their security researchers. And it’s a great thing they’re doing. But regardless of how well individual companies market their respective security teams, Firefox has a

I only mention Vulfpeck because they're at the pinnacle of their genre, not because they're the threshold. There's plenty of opportunity for anyone. Look at akageorge. (If you can—previously known as George Barnett, he seems

Makes sense given that making new music is easier than ever before—the people who do it for the love of music are probably already making good-enough recordings on a shoestring. Just look at Vulfpeck: they've had massive success just d

We've devastated absurd quantities of woodland, marshland, plains, rainforest, river, beach and ocean ecosystems. Devastating a few microscopic specks of desert ecosystem seems like the least of our worries.

You’re correct that the file size of audio stopped being relevant many years ago. In a world of Netflix 4K streaming, even the most inefficient audio formats don’t move the needle. (If it did matter, which it doesn’t, it occurs to me that y

I agree with all of that; I only suggest 24 bits in order to shut up the people who can’t get over the idea of using 16 bits for wide dynamic range content. I just want the better mastering. I don’t care whether it takes extra placebo to ma

This could still be solved. Streaming services and digital music stores like Spotify and Apple Music could simply allow labels/artists to supply multiple masterings of the same tracks. One would be the default offering; the other would

Add to the list of your suspect observations those of Steele and his dossier. He was hired by Republicans before he was hired by Democrats. And his dossier was largely accurate—surprisingly so given that the target was (at the time) a wealt
