The only way to fix the crux of the YouTube "problem" is to force Google to disclose how their subscription and recommendation algorithms work. The reaction from YouTube top brass to previous demands of transparency have been to

Good! Now, let's ditch indefinite and definite articles. Yet more unneeded fluff.

Twitter could fix this in no time by adding an alert next to a recently changed name (within a few days) and/or a list of previous names. Steam figured this stuff out years ago.

Off the top of my head: * Some VGM formats (game music) are compressed with rar * Certain 90s game mods are compressed with rar * Lots of pirated/cracked games are compressed with rar The main reason I've been told as to why this

Personally, It's a game I love to hate. growing up near a large lake, I got to see these flying rage machines up close, and to play as one opened up a part of my brain I had closed up for years. I want more games like this.

This is the same boat I'm in. Some of these programs were created only by one person, who can be impossible to track down and get a timely response.

Unfortunately the applications I use are Proprietary and Music related _on top of_ being OSX/Windows specific, and there's no way I can replicate this setup on Linux.

This explains the downvotes. I did some googling and noticed "Universal Binaries" mentioned in the results, which I remember in the 00s but had no idea that was remotely related to the OS binaries themselves.

I don't expect new features to be implemented in 32-bit builds - maybe security patches at the most - so freezing it and keeping it as a separate package should be feasible. This is exactly what Linux distros are planning to do.

Honestly, the 32-bit support shouldn't have been removed. It should have been split off into a separate package like the XQuartz project, as some of us still use 32-bit applications daily. Very disturbing that one of the biggest compan

This sounds like making the entire motherboard an equivalent of an epoxy blob.

When English picked up all those Anglo-Norman words, they were indeed spoken as written. Middle English texts seem to confirm this.

Infecting machines with malware intentionally? They did this and are still allowed to sell product?

"It's-a me, DMCA!" springs to mind. Nintendo doesn't really understand the concept of fan works yet. most corporations would love to have this sort of loyalty.

There's no real evidence of this. I could argue that bright, blinding lights actually help conceal criminals by the sheer lighting difference.

Louis has done so much to keep the fire hot under Apple when it comes to Right To Repair. He's even gone to state legislatures to demonstrate why RtR is required in the modern world. "Mad Props" to Louis.

Nothing beats Rails for slinging out a website or interactive "web app" in a week.

I'll admit I'm only saying anecdotes, but I've met very, very few obese people who said they ate when "bored or sad". The friends I had who did gain weight, did during the fat-free craze of the late 80s and early 90

I had a friend tell me that you're only truly near-native in a foreign language if you can troll online using it. It's crass, but I like it.

That would break the spontaneous nature of "live-tweeting".

Stuff like this makes me wonder if the Internet really is super vulnerable, and the only reason there isn't a mass disruption of communication all the time is because some script kiddies's Pizza Rolls were perfect today so he held

It's very hard to eat Intel's lunch when everyone tunes to Intel's notes. It'll take a while.

I just want a thick MacBook Pro again. To my brain, thin = flimsy and cheap. Give me something with some weight to it, and a keyboard that doesn't suck. Heck, just refresh the 2011 design with modern tech and I'll be happy. (And n

I remember Doom pushing a much higher frame rate than that with those specs. The real issue was that you needed L2 cache!

I wish the owner of the Keen Dreams IP was as dedicated and resourceful as you are. I have a feeling we've lost that one for good.

A lot of us learned that repressing the dialect what we're comfortable with made people take us more seriously. Rather than any pidgin or trade language forming to communicate effectively, it was safer to just assimilate. The true prob

The reason these dialects (I am a speaker of this) are dying is that they are discouraged at a young age by the school systems and parents who are worried that dialects like these are seen as "unintelligent" and will cause everyth
