I interviewed at Amazon, and researched their offerings to better prepare. Until reading this news, I never realized ElastiSearch wasn't an Amazon product, I always believed ElastiSearch was Amazon's invention, because of how Amaz

Well... they already succeeded in screwing some hardware and software this way. When Windows Vista was about to launch, MPAA pushed hard for DVD copy protection, this resulted in a sudden push against CRT monitors, in favor of then lower qu

Lua is tied with C as my favourite languages. I personally DO use Lua sometimes to code general purpose stuff. Still, I don't see Lua ever having "batteries", the language wasn't invented for that purpose, and the origin

I am not from USA so not talking in the legal sense of things. Still I must ask, alright, nobody is obliged to listen to someone, but what about the rights of those that WANT to listen? 70+ million people voted for Trump after all, is it ri

You believe you hear his views all the time. I am not from USA, and not a trump supporter, still been trying to figure out what is going on, and noticed some patterns. 1. Media loves taking stuff out of context, not just with Trump mind you

I am using a mix of Win7, Ubuntu, Win10 and old OSX on various computers. To be honest, so far Win7 is winning, it is the OS that gives me the least headaches. Win7 problems: occasionally something doesn't work because it is Win10 only

Why people think it is good idea to engage in mass suppression of speech? It is not just Trump himself, general Flynn, Powell, and even a random political cartoon satire author (that is not pro-trump) got banned. If you take speech (and thu

Problem is iMessage also relies a lot on SMS, an in a lot of countries this is really, really bad (due to crazy prices, Brazil for example where WhatsApp absolutely dominates, has crazy sky high prices for cellphone communications in genera

Just to add on that... the original founder put a rule in the company that it must remain a family business, to the point that when they didn't had a heir, the guy adopted someone and gave him the family name, to keep the family going.

What exactly Trump said to spark this? All information I found is rumors, that he posted a video asking people to respect the police, stop the violence and go home. Anyone has seen the video and texts in question and can tell me? EDIT: mass

iMessage is just too risky. Reason is that it is also an interface for SMS, and SMS in Brazil is obscenely crazy expensive, some operators might charge 1 BRL per message or stuff like that (for context: 1 BRL is the price of a cup of coffee

If this let me play some games better I will be very impressed... Some games still run poorly on DOSBox, despite it being games focused... and of course then there is Win98 games that are a pain, I wanted to play "Gangsters" but t

There aren't any, sadly. Closest SC4 sucessor for now is the game "New Cities" that is fundamentally different, and proprietary. Open Source there is an early SimCity clone, but it is not a clone of SC4 specifically, and it i

I tried to convince EA to let me do that. Didn't work. EA really, REALLY doesn't want to update SC4, they don't want to fix its easily fixable bugs, and don't want to share the source either, despite the most important p

Don't blame the guy rig. You don't know how he is playing the game... for example one way to crash the game is if you are doing a crafting build, mass manufacture items for sale, and attempt to sell them all at once, the game has

Part of the problem for example is the story swings between "good" and "great" only if you are on a particular path. The corpo path for example is a bad one: 1. in the intro you litearlly do nothing, you only hear an NPC

That is a great example of an actual bug, that ALL players saw, and many didn't notice at all. The police seemly doesn't have an AI, people actually believed they didn't. But a player happened to see a police car with cops in
