You've missed all the posts where people complain about a terminal emulator taking 1ms longer to respond to a keystroke than their preferred one, haven't you?

Wow, tell me you've never shipped anything important / heavily used without telling me that. I expected this to suggest a tick-tock deprecation cycle, where one version deprecated and the next removed, but this is definitely an id

Google Sites exists. Buy a domain, point it at a free Google site. So easy a religion major can make a site that looks pretty decent (ha ha, only serious; I thought he'd used Wordpress at first) for just the cost of domain registration

I had a Google Play app whose dev died. It was just a simple local app -- no network server usage. When I last upgraded my phone (due to imminent failure of the previous one) it refused to copy the app over -- and the app was no longer in t

Interesting that the SDK is not affected; my understanding is Slack uses it, which is probably enough to cause its continued existence

Or money. Note the Living Computer Museum basically collapsing after Paul Allen's death.

It seemed likely that the parts we don't understand likely served some purpose; assuming they were junk because we don't understand their function is like a user deleting random system files because they "don't use them.

I think the article sort-of says this near the end, mainly in hinting that continuous grinding can be a problem.

Given the description in the article, I'd say Cynic/Idealist instead of Grifter/Believer.

I was in the situation you describe when I got a bidet. It's possible to replace that pipe -- a little more work of course, but it's still turn off water, replace pipe with flexi-hose, connect bidet.

Laws against booby trapping and the like are fairly universal. Even without criminal penalties, the liability if you catch someone innocent should give you pause.

The fact this worked on Type 1, which is an autoimmune disorder, is very interesting/surprising as a layman.

Worth noting that the comment you reply to calls out buying only "sold & shipped by Walmart" items, as opposed to those from other vendors like your case.

To be fair, once I die, I don't imagine I'll feel like registering my death.

I think the manufacturers needed no encouragement, and at this point it would take multi-national intervention to get the genie back in the bottle. The poster you replied to simply recognized the situation for what it is: Samsung is still a

Given the phrasing was "continue to lead", I think he was already there.

Given he's sticking around per the article to lead some teams, I expect what he did was "expressed an interest in retiring" and they're trying to create a path to ease concern: "Maestri will continue to lead teams f

I'd expect it to be harder. I used to work on a large embedded device that ran some Java code, and there was a specialist vendor providing Java for the offbeat processor platform. After a little digging, I found a blog post about it, a
