I'm getting two different error pages with the same "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can" message. One has the older site look, copyright 2020, the other has the newer FB5 l

Interesting to see a standard white error page with black Times New Roman text saying "5xx Server Error" at instagram.com. Usually when Facebook goes down there's some kind of branded error page. Does this say anything about

I don't know the laws here in Canada but I was always under the impression if you do something on your own time with your own equipment, you own the IP. It's been that way at several of my employers in the creative fields. I only

I'm pretty sure you're allowed to build little utility websites and share them with your friends on Facebook. Extra context: people complained about how tedious the SoCast CMS was to use for years before I got there. Either way, w

I built four tools that looked and functioned almost exactly like this about six years ago, but using PHP. They were called "Picture Perfect," "Portrait Perfect," "Partner Perfect," and "Process Perfect.&q

Out of curiosity, are cookies being totally phased out or will websites still be able to use them for things like sessions? This is just third party cookies like if you put a Facebook like button on your site, right?

I could be wrong because, like you, I haven't used Windows in quite some time (jumped ship when Windows 8 came along and never used it), but I think Windows 10 does include some sort of clean install/reset setting.

That's a bit re-assuring. I had a 15-year-old standard Civic Si that was written off at under 180,000-kms because a deer ran into the side of us. It was such a great car. I won't be happy paying $2 per litre, but it probably won&#

Carbon tax going up and demand going down, driving the price of gas up. Buying old technology that might not be as well supported, the same reason I'm holding off replacing my Intel iMac right now (waiting for an Apple Silicon iMac but

I just bought a brand new 2020 Honda Civic EX in November and I love it, I just hope it wasn't a mistake buying a gasoline engine. Here in Canada, the carbon tax is supposed to raise the cost of gas 30 per cent by 2030. I'm not an

I'd also like to chime in that I hate the "sprout" system where they split the group into smaller groups when they get to an arbitrary size, as others have mentioned. We live in a middle-class neighbourhood. It is desirable:

Totally just blurting out from the top of my head, but I'm guessing it's more because digital things are intangible. The tech and talent is still being used, like the cargo ships in your example, it's just the competition tha

Film rental has actually gone down a lot since the studios forced all the chains to go digital from 35mm film. It wasn't uncommon for 80-90 per cent of ticket sales to go to the studios in the first week of a blockbuster's release

I'm sorta in the same boat but want to stay in the Apple ecosystem. I have a mid-2010 iMac (11,2) that just finally bit the dust (wouldn't turn on for hours once being plugged back inand now just won't turn on at all). It&#x2

Excuse me but I've been burnt by IE6 and have the scars to prove it. Monopolies and monocultures are bad news anywhere, like in my city of Winnipeg where we have one of the largest elm canopies in the world which is expected to disappe

As a web developer who suffered through IE6's pain-points from its heyday until 2014, I've said this about Safari on iOS for years now. I had a huge retail client who's customer base was largely on Win 2000/XP equipment,

I'm sort of, but not really, surprised so many smart techie people are so adamant about using Chrome when we're well on our way to Blink being the new IE6.

Not currently, but I've thought about opening a blog to talk about it. However, since my chances of opening a real movie theatre are pretty low, I'd ideally like to commercialize this at some point. It probably requires a rewrite
