Anybody got the 120" TV that will make that 4k worth anything?
It's like we're gearing up for Ray Bradbury's telewalls. I don't want one. Does anyone? Is that a spider drone at my front door? Excuse me while I... LOST CARRIER
E-sports as an event would be like NASCAR becoming an Olympic sport. The competition might as well be for number of products shilled, rather than skill at CS:GO.
So many respondents to this article, in their haste to hate on Mozilla, haven't a clue what Test Pilot is. It's a series of experiments, hosted on a web page, that you need an add-on installed just to get access to the experiments. Then you choose which experiments you want as add-ons. Or ignore them. Your choice. Or don't install Test Pilot at all and ignore the whole thing.
Nobody's bloating up the browser. You'd literally have to install two separate extensions just to get this on your Firefox.
They did a similar experiment with "Containers" (cookie isolation), and released it as an extension later. They even released a version called "Facebook Container" that isolates Facebook from all the websites you visit so it can't track you via third-party cookies.
Mozilla is working on potentially useful stuff, not world domination.
An HR department is not a criminal court. They don't have to presume innocence.
If the HR department were to lynch the guy, they would be in criminal court PDQ. In this case, they fired the guy, and people don't like that Google had to abide by his employment agreement and give him his termination compensation.
Guess what, folks? They do, therefore, given a contract and a legal obligation to honor that contract, he gets the money.
He was fired. That's all you're gettin'. March all you want. It's stupid.
You are pointedly not "innocent until proven guilty." You are presumed innocent. And that is a protection against a kangaroo court, not a viable life philosopy. All criminal trials start with the baseline that the defendant is innocent of the charge until the prosecution proves otherwise. The defendant also is never found to be "innocent." The determination is "not guilty." There's a big difference.
Like it or not, HR departments have no such standard by which they need to abide.
IRL, nobody presumes anyone innocent because they'd be a freaking idiot to do so. People may presume whatever they like, but it's better to base your judgement on the preponderance of evidence, the standard in a civil matter. If you wait for conclusive evidence as would be presented in a criminal court, you're going to get your head taken off very quickly. People also rely on so-called "gut reactions," and there's nothing wrong with that so long as you don't hurt anyone over it.
TL;DR: If I see a guy in a ninja costume, on the street, staring at houses one-by-one, I'm not going to presume dick. I'm calling the police and they can sort him out.
In the latest versions, you can put your custom group anywhere on any tab, name it whatever you want, and stick your features on it, including ones that aren't on the ribbon at all.
So, MS eventually listened to reason. Office 2007 was a mess though.
While some seem to prefer the ribbon, to me it exchanged one arbitrary grouping of features for another arbitrary grouping. One gets around in Office by memorizing where shit is, NOT because of their lovely menus/ribbons. It was a stupid UI move in my opinion.
The purpose of the ribbon is advertising. It exposes features that you may not be thinking of, especially ones that will lock you into the "Office Open XML" file formats.
Less marketable features are small, or buried. If this happens to be a feature you often use, you're SOL and you have to Google where the hell it is.
So the ribbon is doing exactly what it's supposed to. Expose styles, and conditional formatting, and all the stuff MS wishes you would use at the expense of your ability to actually use the product with your own work habits. There's a reason those features are placed near the middle, and in some cases get an enormous amount of ribbon space. It's an ad. "Please use the product in a way that helps Microsoft" is the message.
You want easy access to that one feature that MS doesn't care about? You get a spot waaaay over on the right of the ribbon where you can put it. That's about what MS thinks of your own priorities.
...himself into the ground. How hard is it to understand that "take the money and run" means you take the money, after doing absolutely nothing to earn it except (perhaps) lie, and get as far away from the person who gave it to you so they can't make you give it back. People who "take the money and run" go into hiding. They don't sit there, identify exactly who and where they are, work their asses off, fail, and then apologize. They have zero intention of doing anything at all.
They bloody well run, and you never see them again. That's how "take the money and run" works, and calling this commensurate to that is intellectually dishonest, if not outright whining.
We're talking about a small regional temperature change for excellent long-term benefit. This is not the same as a climbing planetary average.
I don't see how this is a major issue, but it's good to know in places where the warmer climate is marginal to supporting the current way-of-life. In those places, they may want to reconsider putting too much wind power up. Here in Wisconsin, I'm pretty sure they can put up all the wind mills they like and people will just be happy with it. Wind power is still a "no brainer."
The headline is misleading. "Significant" has a number of meanings, one of which is essentially "a whole lot." I would have preferred "statistically significant." Because that's really what we're talking about: it's measurable and beyond the margin of error. Big whoop.
I had an experience a few months ago where I typed in "Netgear support" and the first hit I got was an ad for some firm that claimed it could fix routers. At the time, it was not clear that it wasn't Netgear support, and they claimed to be Netgear, both in the ad and on the phone. It was only until they asked for $100, for support on a brand new router, that I realized they weren't. I immediately terminated the call.
They called back, again claiming they were "Netgear" (I had given them a callback number). I was rather upset that Google provided their ad result as the first item for Netgear. They were running a scam. I eventually got to real Netgear support, and they helped me with my problem.
Roll your own currency. Roll your own power grid. Pretty soon people will be rolling their own towns, institutions, and power structures to control those assets.
And then we'll be right back where we started. Blockchain doesn't fix that.
Roll your own blunt. It's way more clever and rewarding.

There's a 1998 movie about this...
It sounds like trance music written by monkeys. Actually, monkeys might do better than an irrational number.

I am supremely disappointed that the link didn't lead to a proof of concept that blew up my desktop because I am using Firefox.
But I came here for an argument.

It's fucking Test Pilot, you dunce. It's a web experiment, like "containers," where they intend to release an extension if it works out well.
Besides, there's already "Invisible Hand."
I even looked at my keyboard. "N" then "R." Hmm. Nowhere near one another.
OCR mistake?

Oh well, time to switch to something different. I found this:

Who gives a fsck?
Firefox has been doing this for years, but I always turn it off in about:config.
browser.urlbar.trimURLs boolean false
If you can do that in Chrome too? This is manufactured outrage. Nobody who isn't balancing angels on the head of a pin actually cares.
Cats on the blockchain, anyone?
Well, at the very least, every zig should be on the blockchain. Don't know about Cats.

So I'll take that to mean you are only offended by his lack of spelling ability, and not by his use of the word.
Dammit. I pulled McCain out of the list and then the post system crashed on me, and he was still on the clipboard.
Yes, I read your post.
