The Federation runs Hollywood OS. It's so advanced that it can run legacy code of the 20th century in a bio-quantum context. If you look closely enough you'll see that it can run a languane known as PerlthonJS (to give an example), which, to the untrained eye, looks only like a random mixture of Perl, Python and JavaScript in one source file.
Know what would be nice? A face recognition app that tells me the name of the person I'm talking to. I have a little bit of trouble with faces, even when it comes to close friends, so it would be nice if I had some Augmented Reality overlay to tell me who they are when I haven't seen them for a while. Luckily, so far other people recognise me readily enough so that compensates for my deficiency.
Now... if this app I'm suggesting could also tell identical twins apart... that would be awesome.
They themselves said Linux is a cancer, right? So if anything they're trying to extinguish Windows by getting more Windows users to use Linux software until they don't need the Windows wrapper anymore. I'll drink to that:)
I have a legitimate question: How does one back up Android, actually? (yes, I googled it, repeatedly, over a period of time)
My experience so far barely backed up anything besides the list of apps I had installed. On iOS all my banking apps and Google Authenticator are ready to use after a restore. On Android I get that only if I root my device and actively copy the app's data myself. And it's not just banking apps. With few exceptions It's pretty much every app that I have to set up all over again.
I had to reset my Nexus a while back because it had a database corruption that prevented Photos from displaying and backing up pictures, and the experience was as described above. Even with a Helium desktop backup.
It would be nice to be able to issue an authorisation token with the credit agency and pass that to the institution that wants to search my file. Don't have the token? No search, go away.
Romania shows up in top 10 broadband speed constantly and it's not even a developed nation like South Korea. How did they do it?
They were called "neighbourhood networks". People decided to go against common sense and deployed office-rated Cat5 and office-rated switches wherever they could, without asking for permission from anybody. They spanned local city areas and helped jumpstart the speedy broadband revolution. If it were left to the national telecom company Romania would still be on expensive dial-up.
Then a bunch of people with money came and bought the networks and consolidated the market, but the "damage" was already done: can't get away with shitty speeds and high prices anymore. Now you get 1Gb fiber to wherever your computer is located - i.e. without converting to Cat5 in the stairwell, for peanuts. In the cities, anyway. The countryside still gets American-quality connections:)
Work for a creative agency. It will take you a about a year, a year and a half, to become competent in about 10 fields. The next job will be a piece of cake and you should have enough technology under your belt that the next few jobs should still be within reach even if you go on "mental holiday" after leaving the agency. May even consider contracting once your post-agency job relaxed you enough.
Great, I love auto-play videos! But do you know what I love more? When the video I'm watching is suddenly interrupted by an interstitial in the middle of a consonant, just as the story becomes interesting. Don't forget that feature.
I use Linux as my main platform, and Android as my main phone. I use macOS at work and have an iPad for a tablet. If I hear "Windows" I'm running away and shooting everything that might be following me.
Ain't nobody got time to fuck around with the computer when there's so much work to do - and when there's no work, there's Netflix to watch.
macOS is my second option after Linux because it's UNIX-based. I'm a Terminal guy, and I use bash a lot. cmd is too limited, PowerShell is too crazy, and the backslash as a path separator drives me insane, especially when used in pretty much any language and some library author forgot to add escaping. If I want to do some server stuff then not even macOS cuts it (I need iptables man...)
What about Android vs iOS? Well... I started with Android and had my fun while rooting it didn't break things (now I can't because I use Android Pay) and I can always get a decent last year's Android phone for cheap when I "upgrade". I got my iPad because I needed it for a contract once. I use it for ITS LONG BATTERY LIFE! I have an Android tablet too, but unless I leave it in standby and never use it I have to charge it long before the day ends.
If anything, I love the smoothness of the iPad experience and hate the jitteriness of Android. Especially the homescreen needs some optimisations - it gets slower and less responsive as you add icons to it? dafuq is that about? and it seems to drag the whole phone experience down with it - all apps take longer to spawn; but hey, at least the stupid SMS app they had was replaced eventually - it was also snail slow, so there's hope yet.
I once made a file uploader that used a new window/tab as a upload queue so people can queue up files to be uploaded in sequence in order to get a better experience than uploading 10-20-100 files simultaneously. That window/tab is supposed to be left alone in the background to do its thing while you go on the main site to queue up more uploads.
I was moving a "file" element from the main site to the queue window and then just looped and told blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload to upload each file in turn.
With this queued upload mechanism were built into browsers so I don't have to do crazy stuff like the one described.
You think Intel is keeping the prices high because they can't cut them? Ha. They've arranged their line-up just so it looks like the i processors are good value for money. I imagine I'll see a bunch of Pentium processors withdrawn and i stuff prices sliced if AMD's CPU is that good and its price point is that low.
Incidentally, that same price strategy is used by Apple. Keep an oldie in the line-up (Intel: Pentium; Apple: iPad mini 2) and then everything from that baseline to the top is price locked inside the range. Hurray, pre-owned stuff keeps its value for longer.
My name is Mahindresh Jalabahamatra* from India. I would like to apply for the Universal Translator job that you are offering. I am very skilled in Universal Translation and have many years of experience. I have done Universal Translation for many clients in the past, and I consider your offered job as Universal Translator to fit my skills perfectly.
I saw a picture of the crowd from Trump's podium. From there the empty patches were not easily evident. From his angle it looked like there were people covering every patch of concrete if you didn't look carefully enough. And since it looks that way from where he way (literally) standing, the media must be lying - simple logic I guess.
I once uploaded a self-captured 2 minute sequence from Doctor Who to Youtube. The video wasn't just unlisted, but it was private. The title was some random noise like "X". I had 2 or 3 views, because I uploaded it to show a friend the scene in the context of a chat we were having and then I totally forgot about it. Yet after a few months after uploading it I get an email from Youtube telling me that they found infringing content in my account.
If this can turn ruthless hunters into docile mice, then go through prisons and calm those guys down so they can be rehabilitated easily. When they're not thinking about who to beat up to ass rape they may actually sit down and learn something to help them when they get out.
The thinner the device in the chunky case the thinner the whole assembly is too. Imagine attaching those protective cases to brick-like phones. Not the same, is it? In the past the brick was the phone. Now the brick is made up of all that padding you attach to it to keep it safe. If they can make some progress regarding the padding, to make it thinner yet as efficient, then you get some sweet pocket padding device.
Why limit to just after waking up? "Reading just one negative email could lead you to report having a bad day hours later" says the article. But why would that be different in the morning compared to any time of the day? If the reaction is "those fucking incompetent bastards!" on a regular basis then it doesn't matter if it's in the morning or not. You still want to rent a chainsaw from the tool hire shop and go pay them a visit.
One bad email once in a while is OK. I find that once in a blue moon early morning disaster email wakes me up instantly, more than any stimulant ever could. I like to sleep in you see...

[...] where are our exFAT kernel modules for Linux already?
Here: https://github.com/dorimanx/ex... - but not thanks to Microsoft.
They themselves said Linux is a cancer, right? So if anything they're trying to extinguish Windows by getting more Windows users to use Linux software until they don't need the Windows wrapper anymore. I'll drink to that :)
And... without root, which is what I was bitching about?

Both the iPhone and you after you buy it.

Surely they can find unlisted porn too?
Careful what you play over that radio. If it's sudden and noisy, a jumpy driver might swerve and actually cause an accident.
If this can turn ruthless hunters into docile mice, then go through prisons and calm those guys down so they can be rehabilitated easily. When they're not thinking about who to beat up to ass rape they may actually sit down and learn something to help them when they get out.
I and many others make them lose billions by not watching at all anything that's not on Netflix or Amazon Prime. Oh, the horror!
