The pen was decent on the Surface Pro 2. I agree, it worked better when touching the tablet. Hovering it felt a little off and if I came in at a low angle from the bottom it'd be totally off.
That being said, it's probably the best you're gonna get without getting a hard core Watcom drawing tablet. (I think they made some of the Surface Pros pens/digitizers didn't they?)
But I don't draw, so I was just using it to struggle with Illustrator.
They had a functioning democracy. They were even on their way to decent women's rights and progressivism. However, Anglo-Persian Oil Company (British Petroleum) didn't like how they wanted to nationalize their oil fields. So the US staged a coupé, and installed a dictator. There was another revolution later... and you get the idea.
> The militant theocracy actively supporting terrorism in at least 5 sovereign nations? Hell no.
Wait wait. Um...America is a semi-theocracy (in the sense conservatives have used religion to bolster pro-war agendas) and is the largest state sponsor of terror in the world! The US has the largest air force, squadrons of remote killing machines (predator drones) and ten active air craft carriers (the nations with the 2nd largest fleets of aircraft carriers all have 2 or less).
You know why Iran wants nuclear weapons? They're not weapons. No one can actually use them today (Mutually Assured Destruction; if two or more nuclear nations launched weapons, the devastation would be beyond measure). It's the same reason Pakistan has them. It's about power.
They're scared, and rightfully so. The US, UK et al has been meddling in their nation for decades. None of these countries want war. All they want is to defend themselves from the US, Russia, the EU and anyone else that wants to take from them again.
I will say PHP7 might be a huge break from that. The parser changed to be a lot more sane and they finally deprecated all those mysql_ functions. There are a lot more real exceptions in core libraries instead of errors that silently get discarded.
I dunno...it looks a lot less crap. But let's get things straight. PHP4/5 are garbage from a design perspective. There is a lot wrong with their type system. Oh and PHP7 has a type system..that's been bolted on. eh... I'm sure people will find fun new stuff for/r/lolphp
It depends on the type of work. Engineering decisions led to the collapse of that bridge in Seattle (though a systematic series of errors) and caused a bridge to rip itself apart when it turned into a giant sail.
Also, there are computer scientists designing the software in pace markers and car fuel injection systems. Some may hold Computer Engineering degrees, but some also hold Computer Science degrees. In either case, they are held to a higher standard of test driven development. Computer Scientists build flight software for aircraft. They have to think about things like airgaps and an insane amount of device independence, redundancy and security. Mistakes have been made. People die. Engineers don't typically go to jail. The mistake gets fixed so it doesn't happen again. CEOs should go to jail if they knew about it and did nothing, but that rarely happens as well (although it does occasionally).
An engineer might be building alarm clocks or drawing out children's toys. Their level of detail doesn't need to be anywhere that of the person working on medical equipment.
Same here. As I'm reading, yours in one of two comments with the word "alternative" in it. I'd like another option. It looks like the only other thing out there is Evolution?! Man..so lame.
I've been on a mostly-Keto diet for over a year now. I dropped from 70kg to 61kg. The lowest I've been was 57kg but I've occasionally been eating pizza while travelling or drinking more with friends. Overall it's been a great lifestyle choice. I feel better. I have more energy. It's easier to build muscles. I weigh less and if all the data is correct, I have a much lower chance of heart disease.
I still meet people who sad low-carb is bad. I'm visiting some vegetarian friends who seriously believe that (and one of them teaches health classes in the Peace Corps!). I've been staying with them a month, eating way too many beans and potatoes. I finally went out an bought some meat on my own and next week I fly out. I'll be so glad to cook for myself again. I've gained at least 2kg while here.
Anyway, if these noodles are the real deal, and they don't taste like cardboard, it would awesome. I'd love to chow down on them with some pesto and feta cheese. Yum!
I looked at Coffeescript once a long time ago and was like, "This doesn't feel any better," and "This is a waste of time."
I looked back at it recently and gave it a fair shot. It helps there are much better tutorials and examples today. Now I'm like "OMFG why the hell would I ever write in straight Javascript again?!"
It might have helped that in the years between I did a lot more Scala, Python and Ruby...and Coffeescript really incorporates some of the amazing concepts about those languages into it.
It's like Java. Once you use Scala or Groovy for a while, you'll be like "WTF?! How did I live doing this terrible stuff in Java when all these newer JVM languages let me use all my old Java libraries with way less code, less boiler plate and cleaner syntax."
Seriously dude, if you don't try something...and by that I mean give it a fair shot, you shouldn't criticize it. You sound like "Get of my lawn."
I for one have used Photoshop since 3.0 all the way to CS6 and CC. I have also used Gimp for years. Today I only use Gimp for small quick things: cropping, resizing.. maybe adjustments (but honestly Gimp can't compare to Lightroom for that either). If I need to build anything complex, I go to Photoshop. I can't give an unbiased opinion of their UI since I've literally used it since high school. But I have used Gimp since 2002-ish, and I once did a bunch of my site graphics in it as well; so I have it a fair shake. I really feel Gimp sucks for anything really intensive and graphics related. I guarantee you, if you were in a Graphics Design job, it'd take 2x-4x longer to do something on Gimp than it would in Photoshop. Same with Inkscape and Illustrator.
I have a feeling they only have one set of hardware. You can't just plug in the 2nd set of sensor wires and ensure they work with protocol converters or reverse engineer them. Even if there is a 2nd system, it's probably a backup that always needs to be ready.
I'm sure modern airports have newer equipment and there are probably specialized companies that can come in and install newer hardware and get it up and running side by side the old stuff so you can then take the old stuff down (or turn it into a backup), but that stuff doesn't come cheap. For smaller cities, they probably just don't want to spend the money on the airport.
Every other country is offering unlimited plans. Cheaper unlimited plans in Australia and New Zealand are now the norm.
Here's the thing, we're not talking about a resource. There is not finite supply of water pouring into your house. We're talking about bandwidth. We're talking about electrons that are always flowing down the wire. There is no real resource being consumed by using more data.
During non-peak times when your switches are not at capacity, it doesn't really take more electricity to process more data (not really; not measurably). During peak times, it may be more difficult to offer quality of service because everyone is streaming something (even if it's just a video). Your total cost is in the infrastructure for standard data at peak.
It's not a resource like power or water. That electricity is always running over those wires. The more powerful switches you need are a sunk cost!
It's really obvious it's misleading. 25% of the web? Wrodpress? Umm...no. No way in hell. That doesn't even sound marginally accurate, or even a good estimate.
I only played the PS Visa version. Is the PS3/PS4 version any better? I felt like it looked pretty, but there was very little challenge. The levels had infinite lives and I'm not one of those people who go back for 100% completion. There just didn't seem to be anything special to this game.
I've never been hit by one of these, but I realize it can cost people a lot of money due to some shitheads. I'm really glad a lot of these keys have been found and made public. I'm sure this won't be the end of ransomware...people will just use new keys, but hopefully this will help some of those who have clicked on a not-a-flash upgrade or bad e-mail attachment.
Toyota had a dedicated lab in France that worked with cold fusion for two years! There are countless other groups that have done so as well.
The biggest problem is that the results are not predictable. Many groups can get excess heat from water, but not consistently. We need to know how and why it works before it can be marketed. We need to know how and why it works so it can be reproducible 100% of the time. Even if we don't really figure out how/why, if we can get the numbers up to 90% reproducible...it can be marketable. But no one can.
There is a huge missing piece that no one has figured out. Major companies and universities have invested a large amount of time and money into this. But I have a feeling this will come down to a group or individual having an eureka moment and discovering the missing part of the equation. The potential for energy is staggering. It would literally change everything.
I hate the tone of the Slashdot article because it makes this seem like a stupid/lost cause/hoax situation when it's anything form that.
Watch "Fire from Water." It's a bit sensational, but it's a decent documentary that does accurately portray the cold fusion debate.
Reminds me of my old MacBook black which liked to turn itself off randomly. My old housemate had a problem with his as well. There were a ton of blog posts back in the day about this being a physical problem; about heat causing part of the case to expand and a capacitor on the motherboard would push up against something causing it to short and shut-off. That was only one of the theories. There were tons of others. It might have been several different design faults depending on the model/generation.
I fucking hate SSRIs. Study after study that shows they're as effective as placebo fail to get published. There's a massive publishing bias. All I remember being on them was my head feeling numb. They are effective for like 2 weeks and then feel like hell. Coming off of them was a nightmare both times. They are super over-prescribed and should be a last resort. But too many therapists are worried about liability, so they always offer up the drug options first.
I got a regular cab instead of an Uber during the tube strike. It was 58 GBP to get to, not the airport, the automated above ground lines to London City Airport...the only lines still running. I heard everyone bitching about the tube drivers too, which was stupid. They weren't even asking for more money. They didn't want to work 7~14 week night shifts. The transport board knew they couldn't afford night tubes, the city wouldn't give them more money, so they set up the tube drivers to strike so they could blame everything on them. Fucking transport board.
Also, the drivers should have run the trains and convinced the ticketing unions to open all the gates. Then everyone wins! You make the city lose money and regular joes don't spend insane amounts on taxis. It works in France.
Everyone is so angry about immigration. You know how to stop the refugee crisis? Get Europe/US/UK government to STOP SUPPORTING TERRORISM! You ever notice how they don't interview any of the refugees on UK/IR news feeds? And when they do, they don't bother with a translator; just find the few who speak English and gave them 10 seconds of airtime.
If you actually talked to them, you'd learn that not one of these "Freedom Fighters" or "Rebels" is Syrian. Almost all of them are being pumped in from outside the country and funded by the US and Europe. We've giving them guns to cause a regime change. Obama is saying the same things about Asad that Bush said about Hussein. It's 2003 all over again.
Keep in mind for the passcode case, these were people involved with inside trading. They were part of the upper-class, the rich. There is a different level of law for people of different social classes. I wonder how rich/poor the person with the fingerprint case was.
It's worse that Windows. In Windows you can reinstall the base OS (bloatware free) and then install the drivers and you're done.
Android is to the point where they should have a standard-driver-package. Manufactures can release something similar to an apk, with the source (or just.o files, who gives a shit) that can auto-compile for all devices. That what you just go ASOP + these special packages and boom. Standard Android. You can use your manufactures custom install as well, but at least you'd have a choice. Google could add in the EULA that voiding warranties for unlocking bootloaders is out of the rules.
It's not that difficult a fix. You could get manufactures not releasing driver package updates, sure...but at least it would make it easier to do so. Android would benefit from being more like Windows as a general purpose OS at this point.
I tried using Illustrator on a Surface Pro 2 with the stylus. OMG that was awful. The screen was too small and it was too difficult to get the precision I needed. Plus when you got towards the bottom of the screen, the pointer would jump like crazy...might have just been that device though. I did buy it used.
I preferred using the mouse though. I don't draw, but I've heard from others that a Waccom tablet is better. Even thought he Surface is pressure sensitive, it's still a little buggy. But that could have been fixed in the Surface 3.
