I took an actual course on this when working for a rich company in the internet boom era. There was an emphasis on customizing the MS Outlook home page six ways from Sunday.
It worked pretty well, but, just like with the $100 Franklin-Covey MS Outlook add-on I bought in the late 1990s, I stopped using it after only a few months.
Don't vilify this judge for prosecuting Aaron Swartz. Swartz broke the law plain and simple and got the penalty he deserved under the law. He should have accepting this fact, served his punishment, and moved on with his life.
Unfortunately, he did not choose to serve his punishment and move on with his life for reasons only he knows.
We have bike lanes in Arlington, VA, but they follow the traffic on its major one-way streets.
Idiots on these scooters choose to use the sidewalks instead of the bike lanes to go the wrong way instead of scooting one block over to the street with the bike lane going in the right way.
These stupid scooters need to go away. I've been clipped more than twice on the sidewalk by idiot scooter users, and they also seem to think that the strict yield-to-pedestrians-in-crosswalk laws we have in Virginia don't apply to them. (Life Protip: They do, stupid.)
I like Lyft but they should have never entered the scooter sector.
I was asked to review a Chinese person's resume. The personal details they provide is rather astounding by Western standards. Phrases like "attractive," "young," "single," and "appealing" would be huge red flags here in the US, but I was told it's acceptable for their market and culture.
I felt bad for people who couldn't truthfully advertise themselves as attractive, young, single, and appealing over there.
They also have had a similar service for displaying Adobe Flash content on Fire tablets which looks and feels remarkably like AppStream.
Similar technology is used in the Amazon WorkSpaces virtual desktop service but that one uses the Teradici PCoIP protocol. I've used to display both Adobe Flash and YouTube content with virtually no latency.
The GPU-equipped instances render graphics on the server and send the framebuffer directly to your device. It's surprisingly good.
BTX could have been a contender. It was efficient, quiet, and good, especially after designers got around the trace length problems with AMD CPUs.
The cooling intake on the front of the case was a game changer for me. Unfortunately all the new enthusiast cases have intakes on the top, sides, and (gasp), the bottom, sucking dust in from all directions and inviting catastrophic destruction from spilled liquids.
Did it even work after 2013? I jailbroke a few iPod Touch devices and the Cydia "App Store" never really worked. I guess it worked at some point in iPhones, but not in iPod Touches.
I can't be bothered with putting playlists together. Even if it just requires me to hit "like" on a song I'm listening too, that's too much bother for something that is supposed be a passive entertainment source.
I know the genres I am into and when I want to hear Goa-Psy Trance, I don't want to break out my browser or app and drill down into my "liked" categories. I just want to tune to the channel and enjoy listening to the music.
Some of the stream-based radio platforms like SiriusXM and RadioTunes (meta-parent of DI.FM) and even Apple Radio have dialed this in pretty well, and if I don't like what's playing, I have copious alternative choices a tap way. Slacker was good until they switched from streaming to music file downloads. There's something special about beatmatched seamless transitions from song to song.
For me, changing channels and getting my fix is better than drilling down into likes, collections, and genres.
If you prefer curated playlists like I do, use DI.FM. It started with electronic music but evolved into a full music service with channels in all genres. The 64 kbps AAC+ mode saves a ton of bandwidth.
Google seems to be trying everything they can to recoup the operating costs of YouTube.
The power cable is the biggest disappointment with the Surface. I thought they want to use it as some kind of docking adapter but leaving out a USB 3 charging port option is just wrong.
I'm going to sidestep the low-effort jokes about "how can a tunnel affect the environment" to point out that they do, in fact, affect the environment.
The tailings, or spoil, that is removed from the tunnel needs proper disposal. This material can be anything from rock to mud to coal and even soil contaminated with chemicals. Some of the rock releases acid when exposed to water, like the pyrite exposed by I-99 construction in PA. The Gotthard Base Tunnel in Switzerland had to have expensive temporary work just to prevent spoil from destroying the local environment.
All tunnels require drainage. For example, the Washington DC Metrorail system pumps out millions of gallons of water every day, most of which requires treatment before being released into the environment. Speaking of Metrorail, tailings were illegally dumped into local waterways that damaged them permanently.
While the air in the Boring Co tunnels aren't intended to be breathable by passengers, serious consideration must be made for combustible gases and it must be documented.
Finally, the affect on the overburden of the tunnel must be considered when digging. Disturbing it can release methane gas, cause contamination of groundwater by sediment, cause water migration, and cause subsidence on the surface.
So, laugh all you want about tunnels and the environment, but tunnels are NOT invisible.
Charlie is a gambler. For example, he lost big time with TiVo and the award is the only thing that saved TiVo. Looks like something similar is happening with AT&T.
For TV service, AT&T, would rather have customers move to its own DirecTV service, not U-verse.
Dish Network and Sling are owned by Dish Network/EchoStar. Dish Network directly competes with AT&T's DirecTV. EchoStar bought Sling Media in 2007. Dish Network/EchoStar has a long history of carriage disputes like this going back several decades.
In 2008 EchoStar split into two divisions: Dish Network Corp which runs the Dish Network service and EchoStar which runs the satellites and develops set-top hardware like the Sling boxes.

Mitosis does not produce exact copies
I only had some college electives on genetics and biology and even I remember this decades later. Everything about genetics is about statistics.
Of *course* DNS samples from two living twins are not identical anymore.
You could have just put "+whatever" after your username. Most email systems ignore anything after the "+" character in email addresses.
Nice low-effort comment, stupid.

I did not mention that they were required to include a photograph of themselves.
I want to learn more about you. Your life is fascinating to me.

What a country.
Yeah, email headers don't contain MAC addresses.
Amazon already offers Amazon AppStream so this is a natural development. It uses NICE DVE protocol.

My point is that every click doesn't spawn a new PHP instance in their architecture unlike regular PHP.
COBOL is running just fine--its only problem is the lack of human knowledge in the marketplace.
And, at least with IBM COBOL, today's IBM z/OS runs COBOL programs originally compiled on the System/360 in the 1960s.
Of course Facebook runs a PHP script that runs a bunch of NPM modules to produce a 1.5MB response
You honestly don't believe each request to a server spools up a new PHP script instance like it's still 2006, do you?
It won't work. Real 5G phones are easy to spot. They're thicker, heavier, and the battery won't last a day.
Did it even work after 2013? I jailbroke a few iPod Touch devices and the Cydia "App Store" never really worked. I guess it worked at some point in iPhones, but not in iPod Touches.
Let's hope it works out of the box this time instead of unnecessarily requiring lots of tweaking and manual configuration.
It would be nice if it supported more ciphers, too.
The fact that the United States has had an inexplicable ban on reprocessing spent nuclear fuel in the name of "non-proliferation" since 1977 doesn't help this situation.
But why?
McDonald's has been using clamshell grills over 30 years.
