Is Blizzcon streamed in China? I agree - nothing will happen. They'll likely heavily filter what they broadcast in China if they do stream there, and that's about all they can poss…

I think that's one of the reasons NPR bought Pocket Casts - to get this data. Where are users skipping? When are they dropping out of a podcast? Etc. Personally I skip forward past…

Check out the video game "Soma". It's a horror-themed game but you can play in "Safe" mode if that's not your thing. I'd say more but that would spoil things for you.

I think if you hire another software engineer to help you it could potentially fail criteria C: "The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation…

That 1TB you always pay for, while Backblaze is pay-per-use.

> I hope I can repurpose them for other iot signals. I bought one for that - it's authenticated on my wifi but doesn't know what to order on Amazon. Pushing the button will make it…

I'd say that disk comes a close second, if not first. Overtaxed slow disks with low memory makes for a terrible desktop experience. Once your memory usage climbs and your OS starts…

I ran into this earlier this week. Turned out a macro that was implemented as a wrapper function in debug linked differently in ship. I don't see this first-hand very often but I'd…

If you made a "office space" kind of game, and it was something you could actually call a game, I wouldn't be surprised to see a community grow up around it as people discussed pat…

Plus, how much testing has the airplane gone with MCAS in an off state? Certainly less time than in the on state.

You can use the basic html version of gmail: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/1pq68r75kzvdr/?v%3Dlui I use this - it's way more responsive and faster than the current gmail UI. M…

I realize this is probably not helpful for you, but it works on my machine. FF 65.0.1 on Win10.

It's been awhile since I've used it but Moon+ Reader on Android can sync progress to google drive. At the time the syncing wasn't super reliable, but it worked sometimes.

Win7 certainly has some rough edges in retrospect, but I occasionally interact with old systems and so many things are so much snappier. I'm sure the modern frameworks in Win10 all…

> and dismiss native apps as being duplicated work. It's worse than duplicated work, it's duplicated different work.
