They're ubiquitous for the same reason as those Apple stickers: bundling, in this case with baby car seats.

The better format does not always win, and just like VHS, H.265 already has much deeper market penetration in hardware.

Check out libcaca[1], a image-to-ASCII library that already available as a mplayer and VLC output. There's also a demoscene competition where entries can only use text-mode art, TM…

Assuming you have G Suite, create a calendar resource for the room, then add the room to the invite. https://support.google.com/a/answer/1686462?hl=en

AAC is also higher quality than MP3 at medium bitrates[1], but this is largely irrelevant for high-bitrate iTunes downloads. [1] http://listening-test.coresv.net/results.htm

There is no chicken-and-egg problem because the OS already does color management to map your source color space (sRGB, mostly) to your target monitor's color space. If it didn't, y…

VSTs draw their own graphics. They're basically separate applications that have an audio/MIDI pipe to the host.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. :)

ESP32, the successor to the ESP8266, has both WiFi and Bluetooth, but it's fairly expensive.

Bluetooth/WiFi doesn't require embedded Linux. The venerable ESP8266 can be easily programmed through the Arduino IDE.

Or I can have the candidate code with me for an hour during the interview, and save $100. They get to ask me questions about the problem directly, and I can see where they are stru…

Compare the feature set of Endpoints to Edge. There's more to API management than authentication and monitoring.

RAD use rANS for their compressors. See ryg's blog [0] for more details, and a bunch more interesting posts about compression and various low-level optimizations. [0] https://fgies…

I realize that this comment is tongue-in-cheek, but the reality is that Alphabet is a corporation, not a research university. Corporations by definition need to ship and make money…

It shouldn't be an issue given that HLL is approximate and that relatively few votes are undone. You could also debounce the vote before recording it in the counter, at the cost of…

Another option is Burp Suite ( https://portswigger.net/burp/ ) -- ubiquitous in the security world.

Riemann is a generic event processor. You can use it to generate alerts or aggregate metrics, but you still need something like collectd or telegraf to collect system/app stats fro…

It was always a separate app even after being acquired. That said, Twitter has done pretty much nothing to bridge the two communities.

Phoenix is filled with macro magic, and just like Rails is the overwhelming reason to use Ruby, is pretty much the main reason why people pick up Elixir.
