What you are looking at is corporate environments; the studios of the past (Ex: Westwood and Blizzard) had a small headcounts, and people were direct decision makers. The story of …

lol, the author (or whoever translated) doesn't know that "super" doesn't mean "génial" in the context it would be used in. "super" is also a Latin word that's valid French. > Au-d…

This is pretty much what this solution does, but through udev. Systemd, D-Bus, and udev can be used separately or together to make this easier to listen in userland, it will just b…

There's ads for new shows and movies when you start a new Apple TV+ one, and there's ads for channels and subscriptions. You just didn't notice them?

OpenCV and other onboard computer softwares can be trained to recognize shapes, 10+ years ago there was a demo of a NodeCopter controlled small drone following red flags. Stick the…

I remember NodeCopter and running OpenCV to control them years ago. https://gist.github.com/andrew/2f81952f4867d1b200bb The big difference is they can now run this on the copter in…

It's really sad what happened with Gnome3. Gnome2 was a good functional desktop, sure it was copying the 2000s with windows 98/2000 style, but it worked. Hell, even OpenStep is mor…

https://www.amazon.com/Dokoo-Automatic-Vacuum-Sealed-Dispens... No need for a human to feed the dog, a robot will refill the dog feeder.

This becomes quickly apparent in a smaller company or if you have a manager that knows what they are doing. You'll get hired, if you pass the technical interviews, but if you canno…

yup! FreeBSD jails are essentially what OP wants with chroot++. I was pretty puzzled when Docker and LXC came around as this whole new thing believed to have "never been done befor…

yup. TOML gets pretty close to a `.ini` file as a standardized parser, taking the original format idea a little bit further. https://toml.io/en/

A big one is the lack of peer reviews and processes, including team meetings, that would slow them down. No PM, no UX, just yourself and the keyboard with some goals in mind. No OK…

Yes... If I remember we were aiming for the newly released "Windows 8"-based Phone OS, and the previous version was fully incompatible with it so all apps had to be redone. Tiles w…

Nokia also had a ex-Microsoft exec ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Elop ) that had the goal of ensuring Windows Phone would succeed, and tanked Nokia with it. I was on the …

Simple economics; who pays for the servers and who pays for the front-end execution? Front-ends are essentially free distributed computing resources while the backends need to be p…

> ARM/RISC-V would be interesting once that hardware is standardized. Could you elaborate on this? Both ARM and RISC-V have standardized their hardware feature and different target…

"older" and "newer" is the construction type. Think of an old brick building with several stories and a window per floor vs a new steel + concrete building with windows spanning mu…

Yes it can be ignored if it is insignificant, the issue arises when it isn't and long-term rentals are being transitioned to short-term. Cities and towns should have strict licensi…

There's a difference between purpose-built rentals, and Airbnb taking over what should have been long term rentals. I live in a resort town where we implemented strict rental licen…

> shutting down any new housing construction for decades. That's a problem. No one is saying it isn't. The role of Airbnb cannot be ignored; it is negatively affecting housing avai…

You won't find a specific link, but at some point if you generate millions of urls the 1024 bits will start to return values pretty quick through bruteforce. The one link won't be …

Agreed, not saying what Hamas is doing is any good, they're also doing war crimes. An Hospital, Red Cross camp, and other zones are not military bases.

> Yes there is collateral damage because Hamas uses civilians as human shields, so we have no choice but to kill them too, but we do not specifically target them. > we have no choi…

vache is gendered boeuf :D We'd say "vache" when it comes to milk or the female, but all "vache" are "boeuf". Boeuf is used when the gender does not mean much (like for meat).

Yes, there's a more complicated explanation as it's all happening as part of Bonjour https://developer.apple.com/bonjour/ The sender device broadcasts their identity, while the rec…
