Both criticisms are pointless - 1. Borg precedes K8s and likely is tightly coupled with Google's backend infra - that's to say, Borg gets architected around Google's existing workf…

Backspace has traditionally been a back button shortcut. In a similar complaint, the current key combo to navigate back across all platforms doesn't perform that action when a text…

Using collusion without knowing what it means... Businesses make business deals all the time. If I had a company that made an inferior product and wasn't able or willing to invest …

I'm sure there's a fair amount of business logic between what's in the database and what's delivered to the presentation layer. Pulling from a database means that the new company h…

It's a nice callback to early phone infrastructure, which leveraged barbed-wire fences to bring service to those who lived in rural areas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbed_wire…

> Android-on-Windows compatibility layer This was one of the big mistakes made by OS/2 when they were competing against Windows. They created a compatibility layer for Windows appl…

Just a quick nitpick, I would like to see the links expand to their entire parent elements, so the entire box is a clickable link, not just the text inside.

My most hated at the moment? Those ads that hijack page scrolling and don't let go until you've scrolled the ad past. Wouldn't be a huge problem if it didn't totally fuck up my bro…

I remember reading about this a few years ago, and observed network activity using Facebook. They certainly did capture what you type but fail to post. I would put serious money on…

There has to be a space between the OS and X for it to work for me.

It's about the journey, not the destination. But are you seriously suggesting he change it to a clickbait URL?

As far as explanations are concerned, I've always heard that you should create a company and claim to do freelance work between getting fired and finding a new job. Any other tips?…

We certainly do have to keep developing totally new antibiotics. Problem is many of the new antibiotics that we have are tweaks on existing antibiotics. We're in such a rush to hav…

The depression doesn't help, but this sounds more like stress. Don't know how much it will help, as I don't suffer from depressin, but occasionally I'll get myself into a rut like …

The point about WCHAR size reminded me of how little browser security mattered back then. Kinda interesting to think about how the internet was so fresh that there wasn't such a fo…

From what I've read in the past, it doesn't cover your thumbprint. [1] Thumbprints are physical, so they don't get the same protections. It's kind of like having a physical key to …

All of their interests and investments are all justified because it either drives people to look at advertisements or it generates more information about the users to make their ad…

Why would this create a risk of deficiency for most people? Excepting exercise - the maximum daily recommended amount is 2,300mg; for people who have problems with sodium (particul…

Of course it's a preference thing, but I love the ability to click wherever my fingers may be - I also have never had my fingers accidentally move when clicking. I also really like…
