It's absolutely not. Waste is a solved problem, you bury it VERY deep using the same borehole technology currently used for fracking. And I think you grossly overestimate the amount of waste a nuclear plant generates. Here's a sou

I really miss Rdio, it really was the best music streaming service.

What hoops do I have to jump through to get some extensions on Chrome on Android?

I'll always remember when Leo Laporte and Kevin Rose were racing to see who would be the first person to 1M Twitter followers. Only for Britney Spears to join Twitter and demolish the follower counts.

The major difference being that Swartz wasn't rich.

He covers that further down in the tweets, near the end of the thread. He doesn't necessarily agree with the Reddit way of doing things, but it has interesting compromises wrt privacy.

Of course that would be impossible to differentiate, but adding it to the privacy policy is what Google requests. Adding it and still having it refused can absolutely be blamed on Google.

MiniDisc in an MO media. And I'm not sure about Japan, but judging from what came over to North America and the UK, writing to MD was SUPER popular. Though that might be because the major use case in export markets was as a more compac

Well that sucks, my mid-2012 MBP needs a new battery. I guess it's back to 3rd party options.

Kia Niro EV. It's basically just a car but with EV systems. I've owned one for 2 years now. The newer ones have slightly larger touchscreens for Android Auto/Apple Carplay but there's buttons for everything. The Hyundai

Are you Android Auto in Canada? I've had it tell me numerous times that I'd be home at 8:04 micro-meters.

As someone who worked at IBM for 6 years, I'm fairly sure no one in management above me had to go through that asshole test.

Because the goal of the assignment isn't to write code, it's to learn what code to write. If you're copy and pasting from someone else you're potentially skipping out on a lot of learning. Granted, good luck passing the

My big issue is the backgrounding. I like watching a video while cooking, but I also need to use timers. Not having the video stop and re-orient itself to portrait while I quickly set or dismiss a timer is excellent. I also find the UI duri

The functionality isn't really the same. Yes, you can export animations, but it's much more difficult to provide the same level of interactive game that Flash did.

Also a Canadian who was driving a 12 year old Mazda 6. Bought a Kia Niro EV in Sept 2020. Was maybe a bit premature but the charging network in Ontario at least is pretty decent. I've had a 30 amp charger installed at home, and I'

I mostly agree with this, though I will say that in games it's usually producers and product managers that decide on the bug fix vs new features balance. It's not uncommon to ship a game with hundreds of "known shippable&quot

That's really strange, I've got it set as the default in Firefox on 3 different computers (2 mac 1 windows) and it's stayed the default over several updates. I think something might be wrong with your computer?

I've interviewed there twice and I gave up on them twice because honestly it was about the same thing with no one knowing what they were doing and being EXTREMELY slow about everything else. In the space between my first screening and

I don't really have have any complaints, it's really easy to tell which tab is where and the mouseover makes it even clearer. Does it look better? Maybe. Does it function worse? No.

Same, Nebula/Curiosity Stream, plus YouTube and Crunchyroll (free tier) is more than enough to entertain me when I need it. I don't want to buy content by the "channel" and I'll do literally whatever I need to for i

If you're interested in this sort of thing, check out the TMDC or Text-Mode Demo Competition were it's the same idea but 80x50 text instead of textboxes. Hasn't really been run in a while, but it's a really fun exercise.

Java is yes, but the JVM runs other things and things like JRuby use the JVM bytecode for invoke_dynamic. There were a few things rewritten to use that bytecode from what I remember but it's been a while since I've worked in that

So what? I would argue that most companies don't live and die on their technical merit. I don't think that Toyota cares if they're using the latest JS framework or if their devs are 10% slower than the SV ideal. I for one str

There are no zero cost abstractions. (According to Chandler Carruth, and he makes a convincing point). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHIkrotSwcc
