Google is an overwhelming market leader vertically and horizontally. Not only do they not have to compete with their competition. They don't have to compete for their competition's business partners. They don't have to compet

I think it was obviously intentional because they haven't accepted the solution yet. The purpose is to announce that they are aware of the claims of a solution, not to announce that a solution has been accepted. They're waiting on

Okay, I don't really feel like your going for a good faith interpretation of the points I'm trying to make. You're taking things hyper literally and out of context. I don't feel like you're really trying to understa

You're mistaking shitty software for software that doesn't work. Shitty software is 100% functional. You just hate it. By intentionally picking the software that eliminates the UI, when the whole benefit of computers as a tool is

In my experience, this is the only kind of software that ends up not sucking. If development is not driven by users in a very intimate way -- like being one and the same person -- then you routinely end up with necessary features only half

I'm a native speaker and I agree. "Ought" can connote an obligation or responsibility of some sort. "Should" is used more often when the outcome is out of any control. It might only be the speaker's belief. But

I think when people are complaining about Captcha they're complaining about yet another "pick 6-20 pictures of traffic lights/school busses/stairs/stop signs/bicycles."

I mean... yes. Blacksmiths, wheelwrights, and wainwrights transitioned to auto mechanic or carpentry work. Not all of them, but for most the skills were portable. Several of the carriage-making businesses transitioned to automobiles. Studeb

You still likely need a human bypass. "I was injured or disfigured so my face no longer anything for you to compare to. I do not now, and never shall again resemble the image in the system." Similar things happen when you require

It doesn't really change Euler's formula. It just adds a factor for x to it (or an additional term to hide inside sin and cos as functions). That's less convenient, not less true. However, I don't really see a benefit ga

In Windows 9x (95/98/ME) the swap file could expand indefinitely, with no mechanism to limit its size. Under Windows NT 4.0, Win2k, or WinXP and on, the page file has a built-in size limit that you can set. You can indirectly forc

It was always like that. It's due in part to the number of people that kept posting screenshots of their code in their question, and the number of people that couldn't search to save their life. The noise ratio on incoming questio

According to the documentation, CPU requests don't cap usage . They're not used for that. They're used to gauge how much CPU you say you will use. They're used for allocation and pod assignment. They never throttle yo

They just recently fixed an issue where the start menu would render slowly. The solution was to let the CPU utilization and frequency spike immediately when opening the start menu instead of slowly ramping up. Of course, that means Microsof

That's because this article is the journalistic equivalent of a retweet. The article links to a WSJ[0] article (which is going to be paywalled for many people). Any time you get an article like this TH one, you should try to read the s
