I'm convinced that every single business out there eventually gets run from an Excel spreadsheet. At the end of the day, they're just rolling up rollups all the way to the top, where some guy is looking at Scenario A vs Scenario

Exactly. The web of yesteryear where you could make a living one-manning a website is practically gone. If you told me 20 years ago that I'd pine for the days of blogs, I'd have laughed. Now who's laughing...

sun imploded for a lot of reasons, android games wasn't a huge factor. their ridiculously expensive hardware and consultants? much bigger.

Awww... so sad to see this. I know phones have basically eaten everybody's lunch except serious photographers. It's the march of progress, but their mirrorless cameras were solid. I have a couple Fuji X-series bodies myself, and I

it's not reimplementing it from scratch. it's developing a runtime engine that can read the original diablo 2 files . It says right in the README with big letters. You can't use this unless you have a legal copy of diablo2 a

I've been taking notes in Markdown for years. Your search and linking functionality to make it a great hybrid nodes-wiki system is fantastic. I'm gonna give this one the 'ol college try. It seems to hit my sweet spots.

I'm curious about the dramatically increased mortality rate with diabetes. Given America's situation, especially with insulin prices at a perverse high, that could be catastrophic.

It's the "without escape" part that's important. It's like the song "Common People" (by Pulp, made famous by Mr Shatner). Nobody likes a tourist. As long as you can call your dad (or your broker, or your b

Duh. Nearly everything they've predicted has come to pass, including this. This is just confirmation of a hypothesis.

can't alternate browser makers who base on chromium simply disable that portion? like, I expect identifying users was a key business concern in moving Edge to Chromium. Is there something (other than work) preventing them from making i

well, when you lack all trust in the current government to do anything that doesn't directly benefit them, that's how.

Uhhhh... Octobox clearly ripped off Google's Gmail. Flat design with left-side tabs is not a UI innovation.

they'd be surrounded by constant quackery otherwise. ideas are a dime a dozen. clinical test plans and execution are not.

they hit that sweet spot of folks who like to play games but aren't into the graphics as much as spec-heads. you can argue all you want about frame rates and resolutions and shaders, but at the end of the day, smash brothers is consist

Prior to Reggie, NOA was just a distribution company. They handled orders and collected their middle-man fees. A vanishingly small percentage worked on actual games. NOA started taking some cues from Microsoft, and started moving some techn

It's a feature until apple makes a moral call on software. they banned all vaping-related software, but this also included apps to control folks' medical dosages of cannabis. while it was (kinda) laudible they didn't want to

Until I can get a browser adblocker on a non-rooted, non-unlocked iphone, it's not a switch worth making. firefox mobile + ublock origin is the only way I find the mobile web tolerable.

this is exactly right. folks could likely get by anyway, but it would be dramatically reduced. until there are consequences for lying online, and as long as there's money to be made by lying, enough people will be assholes and do it.

funny thing, they could put a molten salt reactor and a solar farm smack in the middle of that thing and likely not have to use petrol ever again.

at least the packages show up on time. fedex is shitty at people AND shitty at package delivery.

fedex was also caught looking the other way when it came to illegally shipping firearms across state lines. i think they just ended their NRA partnership earlier this year? they're just a crap company. if you ship fedex, your best case

and according to nearly every ups/fedex/usps shipping center worker, that doesn't compare to the abuse they suffer before they're on the truck. it's why apple put tilt sensors and shock sensors in their bulk iphone

just like most items are prime shipping after a 2-3 day delay in "order processing" ... 2 day prime coming 5 business days later is not cool.
