Not necessarily, in Canada there's a separate network/infrastucture named [Interact]( https://www.interac.ca/en/ ). All the banks are on it and most merchants have terminals that supports it. It had chip and pi

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 Starcraft 1 is quite interesting as the devs copied the Warc

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 be dependent on your distribution or setup. The kernel essent

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 GPS coord, fly there, and once in a geofence look for a sha

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 instead of being remotely controlled; a

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 more functional than Gnome3 as a daily computer inter

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 cannot contribute at the level they hired you, you'll b

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 before"; FreeBSD had supported a very similar concept f

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 OKRs or tickets to close. It's a bit like any early indus

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 were the new thing to build for.

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 paid for.

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 licenses as otherwise the whole town would be on Airbnb, wit

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.

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).
