There's an update buried at the bottom of the article. Ton Roosendaal tweeted[1] that they sent Blender a contract to enable monetization. I can see why he doesn't want to do it based on the principles of the Blender Foundation.

I think this article is a bit misleading. According to the original article[1], they're not getting rid of the self checkout lanes, they're getting rid of "Mobile Scan & Go" which is using a mobile app to scan and c

Yeah, something like "Hello, I'm Rogers' Assistant..." to fit current Google naming conventions would probably be fine.

Looks like Creative Cloud leaks handles. Two and a half days uptime, no app updates in Creative Cloud and it had ~16,700 open handles.

I only noticed recently as they seem to have gotten even more aggressive about it. I often watch things fullscreen at 4K at my desk(49" TV being used as a monitor, it's basically 2x2 24" monitors) and 1080p streams, like Ama

Why not just use an extension like Disconnect to prevent Facebook tracking?

Amazon forces 1-click use in places like Kindle and Video purchases. I find this is a detriment if I want to purchase multiple things from these areas since each results in a credit card charge and too many similar charges or too little tim

As far as I understood, the "fake" part of these fake eclipse glasses is calling them eclipse glasses with the implication that they are safe when they are not or not made to the proper standards, not that they were forging real m

Assuming you got paper glasses, on the inside of the arms of the glasses should be information about the ISO certifications and who manufactured it. Compare this against NASA's approved manufacturer list. If there's no info or t

Presumably they were contacted but the home owners association failed to keep an up-to-date mailing address with the tax authority. It's not the city's responsibility to determine if mailing addresses are accurate, especially f

I'd like to hear more about how you would use constraints in Postgres to control state transitions in the accumulating snapshot table.

All the more reason to do research into making sure there isn't a safety issue here. Stats like this just make people and companies complacent until the next tragedy strikes.

The 12.9" iPad Pro + Pencil + 60hz app works very well with no behavior like that. My guess is that it's a beta iOS issue because there seems to be a lot of churn with major iOS versions when it comes to the pencil. Apps usually
