Sinofsky kept talking about how many devs were making apps in JavaScript and how they would just be at home in Win8. This was before React, ES5 (no native classes! or promises!), etc- jQuery was still very popular and SPAs were extremely ra

They were recovering from all of the security fiascos of software that wasn’t being updated. So they pushed as much as they could into the core libraries and forced only one version to be installed at a time- so they could easily push secur

Took MS 14 years to figure that one out. Even with accelerating tech timelines, Jassy has some time.

This is why the military is supposed to stay out of US cities and spy agencies respect citizens privacy. Cowards all around with no moral compass.

So easy to protect from the sun and the reward in the mountains is so wonderful. Terrible waste to stay locked in. Wouldn’t be surprised if this were another contributor to less heart disease- so much incentive to get outside and do stuff.

From a source closely involved with this- Amazon tracks many productivity metrics of employees and was seeing very significant differences between in-person and remote people, which drove the decision. Source left since so I don’t know how

The actual issue is that the winning bid was $7m- $1.75m cash + $5.25m in debt forgiveness. The question is whether that bid is higher than the competing $3.5m all-cash bid. That $5.25m debt forgiveness would have to be valued at $1.75m or

These limits are far below standard scraping rates and deeply affecting the casual users, have to presume intentionally.

Same- rate limited after 20 mins. Way to force me to move elsewhere. Advertising must really be in the hole to force users off the site like this.

We’re laughing at the game creators. They’re the ones who decided to rewrite the rules, often with little understanding of economics.

Not using your Garmin for hiking is very surprising. Primary reason is that tracking position for the duration drains battery where Garmin can do 50hrs of it. This gives me a .gpx file of the route for future reference and passing to friend

If I invest right now, what are the chances that this round strikes it rich? The problem is that if a breakthrough is not achieved in this particular round then the company essentially goes bankrupt and my investment is worth zero. Quantum

Years ago I bought a bag of Bluetooth 4.1 USB dongles for development only to find every single one of them had the same MAC address. Ugh.

What if the ToS change is to curb abuse? Can users just opt-out and continue their abuse? What if the abuse is costing Twitter significant money? I see language about decompiling. Do they have to continue providing service to companies who

Seriously- just do the innerHTML assignment on li.innerHTML omitting the title, followed up by a simple li.querySelector().textContent = todo.title.

VP level often has fairly high turnover, maybe that's where this originates from. In my experience at the VP level you have many highly skilled reports who are gunning for your job. Once you get the VP job then there may be many more e

You've never gone to the grocery store with $10 for a week of food for you and a child. A whole lot of people are living day-to-day- lying to the IRS about their number of dependents, just trying to make it through today. The basic dai

Since land is a limited asset they can effectively corner the market in specific regions and gain pricing power, allowing them to turn that 20% purchase price premium into a hefty profit. Cities can counter this by allowing more new constru
