Books designed to actually impart knowledge are rare. Modern publishing is about spine size so a ton of filler.

Canada had software rental that was banned in the NAFTA. A nasty side affect was that opened software could not and still cannot be returned for refund.

Gonna make a guess that this is not meant to be used as a source of propulsion outside the e-bike ecosystem. To lllustrate, here in Toronto, e-bike must have pedals that can be used to actually move the bike. Electric assist must be "pedal assist" and not throttle based. My guess is that the Free Drive system is intended for that purpose.

So the implication of the title is that Powershell is being embraced and loved. Not sure I love it personally Wonder what HN thinks?

Hi. Just some feedback. When I click the icon for Android download it takes me to a feedback page with no way to download the app. Searching for the app in the Canadian Play Store there are dozens of apps called BeAware none of which appear to be yours.

Corporations crippling their platform to sell more products is my pet peeve. Apple is the worst for this.

Also, why is it still so hard to transfer a file from mobile to desktop across platforms.

Agreed.

You should know that in the past when OOP was not common, we had to work a little harder doing things like managing our own memory or building a LAMP server to publish our web pages.

There was a thriving market for language and UI add ons. The result was that each company had their own internal dev tools and recruiting people outside of the company who had experience with those tools was nearly impossible.

All that said, we were at a point where entry to programming was easy (think Visual Basic in the 90s). The quality generally went down as everyone was pushing their "first project" as if it was a polished product. Finding actual good programs on PC is close to the situation on mobile where most of the apps are trash.

Glad I already left the Apple platform as a developer. IF non-existent documentation, overly restrictive environment and the never ending changes requiring app changes and re-submission were not enough.

If you want to make money on the app store you have to either write a game, a gambling app or a social media app.

Seems to work fine for me here in Canuckastan.

Just wait until delivery vehicles are driven remotely by people in poorer countries.

This is a trick people use with great success.

10 billion people on this rock, you’d think they could at least entertain us.

Yes. Yes they have.

Fun thing about early ethernet cards, they had a bad habit of catching on fire. Had it happen a few times.

I read that book. It opens with statistics on the number of photocopies made each year in the USA.

Interesting now that Xerox seems to be dropping the ball on making decent reliable copiers.

So privateers?

Because it is less effective to show ads on a small phone.

Higher contrast option for us old folks please

I heard similar comments when portable audio came out and people were wearing headphones. The simula headset is unfortunately styled (unless you are a nintendo fanboy) but future less striking headsets will be fine.

I routinely see people wearing not too dissimilar headsets as vision aids for severe myopia and macular degeneration.

Please please please us black. The web is not a painting Be nice to us folks with less than perfect vision.

I am hoping that IDEs start adopting accessibility over design. Yes most have some way to make text larger and higher contrast but those function often make the experience unusable.

Sounds bad for supply chain.

Snarky and priesthood mentality has been an issue from the days of Novell Netware and BBSs. Sadly, it is human nature, and is worse in the technical community.

Yeah, the situation in Canada is getting bad. Look for the blood on the streets soon.

If true it won't be long until someone creates a miner for the PS5

As long as I don't have to use his products.

Just want to mention that amateur radio uses BBSs which are accessible over the radio. A different thing but with a similar feel.

Have you tried the Quest 2? It is surprisingly good. The user experience is almost Apple like. Tremendous attention to detail and astonishingly good tracking.

Anything but poor quality.

Willing to put money on them changing to FB.
