Same! Google Inbox was perfect for me. Turned my inbox into an actionable flow. It was too beautiful for this world.

What was quite bizarre with the 4G deceit was that at least in SF, AT&T were pretty aggressive with the real LTE rollout so they had to rebrand that to 4G LTE.

Correct!

I for one can't read a word while there are moving pictures around. That's one of the main reasons I block ads. So please, remove the video and stick with stills! Animated stills while scrolling is fine, however.

Don't forget ScummVM!

I remember we paid Circle CI ungodly amounts to host a dozen trash can Mac Pros to run our iOS CI. Early Swift versions caused huge spikes in build times.

A business I run depends heavily on Google Sheets that I inject values into and read computed values out of. That lets us define rather complex business logic in spreadsheet form, and business and finance people can easily tweak it. Everybody is very happy with this solution.

Crashes in cycling aren't nearly as common as you claim, and a fair amount of them are caused by clueless spectators.

You're the one who said a wide person has to buy two seats in a comment above. Then we must define what the dimensions of a seat are to know what we're tealking about.

I played through the first three about a year ago, but I had to resort to walkthroughs for hints for a few things that I just don't get how you would figure out... except just trying everything. Great games for sure, but man were games hard back in the day.

This is giving me flashbacks to writing my thesis back in 2005 in lab in Germany. I remember spending almost a full working day on getting the logos of the two institutes I was working for aligned horizontally in LaTeX.

You can create amazingly beautiful publications in LaTeX and I'm not aware of anything equal for writing mathematical formulas, but I would probably not recommend anyone use LaTeX for a publication in 2023.

Since you're already in Google Cloud, perhaps try their PubSub. Not sure what features you need but that should cover most.

Sort of makes you wonder if the corn lobby was funneling money to this lawsuit. Sounds like a conspiracy theory, but you never know.

Before the second cup

Pro tip: You can turn them off entirely.

As a European living in the US I don't get that. Seems very similar to me.

Nope. Seems like a scam like the Kensington Stone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensington_Runestone

I ran my BBS on OS/2 for a couple years. Loved 4OS2.

Same in Sweden. I am actually an certified engineer, with a fancy diploma proving that I may use the title.

Looks like the exact machine they get installed in Mad Men. I assume the prop department did their research.

My first job as a SWE was at Ericsson, and they also had this requirement. Solution: gotos everywhere!

Your dev environment is so resource constrained that the size of the repo is a factor?

Machine learning has pretty much solved this. They detect almost all outright fraud immediately.

Try living in Britain which uses alphanumerical postal codes. Confuses the hell out of everybody in the US.

(It does have the curious upside that your postal code + street number is almost always a unique identifier, so most forms start by asking for those and then autocomplete the rest.)

I moved one of my smaller projects from Heroku to AppEngine in the spring. Took me about a day to set up the infra and move the DNS. Hosting went from $30 to $1 a month.

That seems to be a common feeling, that I somehow don't share. I gutted and rebuilt my last house and everybody wanted to come help me demo. I didn't want to deal with the liabilities associated with that so I generally declined.

You pretty much need it for Google Ads. And many businesses need Google Ads to make money.

Heck, a pencil worked great back when I was a kid!

As someone who has to deal with IT security, I will never install anything local if I can avoid it.

It is broadly true that you cannot accumulate wealth from salary income as the salary bands are massively compressed.

They did for a long time, but they eventually switched to an Eclipse based system. I believe there was a Nokia team in Dallas that built that.
