Agreed, I have an at least 10 year old Brother laser printer and while it doesn’t support any new standard like AirPrint, their iOS app can still print to it across the network, direct from an iPhone/iPad, despite it being made likely before iPhones/iPads could even print.
Kinetic energy rises with the square of velocity... and the Porsche is much more likely to be driving unsafely/like an ass than the truck, or in my experience, even a BMW...
They are plug doors, as with all other passenger jet airliners today. The door goes in at an angle (eg. 737) or part of it slides up/down (eg. 777) to fit through the door frame.
If the computer can identify the device’s capabilities (using some kind of bus command, I’m not very familiar with the USB protocol) separately from speed testing the cable+device combination, no reason why it couldn’t work for USB 2/3/4.
Of course, this approach relies on the device accurately reporting its capabilities, which may not be the case for the more cheap-and-cheerful gadgets.
Not really, no. Python/Ruby/Perl interpreters are not “integrated” into the OS like AppleScript and Automator are. They’re just some binaries sitting in /usr/local/bin.
Another reason: pre-auth will deduct up to $125 from your available balance, no matter how small the actual purchase is, which you won’t get back for a couple of days.
I think it’s one of those things you learn from your parents by riding in the car with them, and the relative age one starts driving vs moving far from their childhood home.
I did both - learning names of roads, landmarks and routes from the back seat, then later studying their Gregory’s (Sydney street directory), more than my parents ever did, and navigating for them from the back seat.
To this day some of my friends think I’m some crazy human GPS for being able to remember how to get somewhere after traveling there only once, sometimes 10+ years earlier.
10-30% doesn't even seem excessive if there is no product today.
There are so many startups that post on this board with an open-ended title similar to "Looking for an engineer to build our product", then you go to their website and they're offering 0.5% equity. It's almost insulting.
It's not so much the trains that are terrible as the 1800s-era track geometry that is terrible. There are mountains all the way down the east coast; any high-speed line is going to be (a) necessarily built inland and separate from any existing line and (b) phenomenally expensive.
Once did a project like this that grabbed Seattle's realtime data for some bus stops around my place. It was an old Windows CE PocketPC thingy, so the tools were primitive (.NET compact framework 1.0, basically).
Maybe a bit too primitive. It worked pretty well for about a year, until I found that the CompactFlash WiFi adapter was only 802.11b and there was nothing newer available that was compatibility with the PocketPC. It ended up being a choice between keeping the gadget running, or being able to run my WiFi network at 802.11g speeds with modern (WPA) security, so the latter won out.
Yeah, I once had an idea for auto-scrolling based off tracking eye gaze through the webcam. I never told Microsoft or Samsung about it, but they totally stole my idea!!1eleventyone
