I hope the staples app has a data breach so I can call all those dumb motherfuckers one at a time and ask them what they were thinking when the installed the staples app.

When LEDs were first getting put onto skyscrapers as massive decorations someone here posted that this was a great example of why technology won't save us from global warming. Here is a breakthrough in lighting that is 10x more efficient, and all people are going to do is use 10x more of them, netting zero actual energy savings.

On my mazda3 you can press the gas down a little and instead of accelerating it overrides the range finder. That lets you avoid the issue where the car slams on the brakes because someone merged in.

In the year 2050 all intersections are toll intersections. Each intersection is owned by one of several companies and the free market determines the optimal routes to take through any given area. Of course it can be difficult to run all of toll apps on your phone. Luckily, major advances in cellphone technology allow thousands of mandatory apps to run while still providing nearly the same performance as today.

You scan your credit card, walk in, grab whatever hot dogs or snacks or beer you want, and walk out. I’ve used it like 5 times and it’s never over or under charged me, even with dozens of people milling about in there. And you can't think of any downsides or other applications for this technology that might not be worth skipping the checkout?

Kit Walker posted:Can they even track direct downloads? Like, in Germany torrenting is potentially a huge risk because there are some law firms that camp public trackers and if they see your IP downloading something they'll send you a fine for like 3000 euros or whatever. However, they don't do poo poo if you illegally stream something or just directly download it, and I assumed that was simply because it's harder to determine if you're doing that. Surely they'd be able to get the ISP to fork over that information if it was readily available, but I don't know if that's how it works This is a consequence of how torrents work. If someone adds their computer to the swarm they can see your computer connect to them for uploading/downloading. In contrast if you directly download content from a server only you and the server operator have a direct simple record of what you downloaded. Security is a sliding scale not an absolute. If the CIA wants to know what you're doing on the internet they're going to find out; it doesn't matter what VPN you use. However, if the MPAA wants to find out what you're downloading their toolset is a lot more limited. Torrenting on a public tracker is so insecure that even the MPAA can figure it out, but the direct download would require the police/warrent/etc in advance of you getting in trouble, and whos going to bother with that?

The Moon Monster posted:Like 90% of all software development since, I dunno, 2006 seems to be directed entirely at a tiny sliver of power users and even then it's like 50/50 on whether they appreciate it or are annoyed by it. Programs are using 1000x the resources for 1.17x the functionality. LividLiquid posted:My last partner was a developer and confirmed something I'd long-suspected: your job is dependent on a thing *never* being finished. So, you either keep trying to fix what isn't broken and ruin the app, website, or software, or you start adding poo poo that 99% of people will never use and hope your bosses still get excited about it. To add to this, if you stop adding features while you're revenue negative your product is instantly dead.

theflyingexecutive posted:Discord doesn't have ads, so there's no revenue to be gained for loving around with the ui so much Right, there is no money in running it either. The idea is you keep working on it until you hit a critical mass of people, and then sell it to a another company that will monetize it. But if you're not making money and you're not selling, you have to be working on it. If you don't do any of those 3 your company is over.

If you want to change the status of a task you just click a button to move it to the next status, except every time you do it opens a loving popup directly over the button to inform you that you just clicked the button. I run into one of these daily which is a box that pops up and says "Are you sure you want to acknowledge this page?" The use case for this is if you wanted to work on the issue while your pager keeps going off? Yes, please keep beeping, I'm going to go make a sandwich and I don't want to forget? It's insane.

Suspect A posted:2 x 4s are now 1.5 x 3.5 in actual dimension. I was curious about this, and sure enough two by four is a name that means 1.5 x 3.5" and its because historically they could cut them 2"x4" and then when the boards dried out they would shrink down to about 1.5x3.5" and eventually it was formalized like this to make building more consistent.
