Not sure Epic, who owns Unreal engine would be happy with optimizing for SteamOS and its API's after the whole debacle with Epic Store vs Steam.

On the topic of vaping to quit I would add something I learned my self.

I tried to quit smoking with vaping 3 times before it worked and it was due to a multitude of reasons.

1. Cheap vaping kits. They leak, are hard to change the coils and to fill up with liquid. On my current attempt, I got a proper set (40eu) and made sure it fills up by unscrewing the top and not the whole top bit. It stops leaking, its easier to fill up and its less of a chore.

I think that was the main reason as with cheap kits, they would leak, be hard to maintenance and it was such a hassle that picking up a cigarette and lighting it up was much easier.

2. Flavours, as you mentioned finding a flavour you like and sticking to it is key. I tried many and found just the right flavour level that suits me and it was a huge break through for me.

I started on 12mg nicotine level, lowered to 6mg after 4 weeks, and 6 months later I'm on 3mg and feel so much better. My next step is to go no nicotine vape then kick it entirely.

Instead of Ducky One 2, I would look into either Varmilo or Leopold. Similar design, better quality and in the case of Leopold its very understated, no RGB and game-ry branding.

Looks good but if I may add a suggestion is to remove the slides from google docs. Maybe let us download them locally?

1. Corp VPN's will block google docs very regularly 2. Some people refuse to use google services 3. It shouldn't take you to a different domain to read the learning material

Another one bites the dust

Reading that article it actually makes sense. But to potentially spend between 78,000 and 120,000 dollars a year to manage your SaaS would require a high assessment if it's worth it. Especially when they are targeting small to medium companies, for which that money could be spend on a few junior developers, sales people, or on ACTUAL SaaS.

It's a tough sell but I can get the idea

Vendr.com: A SaaS to keep track of your SaaS subscriptions.

and a 6.5k or 10k PER MONTH for someone to buy your SaaS subscriptions seems super expensive. I'm not too versed in the SaaS market but is this really something that you need a dedicated "SaaS expert" to manage for you?

I did a 6 month internship in IBM 2 years ago and I'm glad I didn't get an offer at the end of it. The culture, the politics and the fear was too much for me.

Every week there would be some sort of a "commotion" or "going away" party as people were let go. It mostly DBA's and Unix Support guys that were clearly over 40 years old.

My manager was straight up implying "if you don't get the work done, you won't get a good reference for me and you'll be on the next list". I'm in my 20s and that was the first time someone in a professional setting threatened me in such manner.

I needed a reference after I left, but from my team the manager was let go, 3 out 5 team members were let go and the others and the remaining 2 left. The manager of the manager was forced to a sabbatical and just like that poof, my old team was gone.

I will never go back to IBM, no matter how cool and hip they make it for my generation.

Interesting.

I get a 0.7 on Chrome with no account logged in and uBlock Origin installed.

Same browser, same plugin but incognito it's 0.1.

Papa google needs my data to trust me. Makes complete sense but still interesting that you can affect your score by giving in.

Oh that explains it. guess they could add it world wide

Seems like Google is starting to do some work on trying to fight it.

Few days ago went on Google play store and was greeted with a modal telling me I can install other search bars and it gave a list of Google, Bing, Yahoo and DDG.

After that it tells you there are other browsers available to download and it gives a choice of Chrome, Firefox, opera and some others.

Good move but will it be enough in a high profile case? We shall see

TL;DR of the authors argument is that you could plant someone inside Lets Encrypt to take over the KMS. No further mention of how, goes on bashing it because its free and has no "skin in the game". And all of his worries are due to the people managing certs in an organisation, not Lets Encrypt itself.

Follow by a careful pointer that you should buy certs from a CA and not trust "free" stuff. And on top of that BUY CYBER INSURANCE.

Jesus, is this the new hot thing in online marketing? Love the name drop of Digi Cert in it too. Gonna go buy some certs of them /s

My mistake,

looked into it again and it seems Chrome enabled it again in Chrome 68: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25823448/ng-form-and-aut...

Firefox had it disabled too but enabled it back again: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Securi...

And IE is just a cluster f.

My point being, Autocomplete off is not a valid solution as it can break at an updates notice, and the code hacks, while may work, are a pain to deal with

'Autocomplete' doesn't work for Firefox (since version 38), Google Chrome (since 34), and Internet Explorer (since version 11

Huge pain

During my time in IBM I was walking by the "main" Watson server everyday into work. I was always impressed at the package, and what ever they said it could do.

Finally got my hands on it and was incredibly disappointed. Lacking features, archaic interface, and not delivering on what it was promised. Talked to some guys working for the Watson team and they told me that half of the AI stuff is just them doing it manually under the guise of "integration and configuration".

I did have fun "talking" to Watson whenever I was bored at work, trying to make him swear

I remember my parents telling me that when the explosion happened, the schools forced all kids to either A). swallow an iodine capsule (if under 8 years old) or B). To drink a tablespoon of iodine.

This was in Poland so close enough to be affected by the fallout.

No cash reward

Well that just sucks. It was clearly in scope and should have been rewarded. Clear example of information leakage.

Can a mod alter the title? Nothing to do with GDPR. OP is a bit confused it seems.

This was an independent action by the Dutch Data protection authority.

I have a motherboard from 2016 that has USB 3.0 ports and get this, PS/2 ports. It's nice having choice. I use the PS/2 port for my keyboard, leaving 1 extra USB slot free.

In my phone I have Bluetooth and a headphone jack. I love the choice there too.

Point being, it doesn't have to be one or the other. You can have both. And 3.5 headphone jack is not even comparable to PS/2

Some random site says that another site reported and doesn't link it to the original article?

Is this them getting ready for the link tax? So now we will see these "news" sites that regurgitate other peoples news omit links to the original articles as to not pay this "tax"?

Will this actually be beneficial in the long run? Omitting core internet functionality, linking, because it costs extra. Only help to spread fake news as links to sources and references will be omitted. Or is there some clause that only tech giants will be taxed? How do you define a giant then. Certainly google but what about Reddit? Or Hacker News?

Don't have answers to any of these questions but until we know more I'll be very skeptical of this "link tax"

It's hilarious. Doesn't work in IE, in Edge the button to start doesn't show and if you go directly to https://2018.stateofjs.com/introduction/ the navigation and styling is broken.

And in 10 the floating squares don't even show up. And it doesn't have fall-back for browsers with no SVG support - really nitpicky but it is an actual problem.

Had a similar experience while on holiday. Should have done research as I found out 90% of card readers only accept Maestro cards and reject Visa.

What a shit show

When I think about how volatile our biggest systems ( finance, politics etc) and how complex they are I first get too confused to understand them, then frustrated, then I lose hope.

Do we just throw stuff at the wall and hope something sticks? Or is it all just a big gamble?

Between all the pollsters, financial forecasts, weather forecasts or even project planning, is it just a game of chance if you are correct in your assumptions and calculations?

That's definitely a bargain for them if it's approved. I was distraught when I heard the news that my e-mail and info got leaked but thankfully didn't have any financial loss. But thinking of all the other people, $350 is pitiful.

Off-topic but I always get confused when there is news about acquired companies.

"Yahoo? Weren't they bought out by AOL? Wait no...AOL is owned by Verizon. So is Verizon paying? No it's Yahoo, but their subsidiary in Asia.."

Miss the times when if you read Company X, it actually was that company and not a part of some convoluted conglomerate.

I think you are being down voted for not being relevant to the article.

Feels more like you are starting a fire next to another one rather than talking about the currently one ablaze. (To expand on your analogy)

That's fair, perspective from actual founders definitely is a more interesting point of view.

Didn't want to give an off-topic anecdote but thought from my experience seeing what can go wrong for founders of a start-up I would share my experience.

I was part of a start-up that still exists but it seems to be stagnating. i left due to the founders having almost nothing in common except for making money.

The site is like squarespace but for local shops and businesses. The founders met on an airplane and thought they can make a business. So you had the business CEO with no technical background living in X country and the ruthless CTO with his team in Y country.

I left ship when the CTO cleaned out the bank account and disappeared. The Y country never extradite their citizens or charges them for any international crimes so he got off scott free while the CEO had to "use" his car insurance to get money to keep the business afloat and pay the out-sourced developers. (He set his car on fire to get a payout)

Edit: I guess the lesson is that the founders need a vision and co-operation to make it work. These two basically had a common goal of making money of a fad. Back then the latest craze was to become a market place for other businesses ie. JustEat, SquareSpace etc.

Another would be that the core team better stick together. The founders were separated by hundreds of miles. The business side was in EU while the CTO and the devs where not. This caused communication issues, planning problems and of course money.

I left because of money too I guess. After working 6 months on a "paid" internship which was 50 eu a week I was offered a contract that would give me 0.5% equity, no raise and force me to work full time AND when doing my final year college thesis to be based for something the company can use.

"I thought everybody would be smarter"

I don't remember where I heard it but I think has some truth to it. A bachelor believes he's the smartest A master thinks he's not smart at all A Phd understands no one is smart
