Like for instance the magic mouse. I've completely destroyed three magic mice by sometimes accidentally touching the mouse to the laptop. It'd not do much of anything initially, but at some point touching them together would kill the connection for a couple seconds, and over time it evolved into the mouse just refusing to connect altogether.
I'm glad my boss pays for this hardware because I'd be incensed to have a mouse THAT expensive break that quickly.
You're close. it loads the actual content while you're developing your app to create skeletons. In production it then uses the data gathered in development.
my previous robot vacuum did not do any mapping, but did always manage to find its way back to the charger. It'd just follow the walls until it saw the chargers IR beacon.
Clever design if you ask me. Doing a lot with a little.
5% on the steam survey though. The jump isn't quite as big from previous years as it seems as they did some corrections to the statistics this year, but 5% is nothing to sneeze at.
I wouldn't be too exited. Statistics like this are very problematic.
For example, I have Steam installed on my Macbook pro and I occasionally play a single very simple game there. Does that make me a macOS gamer? of course not. The vast majority of games I want to play don't work on macOS.
I suspect that most of those 5% are just Linux users who have steam installed and play a small amount of games. Some probably just installed it to check what's available and don't play anything.
Everyone I know who is a "serious" gamer, as in exited about upcoming releases of AAA games is using Windows.
Indeed. The bigger problem is also that consistently the most played games are multiplayer competitive titles with anti-cheat software that is only written for Windows (and sometimes MacOS). I suppose this issue will solve itself, once enough people start playing on Linux. Then developers will be forced to support that too in order to not lose too much of their player base, but we are still a far cry from this threshold.
> like obv, if someone is being this rude to me, all i can do is tell him to come suck my dick
Thaty's far from the only option there, however tempting it is.
> why would i be nice to him?
Because being nice to people is how you get things you want.
> what else could I have done at this point
You could've promised to take the site down, which both functions as a gesture of good will and to calm the deans nerves. At that point you'd probably be in a much better position to start a conversation on how you could make the site in a way the dean is comfortable with.
IMO the ubiquitous Yes/No/Cancel is even worse. No and Cancel are too conceptually close. Doesn't help that these usually show up when you're about to lose all your unsaved changes.
We've got big screens now! use more words! Save changes/Discard changes/Don't quit.
I understand those prompts perfectly fine, but they are panic inducing for e.g. my mom who has about a 50% chance of clicking the wrong button and losing work.
I'd read that differently. periodic doesn't mean continually. I'd expect you'd need to calibrate against a sphygmomanometer weekly or something to that effect. Still a lot more doable than wearing a blood pressure cuff 24/7, even if the calibration interval is fairly frequent.
