YubiKeys have almost every imaginable form factor these days. Here’s the USB-C version without NFC:

They’re talking about operationally. They don’t want to configure and distribute a bajillion dongles to users.

I never claimed you did. I just clarified which plan you were on, and added how their other plan works. This could be nice for others to know. I don’t know why you’d take that as a personal attack, but I certainly didn’t intend it as one.

I can’t be bothered to research every plan to answer this question, but Mint Mobile was dirt cheap while using T-Mobile service. They probably still are, but it arguably doesn’t count anymore since T-Mobile acquired them.

This is the Unlimited Plus plan. Their Simply Unlimited plan throttles you after 5 GB of hotspot usage, but phone data is unlimited.

They absolutely can, several carriers who use other carriers are cheaper than who they lease service from. They won’t be paying consumer prices to use those towers.

It all depends on what margins they have, what extra services they provide, and whether they have other ways of monetizing you. They might even be reselling at a loss to boost their initial market share. In Google’s case, it’s safe to assume they want your data and sacrifice some margins to get it.

Although to be fair most simulation code I’ve come across was written by Physics majors who really shouldn’t be writing code. Most of those implementations are a crime against engineering and humanity alike.

They do the job, though, and I suppose crimes against engineering are better than crimes against physics, if one had to choose.

I think you’ll find that the line between “computer scientist” and “software engineer” is rather blurred.

Depends on the engineer. Some make the software which does the math.

Doesn’t take much to get death threats on the Internet, unfortunately. He probably would have received less of them with a better attitude, though. He wasn’t full-on Ulrich Drepper, but still pretty divisive.

It also didn’t help that Poettering isn’t particularly popular on a personal level. I think there would have been a lot less drama if he had better people skills.

What do you mean?

Still says Becky in “Becky says”.

The tracking disclaimer is the standard message you get when an app uses Google ads. Pay for it and there are no ads, and by extension no tracking.

I don’t see why not. Our bottle opener is a penis. Fun for the whole family!

I don’t know, but my guess would be people gaming the algorithms. Search results have also gone to shit after everyone SEO-ed them to death, and this is probably the same.

My favorite optimization is this restaurant in NYC called Thai Food Near Me:

If they’re a good enough fit, the company might hire them despite not having any open positions. It happened to me once.

Looks like the company is https://www.winterwinds.io/, but they do not appear to have any open job listings at the moment. I assume this is an older screenshot.

Bottom right uses Enlightenment. Bottom left made his own tiling window manager which turned out exactly like the other tiling window managers.

It was running on a pretty old engine. It was based on the Quake 1 engine, but some features of the Quake 2 engine got tacked on along the way. There was some more eye candy added as well, but something with that basis isn’t going to be as power hungry as Unreal.
