Likely to make it simple for retailers to accept euro. Making it exactly two means the retailers would lose money on the exchange spread. Another example is with 1 hkd = 0.97 mop.
Single HTML file conjures up memories of certain Windows software of the 90s where it's a single .exe, installer-free program. It could be copied onto a floppy and run on my school's computer.
We are definitely coming at this from a different angle.
Imo it should be the school's responsibility to stick a notice on the classroom itself or at least send an email, rather than expect each and every student to check an app every day. I hadn't been a high school student in a while through.
I agree that there should be a physical fallback or sorts, but I think it's helpful to be prepared just in case. If the school is too lazy to display schedule changes at school for some reason, the app becomes a necessity and that's just stupid.
It's not exactly new social media product, but Facebook did add messaging to their then Facebook app, build up usage of messaging itself (network effect within the user's friend list), and then split it off into its own Messenger app. They are sharing the same Facebook login through.
After I presented the volatility findings, that changed. Sprints largely had to stay as they were and the team decided what we’d take on after the sprint started. It got better. But the whole sprint/scrum/agile thing is still weird. It can be helpful but in a large org it’s never easy. I hope for further improvement in the area of scheduling/estimation in software development.
> On a first order analysis, Qualcomm doesn't want good x64 support, because good x64 support furthers the lifetime of x64, and delays the "transition" to ARM.
The logical thing for Qualcomm in their current market share to do is to implement TSO now, then after they get momentum, create a high-end/low-end tier, and disable TSO for the low-end tier to force vendors to target both ARM/x68.
What Qualcomm is doing now makes them look like they just don't care.
> create a high-end/low-end tier, and disable TSO for the low-end tier
Wouldn’t that make the low-end tier run faster than the high-end tier, or force them to leave some performance on the table there?
Also, would a per-process flag that controls TSO be possible? Ignoring whether it’s easy to do in the hardware, the only problem I can think of with that is that the OS would have to set that on processes when they start using shared memory, or forbid using shared memory by processes that do not have it set.
How I missed the frame component in modern day applications. They all seem to think that a bold heading and some extra whitespace at the end is sufficient to group things together.
Absolutely. The GroupBox is an essential UI decoration that I create manually now that it's not available in toolkits. I put a checkbox on the outline with a label too, when the entire group of controls is related to a function that can be turned on & off... as used to be standard in many UIs, and very clear.
A related missing-but-important one is a proper TabView. I don't know who first passed off a row of plain buttons as a TabView (probably Apple), but it's trash because (like the lack of GroupBox) it does not demarcate what controls below it are ON the selected tab's view! I mean... duh.
