Nexus 4-6 were manufactured by LG IIRC.

Jake Seliger, HNer, jseliger - https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jseliger, who died a couple of years ago, had exhausted the current standards of treatment for head-neck cancer. Drugs available through clinical trials were his last option.

But the workflow to access drugs via clinical trial is terrible. Directions/Instructions aren't documented. Unwritten limitations and optimizations.

Jake and his wife documented his path through the process.

GNU gold is deprecated and will probably be removed soon. ( https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Gold-Linker-Deprecated )

But back in the late 2000s, the blog posts were a combination of algorithm optimization class and software history since no one seemed to step up to cleanup the technical debt that GNU ld had accumulated over the decades.

CMU posted an HD version of his Last Lecture - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayPMfopCe1g

First sign in May, followed by several doctor visits which treat the symptoms.

In late July, he heads to the ER. Multiple tests later, he and his wife get the diagnosis.

He dies less than three months later.

Some believe Gary Kildall picked CRLF for CP/M since he used DEC TOPS-10 to develop CP/M. see https://www.quora.com/Why-did-CP-M-stick-with-the-CR-LF-stan...

Like Caesar's supposed "Veni Vidi Vici" saying, people seem to prefer and remember items when grouped in three.

I recall a public speaking film shown to my management science class starring John Cleese mentioning this rule of 3.

Similar to Electron, but using an MS Edge browser window control as the webview control instead of Google Chrome.

It's lighter weight than Electron, if you consider that Webview2 ships with Windows and is shared with other Webview2 consumers as opposed to Electron apps which each ship with their own self-contained web browser.

This was exposed through the UI by letting the user adjust the date & time for the RA instance (e.g. move this week's thursday 4pm meeting to 2pm) via drag-drop or editing the RM instance and change the time in the appt dialog.

So I assume with Outlook you could schedule a recurring appt for the common case - weekly appt on wednesday at 1PM. Adjust as your needs require - no meeting needed? Delete this week's instance. Need to move the meeting earlier or later? Go and reschedule this week's instance.

Obviously wouldn't work if you needed two meetings in a week.

Outlook was late so Schedule+ was included in Office 95 for the Win95 release and so Schedule+ got a wider retail consumer release than if it had been just included with the Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 release.

from https://www.reddit.com/r/software/comments/v73bk7/microsoft_...

  I've been using Schedule+ 95 to keep track of my daily activities since forever. I even modified my Windows install to keep it fully compatible after WinHlp32 was nixed in Windows 10. However, it is increasingly showing its age, and there are certain aspects where I would prefer a more modern solution; I can't integrate Sched+ with my smart phone easily ...

  I'm explicitly NOT looking for any cloud or web apps. I don't have reliable internet nor are all of my daily use machines fast enough to reliably, and responsively, display 90% of the bloated webapps out there. I want something lean, fast, and native for the desktop. Schedule+ uses a max of about 7MB of RAM and I don't want to go over 10-20.

  The CBC, which began televising NHL games in 1952, had operated under that agreement since Rogers Sportsnet acquired the league’s Canadian rights in 2013 for $5.2 billion.
