GOG is excellent for this reason and my experience playing older/unsupported games from them is top-notch. It stings to buy an older game again, but they're almost always inexpensive, and you can say, "Well, this is the…
I get where you're coming from, but go to Stadia's page. Click "Buy Now". You land at $130 plus $10/month with no other options. This isn't a future product or preorder, this is launch. The hardware and service are live…
Right now, $130 is the only edition. I think the one you're talking about comes out next year.
New York Genome Center | Software Engineer | New York, NY | Full-time | ONSITE NYGC is not a software company; it is a sequencing lab trying to push science at scale, and needs software to do so. We are hungry to become…
We do not, we're a combination of grant-driven research, production/clinical genome sequencing, and scale computing; the work is hard to structure for ad-hoc volunteer contribution.
Doing software work in support of scientists trying to cure cancer. Scientists aren't curing cancer with a notebook and pen, they have have problems that a software engineer can really help with. Boring internal…
Agreed. I love Thunderbird, and gave it a shot last year as my work email client (exchange). Loved almost everything, but ultimately the search and lack of threading sent me back to outlook web access.
A Short History of Nearly Everything, by Bill Bryson -- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21.A_Short_History_of_Ne... First half of the book changed my life, and second half is merely good. I wrote a full review [0],…

GOG is a good curator/vendor for old games. A fan put together a list of scummvm-compatible games here: https://www.gog.com/mix/games_compatible_with_scummvm
I love it but use it only to view and process notes/deadlines/status from my mothership org files (maintained on non-mobile computers). I don't think I'd use it as a primary note application.
> I get what you mean, but would argue that, "it only takes 2-3 trolls plus 300 people who respond to them to create a 300-comment shitshow". An ignored troll is a powerless troll. They get their power to disrupt from…
Scheduling a meeting for 5am does not overlap with most people, while scheduling a meeting at 3pm does. You understood that when you scheduled it for a time that you were available and your coworkers weren't. They're…
I have a ton of respect for people who choose not to have children, for whatever reason. Good on them. I think the societal drive to marry and have children is bullshit, especially for women. You can be a fully-realized…
Yes, No, Yes. However, it's possible to be a parent, read and understand his position, and not get into personal attacks. I respect Stallman a mountain, including his choice not to have kids, but the essay is muddied.…
Thanks for asking, I've updated the listing. You can use the NYGC careers page; also happy to respond to direct question via the email listed on my personal home page.

Mercury/amalgram fillings isn't the best example, but biocompatibility is still the primary constraint. Mayo clinic has a good overview and timeline regarding the discovery process for cobalt-chromium, which was…
It's been quite a long time since I studied this, but the primary problem with materials in implants is the quality of being bioinert. Many titanium alloys are not bioinert. Any combination would have to be tested…
Requests - https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests. How to make a usable api. The decisions that went into each method call were fantastic. Great test coverage as well. I use package in most python development.
Why embed the message in an image, instead of text?
> I don't really get why giving only 25%? Valve took their ~30% platform charge, and left the remaining amount to be split per the discretion of the publisher of the game, in this case Bethesda. Bethesda chose to give…
It's a slideshow, probably intended to accompany a presentation. I used my right and left arrow keys to navigate.
while I can see not wanting to provide a full movie metadata API, having "is this or is this not available on Netflix right now" seems like a really important API to have, one that allows websites people use to browse…
I haven't worked at companies who think along these lines, but friends of mine in the private sector have received bonuses similar to those they'd get for excellent annual performance: a stock grant or cash bonus…
