The invention of Intellisense, Matthew's most impressive programming patent, began while visiting his sister Laura, President of Integrated Statistics. "Matt needed a programming project in Visual Basic (VB). My client needed a program to measure the speed and location of marine mammals, like dolphins. Once he started, Matt realized VB needed statement completion.
Friend and co-inventor David Sobeski, former Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of The Walt Disney Company, continues the story, "We were working on VB. Matt was working on the compiler when he tells me he has the symbol table and a lot of data which we can use to predict what people should type next. In a weekend, he and Martin Cibulka created a prototype. Then we created what nerds call statement completion but marketing named Intellisense. We showed Bill Gates. He was floored. Matt fundamentally changed how developers wrote code."
MS Word and FrameMaker were never considered competitors in the same market.
Aldus Pagemaker was a closer competitor to Framemaker, but Pagemaker's bread and butter was at the lower end of the market.
see this review for MS Word for Windows 1.0. The competitors listed for their benchmarks include Ami Pro, and the DOS versions of WordPerfect and MS Word.
Then they took their eyes off the ball - whether it was protecting the Windows fort (why create an app that has all the functionality of an OS that you give away for free - mostly on Windows, some Mac versions, but no Linux support) when people are paying for Windows OR they just diverted the IE devs to some other "hot" product, browser progress stagnated, even with XMLHttpRequest.
The Dev Tools division had Quick- prefix for some tools before settling on Visual- once VB took off.
Then there's DirectX and its subs - though Direct3D had more room for expanded feature set compared to DXSound or DXInput so now they're up to D3D v12.
There are two main caveats to the TARGET-D study. First, this was presented at the American Heart Association scientific sessions, but the full manuscript isn’t out yet. It’s possible the results will end up not being statistically significant, having a methodological flaw, and so on. In the presented results, the reduction in heart attack risk was statistically significant but the change in overall death and stroke risk had a p value > 0.05. Second, while Vitamin D seems to be an effective intervention to reduce heart attack risk, we don’t yet know whether Vitamin D is an independent marker of heart disease risk or whether it’s reflecting known mechanisms such as inflammation and calcification.
This was here in this article most likely not the case, I assume, but still it is bad to talk about the data without having published the article already.
Most people can’t chew flaxseeds effectively, so they grind them first or swallow them whole. (They are tiny.) Nutrition experts do recommend grinding them first to release the fiber and the beneficial fatty acids. Flaxseeds are helpful for constipation and may lower cholesterol as well.
Ground flaxseed goes rancid easily, however, so it should be kept in the freezer until you are ready to use it. If you buy it ground, you wouldn’t have to use the blender or coffee grinder to break those seeds up before you have breakfast.
After the battery problems that the Pixel 4a, 6a, and 7a have had, I'll stick to the regular Pixel phones (well - who knows far this sideloading clampdown will go).
I know people have had battery problems with non-a Pixel phones, but the number of 'a' phones with battery problems caused Google to publicly respond.
