That’s why I was delighted to discover XP.css — a design system that makes it easy to create XP-inspired user interfaces. XP.css was inspired by 98.css, another CSS library which helps you design UIs in the likeness of Windows 98. The library comes with several pre-styled elements, including buttons, windows, checkboxes, sliders, tabs, and dropdown menus. It’s also got a command prompt template, which I’m a huge fan of:...

You might consider these questions very dumb. But interestingly, today’s most advanced artificial intelligence systems would struggle to answer them. Questions such as the ones asked above require the ability to reason about objects and their behaviors and relations over time. This is an integral component of human intelligence, but one that has remained elusive to AI scientists for decades. A new study presented at ICLR 2020 by researchers at IBM, MIT, Harvard, and DeepMind highlight the shortcomings of current AI systems in dealing with causality in videos....

The consensus is overwhelming. Check out virtually any list of 2021’s best jobs and you’ll see an entry for data science prominently included. LinkedIn put it at no. 14 on its list of 2021’s Jobs on the Rise. U.S. News and World Report had it at no. 8. And Glassdoor ranked it all the way up at no. 2. The knowledge needed to properly organize, interpret, and reach conclusions based solely on business data is highly specialized, but if you can get a grasp on the steps and tools for top quality business intelligence, you will be compensated handsomely....

At TNW Deals, we see it all. But every once in a while, a new product comes through the door and makes us stop and think, “Boy, why didn’t somebody come up with this idea years ago?” Many offices come equipped with dual monitor workstations to boost productivity. But in an era where more and more employees are working at home or from the road, a second monitor for a laptop has never been very feasible....

When you hear the words all-inclusive, your mind probably goes to beachfront resorts where the food and drinks are stacked a mile high and your wallet takes a holiday. All-inclusive should mean no worries…because everything is part of the deal. All-inclusive is a tall order when you’re dealing with a sprawling galaxy of software like the Adobe Creative Cloud app suite. With more than 20 different creative apps and services, the Adobe CC bundle represents a truly massive array of abilities and features for handling almost any digital media task....

File under: Absolutely disgusting. Up front: 22-year old Gabby Petito, a travel influencer, recently went missing. Their case reached the public spotlight due to scrutiny over another person’s involvement and is currently an ongoing homicide investigation. As is usually the case in high-profile homicide investigations, so-called ‘psychics’ have come out of the woodwork to try and capitalize on human trauma and make a few bucks peddling their millennia-old scam. In the modern era that means they’re all over social media hawking their horrific schemes....

But will they finally pull the plug? The Zuckerberg fight One person that might enjoy the demise of TikTok is Mark Zuckerberg. The Facebook CEO has left no stone unturned to take potshots at the short video app and simultaneously building rival products. [Read: Congress fumbles through antitrust hearing with big tech CEOs] In an internal meeting, Zuckerberg discussed plans to beat TikTok which involved an experimental product called Lasso....

Last night, India banned 59 Chinese apps including TikTok, Helo, and WeChat alleging that these apps steal data and send it to servers that are not located in India. Now, TikTok’s Android and iOS apps have disappeared from both Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store. Bytedance’s other app Helo has also vanished from both stores. However, several other apps including UC Browser, WeChat, Bigo Live, and Shein were still available to download on both stores....

Trump said Cook made a very good argument about competing with Samsung if the iPhone maker had to pay tariffs: In July, he had said Apple won’t get any exemption from tariffs if it produces goods in China. Earlier this month, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the company should be able to absorb any cost increase caused by tariffs without impacting customers. The company has already taken steps to increase manufacturing in India and Vietnam....

Last year Epic Games launched its store platform, explicitly to compete with the entrenched goliath Steam. It did so in the apparent spirit of competition, and it wasn’t the only one. Rockstar debuted its own game launcher, and GOG launched the Galaxy 2.0 beta. The number of apps that conrtro Anyway, one of the problems caused by this competition is that it can be very easy to get overwhelmed by game stores....

Recently, the city council in Toronto, Canada, in partnership with a local energy supplier and EV charging provider called FLO, installed 17 Level 2 chargers, across nine of the city’s residential neighborhoods, Electric Autonomy Canada reports. The chargers have been installed specifically to help locals that don’t have off-street parking juice up their EVs overnight and are part of a year-long trial into the effectiveness of such chargers. Locals will need a special permit to use the chargers overnight, and it will cost just CAD$3 (USD$2....

But now there’s an app that helps you encourage small-time streamers by randomly connecting you to channels with no viewers. Enter Twitch Roulette — it’s like Chat Roulette of sorts, but without any of the penises. That, and it has been specifically designed to filter through streams with no viewers, and connect you to them. The web-based app is pretty simple. You get referred to a stream, and if you’re logged into your Twitch account, you can drop them a comment and say hi....

I agree. It’s not an easy experience. It’s tough. 1. Come up with a game plan Before you start writing code, you should come up with a plan on how to tackle the problem. You should spend around 5 to 20 minutes on this portion. Typically my game plan involves drawing diagrams and doing test examples. For instance, whenever I get a graph problem or a recursion problem, I like to draw a tree to identify the different states that I will be visiting and the order of states that I will be visiting....

But Twitter wants to put all that in the past, as it launched its new API last night. The company now wants to play fair with developers and even encourage them to make helpful bots. The news was first announced last month, but it was just a day after Twitter’s most devastating hack targeting high-profile account. So, you can’t expect people to pay attention to an API launch. Now, the API v2 is available for developers to try out through early access....

Currently, you can only mute the conversation. However, Twitter is working on a new feature that lets you “unmention” yourself from it. Dominic Camozzi, a privacy designer at Twitter, showed off some early concepts of how the feature might work. Check out these early concepts that could help control unwanted attention on Twitter. Feedback, especially at this beginning stage, is invited (and wanted)! ? pic.twitter.com/6SpzqiwFlL — Dominic Camozzi (@dcrc) June 14, 2021 [Read: Why entrepreneurship in emerging markets matters]...

Dutch news outlet NOS reports that four Uber drivers, three British and one Portuguese, filed the case at a district court yesterday. The drivers say automated firing is not allowed and according to European law, there must be human intervention before such an important decision is made. Uber is contesting the claims, and told the BBC that humans had intervened before the drivers’ accounts were deactivated. “As part of our regular processes, the drivers in this case were only deactivated after manual reviews by our specialist team,” the spokeswoman told the BBC....

Developed in collaboration with AI firm Vivacity Labs, the scheme aims to accommodate and promote the use of active travel modes such as cycling and walking, which have become an increased priority for UK cities in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. The project first went live earlier this year, but is now being scaled up to cover 20 junctions in Manchester by the end of 2021. Speaking after its launch, the UK’s Digital Infrastructure Minister Matt Warman said: “Smart traffic technology is just one of the many ground-breaking areas the government is funding to pioneer new ways for artificial intelligence and 5G to transform our lives for the better....

To do so, the government has published the Economic Crime Plan, agreed between the Chancellor Philip Hammond, Home Secretary Sajid Javid, and heads of law enforcement, major financial institutions and legal, accountancy and property organisations. The plan seeks to tackle the scourge of ‘dirty money’ in the UK by bringing together public and private sectors and establishing a better information sharing system. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, said: As part of the new measures, the government wants to establish a new crypto assets regime with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) – the UK’s financial watchdog – “going beyond international standards to create one of the most comprehensive global responses to the use of crypto assets in illicit activity....

On Monday, during an interview with Autocar, Transport Decarbonization Minister Rachel Maclean defended the government’s decision and hinted that the “Plug-in Grant” might be disposed of altogether. Supporting the cut She explained that the reduced EV grant is now targeting “lower-priced vehicles” because “that’s where people are less likely to be able to fund the cost out of their own pocket entirely.” Well, that’s not really unfair, given that the cut is mainly going to affect people who already have quite a bit of money to spend on a car....
