September Queso

1. Dynamic-link library is what DLL stands for in a .dll file.
2. I think perf means to perfect performance.
3. Lotus Notes and Lotus Ami Pro where IBM's versions of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Word respectively.
4. If you have an iPhone and your friend has an iPhone and you have been doing the iMessage thing with each other and your friend then decides to buy a Samsung phone while keeping the same phone number a strange thing happens. You will be able to text her, but when she texts you back you will not receive the communications. On her end it will look like the text just went through alright however. The way to fix this problem is for you to delete your entire texting thread with her and then start up a new thread.
5. Cosplay is the whole art of dressing up as your favorite TV, movie, cartoon, or comic book character and faulting your awesome costuming skills while wandering around a tradeshow convention floor somewhere booth to booth nonchalantly as if you were there to look at things instead of being looked at yourself.
6. An Alexa ranking is for SEO legitimacy and state of play, etc. I think the lower the number the better.
7. Fuel Buddy is an app for managing business expenses around gassing up.
8. I have heard that pornographic films are now exclusively named with SEO in mind with all of the words that make up a name such as "stepdaughter" being things that might be searched for.
9. Teespring (teespring.com) supposedly lets you design your own T-Shirts.
10. tv4-reporter is an npm package for unit testing JSON schemas.
11. A mainframe is a huge clunky old computer running business critical software.
12. copypasta is an ugly term for copied code, prose, etc.
13. DocuSign provides electronic signature stuff.
14. Cat 5 cable (or Category 5 cable) is what we used for an internet connection back before wireless was everywhere. A Cat 5 cable would run from your laptop to your router and then a coaxial cable would run to the cable TV port on the wall of your apartment from the router. The coaxial cable half of the wire up still exists.
15. DVR stands for digital video recorder and TiVo is a famous brand of DVR. With a DVR you may digitally record TV shows. It is the modern/digital counterpart to making a bunch of VHS (video home system) tapes with a VCR (videocassette recorder) in an analog manner.
16. COBOL stands for common business-oriented language and is an old scripting language. It seemed like this would never go away, but I've finally stopped hearing about it and JFK's assassination.
17. Zipcar is some sort of car sharing service.
18. I remember reading some thing once that suggested that the sooner a bug is caught the less expensive it is in terms of both money and time to turn around. It is better if you catch your own bug in your unit testing as a developer than it is if the testing teaming finds it and obviously it's better for the testing team to find it than for it to be found in production. The thing I cannot really remember had more than just these three rungs in its ladder, but you get the idea, etc.
19. Zello allows you to use your cell phone like a walkie-talkie.
20. I don't really understand RAM Doubler and Virtual Memory and how they sorta extend memory.
21. Adobe is in retreat? These guys sure seemed on top of the tech world ten years ago. Flash was the way to do video, then Steve Jobs decided it would not be allowed onto the iPhone. (You know if you were to compare the history of JavaScript to say, the Bible, then the most important moment in time, birth of Christ, seam between the new testament and the old would be this moment in time.) JavaScript's star rose and Adobe's fell. Flat UIs and Twitter Bootstrap and glyphicons allow frontend talent to just sidestep Photoshop! Ten years ago it was common to see apps that made PDFs in reporting, but I don't really see that anymore.
22. There will be wireless chargers with the iPhone X. You set the phone on a little device and it charges up.
23. Bandsintown is an app that tells you about bands in town.
24. Mavenlink and projectmanager.com are tools for, yes, managing projects.
25. Nintex has to do with forms for SharePoint. Keystyle has forms and other helpers for Viewpoint. Viewpoint Field View is a similar Viewpoint thing.
26. I learned today that the iPad 1 is no longer upgradable and you cannot download new apps for it. You are just stuck with what you had to begin with. What is more my iPhone4S which I've had since the end of 2011 is similarly about to become unsupported. The cut off has something to do with new devices being 64 bit.
27. I once heard "petri dish" used as slang term for a dangerous environment to potentially get a computer virus. That was with regards to BBSs (Bulletin Board Systems). I'm sure this is really a thing though, the slang term.
28. You can't upload photos to Instagram from your PC. You have you use the mobile app. There may be a hack to get around this, but this is how things are intended to be.
29. There is a distinction between Nintex Forms and Nintex Workflows and changing a form can sabotage workflows that are midstream through a process. (for example: an approval process) Nintex has support for offline forms whereas Keystyle's approach to forms does not. Lookup lists cannot be used with more than two thousand items in the mobile space at Nintex Forms as beyond this threshold things start to crash. Nevron (pronounced: "never on") has tools for business intelligence.
30. A Visual Studio 2015 Database Project will have a .sqlproj file instead of a .csproj file.
31. BSOD as an acronym means "Blue Screen Of Death" and may be used like a verb. Example: "My machine just BSODed."
32. An .art file seems to be graphics with AOL's own compression. You use their tools to look at these.
33. Wikipedia says: "Alexa is an intelligent personal assistant developed by Amazon"
34. Nintex Forms' mobile app does not allow you to edit a list item in "Forms" but you may assign someone one of the "Tasks" to edit an existing item. "Forms" is only for adding new items. "Tasks" cannot be part of workflows.
35. I read a tweet that suggested that React, Jest, Flow, and Immutable.js will be relicensed under the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) license which is very permissive for free use of software. So what are Jest and Flow? Flow is some sort of type checker, pointing out errors in your code. Jest is a testing platform.
36. HelloTalk is an app like Rosetta Stone that helps you learn a new language, but this one does what it does with Facebookesque social media organization. There are groups for different languages and one's skill level within a language, etc. You fall into chats with other people.
37. CCleaner gets rid of local history and does some other clean up stuff. Someone hacked this tool and put a virus in it which is a barrel of laughs.
38. https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular2-csv (i.e. "angular2-csv") is a package for rendering out .csv files from an Angular 4 app.
39. The cgi-bin folder was where your Perl scripts went in your web site back in the mid-1990s. CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface herein.
40. Espresso is used for writing Android UI tests.
41. SSAS (SQL Server Analysis Services) is a tool for OLAP databases and data mining! If SSRS and SSIS are Snow White and Cinderella then this is the Sleeping Beauty other/third princess in that set.
42. SSRS Report Builder is a tool for making SSRS reports that is a bit lighter in footprint than BIDS.
43. Rakuten Viber is some sort of messaging app. You can make "phone" calls with it too, like Skype.
44. Wikipedia says: "Quantum computing studies computation systems (quantum computers) that make direct use of quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. Quantum computers are different from binary digital electronic computers based on transistors."
45. Hapi is a JS framework for building apps.
46. It's possible to take a bit of a song and make your own ringtone with it on the Android platform.
47. Sling Media Slingbox is something like the fire stick Amazon offers.
48. "Pirates of Silicon Valley" was a pretty good made for TV movie. I shows Apple stealing the idea for a GUI interface from Xerox and then Microsoft stealing it from them.
49. Twitter is testing letting users tweet with 280 characters. There is a hack using the Tampermonkey browser that should allow you to do it if you don't have it by default.
50. OSS is... open source software?
51. A nibble is a half-byte or a tetrade. It's four bits.
52. A mixin in LESS kinda lets you take in a variable in a method/function signature (so to speak) and then assign the variable to styles. Sass has mixins too.
