Let’s say you use a “plus” formatted email, I.e foo+github@gmail.com Then when you receive spam/unsolicited marketing emails, you can see to which email the spam was sent, and ther…

I understand that curtailment is needed to incentivise private businesses to invest in wind when the output and demand can’t be correlated, but if the government owned the wind far…

He didn’t achieve 2MH/s on his MacBook. That was the authors estimate of what you could achieve on a multi-GPU setup, it was only around ~1KH/s on the MacBook.

They do have stuff inside them though, so I'm not suggesting they make it heavier but having the required electronics does take up space that can be otherwise utilised.

iGeneration is a long established term for Gen Z. This author among many others claims to have coined the moniker but has done so since at least 2006. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/G…

I don't know if it's just me but hamburger menus that appear/disappear on hover seems very frustrating to use for me, it's especially obvious on this where the font size is so smal…

70?

What do you like about it? For general use it seems as if it'll be something that makes no difference to my day-to-day usage of my computer other than a warm fuzzy feeling that the…

Highly recommend the book 'Wisdom of Insecurity' by Alan Watts. This article touches on the search for an immutable self but it doesn't quite make the leap that there isn't one and…

To keep your account secure, turn on Javascript?? If anything is making your web browsing less secure, it's JS. I don't particularly care that Google isn't letting you sign in with…

That's pathetic... it's such a shame Twitter intentionally crippled their API because the platform is so well suited for 3rd party apps

How can it hit the rate limit error so quickly? From the output in my terminal it is really slow...

In what way is the article not scummy as hell? You shouldn't waste Jenkins server time with this...

Anyone had any luck with Firefox on any system?

Haha, it was just the attitude I'm seeing suggests that we're somehow at the behest of Mozilla engineers and we just have to wait, but that's one of the great benefits of open sour…

Since Firefox is open source, instead of just waiting for Mozilla engineers to get around to it, couldn't someone just open a pull request?

From what I can tell they used verbal & numerical reasoning tests, which does to some degree fit a definition of intelligence. It doesn't measure anything well rounded about a pers…

In what way would it noticeably differ from the LLVM IR then?

If you have a Mac, Textual is a great IRC client although their upgrade policy is a bit frustrating, in that upgrades don't seem to be free for life, only discounted.

I wouldn't recommend Icarus Verilog, it's not a very good simulator. You're much better off downloading either the free Altera/IntelFPGA copy of Modelsim or using the free version …

This is a false equivalence. I think it's much more like, Person A is a nazi and killed someone after being indoctrinated by violent nazi rhetoric, therefore we should stop allowin…

In the same way that some days I am happy and other days I'm sad, doesn't mean that my mood is choice.

Good to know you can steal money from these employees with a handshake.

If you use Vim, you can `set list` and set the `listchars` to something useful for you.

I think it's important to think about power dynamics, if you're in a position where you have authority/power/control in any way over that person it's not appropriate for you to be …
