There's tons of options, no-intro, redump, tosec, mame are all doing DAT files with file checksums. That said, ROMs are basically never a malware vector as they have to exploit an …

This argument kind of falls apart when you consider Europe has virtually free education and some parts like Scandinavia pay a sizeable stipend to students of higher education. It m…

You can bypass that by customising your accept header. There's a Chrome extension that does it for you https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/reddit-load-images-...

Egg temperature plays a definitive role in the sex of turtles, but no one would claim it in the realm of possibility for that to affect humans. It's always good to be aware of how …

Side note, but the small font size + light grey text on the white background made it a bit of an eye strain for me to read your story, would definitely benefit a bit from some more…

Google news app insists on opening in a chrome-based webview without ad blocking. Large part of why I rooted to get adaway.

I feel like you're personally attacking me haha. I don't really need it for getting jobs but I definitely moved on to other topics and just never kept up with the blogging.

Most NFTs are still made on the Ethereum mainnet which has huge gas fees indeed. There are alternative protocols which make it cheaper but it's a pain (and expensive) to move over …

They have been for decades! Most scene releases that are packed will include an SFV file that contains the checksums of each of the package files so that you can check the file int…

Netherlands though, not the US. If they're anything like most of Europe then a doctors note is all you need to still be paid while sick more than 1-2 days.

To be fair, there's a world of difference between a single POP HE connection and the globally distributed AWS CDN. Understand your use-case and what factors are important because H…

Don't think so, from what I understand, the problem was the intermediate certificate expired, it would have expired regardless if there were no automatic updates.

Very big yes! No doubt Igor deserves the majority of the honour for Nginx, but volunteer contributors were a big part earlier on, both in patches, investigations and community supp…

> While we were building the model we also wanted to figure out what to do for these Pinners once we could target them. We thought it would be best to ask them, as they surely woul…

This is not abuse of employees, this is abuse of customers.

I accessed it just fine from Portugal just now. Maybe it's something else wrong?

count(*) doesn't do full table scan as it's not tied to specific data. It has special handling logic. The only case where it might have to do a full table scan is if you try to cou…

I think them accepting a 5x encoding slow-down means they are mostly concerned about decoding speed.

Just a small clarification. Oppo (phones) is not the parent of OnePlus in the sense that Oppo (phones) controls anything with OnePlus. The relationship is more that Oppo (phones) i…

Thanks for the push. I never use Twitter on my phone anyway but I had the app installed for no use at all. Just got rid of it.

You're not really. My costs: $799 dedicated on 1gbps connection (overkill) AWS Costs: $6000+ AWS is simply impossible for me.

You're misunderstanding the terms a bit. Salting is only done once because it's a random string you apply to the users password so that if two users use the same password they do n…

I'm curious what you mean by this. We use a combination of RethinkDB + Deepstream at work and it's amazing to work with with really simple querying language. I might very well be m…

Hey HN, Recently there's been a lot of discussion on active versus passive in the asset management space, famously symbolised by the recent conclusion of the Warren Buffett bet. We…
