    Any details on what changed in the -002 models?

    I’d really like libraries to put the language they’re for in the description. Especially anything AI-related seems to just assume everybody uses Python.

    Note that this really isn’t anything except the agreement to send messages separated by 2 new lines. The SSE object in browsers is old and quirky; for example, it only supports GET…

    What I would love is something that can give alternative tube sizes. My bike uses 22x3 tubes, which are unusual and hard to come by. However, there have been reports of 20x4 bike t…

    I doubt domain length will really make any difference, gzip compression should take care of a longer domain name.

    All these faster speeds won't do anything really for heavily populated areas. The most important thing is total available bandwidth (bytes/sec/hz), and it's unclear how better that…

    Off shore wind power is about 25% of the wind power capacity of Denmark, the rest are 'normal' wind turbines. However, they'll contribute more to the total energy output. Off-shore…

    Biggest thing I'm missing in the FF Aurora builds is a console in the Inspector / Debugger panes. Having to switch to the console pane all the time gets annoying quickly.

    This still doesn't explain why the MRI implementation is accidentally threadsafe. Why doesn't the interpreter switch threads after reading the value from the hash but before storin…

    Not really -- the directory server can just direct a user to connect to a MITM server. There's no need to control the entire network, you only need access to Skype's servers.

    This is pretty cool. Anyone know what the retrieval pricing is? With Glacier you can limit the amount you pay by retrieving really slowly, but I'm not sure that works with the S3 f…

    Note that you don't need to 'enable' the Meta key in Terminal on OS X. By default, option does what it does in other programs, allowing you to type alternative characters. If you'd…

    The checkmark he's talking about is only used to bypass the password verification on your mac -- there's no password or passphrase sent to Apple at any point. What happens when a u…
