Google's Project Zero.

To be fair, you need _significantly_ less[0] uranium compared with the amount of coal you mine. For every million mountains destroyed by coal mining, you'd only have to destroy a c…

Why on Earth could they possibly feel it necessary to do this? The United States Patent Office doesn't have a complex system of sub-domains or even an EV license, if money were the…

It is Friday? Roughly 4PM on Friday, which means they'll likely be closing down shortly. Seems odd for them to do it as such a last minute thing.

You can source Li-ion/Li-Poly fairly easily (as a company, almost impossible as an individual) with 250 Wh/kg, I believe I read somewhere that Tesla hit about 260/270 with their la…

It's the first point they mention on the landing page: - 300 km range - Travel from London to Paris in one hour.

Imperial (A UK University) are currently making large leaps forward in terms of modelling a room or environment with just a single camera and little computing power. Their basic me…

I'm sorry, what's CEF? I haven't come across that acronym before.

> Is this benchmark open source? I'd be really interested to try it compared to something similar build in Qt or Gtk+. Afraid it's not, currently the only working copy is closed-so…

I swear Electron is incredibly fast in every instance I've used it. Unless you're doing heavy computation with complex algorithms, it's really nice. I don't believe VS Code has to …

Considering how we're doing now? Yeah, I'm pretty cool with how they handled things.

Would you perhaps consider working together instead of on two separate projects? Half the workload for both of us to get the same final product!

This site is actually really awesome, and has worked for every website I've tried! My only slight issue with it however is it took me a few minutes to actually work out what "HTML …

Pretty sure most applications don't need to support RFC 2177 to still be efficient. Long-polling for most IMAP servers requires one packet every nine minutes (to the best of my kno…

Honoured to have your first post Benjie. It is open-source and made in Electron, but I'm not sure it's upto much at the moment. I've mostly been working on getting IMAP and SMTP se…

Must admit I am somewhat jaded with current mail applications and actually creating my own. Sylpheed is wonderful and the one I currently use, it's fast and works. My problem is wi…

I'd honestly disagree. Start small, don't expect to build something that works for 100k users and you'll be fine! Take the bare bones of this project: - Canvas. - Websockets. That'…

Excellent work actually completing the challenge set! If you were to do it again, would you still use the same technology used here? Kafka especially seemed to cause you a few issu…

Haven't there been several of these posted to Hacker News already? All of which look almost identical. EDIT: Ah, apparently they're all links to this page.

There's also no ability to uninstall Edge, the current way of doing it appears to be to delete all of the binaries in a specific folder.

My moderating day generally goes as follows: - Look at the mod queue, replying to any mod mail we've received and any posts that have been automatically removed by our AutoModerato…

Calm down, personal insults aren't necessary. I have to admit I've had the same experience, don't know my phone number and don't carry it with me for the majority of the time and I…

The article ends by saying "By the theorem, Koomey's law has the potential to be valid for about 125 years". One imagines that it could continue long after even this however with f…

Even if you don't use the language specifically, the ideas it provides on creating queries applies to pretty much every database I've used, with the one exception being Redis. It a…

This. People forget that they're _actively_ appearing to break it by using this UA detection. No company should _ever_ use user-agents for feature detection, because user agents th…
