You can't do without either of them, but one can hide flaws in the other I was listening to a podcast the other day and something caught my hear: the difference between a VP and a …

How’s it any relevant?

> in film, you start with the best and make your way down to the worst only if you take imdb top films ranking... take a tour through Kurosawa or other Japanese masters, get deep i…

But then again, from that report, most are fossil fuel producing companies. So one would imagine that less fossil fuel demand would reduce the impact of those companies and have an…

Quick answer: no. Unless there's a unified effort between major browsers to bring support for a new language we'll have to use js. And that seems highly unlikely (see dart for inst…

You can't fight negativity with negativity. Let the good and positive boil to the top. Anyway, that would certainly not save twitter. They seem to be lacking better management and …

I found the same about YT history. None of the videos that I view on the laptop are shown in the history, only videos viewed on mobile. I think it's because I block ip addresses, t…

And I'd add to that: in the USA (with a bit of extrapolation).

Sharp had a similar phone. Samsung had the Edge, which is near bezel-less from the sides. And those are not concept phones, at least the edge is not. Sarcastically, the success of …

The competition may not come directly from technology companies, but from car companies. Tesla might be one of them.

Downgrading is always hard. Even minor differences in speed/fluidity will seem much more accentuated.

If they're not using regex, they can't be affected by it anyways

I've been using it lately for my thesis. Good job!

Two things very wrong with the landing page: the horrendous parallax effect and the "Go" instead of Gb.

Besides whamlastxmas point, the danger that I see is also tied to copyright infringement. Imgur and other small sites, mostly because they don't have much profit, don't suffer a lo…

> $X for every commit Even if you're supposedly giving money to reputable developers that are the percentile less likely to commit fraud, there's still a risk of it happening. A mo…

Hydroelectric generation is not the major source of energy. Wind is, and I think it was that unusual amount of rain, coupled with stronger winds and the occasional good days of sun…

That kind of control is in the hands of the webapp. For instance if I close this tab , where I'm typing the comment, there will be no prompt. Whereas facebook will prompt me if tru…

I might be the minority here, but I think that using the backspace to go back is counter intuitive. In my mind backspace is to delete something, and I always worry about that.

I'd say more like a 50% user base. I'm going on a limb here, but nowadays, 60% of macbooks (mainly the pro) are used for software development and 30% for creative work (video and e…

This is the way to hold on to more technical users. I've tried ddg, but switched back to Google because the results were not good enough for my technical needs. If they are able to…

Finally, I really hated the additional complexity and gotchas that boot2docker carried.

uBlock Origin (and uMatrix) are the only ad blockers that I trust and that I advise. The developer has strong ethics and, needless to say, they are open source. ABP made a name for…
