Just to power users? I keep getting suggestions to finish viewing last 1-2 minutes of each episode - the end credits that I previously skipped using big "start next episode" button…

They are called adrenaline junkies for a reason. That makes me wonder - can we put thrill-seeker in "rehab"? And should we?

Some monitors just have bad backlight. I had old one where maximizing terminal(which is mostly black) window caused taskbar and window handle also to turn almost black.

Last time I tried hackerrank i wasn't impressed - the problem specification was lacking, input/output wasn't defined well enough. Quality varied wildly between problems.

> Imgur had DEFINITELY gotten WAY worse than even a year or so ago There is vicious cycle with all image hosting services and Imgur(and Photobucket) has reached the last step: 1. N…

It worked out for Facebook and PHP so maybe that is why they want to give it a try.

Storing hashes in source repo would make it very hard to manage and I am not sure if processing raw names into hashes as part of build would be any help against such DMCA request.

Makes me wonder when Firefox will be able to resume interrupted file downloads without addons.

Even more interesting will be the effect on sites that can't get "good" ads due to adult content or sketchy legality like file sharing sites.

What is GraphQL? GraphQL is all about data communication Somehow it reminds me of good old "The S stands for Simple": http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/xml/soap/simple

Buying ASICs is high risk and (probably) high reward - in event of crash you are left with worthless machines. GPUs will still have some value, even after all crypto currencies dro…

Now it is wrapped in "SmartCloud" instead. I am not sure if that is an improvement.

As a counter counter anecdote, scientists where estimating that perfecting automatic text translation will take another 10-15 years... in ~1960. I guess hoping that future technolo…

Yeas, what about it? Oh right, it might stop working after Firefox 57: https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/issues/1224 . There are people working on it but that isn't true for m…

Yeah, worst example ever. They should make it harder to make inner anonymous classes, not easier. When such code is used inside JEE/CDI/Spring Beans it leads to some annoying leaks…

There is an even better way to test your tests - the mutation testing, for example http://pitest.org/ . It also helps to find dead code, that doesn't have any impact on result any …

Similar stuff is used for good for ages, for example in Valgrind or in `fakeroot` used to build packages in Debian.

PHP array is equivalent to LinkedHashMap and yes, it has 40 bytes overhead per entry in Java.

Java has also alternative approach: final a; if (predicate) { a = 3; } else { a = 5; } `final` makes it possible for variable to be assigned exactly once. Verbose but useful when "…
