Would be amusing to program the RFID in someone's dog to open the front door though, necessitating picking up a German Shepard to hold it up to a reader. Better still make the dog a spare key and nobody would ever notice.

It's another web trend I don't understand. All news websites seem to do it, it's super obnoxious, and I don't know anybody who doesn't just rush to click stop as soon as they click the page.

Hashcash is broken for any situation like this. The amount of hashcash time needed to thwart spam is higher than any user is willing to wait for, doing proof of work on a phone. Plus, spammers normally have their own Cloud Computing to reso

I did this for a while, and then realized my use of SSL Everywhere combined with a HTTP only compression proxy was self defeating. The only way to get decent coverage is to have the proxy also bust SSL and then repackage it, which is comple

You can spent hours making a very large effigy of your rival depicted as a phallus with gold trim and rubies: being a work of art doesn't make it any less unprofessional.

Hacker News loads in milliseconds, why does this take over 10 seconds to even start showing comments? It's not so much a showcase as a reason to ever never use this in any product, it's obviously unsuitable for displaying even the

Ah! Yes I jumped to an assumption there. That's a much better solution.

Signing is slow, if anything signing the CSRF tokens just became your bottleneck, if not you just inflated the request size by kilobytes for no good reason.

This gets seriously annoying if you have an intermittent connection. I know the first click didn't succeed, so I have the choice of refreshing and losing all my typed content or manually using the web inspector to re-enable the button.

I have to run the configuration tool in a windows VM because on 10.10 they removed the frameworks it uses to run. I wish they weren't so complacent as to turn my hardware into bricks.

The USB C connector carries two logical USB interfaces, to have more ports than that you're going to need a USB hub in there was as well, and all sorts of mess trying to get USB 3 speeds to actually function properly.

I didn't even consider that this might not be ARM. There's Cortex M0, M1, M3, M4 you'd be silly to call a product M^3 if it wasn't related. If not it would be lawsuit fodder because it certainly sounds too related to be

I was very amused to realise that it was actually cheaper for me to buy a RFID ticket, run it into the debt limit of $1 and then dispose of it at the end of the trip. Talking to the station staff about it they acknowledged that they didn&#x

No, nothing I use supports synchronizing scroll buffers beyond ZNC's behavior of dumping the scroll buffer to whichever client is connected (Colloquy on iOS, Textual on OSX). I've not found the dumping behavior to be that terrible

Is it really possible from an evil standpoint to get SMS rerouted to another number? I was looking into that a while ago (I wanted a prettier number, but didn't want to lose things associated with the old one) and the answer I got was

I'm not so sure about that, 60fps means that every single rotation of a second hand has 3600 individual steps; does a mechanical watch with a sweep second hand have that much precision? I'm inclined to think not, even from the per
