Wireless doesn't really have the bandwidth for anything more dense than a suburb (and even that's probably really pushing it). Approaches like microwave are also less reliable due to LoS/weather problems. 2.4Ghz is noisy in

In principle an AV extension could read the scripts on a page and either analyze them there (or background web worker or something) or (if the APIs allow) pass them off to the native AV process for examination; it could theoretically be use

I understood the comment to be referring to other fancier smartwatches that are designed around ~daily charging.

They are both pointers, but `b` is an owned pointer (it "owns" a heap allocated value) and `r` is a borrowed/reference pointer (a "pure" reference to something (heap or stack) that it doesn't own and isn't

It sounds like he does understand how the API works, doesn't like the way it works, and has decided that for the scope and goals of his project, doing things the fast and low quality way meets the needs of his users.

> force Fedex/UPS to ship at one speed only? Certainly not. But we should prevent them from charging 10x the rate for Netflix discs and giving free shipping to Blockbuster.

If we could actually get back to that model, having last-mile networking be a regulated title 2 neutral telecommunications entity (even municipal fiber, just maybe) and "ISP" be whatever service we connected to reach the wider int

And all of them are vast improvements over both the official app and the new "mobile" site. The day reddit starts shutting out 3rd party apps is the day I stop using reddit.

KDE has generally had similar layout and approach to Windows, agreed, but I'd argue that pretty much ended with Windows 8 and up. KDE 5 has more in common with 7 than it does with anything Metro.

Can't risk holding unencrypted frames in memory for a whole ten seconds mate, the paying customer might want to look at them!

You can actually download things for offline playback, they added the feature recently and the app won't stop reminding me. I'm not sure where it gets stored, and it certainly isn't just an mp4 that can be used with my prefer

These days it's probably possible to use a buffer in the asmjs/WASM side and generate the image data there, only exporting back to the JS side after the job is complete. That should significantly cut down on the overhead.

As far as I know, Sketchup is still available and is pretty good for this kind of work.

Should I also fight for the road and sewage pipe market places while I'm at it? There are some pieces of infrastructure that only make sense as natural monopolies. I recently moved to Texas and was surprised and rather impressed at th

Quality-of-Service controls for different classes of traffic are already an important part of how the internet works, but is entirely separate from Net Neutrality. An operator like Verizon, for example, that runs phone service (including em

Vimium is nice, but if you've used VimFX/Pentadactyl or other XUL based VIM addons, the WebExtension versions are lacking in important ways. The biggest problem I have with them right now is that FF entirely prevents addons from w

Same. I still miss Classic Theme Restorer, but the main reason I used it was to bring back the old FF menu button, as I refused to use the weird "bag of squares" menu that seemed to come out of nowhere. Still feels like it's

> quantum leap from before So, the smallest possible leap? :P I like to think that it's loosely related to the multithreaded work-stealing features, breaking as much as possible up into "quanta" of work to be grabbed by t

It is a little fiddly to set up at first, certainly. There are a few tools to make it easier though: if you're dealing with a site that uses a lot of semi-random subdomains (like googlevideo or cloudflare), it's possible to just w

I used to be ambivalent-to-negative about wireless charging pads, until I figured out that I could get a little desktop stand to set my phone in while I'm doing things on my PC. I can just plop the phone down without having to fiddle a

With both the kernel and userland being replaced what, exactly, do you consider the Android OS to consist of? I assume you're referring to the Java based frameworks and Dalvik/ART runtime pieces, but I would usually consider those
