The wireless F710 does not have accelerometers or gyros, but is otherwise a pretty nice controller if you don't already have a PS or XBox pad lying around. The default Windows drivers and associated "configuration" program ar

If it doesn't exist yet, I'm sure someone will be along shortly to re-invent Trillian or Pidgin as an Electron app.

That is a truly remarkable feature! Does it come with the ability to change the definition of "constant"?

Are the two really equally precise though? There are many languages in which the `+` operator can be applied to types that are not integers.

Or you could simply take the route that most monetized sites with RSS did, and only include the first few paragraphs of your content in the feed. Ars Technica still does this, and it strikes a good balance between letting the user see what

Pendantry: IIRC `{` and `}` work on paragraphs (or contiguous blocks of lines up to the next blank line) rather than code blocks by default. I'm sure it's possible to change that, but once you're changing things there'

You can get the "Developer" editions with Linux pre-installed, though when I looked I couldn't find a version with more than 8GB of RAM. The Windows ones have more RAM and essentially the same hardware, I got a 16GB version a

Yeah, I wish I could like them, since Lenovo/Thinkpad has been putting out some pretty appealing hardware recently, but that kind of irresponsible behavior demands a response from people who understand the severity. I refuse to buy or

Does Docker actually compete with Nix? It seems that Docker is more concerned with containment and Nix with packages. I would love to be able to use Nix to define my project+dependencies and Docker to run it. I'd be surprised if someo

It's interesting that Symantec claims to be denying governments the ability to review code for the safety of their end-users, but won't allow those same end-users the ability to review the code for themselves.

E-readers save you the time it would have taken to manage the inconvenience of handling physical books. The time spent acquiring, storing, and carrying physical books adds up a lot faster than managing digital materials.

Knowing PHPs standard library, probably something like "urlencode_safe_for_real_this_time". Kidding aside, IIRC "rawurlencode" is the RFC compliant one.

Ideally a custom codeword or name, but subjectively, names like "Alexa", "Siri" or words like "xbox" are easier to say as part of a command. "Hey Cortana" isn't as bad as "Ok Google", b

Vimium is /mostly/ there, but gaps in the WebExtensions API make the experience rough in my experience. The biggest issue for me, right now, is that there are a lot of places where FF won't allow WebExtensions to intercept ke

There's presumably enough users who actually want that behavior from FB, but not from other sites.

I've reluctantly given up on Tab Groups, but losing VimFX and FireGestures is still causing me pain. TabGroups was really unique in that it felt (to me) like the kind of interaction-redefining change that tabbed browsing was in the fir

It's interesting, since browsers have had custom keyword searches for ages, and I've known that and just never taken the time to set them up. Having DDG with its bangs I use them all the time, and if there's some specific new

Part of the EFFs frustration is that the anti-DRM side were willing to compromise, by passing the standard with the addition of agreements to, for example, not sue security researchers who might try to fuzz a CDM or figure out how it work

I understand them both to be based on Chromium at this point. Chrome already has support, so if the Brave/Opera browsers want it it's pretty much just a flip of the switch (Opera may already have it, I think). Basically if your b
