And even those 20 min of injury time are probably waaayyy less than the time the game was actually on hold for due to injuries or other shenanigans. Unfortunately TV time slots are so strict, that getting actual 90+30 min of game time canno

We dont use cash very often, but we have our own separate payment networks called Maestro and V-Pay. So tourists nearly always have to resort to cash transactions.

I'm just going by the comments of others but: "Yes, this file is fine to be deleted while i'm using it" is fine if all processes play nice, which apparently Windows Defender _does not_. Edit: likely Windows Defender coul

I built a behavioural experimentation engine back in 2013ish using then new HTML5 + certain new JavaScript APIs with surprisingly robust, accurate and precise timing back when Flash presence was still relatively strong. We proved that certa

Thanks! We also found this one - but it is quite checklist-like and doesn't explain deeply what the individual settings mean (e.g. for user experience)

How will the tech-priests running the future companies know to keep the domain names related to the company's name 5 changes back? The cost paid to the domain registation service is only a small part of this equation. Eternity might be

Null MX should really be top of the list - this was what was least known for us as well. It is not necessarily mentioned in the article, but what became apparent while reading it (for us) is really what a long-term commitment a single domai

OP here. Company I work for recently changed names (and thus domains). This article was a godsend in realizing how important the old domain name still is. Thought I'd share!

This website is pretty much unusable for me on Firefox (Ubuntu 22.04). I'm also running a GPU-wise, fairly heavy game in the background currently, which I'm sure is attempting to draw frames even though it has been minimized. Like

You still cannot simply rsync (+ some processing?) the files contained on the device though, because PDFs and their annotations (your scribblings) are stored as separate files and their rendering software is proprietary

Any form of advertising will eventually corrupt the platforms that rely on it to exist. I guess any platform which supports advertising will eventually turn into an advertising platform. Brave essentially is an advertising platform through

Take it one step further. A test _never_ has a binary outcome, this is _always_ the result of some score thresholded against something else (could be another score). Sensitivity and specificity are a function of your data to validate the te

Keurig in Dutch means something like proper, neat or well-behaved. This company always seems anything but that.

Oh, I thought akamai was actually a facebook spin-off or in some way related, considering it made perfect sense to roll their own CDN, but also to offer this to other parties.

by Phemist 5y ago
Interesting! Facebook mostly runs behind Akamai right? Maybe there is a method of setting up a VPN that proxies your traffic through Akamai servers, e.g. through their serverless computing offering, that would similarly work.

The flip side was and I guess still is the exact reason for existence of fast.com. ISPs were throttling Netflix, so Netflix rolled out its own speed-testing service on its own infrastructure to publicly shame ISPs about the throttling. With

Just thought this would be interesting to share. The base64 encoding in JWT's forces the QR-code to use segments in byte-mode. This will encode individual JWT characters in 8 bits of data. The size of the characterset of a base64-encod

The paper mentions a reference implementation of the GEA/1 / GEA/2 was used to generate the keystream data, but does not mention how to get a hold of this. Does anyone here know? Or am I correct in assuming the implementatiom
