What about the web and client-side JS? From what I understand the list of JavaScript libraries is for node.js as it doesn't even include jQuery.

I don't know much about manufacturing either. But, wouldn't Sony also make sure their units "more or less work" before they leave the factory? I mean, the thing could be working on departure and dead on arrival.

I don't think "conventional programming languages" (and in particular Java) are well suited to the task of analyzing and querying data. But Excel is also an odd beast. It's used for laying out reports, pivot tables, plot

After they got rid of that limitation Microsoft started using unwieldy path names like "Program Files" and "My Documents".

Where does the imprecision come from exactly? Can't we derive the kilogram from the number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a litre of water at an uniform temperature?

I've seen sound cards with all kind of glitches such as outputting one of the channels with an inverted phase. I'd be also concerned with whatever audio filters the card may have. Sound cards are just not meant to control precisio

Apple should have kept us informed from day one. But, in their defense it may take days to ascertain what exactly happened. Once a system is compromised it's nearly impossible to trust anything about it. Auditing the logs, and reviewin

Is Oracle still involved in the development of OpenOffice? I was under the impression they contributed the code to the Apache Foundation because they didn't want to develop it further.

Streaming from Dropbox would be great. It seems your have to download a file before playing it back.

Try using VueScan. It supports a bunch of older scanners.

FairPlay video was (kind of) cracked a few years ago I was in the habit of decrypting TV episodes using Requiem so I could watch them on my Linux netbook. You had to decrypt the files on a computer with iTunes installed though. I don't

What's the point of assigning an address to every node on the Internet if you can't connect to these addresses. The advantage of IPv6 is that any computer can act as a server again. NAT makes it unnecessarily difficult to build si

Stupid question: Is it necessary to play something through a pair of noise canceling headphones if you just want to "cancel noise" with them?

What is the rest of the world doing with these old analog TV bands? Is that part of the spectrum already exploited by cell carriers?

This is more worrying than the typical HN post about having to turn off an electronic gadget on the plane. I'm not necessarily saying that United did something wrong though. Planes can have mechanical issues and there are a bunch of reasons

I agree. But if I'm sharing my WiFi connection, a "security breach" can't be defined as "someone using my IP address" as I'm also sharing that willingly through my NAT router. Or, are you going to turn off the public WiFi and pretend there

Unfortunately, there's no widely supported way of encrypting the traffic of individual users on a publicly accessible network. WiFi is designed to trust everyone on the LAN/subnet. But LANs are not secure. People roam between networks all t

When did I say a things about laws? By accountability, I mean: Does IP adress = the person who pays the ISP bill? I suppose legislation could help to clarify things in that regard but that has little to do with understanding the technology.

Do we also have Qt port for iOS?

by ajasmin 14y ago
I can't agree more. But there are real concerns with sharing. Even though people move around with their phones and laptops all the time, network protocols still want to trust the LAN. Things like rogue DHCP servers, unencrypted HTTP traffic

It's nice to have a blog post and video demonstrating the bug clearly. If I was confronted to this problem trying to save a file, I'd love to find it on Google. I don't really care whether or not they call it embarrassing or use their own p

$.ajax({url:"http://freegeoip.net/json", dataType:"json"}) .done(function(data){$('#city').text(data.city)}); freegeoip.net seems to send the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" header which allows the cross-domain ajax call. Picking

That sounds too easy. Also, if doioig.gov redirects to stackoverflow.com that just makes doioig.gov an alias for Stack Overflow. An alias shouldn't rank higher than the real thing.

It doesn't integrate that well in Ubuntu to start with. There's no app menu integration for Unity. Edit: I mean the unified menubar. Steam menubar is attached to the steam window, not at the top of the screen.
