could that be the other way around? If you're more rowdy, you're more likely to have had a traumatic brain injury?

I kind of regret buying a Fitbit, unfortunately it's not part of that list!

Anyone knows if it's possible to do something similar with a Fitbit? Basically extracting the data without having to sync it with fitbit's servers?

I wrote a whirl article about a single line of code, I hope the mentality starts to change. https://www.theguardian.com/info/2019/dec/02/faster-postgres...

I don't know, I find it a bit upsetting that the X1 I bought 8 years ago had already 8G. Doubling every 8 years seems a bit slow. I would like a bit more headroom to future proof it.

I suspect the behaviour described on reddit is only for the USA, or at least everywhere but not in Europe. If that behaviour is observed in Europe I suspect they'll get the European Commission on their back pretty soon. Anyone can conf

Given that anything that contains energy can go boom, I think of all of them this one doesn't sound too bad. Probably local casualties but no risk of cancer for the next century, or ground pollution for the next decades.

It's bad for rep, but it's also a great business card.

I think the knife metaphor here might be a bit understated. It's more like a self guiding missile. It's meant to hurt, so that makes NSO pretty dodgy.

If you're interested in comparing numbers, there's a great breakdown here: https://www.drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions It doesn't compare exactly what you're asking but it feels relevant

We use it for a large variety of situation. From direct exposition (via API gateway) to HTTP traffic, to very spiky loads such that we don't pay for hardware in between spikes. We've also have a kind of "hybrid pipeline"

I don't think it was a WebRTC issue, I think they crafted a video such that the decoder would end up executing code. Similar to what happen to Jeff Bezos.

Renault does that, they publish winter and summer realistic range. They're pretty spot on.

Usually companies send the 2FA token once the password has been entered. So someone has your password and you're only saved by 2FA. So you can start by changing your password maybe?

I don't know if it qualifies as censorship. Facebook or other social media platforms aren't public spaces, they are private. You can remove whatever you want from your own private platform. If president trump want to say something

Am I correct this potentially weaken our shielding against charged particles coming from the Sun? And if so, is it opening the possibility of having northern lights in the middle of the Atlantic?

Comparing with my current macos build, it seems like a bliss to use really.

I think Rust is pretty much a meta-rewrite. The same way you describe a team learning from an existing product (CSS parser) what needed to be addressed, they applied the same logic but one level higher: on the very tool they were using. I

That's as trustworthy as your web browser, which is pretty good at sandboxing nowadays.

We do indeed have what essentially is a text-editor with Guardian specific features developed in house. It's used for all of our content, but specifically what you're referring to are liveblogs, where a journalist can write short

That wasn't part of these exchanges, but yes we produce the tools for that in house. The Grid is a good example of what's been produced in house, and it's actually open source (and I think being used by the BBC?) https:&#x2F

There's a little bit more to our news app than content delivery, even though content delivery is indeed the crux of the problem. Regarding the content itself, it's a more complex than a wall of text, so we need support for each ty

The Guardian (my employer) and the BBC ran sessions to exchange about how to make a news app. It's on pause given the current situation, but it was very informative!

Wouldn't that be a reflection of the world's bias rather than Google's bias?

Aren't most SQL engines computational engines? So even with tightly controlled accesses, one ill intentioned client might be able to produce a statement that would take a lot of resources. Even with a tight timeout the database might n

I've been on i2p almost a decade ago, the level of filth and illegality of the content there made me very quickly reconsider what network I wanted to participate in. Don't know if that has changed but I honestly don't want to
