Does Gmail have "support"? I tried Googling it and every road just seems to lead to a generic knowledge base page.

Shadowbanning seems like a technique that only worked back when it was an original idea that nobody knew about. Nowadays if you have a dedicated cheater who actually has something concrete to gain from abusing the system, it's absolute

Let's keep it real, the cheaters aren't opting out of learning to code because they want to dedicate all that extra time to mastering the theory instead.

I don't know whether or not they have the right - do they have the right to read some sealed-up documents in your briefcase? Whatever your answer to that question is, it should probably be the same answer to the e-mail question. All th

It's not really the same thing at all. Something you leave in your office is something you won't have access to at your destination - so it's logical that it wouldn't be subject to customs. Something online, regardless

Maybe the NSA can, maybe the NSA can't - but even if they could, I guarantee that customs/postal workers won't have access to it. Unless the NSA is specifically intercepting your particular SSD (in which case you have much bi

Yes, that was indeed Hajin Lee. She not only predicted it, but then also refuted it (correctly) before it ever appeared on the board.

I think that guy's just exaggerating, or using a buggy plugin. I'm running Atom 1.16 in Windows right now, 2 panes with ~6 tabs open and it's sitting at around 25 MB of memory. This is with vim-mode and a python autocomplete

Performance has been a key focus of the last few releases. 1.17, the stable release also being released today, has a major jump: http://blog.atom.io/2017/04/18/improving-startup-time.html

It's an old joke about driving, not IT. The guy was just trying to be funny, I guess.

For sure I'm on the same page as you that the current "media climate" is not necessarily a healthy one for society as a whole. But almost nobody uses that kind of "if everybody simultaneously stopped doing X the world wo

You're kind of proving my point. - Your first link is about the unroll.me debacle. Perfect example to me of a completely overblown story. They used receipt data to produce an anonymized sum (probably broken down by things like region,

Okay, I'll bite - what kinds of things do I not "understand is actually happening" in terms of what companies like Google and Facebook do with my data? I'm a reasonably technical person and I honestly believe the "t

I have no idea how the JCP works, but I find it odd that Google doesn't have a vote in this process. They're clearly one of the biggest users and developers of Java in the world, even if you discount Android. Did they choose to ab

It's not the font-rendering he's taking exception to. His argument seems to be that UI elements like the chevrons and icons in vim-powerline shouldn't be rendered using fonts at all. They currently are because traditionally t

It seems to be a classification of sorts. He's using {guy running} for performance optimizations like ae65f95, {paint palette} for visual changes, etc. What a neat idea! It's easy to glance at the commit log and get a sense of wha

I have no direct experience, but I would be surprised if that were true. Emulator development is the perfect intersection of, like, three different communities (low-level tech, video games, and open source) that are (at least on HN) perceiv

I hope this observation doesn't come across as bigoted or insensitive in any way, but I find it interesting how common transgender people (like the star of this article) are in the emulator/rom dev community. I can think of four o

I'm legitimately confused - has Solomon ever been CEO of Docker? I don't believe he is now. Why would extra sensitivity around Solomon be needed right now?

I would like to believe this, but this feels like one of those conclusions that flip 180 degrees every few years, depending on who you ask. I have very little trust in nutritional science for these kinds of things.

The question still stands; will we be bumping a version number, or changing a package name?

The GP was saying CUDA was "easier to work with", not OpenCL. OpenCL's broken-ness then presumably is that it's hard to work with.

Yeah, exactly. "Did not test with real phones" is journalist code for "does not actually work in reality, but why throw away a perfectly good headline?"

I genuinely cannot figure out what "playing the pronoun game" means in this context.
