   It doesn't always get gzipped. That is highly dependent on the server. Minification usually reduces code size, and some minifiers will also implement various optimizations.

   This might not produce the results you expect, because they might be doing feature detection.

   well yeah, this thing pulls 3 amps. even though it's mostly to push amperage down the USB 3.0 ports, those electrons going across the board are gonna generate some heat.

   Probably cost much more than that once you figure in the power and networking equipment. If I had the expertise, I would make large clusters with a bunch of the RPi CM3+.

   You can definitely still buy the standalone app license, but they use a pretty dark pattern to hide it. They don't really talk about it anywhere, in the forums they will just push subscriptions, and they constantly change how you get a

   The mobile app is free, but creating entries on the mobile app is a paid feature. Either with a subscription, or by buying the "pro" features. Or at least that's how it is on Android.

   this reminded me of Pykrete [0]. basically someone figured out the right ratio of water to sawdust for a frozen block of ice, and it creates a very durable and tough material similar to concrete (as long as it remains at or below freezing).

   I did some Ada in college. It's incredibly powerful, but it can be pretty difficult to work with. I don't know where else is used other than aviation and the military.

    Yes, I hope so, because fraud is a huge issue with Spotify. An older acquaintance of mine is a professional musician living in Nashville doing commissions. He made a track for a trailer of a video game, but chose not to publish it on Spotif

    I had a few friends in high school that did this. I only witnessed it twice, and both times made me pretty uncomfortable. The very first time I saw one of my friends do this, I didn't believe he had actually passed out, so I lightly to

    I don't think anyone is saying that you shouldn't store datetimes in UTC. It's just that time is complex and the errors can be subtle, and you don't want to mess up appointments across timezones because you didn't f

    I'm pretty sure they're only killing this because it's going to compete with Stadia whenever it gets released.

    Not totally relevant, but if you have AT&T Gigafiber (and you don't have TV or landline phone service), you can actually bypass AT&T's god-awful router by getting an UBNT EdgeRouter or USG and setting up eap_proxy [0]. [0]

    so this is gonna seem kinda weird, but I noticed y'all run the audio developers conference. I own the domain adc.io, for a project that went nowhere years ago, so now I mostly use it for some personal things. would you guys be interest

    honestly, I don't mind something similar already exists. the problem I'm having is how do I enter a niche space and get customers away from my competition? the niche I'm entering has existing solutions, but they're messy

    Sometimes things are negotiable, and if you list a price, it could be a turnoff for a potential (usually large) customer. Like if you see that something costs $X, and you can only afford $Y, you might not even bother with it. But if you tal

    I saw you give a talk about bikeshedding in APIs at Great Wide Open in Atlanta a few years ago. I don't know why but after that talk I always assumed you played a role in some of the language design.

    Sounds like you have a lot of experience with imperative and procedural languages. If you want to try something pretty difficult, but familiar, try a super-strict language like Ada. If you want to try something completely different, I would

    Git wasn't released until 2005, so what did they use before then? I know it says they pulled the history from 24 snapshots.
