I've observed that behavior in others but never done it myself. As someone who doesn't randomly highlight as I read, I nevertheless agree that a toolbar that appears on highlight is obnoxious for a reading-oriented site. (Meanwh

Yes! Not only Tempest 2000 and Tempest 3000, Minter's Polybius [1] is very similar to Tempest. (It's also just awesome that Minter named his game Polybius.) [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VXsAiNdelk

Complaints about the web site itself aside, I'd like to encourage designers to exercise more restraint when applying some of these laws. Most poignant for me is the misapplication and zealous over-application of Hick's Law. If y

Importantly, since this is a Mozilla project, that service should be self-hostable [1] to disintermediate the multi-device synchronization platform. It should not be necessary to have a third-party observe all my contacts and calendars. [1

I share your concern. Based on my admittedly loose understanding, although the Spectre vulnerability is "more difficult" to exploit, I suspect it's a matter of time before exploits become more common. And the Spectre vulner

While I figure most of us using Ubiquiti Networks gear in our home have local VM servers that can host the controller, there are some houses where this is not the case. But in those cases, you can still run the controller in a VM on your m

Precisely. Any modern $5,000 workstation is going to have 16+ Xeon cores, 128+ GB of memory, NVMe SSDs, and a high-end nVidia GPU or two. Two years ago I purchased a dual Xeon E5 workstation for 32 total HT cores, along with 128 GB, an I

Agreed. Using a bitmap for a logo seems a bit silly considering the designer probably created it in a vector form and exported it as a bitmap at a developer's request. If you have a vector source, you might as well retain the upsides
