It’s quite rare for the average website to actually hit 1Gbps, that’s certainly true. Nobody makes webpages big enough to hit that speed, or even for that top speed to matter. But I can download games from Steam at approximately full speed,

Remember, we are talking about minimums here, the least common denominator. At 100×20Mbps you are not handicapped like you are if you are stuck on dialup. Live 4K video chat needs less than 20×20Mbps, but remember also that most people don&

No, they didn’t. They decided not to raise the definition of broadband from 100×20 Mbps up to 1Gps. And that’s simply because 100Mbps is actually a lot of bandwidth. We just don’t have any killer applications that need more than 20Mbps. 4K

When I implemented one I simply filtered the results that came back from previous requests to see if they matched what the user had typed in the mean time. That way the UI might get relevant results with lower latency than would otherwise b

Just in case you somehow don’t know what a Black Hole Star is, check out Kurzgesagt’s video about them < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeWyp2vXxqA >

Well, then he cannot object to a package containing the GPL code from before the license change.

Seriously. Unless people sue them they’ll just keep doing it. Sue them for the lost photos at least.

It’s also worth noting that this isn’t really free software. It uses a Creative Commons license with the noncommercial and no derivatives clauses. At best it is “source available”; you cannot distribute any changes that you make or adapt it

Since the rules vary, my location doesn’t really matter; you’re going to have to find out for sure what the rules are in your jurisdiction anyway.

Depends on the country, obviously. This videos was taken in Myanmar, so ask a real estate lawyer in Myanmar. Around here most boundaries are based on landmarks and other boundaries. If the land shifts horizontally then so do all or most of

Lol. Although funny, it might be a little too soon to be making that joke.

Don’t forget about the Charge of the Light Brigade, commanded by the Earl of Cardigan. After the war he became famous and people copied the knit jumper he wore, naming it the cardigan. That’s two knit garments from the same battle. Canon to

Contrast does not cause fatigue or eye strain. Brightness does. If your monitor is hurting your eyes, turn it down. Don’t rely on a designer to use gray text so that it doesn’t hurt your eyes, adjust the brightness directly to the level tha

If white on black text causes any eye strain at all then you need to adjust your monitor, not make the text gray.

Those are so unportable that I’d completely forgotten about them :) But my man pages say that they exist on BSD in addition to GNU, so that’s pretty good these days. I say go for it.

That is actually really, really hilarious. Kudos to whoever thought of it!

As long as you’re fixing that bug, you should do it right. If the return value from snprintf if more than 256 but less than a few GB then you should malloc a buffer big enough to hold the string and then call snprintf again with the new buf

True, he doesn't come right out and say the words. But don’t lose sight of the context. This is the big Keynote speech at a conference called OOPSLA, or “Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages & Applications”, in 1998. It

You know that thing people do where they say the same thing using different words? You’ll have to comprehend the words rather than merely pattern matching on a specific phrase. In particular, note how he talks about growing the language by

This is not moving the goal posts. Different people making the same claim may use different phrasing, and Google very much has recency bias. By searching for something slightly different we deprioritize the video we’ve already seen.

You’ll get better results if you just search for “OOP large teams” rather than the specific phrase used in the video. You’ll get results like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming#Po... that point t

If poor economic choices, inept management, and inefficient government don't qualify as “badly regulated”, then you are using a stricter definition of regulation than we are.
