It's a static site running on GitHub pages, over HTTPS, directly out of a linked repo so you can examine the source code. I literally could not imagine a more transparent way to serve this application. The only way an attack vector is

A certain set of people take enormous pride in using unstyled HTML like this. (See "Motherfucking Website" [0]) The problem is it's not 1994 anymore, monitors are no longer 800 pixels wide, so it looks like shit and is imposs

Cool homage to the original, but I think not displaying the full city upon first load (and using fog to obscure out-of-view parts) diminishes the appeal to potential advertisers. Who would want to buy a building out in the corner? Maybe the

Warby Parker's purchasing/CS experience is incredible and I've been buying from them for at least 8 years now. But I think I may try one of the more corporate brands next time because I've just never been very satisfied

Pretty sure clicking on the right-side of the mouse has activated secondary click by default all the way back to the Mighty Mouse (2005), no? Even if not, it's one checkbox to enable it. You don't need a keyboard to right-click, t

It's won't necessarily catch every single thing, but Spotify's automatically-generated weekly "Release Radar" does an excellent job of aggregating new releases for me. I believe it's based on both artists you h

Perhaps we should think about establishing a public listing of checksums for important texts? Not sure exactly how it would work, you'd probably only want to run it against the main text so there would remain some flexibility for chapt

Yes! The Genius Bar experience has been terrible (especially as a somewhat socially anxious person) the past few times I've been there. A lot of sitting while constantly busy employees buzzed around, unsure if I was waiting in the righ

I agree with the author's premise, and would go even go further and say that nothing should ever be able to steal focus from a user's active application. Ever. In any OS.

You can sync playlists of local files from a desktop to a mobile device, I believe. It's definitely a little clunkier than the direct uploads that some other streaming services provide, though.

I'm in a similar spot - you can also stream the MP4s from archive.org as a workaround (they're usually linked on the lecture's OCW page.)

Excellent, this will surely cause no confusion with macOS executables.

There was a time where I would have strongly related to this. Thankfully, now I've started using pipenv whenever possible and it basically just works(TM). I hope it becomes the standard going forward.

Is immutability of a contract not the entire point? What security does a decentralized smart contract offer if its implementation can be totally swapped out?

In my experience... yes. At least in the Pittsburgh area, every food truck, small boutique, expo vendor, etc. that I've encountered has used Square and an iPad to handle payments.

Most cryptocurrencies (especially the few that Coinbase trades) are still so pegged to the Bitcoin price that it's hard to see any value in this, especially considering the management fee. Click between any of the currency graphs on th

There hasn't really been a must-have iPhone hardware feature since Touch ID. The faster speeds of newer models are nice, but for the vast majority of people, anything back to a 5S is perfectly adequate. And that's a good thing - e

Having to look down at a center-mounted console to see your current speed seems dangerous. Really, the whole "remove all tactile console controls and slap in an iPad" thing seems lazy and tacky.

I personally stopped reading when they switched from Wordpress to Medium - found out recently that they switched back after a year, but it was too late at that point.

Yes, making these "improvements" completely useless to anyone who occasionally plays videogames (and therefore most likely leaves their TV in game mode). I'd honestly pay extra for _less_ processing: give me a 65" dumb m

You know how some F2P games will allow you to watch video ads in order to e.g. earn extra in-game currency, activate a point multiplier, etc? As it stands, you can start one of these ads and then turn your phone upside down, or look away. H

This is a nice, pro-consumer move, although I wonder if they will lose advertising revenue as a result. One would have to imagine that one of their big sells to Discover advertisers would be that their content is shoved in your face wheneve

I'm skeptical that this would actually be profitable... would like to see some metrics on AWS costs vs. mining rewards.

Because Google's cached pages still try to load images, scripts, and CSS from the original domain, meaning they are almost always completely useless unless you wait long enough for the header to switch to text-only view to appear.

Hmm... it seems like most of the time when I want to transfer a large file to someone (or to another one of my own devices), I just want to do it immediately and only once, so there's no need to upload it to a third, temporary location

On the flip side, any OS that restarts without explicit user confirmation is broken.
