The previous ship did not come down where it was supposed to. I don't think they wanted humans anywhere near where it was coming down, at least until they can reliably do pinpoint landings. Even the Falcon 9, as accurate as it is, does

No doubt it would be very useful to recover. SpaceX isn't the only one who could pluck it out of the Indian ocean though. You don't want to leave a prototype for the most advanced Spacecraft ever made just sitting around for compe

Another negative is it can only update the filter rules with an extension update (which Google controls the speed of). As far as I know, it hasn't been a problem yet but the fact that YouTube ad blocking started requiring frequent filt

There's a FAQ that explains things: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-as... To me, the biggest issue is filter lists can only be updated when the extension updates and Google cont

That's definitely true for random cheap things you're looking to buy. Unless you need it quickly, there is no reason to buy on it Amazon. You can often find the exact same item on Aliexpress for much cheaper. Shipping has gotten a

Oh! That's at least one reason why people say they need to pay with PayPal. I've see people saying they won't buy things until PayPal was supported, but I couldn't figure it out for the longest time how anyone would be i

You can get something somewhat similar to Firefox Focus in regular Firefox for Android by enabling the option to open in Private tabs by default and turning on tab auto-closing. That's what I did for a while when there were indications

Chemists used to spike each others drinks with Methyline Blue as a prank which turns your urine blue in relatively small amounts. It probably goes without saying that you should not do this.

This is done so you can use std::move to take ownership of the allocated memory in these objects rather than do a new allocation. Passing by value rather than rvalue reference let's your function be more flexible at the call site. You

Amusingly I returned to this comments section and was scrolling down looking at the time stamps for new comments and this was the first new comment I hit. Thanks. It's clearly going to come in handy.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe YouTube's new strategy requires frequent filter list updates but with MV3 the filter list is embedded in the extension so the extension itself would need to be updated (and Google cont
