I wouldn't say that invalidates their achievements though. It's not like they took a 20+ year old architecture, built it on 14nm to bump up clock speed and were done. Improving something existing still requires you to thoroughly u

Welp, not that our product is that popular, we're selling in one country only, but there are exactly zero tests. Everything is manual. And I think this is still how the majority of projects out there do it. Not that this is great, but

I'm still using an old 1B (512MB version) for Kodi, almost on a daily basis. Playing back stuff from an NFS share. I'm limited to 1080p but that's still fine with me, I'd need a TV upgrade first anyways. It's showin

Same here. There's still times where a !g actually improves the results but usually duckduckgo's results are fine.

I thought the same when I got to this point but I wondered if and how much real damage this does. Fearing things on its own shouldn't be a bad thing. The repelling part is probably that you're lying about what children should fear

How do you even have the energy and patience to do these things. After a day's work, if my kids hit each other I just couldn't act all calm and put on these kinds of little plays described in the article. Before learning to raise

You know, it's not like you couldn't use one browser for work and the other one for everything else. I certainly don't need to inspect WebSocket frames while booking a flight, reading the news, chatting with family on faceboo

Yeah, admittedly if you don't know what's going on there it might feel pretty convoluted and "wtf am I doing here". OTOH, on Linux you could do this since forever, it's not been that long ago that Windows finally sh

Just checked with Chromium 71 on Linux against lighttpd - keepalive works just fine, seeing html, css and js requested using the same connection. I'd also suspect something's up with your server's implementation. FWIW, this i

There are two reasons you want to compromise a host: 1) You're building a botnet (or, these days, are crypto mining). In that case you're not targeting a specific machine, you just want many of them. 2) You want to exfiltrate info

The post you replied to outlined a way to determine which packages were downloaded for the HTTPS way, so I don't get what you're trying to say here.

In Germany before that law, they made sure you wouldn't get the credentials to roll your own. There were some tutorials around how to extract your PPPoE credentials from certain cheap DSL routers, but many were fixed over time, so if y

I have an unexplainable fascination with that CPU too. A couple years ago I picked up an old workstation with two PPro 200 (256k). The 168pin EDO RAM is very hard to come by these days, especially as the manual says my machine accepts unbuf

I had similar experience when I played around with it a decade ago. I actually resorted to the closed source shoutcast server back then, which was almost plug and play, even though it was already pretty much abandoned software at that time.

It can be even worse; I'm usually browsing youtube on my phone and then send videos I'm interested in to XBMC, so I see them on the big screen. Downside is that youtube doesn't count that as me having seen the video (even whe

Post Snowden I wouldn't safely assume that the govt/three letter agencies don't do something just because there is no evidence. Snowden was years ago, the NSA surely didn't sit on their hands in the meantime, especially

Agree, this is the only thing that's almost as well-designed as the init part of systemd. Unfortunately, you still have some weird edge-case every now and then with it that's just not possible to set up, and then you're screw

It is very tempting to believe that a monorepo will solve all your dependency issues. If you have a project that's say pure python consisting of a client app, a server app, and then a dozen libs, that might actually be true, since you

They still do. Not like when DNS rebind was all the rage, where Firefox decided to cache DNS replies forever, but they still bump the TTL to a minimum of several minutes, which is enough to confuse people in the CP scenario. I wouldn't

I suggest you just try running optipng on some random PNG files you have on your HDD. Results vary greatly, but I've seen savings between 10 and 20% on files coming from GIMP where I always set the compression to 9 (maximum). I never t
