Sandbox it from what , exactly? The ability to access things you care about and arbitrary internet addresses are intrinsic to a proxy. If you stop it being able to see your traffic, it stops working. If you stop it being able to get to the

CIE recommend the use of LAB for paints/dyes/surfaces, and LUV for displays. I don't know why . I just know they do. If I had to guess, it would be that LUV is designed for additive mixing, and LAB is not, but that is a gues

Reading the article wouldn't help, in this instance, since the only ingredient it supposes might be in the formula is otter semen.

Yes and no. An AD DC can be offline for as long as 60 days (by default, since the actual length of time is covered by AD's tombstone lifetime, which is configurable) and recover just fine, assuming you're not to worried about the

Thank goodness you are completely incorrect on all of your points. As a self-admitted solid 5/10 average-as-it-gets human, not only do I acknowledge my own existence, but I've also managed to, somehow, get dates. Said more crass

Speculative Fiction, not science fiction. Fantasy is more than welcome there.

Can this machine, beautiful art though it may make, look at the work of the cubists and spontaneously generate Gehry? Without Mondrian, would it find beauty in clean abstract lines and sharp angles? Can it, by itself, come up with the conce

Morally, I don't see this as in any way worse than reddit, which is doing the exact same thing, albeit hosting the platform on which people are sharing their content in the first place.

This specific behaviour is why I love Apollo. I do this exact thing when skimming through threads -- there's a couple of ways to do what you want to do: Tap on the top of a comment to collapse that comment and any below it, assuming

I use this feature all the time. I collapse comment chains I'm completely uninterested in by tapping on them. That said, you can turn it off for comments: Settings > General > Tap to Collapse

Thanks. I didn't really think I wasn't doing well enough, but affirmation is always welcome. As for producing value, yeah, I absolutely crush it in terms of value. I'm spitting out value left and right. If you could measure t

I don't care about either of those things. I'm an internet plumber, or maybe a computer mechanic. I keep the lights on the a/c working, and it's not for me to question wherefore. I do my job and do it well because if I&#

It depends on what you mean by apathy. I'd look up the definition for you, but honestly I can't be bothered. Hyuk hyuk. Anyway: I am incredibly productive in my ops job, where I feel like the platforms I support are largely meanin

Ah. I must have misunderstood your point, that they were stunned at just how anachronistic American payment tech is.

Your comment is unclear, and I can't tell if you're talking about any of the above happening in Australia or elsewhere. In Australia signatures are not considered a valid form of identification for transactions. It's PIN or n

Where in Australia were you? I ask this because, as an Australian, I pay for essentially every single purchase on Apple Pay. Everyone I know uses mostly their phones to pay. Everyone I know has been using contactless payments on their credi

For two reasons. The first is that I dislike the idea of being a walking advertisement. The second is that frankly I find most brand logos to be somewhat tacky. Branding is fine if it is considered, but most simply isn't. If you make s

Unfortunately, as you mention, not all are high-quality. If I want good white-label vodka I go to Costco. Good white-label monitor arms apparently come from AmazonBasics. Good white-label socks come from a third place. Even worse than the f

Having never heard of Brandless, I was hoping they were possibly marketing something I have a fierce desire for, which is consumer products with minimal branding, that are superlatively well made, and priced commensurately. Unfortunately, f

I do know it's a niche use case. And I for sure wouldn't recommend that every man and his dog use the polyfill. I'm not even sure it's right for the scenario I'm thinking of. But I can definitely contrive a case whe

I am most assuredly not missing the point. Your use-case is not my use-case. I sometimes render 50mb PNGs. The execution of decoder is insignificant compared to everything else. Also, my go-kart also gets more miles to the gallon than NASCA

So it turns out that the use-case for a polyfill of a 77KB image decoder isn't particular suited to a site you want to load in sub 100ms. Oddly, though, that's not the only usecase in the world, and there are circumstances where s

I don't know that either of your statements encapsulates exactly how I think about my Wednesdays. It's not that I "don't feel like" going out, it's that I don't know whether or not I don't not want to
