   Yes, I know it's been possible for years. But 5G would lower the deployment costs dramatically (assuming the operator gets a good flatrate data deal) and it enables connecting moving objects like buses and trains into the network. You

   Apart from possible health effects, is anyone else concerned about 5G eventually being used for real-time CCTV surveillance networks with centralized facial recognition? The higher bandwidth (up to 10 Gbps) and higher cell density should su

   Email delivery can easily be delayed 1-2 minutes. I’m not sure it’s the best method for an early warning system.

   Whenever Apple finishes the app review, I suppose. It's a bit of a shame that people are running vulnerable versions of WhatsApp because Apple is taking its time.

   I believe the events from that article happened before the NYT acquisition. At that time the Wirecutter was still a startup.

   It's not FUD if the danger is real. In that case it's just everyone's responsibility to stay informed.

   Parcel has 57 dependencies... (not even counting transient dependencies) That sort of defeats the purpose of switching from webpack. And for libraries: Why do you even need a bundler? Can you not distribute the library as multiple files?

    For me the biggest problem is webpack. Do you know an alternative bundler with less dependencies and typescript support? I already use webpack without the webpack-cli package in most of my projects in order to avoid the extra dependencies.

    Intel's Turbo Boost specification only allows for a few seconds of boosting. Of course you can overclock (letting it run longer than stock settings) if you have better cooling or if you won the silicon lottery. Furthermore, I think the

    Interesting question... How would I file a complaint against Mozilla? Their privacy policy is only available in English and lists Mozilla Corporation in Mountain View as the legal entity. They probably don't conduct many business activ

    I would still wait for European DoH to be available (if ever). There's no way I'm sending my entire DNS traffic to the US or a US entity.

    Does this apply even when you are not using Spectrum's DNS? I.e. do they modify the DNS responses of other DNS providers? I am not a customer of theirs, nor have I been a customer of an ISP that engages in such practice. As a EU citize

    Did you ever have issues with local DNS caching after switching location? Did you ever have to run the following command to reset Apple's local DNS after switching? sudo dscacheutil -flushcache sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

    Yep, it does look scammy as hell. I got an email from Yahoo about this settlement about a week ago and at first I thought it was spam. From: info@service.comms.yahoo.net Subject: Yahoo Security Breach Proposed Settlement If you had a Yahoo

    Yes! Activate the "annoyances" lists in uBlock Origin. I believe many of them are off by default. "AdGuard Annoyances" or "Fanboy's Annoyance List" and "Fanboy's Cookie List" should do the t

    Firefox on Android is a usability shitshow compared to Chrome on Android. And I say that as someone who doesn't like Google products. I think most people who wanted adblocking on Android switched to Brave instead, which is essentially

    I would say it's a PR piece, because they named it "Volfefe" and because the Wikipedia article reads like it was written by a PR firm for JPM. (and if not that, it at least quotes a lot of PR articles)

    You can see a list of all changes in the "What's New in TypeScript" document on GitHub: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/What's-new-in-T... And a list of breaking changes here:

    I love TypeScript. I started using it around v1.0. Microsoft has hit some gold with it. When I first started using it I had lots of `any` in my code (like the Google employee is describing here). But over time it really starts being extreme

    Even for "complex reporting" you can still use ORMs if you save your SQL query as a VIEW in the database. Then you use ORM for reading the output.

    Another reason why they moved to Electron may be that Google announced [0] in 2016 that they will discontinue Chrome Apps (outside of Chrome OS). [0]: https://blog.chromium.org/2016/08/from-chrome-apps-to-web.ht...
