This was on HN a while ago, and should give you some idea of the complexity involved: https://www.severe-weather.eu/global-weather/polar-vortex-co... Note that it is from January 10th.

Check `about:processes`. (I'm not sure if this is only available in Nightly right now.) It lists all processes, threads, and their memory + CPU usage.

Is the text blurry for you? Something about the mix of blurred text that should be sharp + a pixel-perfect cursor seems to be the culprit for my discomfort.

Take a watch of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGFhc8R_uO4 The talk is a few years old, but that doesn't really matter because this chip was fabbed at 40 nm.

Is that as important for a microcontroller, though? It's not like Linux on an SoC, where the pain is vendor kernels that are buggy, incomplete, and/or outdated.

On the other hand: the larger Twitter is, the easier it is for them to bargain hard with Amazon. A world with multiple competing Twitter-like services is potentially better for Amazon's bottom line.

Does this affect images etc as well? I use an Android phone, so unfortunately can't play with it.

A brief, related rant: Why the heck do mobile browsers not implement any sort of full page zoom or viewport resizing? (Perhaps better called "page scaling"; it's what desktop browsers do when you press control-plus/contr

What proposals are there for eliminating leap seconds? I don't see how you can get around them without either redefining the second, or putting off a bigger adjustment later.

Why go through the trouble of generating a blob of executable code at runtime rather than just including it in the JS source? The security guarantees are the same.

That explanation doesn't quite fit with historical opinion polls. It wasn't until 2000 that strong dislike of the opposing party shot up, and dislike had been slowly growing before that. But it is possible that the sudden change i

This doesn't make sense. A C compiler that has been compiled to javascript is still just a regular javascript program. It's not given special access to anything.

But implicit in your statement that it's "a secret way for the manufacturer to get into your device" is the claim that Zyxel intended it as a bypass. It seems like without intent, anything can be called a "backdoor"
411.
by jml7c5 6y ago
Is "backdoor" the right term for this? I was under the impression that it implied intent. I.e., a "backdoor" is something added specifically to provide access through abnormal means, not just something that can be used

The site doesn't specify it well, but this is cost for a given level of illumination, not cost for any level of illumination. It takes a lot of firewood to produce the same amount of light as a regular lightbulb. Heck, it takes a lot

It appears this is cost-per-lumen, not just cost-for-any-level-of-illumination. So it makes sense. The bottom of the page has this information: >Method: This project is a visualization of a 1990s paper[0] by William Nordhaus, wherein the

This seems a bit too conspiracy-minded. The article notes that it's likely a colleague who poisoned him. Besides, why would the Chinese government go down that route when they already have the power to censor and direct the productio

My apologies, dang. I wasn't sure which (<date>) to add to the title. It was initially published in 2011, but new chapters were added in 2018. I don't know which is preferable, and so trapped by a paralysis of indecisiveness
