Looks like the browser spends most of the loading time resolving DNS.

"More generally, the goal is to make sure to avoid any trolley problem" - that's it. In real life you wouldn't be thinking whom to kill, you will be thinking how you can stop the trolley or get the people out without kil

This is where EVs also have an advantage because they scrub their brake pads much less.

Or maybe they will go to the junkyard despite being perfectly fine because no one manufactures batteries for that model anymore (and installing a third-party battery is blocked by some DRM).

A portable and clean replacement for a small gasoline/diesel generator in luggage form would be nice. So your idea is not too unrealistic.

Because it correlates with good health? People who feel bad after consuming coffee because of health issues tend to avoid consuming it (either consciously or unconsciously).

When the article says "Coax is cheaper than BaseT because easier silicon and running coax in a rack is simple enough", what is meant under "coax"? Does someone use coaxial cables for 10 gigabit links?

They use careful wording: "good review" might be interpreted as "a detailed and objective review", not necessarily one that praises the product.

Good to have a version of Roboto that is not distinctly associated with the Android OS. I remember having to dismiss Roboto in favor of Arimo just for that reason (despite Roboto being a better fit overall).

I can confirm that used Leafs from the USA are very popular here in Kyiv. They sell for something around 18000 USD, are about three years old, and are said to have freshly replaced batteries (which may or may not be true).

Software does so much more today as a baseline requirement. Think about all that internationalization, high DPI graphics, security, nice APIs and modularity: these aspects of software have never been at such a high level before.

Ironically, this is the code that you get if you follow all the latest React/Redux "best practices" when doing your JavaScript UI development.

I like how MPC-HC uses proper hardware codecs for h.264 and doesn't try to do it programmatically on its own like some other players do.

Video captions are also very important for non-native English speakers (or better say, those who cannot really SPEAK this language) because it's often hard for them to discern English words by ear.

We did the same for the linter in our JavaScript project. Of course, the linter config is focused mostly on pitfalls and "good parts", not on code style (except for the most annoying code style issues).

Interesting how the HN comments are also dividing between "it's obvious that monorepos are better" and "it's obvious that multirepos are better".

In your example with a phone call and a pharmacy, how would that work (the exact mechanism)? I assume that you imply that this is happening in a first-world country, of course.

Interesting how multiple people presumed that older devs prefer spaces, which seems like the opposite to me. Tabs are a thing of the past, people used to use them a lot, and now they are relatively rarely used.

The frequency of 60/1001 Hz and the situation where we are stuck with it basically forever is a shame upon the entire profession of video engineers.

Let's say I make a hash of an asset and put it into a very long-time archive (like 100 years or whatever). What checksum algorithm should I use to be sure it will be readily available in software after 100 years? And to make the choice

I can say the same. Those services that were banned are either the most outrageous war propaganda outlets, or honeypots that gather intelligence information (imagine half of all Ukrainians communicating via a social network that is fully co

Totally not. Many newly-installed signs in Kyiv are bilingual, in Ukrainian and in English. We have official rules for transliterating Cyrillic into Latin which the government uses.

Ironically, the name "Kiev" would be no less offensive becuase this spelling of the name implies that this is a Russian city, not a Ukrainian one. The official and correct spelling is "Kyiv", see http://kyiv.o

Here in Ukraine it would be very hard to get adoption of a programming language that is named after a Russian military base. This is the rare case where bad naming choice really hurts. No matter how good is the language, you will have to he

I get your point. It would be chauvinistic if I said that we are so strong that we can't be taken by force (which is impossible), while actually I'm just saying that we are too corrupt (so that every time a pivotal point comes, so

I don't know what is the Russian equivalent of this saying, but the Ukrainian version that got very popular recent years has an interesting culturological twist. The word that is used as an antonym of "victory" does not trans
