Also FF Dev Edition, averaging 0.94 fps. It's on Ubuntu though with Nvidia card. Pretty sure it's all about whether HW acceleration is enabled or not.

It is important to not go overboard with these things. If you are building an app that probably won't have 10^6 requests a second and won't need to scale to the moon, this is overkill. All of such things add a lot of extra latenc

I played competitive Starcraft and then Warcraft III with several friends. One still works as a cashier in a grocery store. One works in IT support. One works for the gov't as a bureaucrat. I also played WoW with a lot of people. Out o

I thought it was that the highest point of friction can occur anywhere in the contact patch. So the higher the contact area, the higher the probability of having highest friction.

I tried JS multiple times. And every time, easy things are complicated when doing them in JS. It is much easier and faster for me to do those same things in C, even though I'm equally familiar with both. This is mostly because there a

I'm not saying anyone was forced either. I was just saying the numbers aren't that surprising.

Sure, but if you make a visible button on the second most popular browser that links to your product, you would get a lot of users and some of them would sign up for the paid service. I bet the number of users would be much smaller if there

There's this recent review: http://w3.arizona.edu/~tigger/assets/documents/Nadel-etal%20... But whenever I read these, I always think they might be getting it largely wrong. In fact, they themselves adm

Regarding where I'm getting the info: https://www.globalwebindex.net/blog/what-to-know-about-tinde... 62% of dating app users are men. This is actually much better than OkC. Also, Tinder has 2x more users in gene

Ok, first of all, the article says that women are forced to look for sex on dating apps, because the ratio of desirable men to desirable women is small. This is not the case, as there are dating apps where the ratio of desirable men to desi

What about "for sex to find a spouse"?

OkC has (or had when I used the site) a quickmatch mechanic where it's essentially the same. If both sides match, both receive a message that they matched each other. I guess all they could do is just filter all messages and only keep

The article makes an implicit assumption that girls don't want a fling and want marriage instead. Then it argues that it is because the ratios are skewed. I am arguing that the ratios are only skewed if they look in the places where th

I guess I really don't get it. Why do women use Tinder when they could be using OkCupid? It's literally 25-28% women and 72-75% men in the Bay Area. These are the numbers I got from scraping OkC profiles that had words in them. T

Yeah, I take my criticism back. I didn't go through the whole thing initially. Excellent examples. Thanks for your hard work. It is indeed an amazing series.

You can't evaluate every single slight variation on your testing environment. That's just the nature of the field.

I guess it would be great if there was some sort of application that let you apply these techniques and actually see the results. Otherwise, it's like reading the theory section of documentation without getting to use the program.

DNA damage is not a major issue at all. Most of the damage can be "reversed" by looking at your close relatives since it's single nucleotide mutations. Right now you can't even get the genome sequenced without gaps for

I thought it was shown that Windows ignores the hosts file when sending the data. So wouldn't this fail?

You can just turn off location services on android. However, we also began with almost no privacy expectations on phones from the beginning of smartphones. The difference here is that people using Windows in the past did have an expectatio

To play a devil's advocate, it's not like you get better at math while working as a SWE.

Yeah, I agree with you. However, it is always a trade-off between usability and security.

Why attack Airbnb for trying out a new approach? Also, Google is not that great at some things they do. For example, Google is somehow much worse at navigation than Waze even though they were at it for much longer and had tons of data. Now

Cyanogen mod let you give fake permissions for 2 years now. That fixes some of the problems.

Pretty sure they can get the photos whenever they want once you have the app installed and running in the background. Otherwise, how would automatic photos backup work? I haven't written any Android apps though so I don't know th

by lqdc13 11y ago
I think Spotify guy is right. If you give photos access to twitter, it is not much of a stretch to give it to the Music app. The problem is the way permissions work. You should be able to give temporary individual permissions to each app fo
