When I clicked on the link, I got an alert from my AV about the site having a JS Miner. I was able to reproduce it 3/3 times. Fair warning!

The title of this article really doesn't do it justice. (And honestly, the article itself really buries the lede.) Some interesting passages: He launched a “Night for Women” and asked the city’s men to stay home in the evening an

I've seen this divorce story posted, flagged, and taken down from the front page maybe 3-4 times now. And rightly so: it's a private matter that seems out of place on an aggregator for tech news. The level of discourse in those fl

I'm curious about this encrypted VoIP network. I've never heard of an off-the-shelf product like that, so was it custom-written? What was the interface like? The source NYT article has some more details, but not enough to answer t

It's been a long time since I've been in Prague, but don't the vendors in Wenceslas Square sell normal hot-dog type buns? http://czechoutchannel.blogspot.com/2007/05/wenceslas-square... I remember g

I recommend anyone interested in Kubrick as a person check out the documentary Filmworker on Netflix, about his personal assistant Leon Vitali. (Warning that if you have a very black-and-white hero worship of Stanley, the film might disabus

It's huge, especially considering how much pushback Apple gets for charging app developers "only" 30%. Really shows how little leverage book publishers have today.

I really like the concept of this article and would love to see this quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly! I also would prefer if the comment text were rendered in actual text instead of screenshots, as the low resolution is really obvious. Ho

FWIW I have a T-Mobile prepaid plan, and it's 10GB for $50/month. (Obviously T-Mobile's coverage is not as good as, say, Verizon's.)

My argument is that CSS doesn't achieve the same result; it forces one particular mode on you instead of allowing a choice.

I didn't know about that, thanks for that!

This is why I think they should focus on exposing the dark mode setting in Javascript instead of CSS. Sites that support dark mode should (and will almost always) have a toggle for it. It'd be better if this setting helped _inform_ the

I don't think any one action is going to completely fix what's wrong with society. But I do think these guidelines are likely make society _better_ and and unlikely to make them worse. This definitely should not be the last action

Are there any games nowadays that are CPU bound to the extent that you'd see a big performance improvement by using a high-end processor?

I don't understand why you're so upset about this. If you don't think the product is a good value for your time and money, that's fine: don't purchase it. I think Helm comes with some obvious trade-offs, but the pro

I can't speak for consumer demand, but I've worked at a place that spent a fortune on Cisco VTC devices, which are basically larger, less user-friendly versions of this.

I agree with you. FWIW, the article is talking about assigning each user a fraud score for iTunes purchases. I'm guessing it's so that people can't use new iTunes accounts to game apps, or to use in-app purchases to test stol

Is there a list of well-known studies that have been overturned because they haven't been reproducible? I'm wondering how much "common knowledge" that has come from those studies is actually true or not.

I've used StrongLifts for 2+ years and second the recommendation. HOWEVER. Because it's just an app with videos, it's really up to you to learn proper form and execute it each time. Additionally, the app doesn't know you

I'm not sure Blizzard does ban-waves for press. From what I've heard, they (and many other developers) ban in waves so it's harder for cheaters to establish causality. "I did this thing and got banned, therefore avoid do

There are a lot of very specific examples of filmmaking techniques for increasing clarity in movies. One that comes to mind is how George Miller uses center-framing to make it easier for audiences to follow the action in Mad Max Fury Road:

I find these types of articles invigorating and demoralizing at the same time. I think the reason why, and something I've thought about a lot lately, is: what would it actually take to do something like this? It'd probably involve

Maybe I misread the article, but I only see tweets commenting on (read: making fun of) local Twitter. I don't actually see any examples of it besides two or three quotes from people who are allegedly "on local Twitter." And t

What a great story. I really like the use of humor to defang. To me, that feels a lot more effective than wrath or spite.

Not to mention that the industries that could be most transformed by adopting blockchains -- banking being the obvious one -- are among the most slow-moving and change-averse.
